wanted: dog sitter

KW’s adorable pup poppy needs dog sitting in march. we’re all off to the snow for a gnarly ‘boned out’ ( http://www.abc-of-snowboarding.com/snowboarddictionary.asp ) boarding holiday. although J infamously likes to play hard and work hard she won’t be making it due to ‘business’ commitments. hence she is the obvious choice for this task…. i use the word obvious loosely because based on previous babysitting/being responsible experiences J had to prove herself worthy first. she decided a day of dogsitting the neighbours’ pooch would be good experience and may boost KW’s confidence in her abilities.

I returned to the flat to find this scene and J nowhere in sight.

I later found out that our neighbour was frantically roaming the streets trying to find their 'missing' dog.

Poppy will now be staying at a pet hotel (5 star obvs)

confessions of a caffeine addict

in january many people think it’s a good time to make new goals and even give up certain things. for example KW has given up sugar (this includes alcohol!!)

i was left mortified when after (several) calculations i realised i spend a MINIMUM of £500 on a morning coffee annually (large skinny cappuccino, aka three shots of heaven). i decided to give this habit up. i have now been making my own coffee. “but that’s like your signature thing!” exclaimed J in shock.

but just think what I could buy with the £500 i save. so far all I’ve come up with is ONE chloe susan boot (see below post) or breast reduction surgery.

this act has inspired J to give up something to. she informed me that her good looks are her signature thing but she couldn’t give that up (for any monetary gain anyway) so unoriginally has also given up buying coffee. with the money she saves J hopes to sponsor an underprivileged goat in lebanon.

what small changes have you made to save money?

welcome to 2012...

highlights from december holidays include:

J returned from her world book tour (with presents)

i was offered free spanish lessons (i politely declined)

i held a pair of chloe susan boots in my hand…which until now where simply a fashion myth to me (the bad news was i did not have £1000 to purchase them)


i spent a lot of time at KW and PW’s…almost resulting in my own set of keys. which is a good thing because PW makes the best french martinis and they have sky+.

now in january I am back to my old routine and have to be weened off my staple diet of champagne and cheese. apparently this does not constitute a balanced diet. i can’t think of anything worse… well besides stone washed jeans and a matching jacket. everything’s relative.



(the good news is take me out is back on tv)
