Lonely
I used to love being alone, having time to myself, space to just be. I seem to have lost the ability to be alone now - now I am not alone I am lonely.

A list for boys of things girls like......
So KBW and I are having a Friday night girls night and it's time to make some lists (yes you know who you are that started the list writing...).
So we thought we'd start with A List For Boys of Things Girls Like - what with it being Valentines and all it may be of some use.
So here goes, lets start simple
Flowers
Yes I know it may be old hat and that it's been done before but we really like flowers - but seriously garage flowers NO no no no not even for your Mum. KBW prefers all the same no mixed bouquets , a massive bunch of either Lilies, Roses, Peonies, Tulips etc. PCB is open to a nice hand tied bouquet BUT in tonal shades not loads of brights or fakes. And boy NEVER red & white (only for a funeral and even then if you must only roses). If in doubt this is the place to shop http://www.realflowers.co.uk/
Chocolate
Whilst Dairy Milk has it's place when buying a gift for some one you love (or who's pants you want to get inside) it's not the answer. The answer, young Jedi's according to KBW, is Pink Champagne Truffles from Charbonnel et Walker:
Underwear
Ok - this is a lot about personal style. KBW and I have very different styles (and body shapes) so we'll give you both of our recommendations BUT boys, please....never ever Ann Summer - it's itchy scratchy and wrong wrong wrong.
KBW first : Myla, Myla Myla and if you're feeling particularly flush La Perla Black Label (but you may need a 2nd mortgage):
Most importantly get the size right - just sneak in her drawer when she's out or downstairs or something and check the size of her favourite undies - you can't go wrong.
Jewelry
Diamonds - nuff said......
No seriously - girls love diamonds but if you're looking for something a little more in budget I suggest either Links of London (and right now they have a really cute Fortune Teller to down load) or Wright & Teague......or look on their sites and go and get something similar:
So that's the obvious out of the way!
So what else do girls like, well it depends on the girl so we'll be back with our individual views.

Antique Rose Hat Box from The Real Flower Company

Me I'm more of a Rococo gal, Chicchi de Cafe are my fave but look at this fab choice for Valentines (Hot Lips Chili truffles and red lips):

KBW first : Myla, Myla Myla and if you're feeling particularly flush La Perla Black Label (but you may need a 2nd mortgage):
Myla (www.myla.com)
La Perla (www.laperla.com)
and now PCB: Well I love both of KBWs choice but I'm a bit more of a What Katie Did gal:
Most importantly get the size right - just sneak in her drawer when she's out or downstairs or something and check the size of her favourite undies - you can't go wrong.

Comfort Food
Sometimes when things seem really bad finding a portion of your Mum's mince & onion gravy in the freezer really does make the world seem a better place.

Homecoming
After over a week away, too many airports and too many gins I am home.
I am tired, but woke at 3.30 as my body has no fraking clue what time it is. Sure I'll fly away for the weekend hours after landing back from the US....different airport you say, sure no problem. I'll just drive for two hours after landing from Philly rather than get a car back to my nice comfortable home.
I've returned home to a tidy, cold but empty fridge place. The garage has run out of milk but my brother was coming so I needed to get home. I had gin all was fine.
So here I am 5.30am, it's cold and my various bags and cases are still in the car. I can't get into my room to turn the heating on early as my brother is in there and I have no milk so can't make tea.
I am jet lagged, a little hungover and cold.
First day in the office for over a week today - wonder what joys are in store, couldn't face turning the crackberry on when I got back yesterday so may just play it by ear and wing the first few hours (to be fair this wouldn't be the first time).
But can't get ready and get in early as brother is in my room where my black dresses are kept. I could get the bags out of the car - is it still -2.5 out there?
Coffee it is then - if only to have something warm to hold to take the chill off.
