I haven’t had the opportunity to be davina for months and months now… possibly over a year ago when I think of it. Our lives changed some time ago with us both taking early retirement although late last year we both took in short term jobs rather than face another long winter of not doing much ( can’t say the extra income hasn’t helped either though not why we started working again)

Approaching April we’re both still in employment.. me full time and my wife part time 2 days a week.

The relevance of that being that my opportunities are even less though as it happens I have a couple of days today and tomorrow when I’m not working and home alone so I feel Davina might be reappearing. My wife bought some of those shiny pvc looking trousers recently and I’m thinking I’ll be trying those on and hopefully getting some pics as it’s been ages since i did any as explained above. Hopefully they’ll be good enough to post on my Flickr page 🙏

Well, a little happier today. I managed to grab an hour to try on most of the new dresses that I've recently bought. Only a quick try on but it gives me a bit of pleasure to know that most of them are OK size wise and that I'm happy with how they look. There are a couple I'm not too happy with but as I bought them super cheap at less than £5 each as an experimental choice I'm not that disappointed. At least I know which ones I'll be trying on first when I can get fully dressed.

Also bought a decently sized travel jewellery case off FB Marketplace earlier this week. I also spent some time sorting out my necklaces and earrings so now they are all stored together safely and securely.

Little things but they all count.

It's quite funny that everyone was thinking the same thing! I look every day and kept thinking 'I should make a post' but then I could never think of anything to write about lol

I'm doing ok, although my father-in-law died recently, which was very sad but not unexpected, but otherwise everything is cool. Lots of dressing although I got reprimanded last week by the gf who thought there was a problem because I had been in drab for a few days! She insisted that I get dressed next day, and of course I was more than happy to comply 🙄🤣

Dressed once for about 3 hours in January and that's all Davina has seen of 2023.

Work is ultra manic and stressful, with oldest coming and going in local college no hope dressing working from home and with other ridiculous stress in life at the moment a bit fed up in general not just with no opportunity to dress and have some escapism but just with life in general being full on stress and groundhog day.

Would love to escape it all for a bit.

Holiday abroad over Easter I hope to be able to relax but heads not in the best place at the moment and not sleeping very well.

I was also thinking recently that it was a bit quiet on here, I suppose most of the input seems to come from Davina but I do try to post stuff occasionally and I know others try to post as well.

Definitely feeling frustrated, zero dressing time for me since Christmas so I'm probably overcompensating by buying dresses online that I can't find any time to wear 😂😮. I'm also looking at buying a couple of decent wigs to replace the relatively cheap one that I have (this is after the Liverpool makeover when I wore a much more expensive one). It obviously pays to have decent hair and it will hopefully make a huge change to how I feel when I eventually do get a chance to dress. Just trying to find ones that I like, that i think will suit me and not cost an arm and a leg. I was advised not to do blonde so I'm looking at softer browns or darker blondes etc. I may try a dark chocolate or black style but I'm not sure I'm quite feeling a decisively black hairstyle at the moment.

The wife is still not onside with my dressing, her last comment on the subject was that I'm 'weird' . Oh well, I doubt it will improve so keeping things separate in future is how it will have to be!

Other than that, not doing too bad. I have had the odd chats on Reddit with other CDs which has been interesting at times. I'm not sure I'd be as open as one or two have been to me when speaking to a complete stranger 🫤. Definitely each to their own!

Had a few opportunities for Emma time recently, but will be put on back burner as Easter holidays loom…

Not able to tell my daughters-that feels like some long postings to share the experience and how you both came to be in a position to tell, would be interesting

Funny enough both myself and Chelle said the same thing last night. We both ok very little dressing time for Rachel as been looking after Chelle’s dad who not been well. Also her second daughter has found out about Rachel so trying to sort that out as well. But other than that we well
