the inbetween

I love the days inbetween Christmas and New Year. Everything slows down, emphasised by the manic of Pre-Festivity organisation.
The days lend themselves perfectly to spending time with family and exploring new belongings. Yesterday was a perfect example...a quiet morning of nail painting and reading, a drive with Mum, a peaceful evening and two games of scrabble (I am yet to win a game)

This is an appalling photo, but it shows (kind of) the cardigan I got from New Look

Oh hello beaten up hands.

Today is shopping day...Park Street; Cath Kidston Sale, YES PLEASE
and Ikea...not so thrilled!

How do you spend the inbetween days?

I have to admit, even though I have to go to work for 3 days of this week, I think I'm going to love these inbetween days too. Everything feels less hectic, and everyone is still in a nice holiday mood :)

Love that notebook :) I usually spend them infront of the tv, gorging on whatevers in the kitchen cupboards!! xx

Helen said...

Beautiful outfit!

Haha, a bit like you actually, just relaxing and reading and shopping a bit. Can't wait to catch some sales too, although I did grab a few amazing bargains from H&M on the second day of Christmas. Plus I'm spending quite some time at the cinema.

I love the inbetween days too. I work retail, and the store is always very busy/crazy. I love that I'm never bored at work. :)
Have a happy new year.


LOVE!

I braved a few of the sales (Boots and Marks and Spencer), but left once I got what I wanted! I don’t have a Cath Kidston nearby, I sooo wish I did xx

Lucy said...

I love that pad - "I WILL get some stuff done!!" haha :)

Tanya (a Taste of T) said...

I'm thinking about doing a little shopping myself. I need a New Years dress of sorts. You're so brave for going to IKEA.

Andrea said...

I love these days too, and I am really slowing down this week - leaving for work late and leaving work early! LOL

Happy Xmas, Laura!
I've been getting up at 4am for the last two days, bloody jetlag so the days have been spent in a frenzy of spring cleaning and decluttering ready for our party on New Year's Eve. xxx

I spent them relaxing and watching loads of films (and some Misfits!) ^_^. Nails have needed to be done for weeks. I need one of those mini goals books too.-Becky
