Today's Outfit

This afternoon myself and my eldest babe hit the cinema.  We watched Kung Fu Panda 2, which we both loved and spent a lovely couple of hours cuddled up in the VIP seats, munching Maltesers.

Unfortunately, it was all downhill from here as, during a quick stop off at the park on the way home, Peachy-pie lost her favourite toy, Tiffany, the white stuffed cat.  Cue  c-o-m-p-l-e-t-e  meltdown.  Cuddles, explanations, commiserations and promises of a new cat; none of it cut any mustard with Peachy as the torrent of tears and screams reached epic levels.   Pixie-face clearly thought her big sister was being massive wuss and so, bored with listening to her inconsolable sobs, decided that now would be as good a time as any to leg it to the other side of the (enormous) park and check out what the big kids were doing.  GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Seriously, is there anything more stressful than trying to placate and coax into the car an angry, screaming 4 year old determined not to move an inch whilst at the same time attempting to restrain a squirming, screaming 2 year old intent on escaping your clutches?  And all this was played out in front of a large audience of children, parents, dog walkers and dogs!  As I say, GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

And breathe.  So, it seems that Tiff has gone, never to return so I've spent this evening online attempting to locate an exact replica, complete with matted fur.  So far, no luck.

Today's outfit looks really bland on this picture but the belt and bag "popped" a lot more in real life and I felt like I'd half conquered casual chic.  Until that sodding cat went missing.
