Day 5
Yellow embroidered mini dress
Yellow T-bar shoes
‘How Rosemary's baby of you’ is what I say to myself as I
leave the house.
By the time I’ve got my arm up to go through my bag, it’s a
couple of centimetres shorter and the furrows in my brow are a couple of centimetres
deeper.
I’m due to have a meeting with my Creative Director today to
present my window scheme concept. She has been in the business for years. She’s
a little bit famous and very well respected.
I remind her about
my project.
‘Ahh’ she remembers.
‘Well you know me Nicola’ (and I do)
‘I would
tell you the truth’(and she would)
'and I
think you look really nice…but I think you look nice all the time.
You should
wear your hair down more. It looks lovely.'

I offer to take his number instead. He says ‘let me put it in as I need to see the numbers to remember them’....
Hmmmm…odd, I think but who knows, it might be a new
phone??...
Cheeky bugger puts his number in as quick as a flash and then
calls himself!!!
‘Now I have your number too!’ he says excitedly.
‘Now I have your number too!’ he says excitedly.
‘Yes’ I reply deadpan… ‘you certainly do’ smiling through
teeth that are somewhat gritted…
What he won’t have however, is a reply to his call as he’s in
my address book as:
