Thursday 29 January
I couldnt sleep at all, beating myself up about not geting lily's brother last night. So by the time I got in the office, I was an emotional wreck. My brain doesnt work when I dont sleep.
When I explained the nights happenings to the news editor, my voice cracked with emotion. So after going through the motions of doing work, he let me leave at midday. I felt FREE!
I went to the posh sushi place by my office and bought some healthy salmon and tuna for later that day. And then went home to sleep...
However, sleeping in the afternoon is not easy. I only managed an hour before my brain got active again. I started thinking about parties I had to attend that evening. And worked on my home computer to find out where they all were and who was going.
Managed to get an hours work done on the fashion designers book before meeting F and her business partner Lu to head to parties.
The first one was rubbish - we only went so F could get revenge on an ex boyfriend. Which she doesnt need to demean herself doing, to be honest.
But i managed to persuade her to leave after about 45 mins, and we went to a posh party in the penthouse f The Westbury hotel in Mayfair.
I cahtted to the operations manager of the hotel, the vents planner as well as the manager of Prada on bond street. ThenI met the nephew of Londons members club king Nick Jones and had a bit of champagne and a few canapes.
Picked up a goody bag containing posh charbonnard and walker chocs so went down to the hotel bar for moere champagne and canapes and started eating the chocs. UIt was divine.
We shared a bottle of champagne but then the operatuions manager sent us anotyher glass each. I was well tiddly.
We put the world to rights - three girls chatting over champagne and chocs on London's best designer shopping street. This is the life!
Why oh why cant i have more moments like this? Most of my time is spent WORKING. Moments like this make me wonder what is the point. Happiness is possible - I need to treat myself to it more often.
Oh and maybe i stil hjave it with men. Ed, the a and r man texted. But i think it was work related as he just asked ' how you feeling' and never replied to the one i sent back. And no kisses...
BUT the young nephew of Nick Jones was proper keen on me, trying to ask me out for dinner that night and saying i should facebook him. He really is a bit too young for me, but he;s rich enough. Even tho he has the blonde public school hair going on, and his mate had a coat with a real fur collar, i can change his public school preppy look if he gives me his credit card!
