Back to School, Back to You: 10 Ways to Reclaim a Little Me Time

The uniforms are ready,

The lunch boxes are packed and,

After weeks of hearing “Muuuum…” approximately 147 times a day, the kids are finally heading back to school.

While we love them deary, it’s quite nice to have a little time back. Not time to catch up on six weeks of washing, reorganise the house or work through an enormous to-do list.

Time for you.

Have your breakfast while it’s actually hot.

Meet a friend for coffee.

Go to the gym without watching the clock.

Start that series you’ve been saving all summer.

Wander around the shops.

Or come home after the school run, put your PJs back on and enjoy an hour of doing absolutely nothing.

"Me time" doesn’t have to be productive to be worthwhile. And as summer slowly turns into cooler, darker evenings, September is the perfect time to reclaim your evenings too.

• Fresh bedding.
• A good series.
• A cup of tea.

Your favourite PJs, for once, nowhere else you need to be. Our Oriental Bloom cotton PJs are ready for those first autumn nights, our Tiger Print sets add a little fun to bedtime, and if you're hanging onto the last warm evenings of summer, a lightweight nightdress is still very much allowed.

So when that school gate closes next week, make the coffee, enjoy the silence and remember:  The kids aren't the only ones getting a fresh start this September.

Back to school. Back to routine. Back to you.
