The forecast for the summer months has been announced today and I have to say I'm not about to get too excited just yet. Apparently it is meant to be hot and dry...with heavy downpours not ruled out. Isn't that just covering all bases just in case?!
After being cheated out of the past two summers, I'm sure everyone's been hoping for some lovely weather this year. Lets hope we can make the most of the summer fashions and barbecue opportunities, or it's off to the travel agents I go!

What a hefty load for fashion
The age old concern of how large womens handbags are and the potential health implications these may have is back in the news today. I know we tend to carry a lot of (very essential) items around in our bags but I didn't realise they weighed an average of half a stone!
When it's put like that it does seem a bit ludicrous but I don't think I could bring myself to leave home without the 'basics'- purse, keys, phone, glasses, make up, ipod, diary, hairbrush, umbrella (dependant on weather)....that's just what I can think of off the top of my head!
Although this would explain the shoulder ache I tend to suffer from every now and then, it seems I am not alone in my suffering as apparently over half of womena are often in pain when carrying their bags, with shoulder, neck and arm complaints being the most common.
Each season seems to bring around an even larger bag in the fashion world so I cannot see an end to this trend. If it's good enough for Mary Poppins then the rest of us ladies will have to learn to cope!

Happy Easter
I think it has reached that time of the year where a few days off is needed. The holiday season is still a bit too far in the distance and the weather isn't nice enough to get excited about yet so a long Easter weekend is the best prescription.
We've battled through the dark mornings and darker nights of winter and the light is at the end of the tunnel. As per typical British weather, the weekend is not looking the best but I for one will still try and make the most of it.
All those who have been struggling through lent (myself not included!) can treat themselves and it's the perfect time of the year to get away with eating lots of chocolate!
