Mrs Neglectful & her French attitude

Tis true. I've been rubbish at blogging of late. I'm suffering from a classic case of not enough hours in the day, no staff and too much to do. Given the options, you know where you attempt to find the solution by writing lists, ticking off to do lists and then think about your time management, I thought I was looking in the wrong place.

I have posts galore I need to finish and publish, one of which is an examination of fashion blogging, the other is a bit of a fashiongate examination of the industry. In a time when politicians, the police and the media are under the moral spotlight, I've been busying myself with a core group not dissimilar to the Murdoch clan.

However all is not lost to an intellectual minefield, I do have some fashion forecast or how to spend it for the forthcoming season in a true make do style. And I'm still on my slow burn when it comes to the Make Do Diet. I attempted to take a few photos of the progress but I was not feeling my best. An off day. Lo! Here are the stomach shots. The 100 sit ups a day are the business.
I've lost some inches, a bit of weight but it a slow process but after trying to do a quick fix, all Rachel's advice is working out.

Then it came to me, I needed to lose the to do list, the trying to do everything. I decided instead of looking to the French for their style (actually I don't really I'm more of an Italian when it comes to fashion) I needed to adopt their attitude. When petit garcon's school breaks up I making straight like a French maman and going on vacation for the whole time. It is the perfect option n'est-ce pas?

See you in the Autumn!
