P.S - Please forgive me if posting is a touch sporadic over the next few days. My dear little Mac Air is having a nervous breakdown that involves some very chunky cursor movement and a rather worrying green squiggly line. She needs to have some work done but I'll pass on your best wishes. Lets all hope for a speedy recovery because blogging from an iPad is making my forehead go all wrinkly.

I was a bit off last week. Shaky, sore throat. I felt awful. My mate made me the most delicious secret recipe Bulgarian chicken soup and I swear it made me better over night. Naturally I asked for the recipe and was promptly denied. Apparently her dead grandmother would haunt us both until of our days if she gave up the family recipe. Trying to avoid the wrath of a smoted Bulgarian old lady ghost, I went for a poke around to find different chicken soup recipes. I've made four lots of different soup over the last week and this is by the best recipe I've come up with.

When I went to India with World Vision last year, I bought six decomissioned Delhi metro tokens. I then sent them off to Vietnam with Mama Smaggle and she had them made into pendants as little gifts for the group that I travelled with. I love this necklace, it's so special to me and always reminds of the time I spent in beautiful North India with a wonderful group of people who became my family for those two weeks.

Image & Feature Image It was a horrible little group of inconsiderate people at the laundromat. Let me start at the beginning. A few weeks ago our lovely friends came to take back their washing machine that they’d loaned us for that past year so we’ve been using the laundromat ever since. On Sunday afternoon my mate and I met at My Beautiful Laundrette – a gorgeous vintage style laundromat Read the rest!…

I'm a touch scared of wearing colours for some reason so I have to be extra careful to include some high contrast patterns in my black, white and grey dominated wardrobe to stop myself looking like I'm contstantly in mourning. Marrimekko patterns are ideal. Beautifully designed and very versatile.

When I was a little kid, I adored sick days off from school. My brother would crankily trudge out the door and while I was tucked up on the couch with a stack of Julia Roberts movies and a box of lemonade icy poles in the freezer. I didn't even care that I felt like death warmed up. It was totally rad because everyone was doing something while I was doing nothing. Such a loser, wearing my little smug hat while I have snot all over my face. Classy.

I'm going to be honest. I have a very Type A personality so although I don't necessarily love cleaning, I do enjoy it in a sick, perfectionist kind of way. I get off on the smell of cleaning products and seeing those lines on the floor that the vacuum cleaner makes. If the vacuum cleaner lines are all facing in the same direction... well... let's just say Mr Smaggle is going to get SUPER lucky when he gets home. Shagging in a spotless house is my favourite. I digress...
