My job, at times, can propel me into strange circumstances. I have just learnt that it is very likely i will be "spending the night" in the London home of a v famous celeb couple... I am not cool, have nothing to wear, and easily impressed... WTF do I do now?

I am gaggier than a gaggy thing.

crazynanna · 04/11/2011 22:57

Something she's studied hard for?

I would raid nice charity shop or tkmaxx. As for c section go for Bridget jones knickers.
I have met a few famous people and have a few contacts via email, and you know what, they are all pretty normal. Wary of strangers but just treat them like a new friend and easy to talk about kids as you have some.
Have a good time and try not to panic too much Smile

AitchTwoOh · 04/11/2011 23:14

tbh i feel right sorry for 'celebs' who have to invite people they do not know to stay overnight in their homes just to have a party. where are their real mates?

warthog · 04/11/2011 23:23

well said aitch

25kilopumpkin · 04/11/2011 23:25

Aitch - I agree I would HATE having to have people over like this and it's not a party either or fun at all. I've met a few slebs too one way or another but these are in another league, I know it's not about them but about me. Yes will have common ground with kids but oooooh frustrating I can't say more I know I seem like I'm teasing! I can't talk much about me to them (anon) and to prev poster, you can only be trained if you have a natural ability and meet shed loads of other criteria, like I said it's sort of security related.

it's prob gwyneth paltrow and chris martin

AitchTwoOh · 04/11/2011 23:29

sounds miserable, 25kilo... seriously. BRILLIANT fun for you, obv, and you will get a great story to tell your pals but the only seriously wealthy people i knwo seem to very quickly start bankrolling their friendships... hideous. totally distorting.

AitchTwoOh · 04/11/2011 23:30

but chris martin is a local boy with naice parents... surely to fuck he's got pals in London?

lisad123 · 04/11/2011 23:38

She a body guard Grin

DumSpiroSpero · 05/11/2011 00:33

Don't know if it's any help, but you can hire a designer handbag from about £20 per week this is one place but if you Google you'll get others.

DumSpiroSpero · 05/11/2011 00:39

These guys do watches, luggage, jewellery & other accessories for hire too.

DumSpiroSpero · 05/11/2011 00:43

Sorry that seems to be an American site, although it has prices in £££'s Confused

My money was on hypnotist,I had visions of op swinging a watch saying'look into my eyes,look into my eyes'.

saffronwblue · 05/11/2011 03:06

Is she maybe training them to fight off kidnappers etc?

ihatethecold · 06/11/2011 08:48

I wonder if she is there nowHmm
Cant wait to read the juicy gossipGrin

GHAHSTLYGHOULYpants · 06/11/2011 09:02

I was thinking some sort of life advisor, nutritionist, therapist, nanny, psychologist, body guard all rolled into one?

I am not sure about crisp white/black shirts with jeans and blazer I think you might be verging on a waitron look.

I would go for metallic ballet pumps, skinny trousers/jeans, plain grey t-shirt, blazer with a cool broach on lapel. I would have a couple of other t-shirts to change with, a pair of black flat chelsea boots incase you need to go outside when its cold, and a nice coat- think single breasted slightly man shaped or cocoon shaped car coat.

Have a great time xx

ihatethecold · 06/11/2011 16:34

What is a cocoon shaped car coat??Hmm

ImperialBlether · 06/11/2011 23:33

I am going crazy trying to think what the OP's job is!

saffronwblue · 07/11/2011 08:46

I have now decided that she is some sort of psychic or possibly exorcist.

winkle2 · 07/11/2011 09:19

I think it's Johnny Depp as he's in London at the moment promoting his film...

privateprancer · 07/11/2011 10:35
