We spent months sorting through and clearing out a home we loved, and saying goodbye to family and old friends. Now that I'm sitting here in Wales, fairly relaxed, I look back and wonder how I got through all that stress.
Here's what helped - I gave up wearing make-up and jewellery, quit cutting my hair, and stopped worrying about what I was wearing. That's why you haven't seen any pictures of me here on the blog for quite some time. It was essential, though, partly to save time and partly because I didn't always know where my things were during the move!
Since I'm a freelancer, I still spend days looking like this.

I made some paper dolls to stand in for me on social media - they're better dressed than me!
You can see them on the right sidebar as the buttons linking to my Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest pages.
Guess which one's my favourite?
Which one is your fave?
