The Joy of Doing Nothing

  As I mentioned in my post on Monday, we've been hit by the inevitable end-of-winter illness the last couple of weeks. First poor Freddie was ill with a nasty viral sick bug, which led on to ...

  • Happy Friday! This week has zoomed by and was massively perked up by a the unexpected return of my Filofax/planner yesterday that I had left on the train a couple of weeks ago! Barrister Clive had found it, and then got his secretary to package it up and post back to me. I didn’t think I’d see it again, and now my faith in humanity is restored ☺️ I’m sure he found my family meal plans riveting 🤓 looking forward to twin baby cuddles this morning, and then getting Sasha packed for going to Rainbows camp tomorrow 🌈 . . . . . #homesandinteriors #howyouhome #pocketofmyhome #interiors #interiorstyling #apartmenttherapy #myhometrend #cornersofmyhome #myhousebesutiful #interiordesign #designsponge #instahome #interiorsinsp #currentdesignsituation #mykitchen #myeclecticmix #interiorwarrior #atmine #realinstahome #interior4all #nesttoimpress #myhyggehome #myhomevibe #shakercabinets #kitchendecor #kitchendesign #kitchenremodel #styleithappy #myinteriorvibe
  • Already fantasising about climbing into here later after being up for 2 hours in the night with Arlo 😴😩 will be needing coffee on intravenous drip at work today ☕️ nights like last night are an effective contraception in case I ever decide to get broody again 😂 . . . . . #homesandinteriors #howyouhome #pocketofmyhome #interiors #interiorstyling #apartmenttherapy #myhometrend #cornersofmyhome #interiormilk #interiordesign #designsponge #instahome #interiorsinsp #currentdesignsituation #howiboho #myeclecticmix #interiorwarrior #atmine #realinstahome #interior4all #nesttoimpress #myhyggehome #myhomevibe #interiormagisinet #ikeashelves #bedroomdecor #greybedroom #styleithappy #myinteriorvibe
  • Back from parents evening for the big two with glowing reports 🤓 although reading through Freddie’s English book where he had to create a persuasive poster for a fictional museum and one of his hooks to entice people to said museum was “Are you bored of Brexit?” 😂 Yes, son, are think we are all VERY bored now 🙋🏼‍♀️ #brexitwoes #brexit #outofthemouthsofbabes . . . . . #ootd #wiwn #dresslikeamum #mumsy #mumstyle #wiwt #whatimwearing #next #fashionmum #mumlife #simplybe #topshop #selfie #manrepeller
  • Ah, Monday, we meet again 🤨after spending last week seemingly barking commands at husband/children/colleagues whilst I kept many plates spinning, I’m going to try and be more ‘zen’ this week... not sure how easy that will be though after only 4 hours sleep last night because of an under-the-weather Arlo, you’ll have to excuse me whilst I peel my eyeballs off the pillow 😴 a feel a LOT of coffee may be consumed today! . . . . . #homesandinteriors #howyouhome #pocketofmyhome #mondayvibes #interiorstyling #apartmenttherapy #spinningplates #cornersofmyhome #greybathroom #interiordesign #designsponge #instahome #interiorsinsp #thejuggleisreal #howiboho #myeclecticmix #interiorwarrior #atmine #realinstahome #interior4all #nesttoimpress #myhyggehome #myhomevibe #interiormagisinet #bathroomdesign #plantgang #bathroomdecor #styleithappy #myinteriorvibe
  • Morning! 👋🏻 bit of a mixed bag here this Sunday- poor Arlo has a stinking cold so feeling a bit sorry for himself, Freddie is stiff as a board after his cross country yesterday so his football match this morning probably won’t be fun for him, and Sasha is still seething at the toddler for massacring her squishie collection yesterday (see my stories!) 😑 still, I’m feeling fairly bright and breezy as my early night did me the world of good 💪🏻 not sure the same could be said for Mr Freeman, who was out last night and still in bed, and by the smell of booze seeping from every pore, I fear he will be in a world of self-inflicted pain today 🙈which is bad for him, because I have to do a rare few hours work this afternoon so he will be in charge of all three ankle biters 😆 but first, pancakes! 🥞have a great Sunday folks . . . . . #homesandinteriors #howyouhome #pocketofmyhome #interiors #interiorstyling #apartmenttherapy #myhometrend #cornersofmyhome #kitchenstools #interiordesign #designsponge #instahome #interiorsinsp #currentdesignsituation #howiboho #subwaytiles #interiorwarrior #atmine #realinstahome #interiormilk #nesttoimpress #myhyggehome #myhomevibe #interiormagisinet #kitchendecor #kitchenaid #kitchenremodel #styleithappy #myinteriorvibe
  • This showed up on my time hop from a year ago today, featuring offspring number 3, and I can’t believe how much he’s grown and how much hair he has now 😱 Feeling knackered after a busy day and rather than staying up and binge-watching Netflix (Husband is out for the evening), think I’m going to hit the hay with my book 😴 rock n roll Saturday night right here! Oh, and Freddie came 32 out of 400 boys today in his big cross country shindig, mega proud of him as doesn’t cross country just look so painful to watch?! I feel every second of the run and memories of being a kid and competing come screaming back to me 😂 the start of the race was insane and exactly like the Grand National, with several fallers in the first burst, poor lambs 😬 what is everyone watching/reading at the moment? Always love to hear a recommendation, TV especially seems a little stale right now! . . . . . #babyroomdecor #howyouhome #pocketofmyhome #interiors #interiorstyling #apartmenttherapy #myhometrend #cornersofmyhome #myhousebesutiful #interiordesign #designsponge #instahome #interiorsinsp #saturdaynight #saturdayvibes #nurseryinspo #interiorwarrior #atmine #realinstahome #interior4all #scandinavianliving #myhyggehome #myhomevibe #interiormagisinet #nurserydecor #scandinavianstyle #nursery #styleithappy #myinteriorvibe
  • Good morning! 👋🏻 up bright and early this morning as Freddie has the London Borough of Bromley schools cross country championships in Crystal Palace this morning- rather him than me that’s for sure 😂 I will probably be crazed, cheering mum on the side and that’s fine by me! Hoping for a chilled one the rest of the day 🙌🏻 ps spot the iron in the corner 👀🤦🏼‍♀️ there’s always something messing up a shot! . . . . . #homesandinteriors #howyouhome #pocketofmyhome #interiors #interiorstyling #scandiliving #smegfridge #myhometrend #cornersofmyhome #myhousebesutiful #interiordesign #designsponge #instahome #interiorsinsp #saturdayvibes #kitchenremodel #shelfie #interiorwarrior #openshelves #realinstahome #interior4all #nesttoimpress #myhyggehome #myhomevibe #interiormagisinet #homedeco #kitchendesign
