Going Up…
- Receiving the most amazing package in the post.
- The scent of these baking in the oven.
- Lush’s The Smell of Freedom solid perfume. I wore this today and received 3 separate compliments from strangers/people I barely know. Ironically, I kind of dismissed the new perfume range when Lush launched it at the end of last summer. I’m now well and truly smitten with this and the Orange Blossom scent.
- Managing to drink 1.5 litres of water today (plus a cup of green tea with jasmine). I’m ridiculously bad at keeping myself hydrated but Emma has inspired me to rectify this issue. I have to admit I felt so much better this afternoon and I’m sure it’s related to upping my fluids. My concentration was better and I was generally more productive.
- Jesse learning to count. So sweet! He can make it to ten but he always skips number 5. He’s also figured out his colours this week so the soundtrack to our journey to nursery consists of ‘black car, blue car, lellow car’.
- The quick bean and lettuce stew I prepared for dinner. It was delicious and quite simply the best thing I’ve cooked in ages. I will post the recipe at the first available opportunity, I think you’ll love it.
- Finishing one of my essays! I have 2 2500 word reports due next Thursday and I’m so glad I’ve manged to get one of them out of the way. It needs a little tweaking, a thorough read through and references but otherwise it’s all there on the page.
Going Down…
- Another 2500 words to go 🙁
- Grief and all that goes with it.
- Not having a clue what to wear to a work night out tomorrow. I am so useless at this because I never, ever go out. I end up in a panic because I feel boring and frumpy and usually make excuses not to go. Any outfit suggestions? We’re only going for a meal and cocktails after but there is an expectation to glam up.
- Izzy going away for the whole of half term. I know it will help me get my work done but I’m going to miss her heaps, and I expect Jesse will too.

Hi lovely, I just wanted to let you know that I cooked your chicken and peas curry 2 days ago, and while I wasn’t able to eat it due to my stomach flu, Mr was very happy with it, even though he’s having it two days in a row 🙂
Also, judging from your photos, you always manage to look polished and fabulous on your nights out! I love your taste in dresses, I’m sure you’ll find some gem in your closet this time as well 🙂 Take care x
@Rocaille Oh you poor thing, feel better soon! Glad the Mr enjoyed it, my man would vertainly never complain about having to eat curry 2 days ina row. Hope you get to taste it at some point!
Hope you’re right about the outfit! I foresee many clothing changes tomorrow night while I’m getting ready!

‘lellow is the cutest word in the world – i miss hearing that. Well done on the water, I really struggle too and it does make such a difference being hydrated. I bet it will be odd being missing a child for a whole week, but so much easier for you to crack on. Good luck with that next essay 🙂
Regarding your work night outfit, I would recommend a simple black dress or simple black top and pencil skirt with your favourite accessories and your favourite, most reliable makeup look (with red lipstick, perhaps).
Hope you enjoy the company, most importantly.
