Frump to Fab 2021

maman

It's a straight skirt chanie, so extra fabric isn't the same problem you might have with gathers. I'm just thinking that loose might be better in hot weather. I'm thinking perhaps I could either take in the waistband or it won't matter as I'm unlikely to wear tops tucked in.

I'm still hoping for a sunshine holiday but probably won't happen. ☹️ The last holiday we booked was a short break in Belfast for March 2020. Fortunately we got a full refund. Unfortunately I won't rebook because of the current political situation. Losing tourism is just another issue they have to contend with in NI.

Snow day

i can’t believe I woke up to snow this morning, as we’ve had such nice weather recently.    It’s only just stopped snowing, but luckily, it hasn’t settled.

I didn't realise snow was forecast so far south. My friend, near Camberley, posted me a photo earlier with loads of snow in her garden. Nothing here though, dry and quite mild. 😊

The good news is that I rang my hairdresser earlier and she's fitted me in for 5.30 p.m. tonight!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 The trouble is that I've got quite used to it being longer. I think I'll just have it tidied up at the front and cut into my neck at the back. Highlights can wait for another day.

maman woohoo for getting a hairdressers appointment.   I’m going to pop out at 5pm to see if I can get a wax, otherwise I’ll just get an appointment scheduled.

I am glad that there was no snow in my part of South London. It is cold and sunny today where I live.

Hello Ladies,

The high street looks so much better today with lots of retailers now able to reopen.   I took the bag of items and the bag of books I had read to a local charity shop in Camberwell Green today.

We had a trip to Plymouth.  It was lovely and we sat outside a restaurant we know and had something to eat, didn't do much shopping but it was nice to be out.  Barbers had long queues and there are quite a few of them, charity shops also had queues, Primark had the longest queue.  Everywhere else seemed OK.  It did start to rain before we left but it was a nice outing.

That is good that you got a hair appointment that quickly Maman. I've got mine next Friday.

I don't know if we had any snow here as I slept in really late as my husband starts nights tonight. I'm not sure if I will go to the charity shops this week as I had forgotten about that. I just went for a walk and it does seem busier on the roads. I wore my blue coat but it's too warm for it.

I'm going to use my foot spa tonight and use foot balm afterwards. I think I will do an aromatherapy face steam too as my sinuses are playing up again.

I’ve not long got back from my walk in waxing appointment.  I had my legs and underarms waxed and eyebrows threaded.  It’s been so long and if feels good. I can finally bear my legs now.

Three cheers for all the beauticians and hairdressers who've worked their socks off today. 😁 I'm really pleased with my hair and sounds like you're feeling more human too chanie. 😁

You did well to get out and have lunch as well pixie. I'm not going to rush into town to queue around the block for Primark. 🤣 DH had an appointment in the city centre today and he said it was madly busy everywhere.
