No-Mans Land

I always feel like the time between Christmas and New Year is kinda like a

 No-mans land. A waiting game almost, where you eagerly await that fresh start with renewed enthusiasm, where you ponder all your previous years doings and think this next year will be the best yet. I guess its the given time for reflection, the week between festivities. But for me, it normally consists of wearing lots of pyjamas and not a scrap of make-up, eating all the leftover Christmas/party food/sweets/choccies/biscuits till i feel sick and generally being a lazy bum.

I guess its my true time off from life once a year. Are you active this time of year or like me? Give yourself a bit of a mental retreat from life?

I've been thinking about 2012, as we all do around now, and it has been an oddball of a year. We've had ups and downs and ins and outs. Toughie months and plane sailing. There's been tears and stress and laughter and relief. It's been a bit of a strange one, not good and not bad. Maybe just so.

I guess i want to make more special memories in 2013. I want my son to grow up with wonderful memories of his childhood and it is down to me to instil that. 

I guess going fourth i'm going to make 2013 count... Be productive.  Do more. Be Happy

And obviously lose 12lbs, re decorate my house and win the lottery.. d'uh. ;-)

Not Seeing The Wood For The Trees

Happy Friday Folks,
Well i have nothing much to say today other than the usual, WOOHOOO its the weekend, bring on the food, heeheehee.

I wore this outfit to work on Tuesday, i think... 

I was only saying to Paul today how the days seem to be flying by at a ridiculous rate lately. Sometimes my head is so buried amongst accounts, payment dates and forward date planning for bill payments that i forget to actually register what the day is and to make the most of it. Kinda like not seeing the wood for the trees, my heads in the books looking for the end result that i cant see what's right in front of me, which in this case was actually some very beautiful woodlands :)

 Its been really refreshing just taking a break for a change and seeing the world, the trees are turning some beautiful shades lately and i can't help but look up!

Having said that, today we are having the worst torrential rain i have seen in a long time, which is just no fun :-(

Dress & Bag: New Look

Blazer: George @Asda

Brooch: Vintage

Boots: Tesco

 I bought this dress weeks and weeks ago and it just hung there, looking at me and for some reason i just didn't really feel much in the mood to wear it, i have no idea why! Its purple shade and swallow print are so pretty, and green tights are my new favourite!
Out of all my outfits Hubs actually LIKED this one... i know! That's gotta mean I'm doing something right (on the wife front at least!haha!)

So i will bid you farewell, and wish you a wonderful weekend ladies! 

Hope it's a productive fabulous one!
