This is a post of jumble, consider that your one and only warning.

With less than a week to go before Rob and I leave for the UK (I’m coming back in June, but people are acting like I’m about to board the Titanic) I’ve been trying to tie-up as many loose ends as I can. With accounting, superannuation, banking, doctor’s appointments, booking train tickets, buying a new laptop, mentally packing my suitcase, going through piles of paperwork, buying travel insurance, and then trying (in vain) to organize Rob, I’m a bit blurred around the edges. I feel like my life is being controlled by someone holding a TV remote with an itchy trigger finger, because I seem to be jumping all over the place without actually getting anything done.

So I’ve done what I always do in times like these. I’ve turned to River Island, TopShop, Sportsgirl, Witchery & co. online. Retail therapy really does work, even if you just pretend to buy the things you want (I’d have to be one of the most practiced Pretend-Shoppers in the universe).
