January Diaries: Jacqueline from 'Home' Guest Post

Hello 2012!! Good morning, good day, good new year! I have asked some friends to write guest posts for me to commemorate two years of my little blog. All I asked for was a day in their life; a record of what they are doing. Here, Jacqueline from 'Home' starts off with her New Years Day commentary. As ever, it's her slightly irreverent, tongue-in-cheek loveliness that I enjoy. So many times she has dropped by to leave me words of wisdom; I value her judgement and her priceless, positive attitude to life. A girl whose glass is definitely half full...thank you very much!!


DEAR DIARY...

JANUARY 1st 2012

8:49am ......AWOKE FEELING RATHER DELICATE AFTER BEING FORCED TO DRINK COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF ALCOHOL AT A NEW YEARS EVE FAMILY WEDDING!

MUST GET UP SOON AS THERE IS SO MUCH TO BE DONE.
WILL JUST CLOSE MY EYES FOR 5 MINUTES....




10:27am ......LEG IS KILLING ME......PROBABLY DUE TO ME DOING THE SPLITS TO THE ACCOMPANIMENT OF 'OOPS UPSIDE YOUR HEAD' !!




11:03am......



12:07am ...... I REALLY MUST GET UP......THERE ARE SOME CUPBOARDS THAT NEED SORTING......


13:23pm ...... DINNER HAS TO BE ORGANISED......


14:57pm ......THE LOUNGE COULD DO WITH A BIT OF A TIDY......

  15. This was fantastic! That first one was so me! I was in my jammies until about 10 min ago. It was Heaven so I'm still not sure why I bothered to get out of them!

    Congrats on your blogging anniversary and Happy New Year!

  19. Jackie - You.Are.Awesome. Especially loved the splits whilst doing "Oops up side your head". What an exhausting start to the New Year. I trust you are now firmly ensconced in bubble bath, champers in hand surrounded by tea lights recuperating from your efforts. God bless your cotton socks. Meredy xo
