Resolution (10/11)
My NY resolution this year is to try and make time to spruce myself up a bit - I've spent most of the last 6 years in maternity clothes, wearing deeply unsexy (but very comfy) underwear, make up only on high days and holidays, and with my hair scraped back in a pony tail so It's out of range from snot / possets etc. Now that my offspring are all a bit older and I'm back at work 4 days a week I want to claw back a tiny bit of my identity that isn't just mummy, so my aims for this year are
a) get my hair cut at least 3 times (unlike the once last year and several dodgy DIY fringe trims)
b) buy some nice underwear
c) paint my nails
d) get out of the house with make up on at least twice a week
So far I've done a and b, and am managing more than twice a week for d. I've dragged out my make up box which had been relegated to under the bed and have had a good old rummage through it and found my lovely posh red lippy bought by my H last year and enjoyed wearingit again.
