I’ve been known to spend way too long in front of the mirror making sure I look as good as possible before heading out to a party. But never to make sure I look at ludicrous as possible as I did Saturday night. With good reason though – it was a Kath & Kim party!

Lucky for us the party was within walking distance so we didn’t have to brave the tube – particularly for Ben as Kel in his super-tight, super-short shorts, body-hugging ,sweaty singlet, slicked-down hair and white sneakers. Noice.

B: Yes, I think I will do an auction or competition for some of these hot ticket items. I can see everyone scrambling for my super-tight shorts and sweaty headband.

One of my book club mates, Kerrie, is leaving London to spend some time in Marrakech. So what better theme for a party than ‘Kath & Kim do Morocco’?!

All of the usual suspects were there: Kaths, Kims and Kels, and an appearance from Sharon – complete with pash rash. The highlight for me was Pruuuu, who not only looked the part, but remained in character all night. Impressive.

As you can imagine, the handful of South Africans, Canadians and English at the party were a little bewildered.

It’s not often that I get freebies through my work, so when I was offered two tickets to last night’s Ice Ball, I snapped them up. It was a great opportunity for Ben and me to get dressed up, enjoy some fine food and entertainment, and support a really worthwhile charity, Help a London Child.

The venue was an old converted brewery, named, funnily enough, The Brewery.

There were apparently loads of ‘celebrities’ there (think Big Brother contestants and radio DJs), but they must have been D-list at best, as Ben and I didn’t recognise any of them!

Tuesday we celebrated Wes’s birthday down at this super cool funky bar in Clapham called barlocal.

We met some of Wes and Stackers’ friends and enjoyed some exceptional burgers and beers all while being looked after by some of the most impressive service staff I’ve ever experienced.

Apart from being super friendly and attentive, when they took my credit card to pay our bill the guy says back my name and for the first time ever in my life, he pronounced my surname correctly. I was stoked.
