domesticated

Outfit: Primark skirt, New Look jumper.

After the success of the cake at work yesterday, I came home when I finished at 1pm and popped a malt loaf in the bread machine and prepared a lentil cottage pie for dinner as my Grandad came round to dine with me. Something about having the house to myself this week has turned me in to a wannabe domestic goddess…I’m even enjoying the odd bit of housework…
will it last? Well, that remains to be seen…I’m messy by nature so this is all very novel!

Off for two full days at work now, which I don’t do often with my new hours. They are my dream days though with a phlebotomy clinic in the morning and reception in the afternoon…for a few weeks I was finding work hard going, but after making a few positive changes in my life my enthusiasm and motivation seems to have come back by the bucket-load!

Happy Thursday folks, almost at the weekend!

  10. you’ve really inspired me to make my own malt loaf! I love it but I’ve only ever had shop bought stuff – I’ll be popping out for malt extract later xx
