Lately....

• I've been turning my hand to DIY. Basically I have just been using superglue to fix all the odd jobs that need doing round my flat. I feel like this is going to blow up in my face at some point.
• I went completely gaga over my good friend's beautiful brand new baby boy. There was lots of cuddling, sighing and clucking. Three back to back episodes of One Born Every Minute soon knocked that out of me.
• I've been reading Wuthering Heights and have surprised myself with how much I'm enjoying it. Those sort of classics have never really been my thing but I am loving how dark the characters are and have been finding myself looking forward to going to bed at night to see what happens next.
• And we've been celebrating over here the fact that the kid seems to have got this potty training malarkey down. Feeling a lot more Kirstie Allsopp than Kerry Katona in the parenting stakes right about now. If I could just get her to eat a piece of fruit then I reckon I would have this shizz down.
• I'm still strongly considering giving this YouTube channel thing a bash. Problem is 1) oh my god does the camera really add 10lbs and 2) the idea of being filmed brings me out in a nervous rash. However, if everyone else around me has to listen to an annoying Scottish accent bang on about wine and Made in Chelsea then why shouldn't you?
• Obsessed with chocolate flavoured coconut water. Helps a hangover and tastes like milkshake. What's not to love?
• I'm aware I talk about cheese a lot. I'm trying to get help. But a girls night round at mine coupled with the fact that people keep GIVING ME NICE CHEESE means that I currently have 11 different types of cheese in my fridge right now. True story. Fondue party anyone?
• Speaking of said girls night, I had all the ladies over last Saturday night for antipasti and cocktails. We made some homemade Gin Thyme Fizz cocktails, some Espresso Martinis and more Prosecco Bellini's than I care to remember. We stayed up far too late and then ate sausages in the morning. Natch.
• Bit obsessed with Foxes right now. And Haim. And Chvrches. And basically Amazon has all my money.
