I suspect I am not the only busy mum to constantly joke about forgetting her own name. Lack of sleep and/or dizzy delirium gets the blame, but I have found the most stylish solution. Tatty Devine’s name necklace will certainly be going on the Christmas list after seeing my friend’s bespoke creation by the Perspex jewellers. The item in mind being a pre-wedding accessory, it was needed at very short notice. Cue frantic emails begging Tatty Devine to complete the party piece in record time. As a result, the company happily pulled out all the stops for the lovely Mrs C-to-be. To our delight, it arrived at super speed – that’s my kind of service. Having noted they do a Christmas name necklace this will definitely be requested from Santa, glitter and all.
On the subject of shopping and sparkle, Lyla and I hit the town last weekend to sample this season’s party numbers. Cue me pulling on a sequinned body-con and questioning the fit. After sighing out loud that it was no good, I was met with that special 3 year old favourite… “Why?” Explaining in hushed tones that I had a bit of a ‘Mummy tummy’, the loud reply was “aah yes, I have a Lyla tummy. But it’s DEFINITELY not as big as your’s”. Perhaps time to make the most of StyleNest’s Yummie tummie exclusive discount offer with the fabulous online boutique The Dressing Room then. There is nothing a bit of snazzy shapewear can’t fix.
This and my new 3 mile school run walking regime will almost certainly ensure the Christmas party dress is a holiday hit.
Following said pushchair aerobics yesterday morning, I had to take the rubbish out. Armed with that in one hand and washing for the tumble dryer in the other, I returned to the house slightly smug that it was only 8.45am and two jobs were ticked off the list. This was before noticing the black bin bag still about my person. I doubt even a designer necklace could avert the attention of my neighbours witnessing me dangling head first into a wheelie bin.
