Girlie Christmas Supper

Morning!  I'm bright and cheery this beautiful Sunday morning.  Not a hangover in sight.  I've been trying to find my Christmas carols CD but it's disappeared.  Feeling festive!!!

Last night was a real success.  In previous years we have been to the Wine Bar for Girlie Christmas Supper but this year - after changing the venue three times - we went the the White Hart (otherwise known as the Wine and Sausage).  It was a good choice.  Nice atmosphere, good service, lovely wine and delicious food.

There were eight of us and most of us were on good form and entering into the Christmas spirit.  Sarah coped well even though she is suffering from a bad back and was drugged up so that she could actually come.

We had great fun opening our Secret Santa presents and then when everyone had opened them each trying to guess who had bought ours.  I got a lovely bracelet from Coast so I'm very happy.  Paola also bought a game for us to play which was lots of fun.  The couple on the next table probably didn't appreciate how loud we were but hey it's Christmas!!!

Anyway, I wore dress number one.  Brave for me because it's quite short but actually I felt really comfortable in it.  So here's the evidence:

A Quiet Week

I've not posted for a week because it's been a pretty quiet week, as in I've not got dressed up to go out anywhere special in the last week.  Sometimes life's just like that I guess.  Instead of dressing up I've been out running.  I did seventeen miles last week and stuck to my diet.  Yesterday was my diet day off as I took my children to London -  shopping for their Christmas presents.

So the only new clothes I've had in the last week is a fluorescent yellow running jacket, new running tights and gloves.  I would post a picture but I think it's better that I save you from such a sight.  But rest safe in the knowledge that I can now be seen by passing motorists. 

I'm trying to have a better beauty routine.  Under instruction from my gorgeous hairdresser - Simon - I am deep conditioning my hair twice a week.  I'm also exfoliating twice a week and using a face pack once a week.  Since the Neal's Yard party I have been using a toner.  I always use eye cream and moisturiser. Hopefully my skin and hair will benefit.

This week I've got a couple of outings coming up.  On Friday we are off to the Races again.  On Saturday we are going out for our Girlie Christmas Supper and Secret Santa.  I have no idea what to wear on Saturday.  I'm going to try to have a search through my wardrobe tomorrow.  I don't really have a sparkly going out top.  I think quite a few of the girls will wear dresses.  I'm not sure what to do.  I will search out a few alternatives and let you know.

Oh here is a picture of one of the tops I bought from Oasis a week or two ago.  I really like it.  It looks better on. I'm sure I will be going out in it soon.
