For my friend...

I have a friend who is a 'work' friend but whom I have known for years and years and who I share most of my waking thoughts with. On work days she tops and tails my day - half professional de-brief and half personal updates. She is flat out with back pain at the moment and pleaded with me today 'can you please blog more; I have nothing to read!' She is one of the very few friends who know I blog; she once described this place in cyberspace as 'like a dream'.

We have a pact that we must always wear heels to work, irrespective and no matter what. In a business meeting; it's all about the outfit. Never, ever commit to something in the future in the hope that by the time it comes, you will have reconciled yourself to having to go; you won't have. Never underestimate the benefit of an early night. And eat more mackerel. Oh and perfect motherhood is around the corner; it just alludes us every day. But most of all....breathe... :-)

  1. Yay, I want you to blog more too!! I am so sorry your friend is hurting. I hope she feels better soon.

    It is funny because a lot of people in my life don't know I blog either. I like it that way. Keeping the blog separate from work is nice.

  5. She sounds a super friend and how great that you see her every work day too. Super cute photo. Ruby has started trying on all my shoes - I must try to get some photos of her little chubby feet and legs tottering around!

  9. Work friends are a lifeline and although dysfunctional sometimes ~ they really are another family that we spend way too much time with. It is so great that you have this friend to get you through the good and grrr days! Love that pic! xo

  10. Oh Lou you are too sweet for words. What do you suppose a girl is to do when her blog IS her work? Hmmm I seem to be in a slight kafuffle here now :)
