Telly, Bag Theft and Porcelain Purchasing


Oh, just remembered a vital and significant thing - the telly people said that the marking for food and entertainment would be done openly, i.e. in front of the markee - and marks were up for 'discussion'.... Hmmmm. Evidently they are trying to find ways of provoking us, hardly required in my case. Explained to Madeleine that I had made a complete arse of myself in front of the camera. She thought it was quite funny. She said we should sign the contracts before the filming, if we were chosen.

She told me about her bag theft and how the thief had not touched her credit cards but had just taken her pay as you go £50 mobile and some money, and for some reason had torn up her filofax. She went back to where the guy who had found things had been and found most of the addresses from the filofax so she now has our numbers and so on. She is very upset about the phone, but mainly about the bag, which was her most expensive and wonderful bag ever. Anyway she is now recovering from the nasty incident and says everyone has been very helpful.

I shall think about going to John Lewis today to find some white porcelain plates and bowls to make a six piece setting and some individual butter dishes. I have enough glasses apart from the champagne flutes, and Romy is going to try and get hold of a few of these, and provide the coffee cans for our soiree. Since someone would be staying for breakfast, I would absolutely need to make sure the washing up was done the night before, so loading the dishwasher would be a priority and might be able to be done as events proceeded.
