The old ones are the best.

I love reading a good magazine just as much as I love reading a good book, and just as love to re-read a good book I love to re-read a good mag. And when re-reading a very old copy of Tatler the other day I came across this lovely Q&A interview with the beautiful Jane Birkin, I'm pretty sure I had read it before but once again it made me smile. Here's a few of the things she had to say...

You inspired the Hermes Birkin Bag - how many do you have ?
I have one, and it contains my life.

What makes you feel beautiful ?

Being loved.

Beauty-wise, what are your three pick-me-ups ?

A compliment. A dip in the sea. A kiss.

Do you sing in the shower ?

I hate showers, I take baths and I like to make the water very hot until I go dizzy - it gives me such a thrill.

How do you stay so thin ?

Its in my genes - my parents were skeletons. 

What's the secret to a good fringe ?

Cut it yourself in one go with kitchen scissors. Hold in a knot in front of the eyebrows. 

What do you talk to your hairdresser about ?

Men.

Best beauty tip ?

Yul Brynner's wife gave me earplugs 30 years ago. Now I always travel with earplugs, a pillow and a linen pillowcase. Life is too short not to sleep, so at night I take two calming pills, two sleeping pill's and I'm out.

Dear Valentine...

On a night when
Every line is a curse,
I thought I'd save you,
I keep making it worse.
I would give everything I own
for what it takes.
I would give everything I own
for the love it takes.

I won't leave you,
All you have is that spell,
Cast it will you .
Make me glad make me well.
I would give everything I own for what it takes
for the love it takes.

Very Bad Blogger : (

And the award for bad blogger goes to.....Me!!!!

Its been a while since I did a post or have even thought about doing a post, not a single post was done for the whole of January! tut tut...And talking of January (and to get off the 'lack of posts' subject) where did January go??...?? Already we are a good way into February, school half term is only a 5 days away and already my half term is booked up with meet ups and play days with friends and there children and a long overdue sleepover at nanny's (for the kids not me.) And that child free night will be put to good use for a meal out with the blokey and my oldest and one of my closest friends and her lovely husband, I can't wait!  

It's valentines day tomorrow and this year my gift is... 2 new tyres on my car! and to be fair I'm quite happy with that. My car did need new tyres and I didn't need the hassle of sorting new ones out and the bonus of not having to spend a large amount of money on something so dull. So when the blokey asked what I wanted I said New wheels! 
In return I'm taking him out for lunch on Tuesday while the kids are at school, I'm going to come out of work early and were going to a local pub we used to go to when we first got together, the food there is lovely, its proper pub grub..yum.
The kids have made me a card at school, can't wait to see it, school and home made cards are the best : ) 

Happy Valentines weekend : )
