- The Observer, Sunday January 13 2008
1: Slagging off February (officially the most depressing month of the year after November; terrifyingly imminent). But will someone explain again: what is the point of it?
2: Prosecco and chips. The best possible thing you can do with a Sunday.
3:The multiple coats we bought in the sales. So, so many. But each one is special to us, in its own way.
4: Dressing Russian. We so want a pair of Kova & T's sell-out wet-look leggings.
5: Being old. We're in good company - Madonna, Prince and Michael Jackson all turn 50 this year.
6: Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy. We're enjoying it hugely. We also like the yank expression 'up the stick', which means 'up the duff', and which we've learned because we spend serious periods of the working day trawling blogs for updates on JLS' impending motherhood.
7: Obsessing over the M&S teacake fandango. It looks like the VAT man may owe Marks squillions, for incorrectly classifying the cake as a biscuit some years ago. We love this story.
8: The Ovulation Goggles phenomenon. Which accounts for the fact that we find ourselves eyeing up dudes we've never given a second thought to previously. Women's brains respond differently to men's faces at different times of the month, according to new studies. Which make us go: 'ugh!' but also makes us go: 'yes, that definitely makes sense' simultaneously.
