So many gorgeous shop windows to gaze into on my way to and from work now, but no time or money to spend in them. But that may just be a secret blessing in disguise!!

When giving up chocolate or starting a new diet a focus or goal is a must! A close friends special black and white themed birthday party is mine. I have the accessories now all I need is the motivation to lose 5lbs to fit in that perfect little black dress.

Ive just remembered that not only is today pancake day but tomorrow is the first day of lent. I have a friend who every year gives up chocolate for lent, and last year I did too. Maybe today I can use it as an excuse for finishing off all the chocolate left over from Christmas, or would that be just naughty?

My first day working in the big city and I am shattered! Starting a new job is always hard going. Im hoping it will only get easier and I quickly feel at home....?

A collection of gorgeous and very special Lola Rose bracelets. Or is it? Can you spot the clever imposter........

We're never too old for a balloon or two!!

The last two days have been so busy hence the absence of blog entries, but what a pleasure they have been. A fabulously decorated desk for my last couple of days at work, and a very successful tea party which put a smile on many a face. Coffee with friends and a gorgeous afternoon cream tea with a very special friend and her beautiful, fun, daughters.

Now to make up for a missed post yesterday I will attempt a double posting... It was my last Friday in the office and things seem to be getting done. My desk draws are slowly emptying, the files are finding new homes, my emails gradually clearing. I cling on to my trinkets though as while Im there I cant bare to lose the familiarity. Only two more days!

While at home all is calm and stays frozen in time, quite literally. The back garden remains untouched since the weekend's snowfall.

No rants today. My energies are being positively thrown into organising myself a leaving tea party for my penultimate day at work; think cucumber sandwiches and cupcakes galore!! Do join us if you are passing x

I feel a little blue today so I'm going to have a rant. "I'm so over wellies". Ah, that's better. I hope you're all having a good Tuesday?

The snow fell quite heavily on Norfolk this weekend and all I wanted to do was curl up with a cup of tea and watch it fall from the warmth and safety of our living room...

It's my penultimate Friday with my current employer. My thoughts turn to the friends I have made and the trinkets I have gathered over the years to make my desk seem a better place on those tough days we all know we have. These paper clips have never been used. A present from my favourite 4 year old and my best friends daughter they will definately be coming with me to my new job. I love them! x

Not the best looking plant but definately the best looking frost!

The frosty weather is back, and so are the winter woolies...
