I hadn't gone out with my girlfriends since Lola was born, and I was missing it so much! So, when they suggested a karaoke night, I jumped at the opportunity! Picking what I was going to wear was really hard, but not for the reason you think. After all these months wearing the same comfy clothes, I just felt like putting all my evening outfits on at the same time! I'm not going to lie to you, I felt a little twinge when I had to say goodbye to my darling. But after a nice little glass of champagne, I was bellowing Britney and Kylie's hits as if I was 21 again!
