- Waking up after very little sleep. If you caught my Instagram Story on Friday evening, you’ll know Izzy had a few friends over to celebrate her birthday. They were good as gold, but I don’t think they fell asleep until almost 2am.
- Fixing breakfast for everyone. Warm croissants, nutella and fresh orange juice.
- Grabbing a quick shower.
- Pulling on skinny jeans and my favourite Delores Daywear tee.
- Listening to the girls giggle and chat as they applied their makeup and did each other’s hair.
- Finally fighting my way into the bathroom to apply my own makeup.
- Seeing the girls off when their parents arrived to pick them up.
- Clearing up the last of the post-party debris.
- Settling in for a lazy day on the sofa.
- Watching Mean Girls with Izzy while Jesse and Mr L.A. popped out for some fresh air.
- Eating a big bowl of cheesy Marmite pasta for lunch.
- Running myself a bubble bath while the others played Pokemon.
- Stealing a little of Izzy’s Unicorn Horn.
- Slathering on Rosie Cheeks Fresh Face Mask. It smelt incredible and my skin felt amazing afterwards.
- Slipping into my PJs.
- Meal planning and ordering the weekly shop online.
- Sorting laundry and hanging up wet washing.
- Making a quick kidney bean curry for dinner.I’m still obsessed with Meera Sodha and cooking almost exclusively from her two books, Made in India* and Fresh India*.
- Eating leftover birthday cake. Izzy requested Nigella’s Chocolate Malteser Cake for the second year in a row.
- Putting the children to bed nice and early.
- Watching two episodes of Sneaky Pete on Amazon Prime. I’m loving this series.

- Reading I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings* until I couldn’t keep my eyes open.
- Waking up when our Ocado delivery arrived.
- Wishing I’d booked a later delivery.
- Unpacking groceries and drinking tea.
- Lounging on the sofa for a while.
- Tucking into a small plate of scrambled eggs.

- Sending Izzy off to school. She’s performing in her first high school production and she had a gruelling day of dress rehearsals to get through.
- Riding the bus into town.
- Strolling through the Bear Pit towards Stokes Croft.
- Stopping to photograph all sorts of street art.
- Meeting my friend Joanna for brunch at Ceres.
- Enjoying the fabulous company and the delicious food. I will definitely head back with Mr L.A. and the kids. {Despite the fact the music was a little loud for my taste. I am aware this makes me sound like an old lady.}
- Nipping into a few shops on my way to the bus stop.
- Picking up a huge 700ml bottle of my favourite micellar water.
- Slipping a Zoella Lazy Days Reed Diffuser into my basket too. I’m pretty hooked on the scent and the price point is just right. I’ll be stocking up on the matching candle again soon.
- Resisting the urge to purchase this cute top.
- Daydreaming about dressing for warmer weather. Roll on spring!
- Avoiding any and all book shops in order to preserve the contents of my wallet.
- Heading home.
- Drinking tea and resting on the sofa.
- Cooking {another} curry for dinner.
- Running Jesse a bath.
- Tapping away at my laptop.
- Trying to mentally prepare for the busy week ahead.
