Going up…

• Twitter. I’ve been made to feel so welcome and I get why everyone seems to love it so much. If you haven’t stopped by to say hi yet I’m over here.
• Eating proper hippy food for dinner. I cooked dahl with spinach in the slow cooker and served it with brown rice and naan bread. It was delicious, the lentils really filled me up and the children devoured their platefuls too.
• Reading ‘The Great Gatsby’. I’m a little bit in love with F Scott Fitzgeralds’s books at the moment. They transport me to the 1920s and make me crave champagne cocktails.
• Bergen bread. I think it was LissyLou that recommended this scrumptious soya and linseed loaf to me ages ago. It’s the best shop bought bread I’ve eaten in ages (and only £1 in Asda!).
• How beautifully my make-up applies the week after a facial. My skin looked perfect today. Which of course it is not.
• Watching Fawlty Towers. Mr LA and I aspire to be like Basil and Cybil one day. He always calls me his ‘little nest of vipers’. I know it means he loves me.
• Being complimented on my red dress from Topshop. I really must snap some picks of it, potentially my best purchase of Spring/Summer 2011.

Going down…

• Jesse still wasn’t 100% well this morning so we decided to keep him off nursery. I can’t stand it when my little ones are ill, you feel so helpless.
• 2 5000 word essays hanging over me. I need to have them finished by the 21st when the children will be off school/nursery for Easter. Wish me luck.
• Despite doing load after load after load of washing this weekend the laundry basket still isn’t empty.
• The prospect of Mr. LA being away on another shoot this weekend.
• I’m not loving my new hair colour at all. I wanted to loose the red and the hairdresser did tell me I’d have to go quite dark to cover it but I’m really not convinced by the end result. Can’t help feeling a little… well, ‘goth’. Even after a week of almost constant washing and willing it to fade I’m really missing my red locks *sigh*
