Trying to plan a wedding and everyone wants “a call to discuss my perfect day”. No, no, no calls - just tell me how much you’re trying to charge me!
Spending the summer working through my vinyl collection and today’s choice is bangers on bangers.
Just got very, very excited about new baskets in our flat to hold all of my candles, and yes I am in my 30s why do you ask.
People taking their shoes AND SOCKS off in the airport lounge? Stop it.
School holidays are in session! 👏 So excited for a long break and reset. Off to Bristol Pride for the weekend to celebrate.. 🌈
A very shit reason to be flying to Ireland (family funeral) but there really is nothing like seeing the coast and feeling home.
London is such a weird place. Like what do you mean I brought my kids on a trip to Hampstead Heath and while running around, one of them accidentally ran into Calvin Harris.
Lykke Li singing ‘I Follow Rivers’ was an insane party of weirdness and wonderfulness.
Taking notes from Dua about how to host a wedding because my god I need to be this glam and happy on the day. A trailblazer. 🙌
Fiancée came home at 4am from a friends birthday and has now tasked me with “ensuring he doesn’t die today” as he suffers the repercussions of his choices.
Spent a fortune today on clothes and skin care but you know what???? At least I don’t have kids to pay for so it’s FINE xx
Day 5: everyone home and I have the crispest white wine known to man in a very large glass.
Day 4: had to explain to boys that yes, you do need to shower and no, it’s not up for debate.
Day 3: absolutely fine??? no issues at all??? everyone happy??? I’ll take it.
Day 2: some ‘pranks’ that ended with dorm rooms having to be separated and a migraine from the screaming but a full nights sleep so I’ll take the win?
Day 1; an hour standstill on the M1, seventeen “can we stop for McDonald’s?”, one child throwing up, 11 children who now will not go to SLEEP.
Spending the next 5 days with our Y6 class at an activity camp on the Welsh border..
Seeing Berghain live was a religious experience, unmatched. Rosalía is one of the most incredible artists out there - chill and tears. 🥺
Visiting engagement party venues and STRESSED about all of the choices and decisions to be made.
