So what have I been up to in the last few weeks? Instead of sitting down and writing, I have been getting stuck into spring cleaning. All my winter gear has been stored in my closet, and my nice dresses are out ready for the summer events I’m looking forward to (like weddings/birthday parties/work Christmas parties).
Thanks to our spare room finally being cleared out (most of it going to charity) and transformed into a craft/sewing room with a mini library, there's finally enough space in our lounge for me to have my ‘office’ (I think we only ever use the dining table for eating at Christmas) and for my partner to practise his guitar playing (he always leaves his acoustic in the bedroom to play at 11pm while I’m trying to sleep).
I also threw away my tacky souvenir cups and bought some pop art mugs to go with my pop art inspired ‘first kiss’ duvet cover. Cute right?
Now I’m just packing all my clothes and shoes that I don’t need (but were too expensive to give away to charity) for the Big Shwop at Langham Hotel on Saturday. I’m hoping I can get some more summer dresses and shoes but I’m scared at how I will fare against other wine-fuelled female shoppers (is it still a faux pas to elbow fellow shoppers in the face?). If the show this afternoon goes well maybe I’ll have to buy a ticket for tomorrow night’s Herald Designer Sale- even if I don’t buy anything it’ll be worth the experience!
