My little sunbeam! Toby performed in his Spring production today and was utterly gorgeous.

Adventures in crochetland continue. This is a "flower". I think.

My first crochet creation. (I'm learning). I didn't mean to make a hat - I was trying to make a spiral. But if fits on an egg so I'm going to pretend it's an easter egg bonnet.

At the ROG to teach today - horrendous day - but I'm utterly proud of my other half who has created and curated this entire exhibition. It's really cool - go to the Royal Observatory (it's free!) and check it out....

Beigel run. I think I've finally worked out WHO this is - is it Usain Bolt? It's just round the corner from Brick Lane....

The boys came with me to Mum's house after Oscar's drum lesson - one was playing on my iPad, the other on my Mum's....when she offered to buy them one each. A mini-iPad. My jaw dropped....and the boys faces lit up. I think she's going a bit gaga....(which is what they call her anyway) or just worried about inheritance tax. I got online to John Lewis....

Ta daaaa....we actually ended up taking 490 photos - these are some of my faves. The large one is my utter favourite.

So today I was getting my headshots done for my new agent. My hair looked flat and boring as usual so I decided to have a blow dry - felt very decadent. I idiotically didn't ask the price before hand - £40!!! But it was worth it.....

Toby woke the entire house up at 5.30am and refused to go back to sleep. I was so furious I couldn't get back to sleep either. This was the only thing that got me through today. And, as clogsilk pointed out, it was national no smoking day. #fail

Another Monday...another appointment at the Kaleidoscpe. This one was interesting though - we're starting the Listening Programme with Oscar - he listens to his CD twice a day for 20 minutes at a time, and it's supposed to programme his brain and help him concentrate. He actually really enjoys it - I thought it would be a battle....so let's see how it works....

My first mother's day where BOTH boys could write me a card. To translate, Toby on the left said he wouldn't trade me for custard and I give him <3 and hugs....you can read Oscars (his handwriting is so improved!)

This week just got better and better. My lovely Mum treated me to £95 stalls seats to see Chorus Line with her. I've always wanted to see it on stage (I loved the film even though it's slated) and I loved loved loved it. Also...the actress who plays Val has the same agent as me!

Ha! I found out this morning! They like me! They really like me (to quote another Sally). I've signed with RKA and am very optimistic and excited about kickstarting my acting career!

BIG day today. I had an interview with a new acting agent. I've been with the same agent for over 10 years and haven't had an audition for over 12 months. So I very nervously went to meet Robert Kelly Associates today who are amazing and who I REALLY want to sign with - if they'll have me. I should find out by Monday....

This is my lovely chum Julie who runs JD Boutique - it's a pop up shop/stylist service and she's hiring me (!) to help her with social media....

It's a filler. About the most exciting thing I did today is have a hot bath - this is a bowl made by my friend Anja Llubach - I've used it for PAD before because it's amazing. I put candles inside it....

Another appointment at the Kaleidoscope. I seem to live there at the moment - it's the downside of having 2 boys with ADHD......today was a hearing test. Oz passed so his sensitivity to noise isn't anything physical. I kind of knew that....but we have to jump through each hoop and tick each box before we move forward....

My lovely Mum got me a ticket to see "No Pressure To Be Funny" at the Soho Theatre - it's hosted by James O'Brien, one of my favourite LBC presenters. However it really wasn't funny, was too political for me and so I left in the interval.

Do I need to describe this? All the male members of my family have unfeasibly long tongues. Oscar is often sticking his up his nose. It's grim.

Rob was out tonight so I put Toby to bed. He read the entire "Little Engine That Could" story to me - and it's quite long. Partly memorised but mainly read. I was utterly proud of my little reader...he's growing up!

I've finally binned the last plastic Ikea knife and fork from the house. The boys are big enough for proper cutlery now and the plastic stuff annoys the crap out of me.
