Doing A Carol 40
Dear Diary.
Phew!
What a Christmas that was!
I’m a very lucky lady when it comes to Jerry as he generously bought me a Chanel watch and matching bracelet for Christmas. He must have read my mind, or picked up on the ‘not so’ subtle hints that I’ve been dropping along the way. Bless him.
And he’s also bought me a luxury spa weekend for two. Now that was a surprise. He must have known how busy and exhausted I’ve been lately.
I know he won’t go with me, as doesn’t like being touched, pummeled or stretched by strangers, so I’ll ask Sara if she’d accompany me. I’m sure she will as she does love a pamper session.
Along with some other smaller gifts he gave me, I’m a happy bunny.
I bought Jerry a Patek Philippe watch and a driving experience in a premium supercar around Brands Hatch. That will be fun for him. He’s a classic car freak and he’ll enjoy talking motor had stuff about those machines. Though that’s definitely not for me.
Me, on the otherhand, I’d be at home or working whilst he speeds around the track, acting macho behind a powerful beast. He’s going to have fun as I know what it’s like to handle a powerful beast, don’t I?
I also bought him some new underwear and pj’s. Yes I know that can be deemed as a cop-out to most, but he needs smartening up (or I should say sexying up). His old underpants were starting to fray and were so old that they belong in a retirement home, so he needed a new collection to hold his crown jewels.
I wonder if Michael or Steve have new underwear for Christmas? Do you think that they’ll model them for me or perhaps, could I be their personal underwear inspector? I’m sure they would and I could, though I haven’t seen the guys for a while. I’ll have to make it one of my New Years resolutions to make an effort and get back in touch with them for some regular fun.
Well, since my hotel threesome, it’s been very quiet for me down there, like an unchartered no man’s land, dry as a dessert and plugged like a dam.
Obviously with Jerry at home, I couldn’t have any fun over the holidays, so I will have to cross my legs and wait just a little bit longer.
Talking of watering my plant, having recovered from my liason with Pascal and Scott, I replanted my flower by socialising at various parties and events with Jerry over the Christmas period.
We had a lot of gatherings to attend to, as all of our clubs that we are members of, held their annual parties. Being a chairman of some of the clubs, Jerry had to attend and as the dutiful wife, I was obligated to join him.
Well, it would have been rude not to have shown our faces, wouldn’t it? I mean, being such pillars of society, it’s good for business as it presents the perfect opportunity to discuss ‘work stuff’ over some relaxing bottles of wine and some nibbles.
Though some nights I would have preferred to had been in bed and watched tv, but as soon as I were at these events, I switched my head in to socialise mode and eventually had good time.
No, nothing like that! It was just a few drinkies, dining and dancing with friends. That’s all. Totally innocent. I behaved myself and played the doting wife by Jerry’s side. Honest!
Well, it was alright for Jerry as he could fully enjoy himself and relax as he had two weeks off from work. Lucky him. I didn’t have that pleasure as I still had two successful shops to run and they were in over drive with hoards of plastic card flexing women stocking up on their festive outfits and gaggling about what party they were going to, ‘who’ they were wearing and ‘who’ they were doing!
I can’t complain about working hard as one, it keeps me out of mischief and two, our sales and profits were much higher this year, compared to last year, which is great for my business and for our savings as our quiet period will be upon us soon. And in some cases (fingers crossed that it won’t be us) many retailers tend to struggle to make any money at that time of year.
Although, the January sales do bring in new inquisitive customers, but obviously, the profits are much lower than average, so we do have to cross sell, up sell and push our products to make our targets. As they say, swings and roundabouts. And you know, I do like a bit of swinging, don’t I?
Plus it’s a good time to take stock of what doesn’t sell and set some time to make plans for our Spring and Summer collections. I’ve already been to some of the designer houses and shows and have ordered some exciting new stock. They’re now in storage, ready to take their places in my shops. Though firstly, I need to make some spaces for them.
Now bring on those bargain hunters.
Ping. Ooh, who’s this? It’s a text from Sara.
Ping. ‘Hi. Michael and I are having a New Years fancy dress party. It’s for charity, so bring some cash and your platinum cards! Ha ha.’
Cheeky cow.
Ping. ‘It was a late decision for us as we normally go away to our city apartment in Edinburgh for the holidays. But are you and Jerry up for it? It’s a vicars and tarts party?’
Ooh. That’s sounds interesting. Very different from their usual gatherings. I wonder what Michael will wear?
‘Yes. We’d love to.’ I replied. I should ask Jerry first, but hey, its New Years and he needs to let his hair down (or the lack of it) and go to a different kind of party instead of the bog standard black tie ones we’ve been attending to recently.
Ping. ‘Great. Come early as we can catch up on the gossip. Plus I want to see your new jewellery that Jerry bought you. You know I do like my bling.’
‘Yes I do. We’ll look forward to it.’
Ping. ‘I’ll text you the details. And don’t forget to dress up.’
No I won’t. ‘Will do.’
Oh poor Jerry. He’s not going to like that as he’s not in to fancy dress parties. This is going to be very out-of-his-comfort-zone night. Although I know he will make an effort as that’s what friends do. But knowing Jerry, he’ll make a big fuss and commotion over nothing about how it’s going to ruin his reputation. Then after his rant, he’ll calm down, reluctantly wear what I tell him to wear and dutifully attend the party with gritted teeth.
Well, he’ll have to like it and lump it as it’s only once a year we can do something silly and have a fun night out with close friends, instead of minding our p’s and q’s with a bunch of uptight associates.
And more importantly, it will give me a chance to dress up really slutty, act like a tart and not have to hide it as that what the costume depicts.
Though thinking about it, will my outfit give Jerry a heart attack as he’s never seen me dressed in anything naughty or revealing?
We will have to wait and see. And anyway, it will give me the perfect excuse to buy some new sexy lingerie and say it’s for the party. He’ll never know the real reason why I would need a selection of saucy purchases, will he?
