hi all

back again - actually having my hair done by the fabulous Sam - think we mentioned him a few months ago as he really is the best and you can get an appointment with him (if you’re lucky) at Lock On Ego on 0207 795 1798 - his equally fabulous flat mate Jarod Chapman is here right now too and we’re having a good gossip and putting the world to rights! Actually Jarod is your man if you want a Holistic Health Coach in your life (07758 355 506 - London based) - run around the park, food and lifestyle advice (god think i am going to go home now as he’s starting on me now…) and he finishes you off with a nice massage - can’t say fairer than that!!

Going shorter this month - always a worry but bored of playing safe and Sam gets really bored with me looking the same so here we go… maybe i’ll look like Sharon Stone by the end of it…

ok - it may sound like i lead a charmed life sometimes but i really don’t - just seem to have had a run on doing some fab things and when they involve your friends doing it with you, you have to sit back and appreciate your lot!

and last weekend proved just that - i have had a group of friends for years that got together once a month - hence our name TOTM club - formed because one evening we went out and spent all evening talking about our “time of the month”… well it was the final reunion - you might say that we had drifted apart over the last few years - which shouldn’t have happened but if anything is good for the soul, it was a night out with those girls!

So the reunion just happened to be in Madrid - and how much fun - the screaming and shouting started five mins into the conversation - everyone whingeing about weight, hair cuts, men, husbands, kids etc etc - but as usual, can always rely on it getting a little darker in conversation as the evening wears on and the alcohol flows to excess (no change there then!!) No need for half of the party to be fast asleep in the bar by midnight - how age catches up!!! But second wind kicked in and back to talking complete nonsense and another round of Bailey’s on Ice - i think you can picture the scene…

Hangovers galore followed but sorted by a couple of glasses of rioja later and we’re shopping like Victoria Beckham - actually thought we might run into her - how funny would that have been but to no avail! And there’s something about buying Zara in Spain that makes it completely fine and it’s cheap so you can’t say fairer than that! But no need to have two stores at the airport - just to make you spend those last few euros…. Happy days…..

Thought for the day - am redoing my house and i currently have more splodges of Farrow and Ball paint up on the walls than they have in any store - and none of them are right - who the hell decided that cream meant anything from pink to grey to green to stone…… i just want cream - not white, not beige and definately not yellow - why is that so hard??

thoughts on a postcard please…….
