Thurs 21 Feb
Decided to celebrate my soon-to-be-very-buff-indeed new body with a little light shopping. Bought an entire summer wardrobe one size smaller than currently fits.
Picked out a few sexy yet caring pieces for the parents evening tonight. I think the Prada skirt was just right, waisted (very this season) but slightly prim of hemline. And the v-neck cardigan looks great a bit too tight. Spent absolutely ages with Sam’s Mr Linley, doing my Princess Di lowered eyelashes bit when he asked where Mr M was, and I explained how terribly busy he is, but how I always made the boys my absolute priority. Unfortunately ran out of time to see Tom’s teacher.
Panicked a bit about the Harvey Nicks bill when I got home. Will present it to Mr M as a sort of bonus present; new me + new wardrobe = jealous colleagues when we go to the summer opera gala.
