Approaching 40...

 

At the start of the year - I thought this is the year I'll be 40 and it didn't bother me, or so I thought...

Intinally I thought big party - yay!! But then I started to to think, I started to take stock of where I was (metaphorically) and actually I wasn't as happy I thought and...in different ways than I'd ever have expected.

There fore in the last month I have topped up my Botox, filled in the (smokers - that's the actual known name whether you smoked or not - dad!) lines and in 2 days time I get my hair highlighted and in 4 days get new (actually some) boobs. So for someone who thought they were pretty much ok with their lot when I sat and took the time to think - actaully I wasn't quite so.

I have also had another tattoo (and planning a new one to be unveiled in the summer), thought about my 'professional' future, made new friends, startd to draw again but mostly and rather selfishly I've done stuff for myself (which isn't a bad thing, it's not really selfish and sometimes it's just what we need to do).

Running out the house...

 

As do most people, I tend to rush around in the morning (scream, shout and cajole furry and non-furry things). There for my appearance generally gets a quick glance as I run through (remembering to open it) the front door, which is why I have placed mirrors (obviously helpful to glance in to...) but also a wee selection of jewels. These are there either to enhance an outfit or on occasion detract from it!

Buying Time...

As summer holidays go this is looking like it could be great! Perfect weather, perfect (dare I say it) child (give or take a certain amount of tolerance) and a combined love of charity shops (Mushroom & I). Namely the RSPCA in Stoke Newington as it has a vintage coin machine  - every time you 'feed' a cat a coin (I'm collecting 2 pence coins...) it chimes (buys me time!)...

Pantsuit - Factory Outlet (Mare St), 

Belly Dancers Belt (shorten to make it a waist belt) - RSPCA (Clapton)
