Paris part deux

Paris was amazing. What a lovely break from the norm. Mr G and I went on the Friday and returned on the Monday. We went to Le Louvre, saw the fashion shows, had cocktails whilst listening to jazz in St germain, went for walks along La Seine…bliss.

We saw Sally for dinner on Friday night – copious amounts of vin rouge were consumed, gossip was exchanged and belly laughter was had. She is now going to rent her own studio flat as of next month and she is excited, yet scared as well. Being as gorgeous as she is, the men are falling at her feet. She is currently dating firstly the Estate Agent (to ease the volume of paper work and assist with dodging the mass of beaurocracy in France). Seemingly, he is ‘alright’ looking, hardly ugly, but not her Romeo. He fills a hole; takes her for dinner, shows her the city and makes her laugh.

Secondly she is also, to mine and Mr G’s horror, dating a Married Man. The man in question met Sally on the Eurostar. He is a millionaire with a wife and two kids. One would presume that money, health and a family would be sufficient, but clearly not so for this chap. Sally states she has only kissed him, but secretly enjoys the fancy meals, a chauffeur and champagne. However, much to my relief, she has refused his offer to fly her to his holiday home in Barbados (although very tempting, especially in this dreary weather, she barely knows the guy from Adam!)

Lastly, but by no means least, there is the Italian Man. Having met at her previous job, she instantly felt attracted to him (for the record, OMG he is stunning). Although she was going out with Alex at the time (for 8 years) Italian Man did awaken something in her. Seemingly, he has written to her stating his feelings and he also went out to paris to see her – how romantic – only the Italans would perform such a gesture. I know that Italian Man maybe serious as she has told him not to contact her until she is ready. We only do that when we truly like someone, don’t we).

I am really looking forward to the new shows coming up ; LFW is always so much fun! Got my new styles and colours sorted, just waiting on the samples. Got masses to do in the interim. Currently at my PT job whilst composing this, my objective for this year personally is to give up this job and focus on my business full time by the end of this year. I have to say, all of this juggling can get too much, but it is necessary whilst the business grows. Unless I take out a massive loan there is no other way. Why would I want to do this? In a recession it is hardly practical! Anyway, you only get out what you put in…
