And she's back!

Macbook in one piece, luggage up three flights of stairs and the wifi code. Finally made it back to Paris. It does suck having to get up and run round like a moron on New Year's Day, but alongside the whole 'waking up in England, sleeping in Paris' excitement, I also get today to chill, relax, sleep and unpack before the rush of Paris life and hassles of au-pairing hit me with a full blow tomorrow. I CAN'T WAIT.

My holidays were AMAZING. I had the best Christmas and New Year's ever. :D I have returned with one of my suitcases loaded with Domestos, Anti-Bacterial spray, Disinfectant and room freshener. Hit me with your best shot! I've also arrived with rations of Cadbury's Highlights Chocolate, an aisle of Boots (in the form of Rimmel concealer sticks and face powder) and a brand new laptop - my old one finally gave in. So slowly getting used to the whole 'Macbook' way of life, despite the caps-lock key doing the opposite of what I want it to do! So forgive me for any punctuation errors!

I've been trying to find one photo to represent my whole holiday, but I've done so many different things and seen so many people, I just can't seem to find ONE. So click at the bottom link for photos of my very Happy Christmas and an Amazing start to the New Year! :)

In other news... I returned to Paris to a very clean and empty house! A very lovely surprise. I was correct in assuming they hadn't yet arrived back from Switzerland, as I woke up VERY late this morning to discover a radical change to MESS. The good thing is that they only have TODAY to make a mess before school tomorrow. I was expecting more like a week's worth of mess on arrival. Also to my delight in the Christmas holidays, I discovered I'd been 'papped' from Paris Fashion Week those many months ago in October, with my photos on a fashion blog! I feel very chuffed about this achievement, and already planning outfits for the Paris Fashion Week in Spring. :D

I think my resolutions for my time in Paris are to :
1. Stay sane, keep calm
2. Speak French fluently.
3. Attempt to save money. (until the next spontaneous designer splurge...)


Music: Magic - B.o.B (My New Year song!)
Weather: Bluey skies - brighter than England :D
Mood: About to destress with a Twilight film (Eclipse)


Anyway, PHOTOS PHOTOS PHOTOS! :)

Just finished putting up the Christmas Tree at Rosie's!

Reunited with my petite chien <3

 

Christmas Eve: Discvering my underlying talent for icing cakes! 

Sharing our Christmas Sprit (and cakes!) with the neighbours on Christmas morning

My new baby! HE'S CALLED MAX. (Note nice pristine NOT-CRACKED screen. I plan to keep it this way!)

I've said it once, I'll say it again - Elle est trop mignonne! 

Getting ready for our New Year's Party

Dress = Paris :)

I LOVE this photo. Always wanted to do it because everyone does it. And now I HAVE TOO!

And this is another favourite. Bringing in the New Year - may it be as adventurous and successful as the last (and then some)!

The process of unpacking...
