Was other half's birthday yesterday but he decided that today was his official birthday cos he's got a load of mates coming down to see him. Thus much inebriation is sure to follow.

He liked his present: a microphone and pair of posh headphones so he can get a new demo tape together (he's looking at getting back into radio news - took a break after his time as Head of News at SBN to do geek stuff but misses doing news.)

Is ages since I've tarted up. Decided against leather dress as I've worn it to loads of other parties recently. However, leaves me with girlie dilemma of what to wear. This weather is the worst. Slinky frock are too damned cold, I've never been into cardigans but jumpers aren't exactly top foxy gear. I guess I should go shopping but I find the entire clothes shopping thing deeply dull (hence, my wardrobe comprises of two black skirts, three pairs of black trousers and numerous dark red jumpers. Basic approach to shopping - go in, find something that I know I'll wear because it's identical to everything else I own, buy it. Realise I have in no way expanded wardrobe but simply made the time between washing clothes longer as have more of the same.)

Hmmm, have just remembered the stuff I bought for the photoshoot. Slut clothes here I come...
