• Dozing in bed with Jesse until the sun came up.
• Creeping downstairs for a cup of tea.
• Snuggling beneath a blanket on the sofa.
• Waiting for Izzy to emerge. She’s definitely mastered the art of sleeping in at weekends. We just need Jess to follow suit!

• Braving the rain and heading into town.
• Popping to a few shops.
• Buying myself a copy of  Jane Eyre to re-read.
• Helping Izzy spend some of her Christmas money in Claire’s Accessories. The choker pictured above could be considered her first self-funded fashion statement. Hands up if you wore something similar as a teen, I know I did!
