Now I have to say that normally I am a lovable person and being blond – one liner’s normally go over my head, but not yesterday. My best friend came for dinner and as she was leaving (by Taxi I hasten to add) after a few glasses of bubbly her parting comment was – ‘ As always, I am jelaous of your lovely natural blond hair, especially at your age!!’ wait for it, it gets worse, then she added ‘ why do you dye the roots grey?’ I nearly fell over the door step, slammed the door in her face and ran to the bathroom, grabbing my glasses on the way to double check what she was talking about. Grey Grey!!! me Grey oh my god it cannot be true. YES it was and so this morning , regardless that the clocks went back and everyone except me got an extra hour in bed I was phoning the salon at 9.30am actually now it was only 8.30am but i carried on calling until they answered the phone. I demanded that it was an emergency and that Maria my stylist who normally works only 3 days a week and today was not one of them had to see me. It was a life or death situation, well for me obviously it was. To my relief she was pulling an extra day and today was one of them. Within half an hour I was sitting in the chair and repeating my friends comments to Maria, who by this time was almost wetting herself – I kid you not – with laughter.  Two hours later I was strutting down Greenwich high street feeling all glam again. PHEW!!! so the rest of the day could only get better – WRONG I got home to find my hubby sitting where I left him waiting for the Match – Liverpool versus someone !!(football of course) I had the right hump and decided to spring clean the bathroom which looked like the SAS had visited since I left 2 hours previous, after another half an hour, I left the bathroom smelling great and sparkling clean and went to make the lunch – when hubby screams  ‘ honey there are no clean towels’ I held my breath was he in my sparkly clean bathroom? was he going to emerge from the said bathroom leaving it in the state I left it? er no the bath is once again full of yuckie man marks!! I gave up at this point, went straight to the fridge and opened a bottle of Tattinger. My hubby arrived ten minutes after asking what the occasion was for the Champagne – my answer was simply ‘It’s for me because I ‘m worth it!’

Bring on Monday, back to work and my sanity may it return real quick. I love em both I really do, just not today LOL

Well after a week of up’s and down’s here I am in Northern Cyprus. I really forgot just how hot it was here and it is October !! Having lived here for more years than I care to remember I am back here but not under the best of circumstances. My father in law passed away and I came to sort out his house. Anyway my work here is done and it has been great to catch up with lots of old friends. Cyprus is where I was learnt all about fashion and worked long hours in the incredible heat, amazing just how I have forgotten the long hours and the heat. I can not believe how things have changed and how much I missed the lazy Sundays, BBQ’s by the pool, friends calling round without an invitation, who does that in the UK – noone !!

Well back to the UK tomorrow, to the wind and rain and work !! Yuk….
