Well I had big baby group plans for this morning which were ruined by that pesky twin Matilda who decided to wake us all up at 5.30am, I mean really, Tilly, this is the middle of the night! I was exhausted by the time she re-woke and Jonny got up with them whilst I slept and I woke up too late and feeling too rubbish to go out. I was really disappointed as I have not seen the girls for a while with one thing and another.
I decided there was one thing to make me feel better and put on my Mickey Mouse t-shirt! Mickey is sure to make you smile! I got this in Disney World when we were on Honeymoon. I wore it with my Matalan jeans, Primark trainers and a hoodie as we were going for a nice walk this afternoon with my friend Natalie. We had a lovely walk around the University grounds, pushing 4 kids up all those hills was sure to burn off the tea and scone we had in the cafe!
Today was the first of Jonny's two rest days and we have spent the day considering something very exciting...I wont post what it is as yet on here as we have a long way to go from here but watch this space...no, I'm not pregnant ha,ha!
As I now have the security tag removed from my lovely new jeans I thought i'd wear them. Really, they are far more suited to spring and they didn't really look right with any of my winter shoes but I wanted to wear them anyway! I wore them with my cream chunky Fat Face jumper and a plain white Gap t-shirt. I also wore some brown brogues from Matalan and my Primark pearls.
Not much has been happening in our world in the past couple of days, we have pottered around doing a few chores and hanging out with my Mum and Dad. Today my Mum and I (and the twins) went for a cuppa in a coffee shop in Breaston, CachePot? I think it's called? It was very nice.
I had to take some jeans back to Matalan this afternoon as they had the left the security tag on, how annoying. I was, however, pleased to find that they had now been reduced to half price and they gave me the difference back! They are really fab and I am looking forward to wearing them although they are more of a spring jean as they have a pale floral pattern.
Yesterday I was inspired by The Only Way is Essex as one of the girls has hair in the same style as me! She had the front of hers up and it looked really cute. I am not too sure that it worked on me though. Maybe I need a team to do my hair and make up? I wonder how I could arrange this...
I wore an old red and white striped Topshop cardigan which I love, a white t-shirt and the Matalan jeans.
Today I decided I had waited long enough for spring and, as it is clearly not going to happen in a hurry, I cracked out my new striped Boden dress. I am loving this! I ordered it in October and have been waiting weeks for it. It is a thick cotton material and I think that I will wear this time and time again. In fact, it was the dress I was waiting for to add to my 30 for 30 challenge so I'll try and work on that over the next few days.
I wore it with a yellow Boden plaited belt, a navy Gap cardigan and my Next boots which I don't know how I lived without? I am aware that I could do with a bit of a tan on my arms!
I was thrilled to see that someone had emailed me from a fashion blogging site, I have not had chance to look at it properly yet but how great to be contacted about my little blog! Check it out for yourselves... wwwoutfithive.com
We all knew that the real reason my family had visited was to make a trip to our local Ikea so we met them there this morning. (I'm only kidding, I know this isn't true really!!) Firstly we had to make a trip to the coffee shop to claim our free tea and coffee and start the day properly! I also found out that my cousin is my blogs top reader as he was up to date and knew about my blog entries in detail including where my clothes are from. I have to say I was very impressed and if there was an award for most blog knowledge he may win it!! Haha, are you embarrassed enough Neil?!
We then began the mammoth task of finding our way around. Luckily this was no problem as we visit about once a week! We wandered around and got a few bits and bobs. At the end my sister and I somehow managed to leave our trolley in the store. We had paid for the items and are convinced 'someone' said they were taking them to the car as we had the twins but they hadn't! Luckily they had been found when we phoned the store and my sister has collected them tonight.
The afternoon was more chatting and baby cuddles for me off the adorable Niamh. A lovely couple of days.
As you can see today Matilda and I dressed as twins again. I love this! I wore a striped Breton from Boden which I like as it is a bit thicker fabric and my Fat Face navy chinos. I also wore the M&S tan belt and my spotty converse.
We have spent the day with my family who are visiting and staying with my parents. Jonny, my sister, the twins and I joined my Mum and Dad, Aunt and Uncle, cousin and his wife and their three month old baby girl for the day. They are here overnight so will be re joining them in the morning. We spent a lovely day catching up and discussing/wondering/puzzling over what 'relation' we all were to each other. Obviously we know some but what are the twins to my cousin? What is their baby to the twins? It's all too confusing and I pretty much lost the train of thought after a few seconds!
I decided to team my lovely green jeans with a floral shirt for a nice spring look. However, it is clearly not spring as it is absolutely freezing! My jeans are from M&S, the shirt is a couple of years old from Fat Face and the chunky pearls and belt, which you may recognise as I wear them all the time, are from Primark and M&S.
