Two more from the freezer; Katie’s on the mend, but I’m home way too late to take a picture.
So, did I ever tell you that Katie was in the Army?
That’s right, before she was whisked off for the glamour of weekly trips to Nottingham, Katie was a rarefied GI Jane (well, she did the Army adverts and websites).
The top photo is of Katie in an Army helicopter over the Highlands of Scotland.
The second one is of a very happy Katie picking up advertising awards for her Army campaigns.
Normal service will (hopefully) resume tomorrow.
Night all x
Two more from the freezer: poor Katie’s still feeling gross. She’s well on the road to recovery though and will almost certainly be back on the blog tomorrow. Although having said that, I’m quite enjoying the retrospective.
The top pic isKatie at Richard Nicoll’s show at Krug-swilling, 80s favourite, The Bluebird.
The botton pic is Katie graduating from Durham.
Right, must dash – I’m sure I’m required elsewhere for changing bandages, applying gauze and counting T Cells.
Katie is ill. And definitely not in the mood for a photo.
So instead, here are a couple of pics of Katie before she even met me. You’ll notice:
1. Her colour-blindness is not a recent condition.
2. She’s always giggled when drunk.
3. It’s taken a few years to get the fringe right.
Sorry, that’s all from me. I’ve got bath running, tea making, medicine giving duties to perform.
Poor Katie still isn’t very well. Doing her Weight Watchers photo is the most active she’s been all day.
We’re going to take it very easy tonight. Did somebody say X-Factor?
Her poorly clothes consist of an ASOS jumpsuit, Topshop top and a Whistles cardie. Normal service will resume soon I’m sure.

Poor Katie – this was taken earlier today but now she’s feeling rather poorly. So that long post I promised will have to wait. I need to look after my girlie.
I like Katie’s nerdy look though. And wow, what a creative environment she works in.
Apple Macs? Check.
Crazily coloured lampshades? Check.
Huge leather pill sofa? Check.
Massive warehouse occupied by a couple of people with haircuts? Check.
Who said there’s no point in spending money on 30 second ads anymore?
Soz for the late post – been a pitchin’ innit. By way of apology, tomorrow I’ll devote time to crafting a post of immense grandiloquent pomposity, the like of which the eye of man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen.
In the meantime, I leave you with news that the guys at German Grazia have featured our little old blog in their big old magazine.
Katie wears a Burberry Prorsum trench, Warehouse dress, Irregular Choice boots and a massive Kyboe watch. She’s off again to Nothing-ham and will be in our thoughts and prayers until her safe return.
Hello! Sorry, I’ve got a pitch today (and another tomorrow) so I’m mega busy. Please don’t take my lack of chat as a snub. Just talk amongst yourselves for a bit – promise you’ll have my undivided attention again very soon. Soz.
Today the old girl is wearing Calvin Klein booties, Topshop top, Pringle chiffon tank and a nice little necklace from Shopbop.
Lastly, massive thanks for all of you that voted for WKW in the Cosmo Blog Awards. Naturally, we got shortlisted. Brrrrrrrrrrp. Thanks! If you want to help seal the deal and help us bring back some silverware for the trophy cabinet (or Ebay), click here and vote for us for one last time (we’re in the fashion and style section, innit).
We met with a mortgage advisor last night. Turns out, if we’re ever going to get onto the property ladder, Katie’s going to have to stop blowing all of our pennies on tights and I’m going to have to switch to a less premium gin.
The wifey looks a bit “streetdance” today. Make of that what you will. She wears Topshop silk harem things, a necklace from Sally’s Jewellery, and a vest from Tesco – which is where we’ll be doing all of our clothes shopping from now on if we’re to get anywhere near the deposit on that seven bedroom Mayfair townhouse Katie’s got her eye on. I joke of course. (One of the bedrooms is actually more like a study).
Our housemate Lotte has jetted off for her USA roadtrip holiday, which means we’ve got the crib to ourselves (not that I’ve got too many plans on cooking naked). It might mean we watch slightly less trashy TV though – Being N’Dubz and American Four Weddings, excluded.
I think Katie’s feeling the cold a wee bit today – she wears a Zara dress, TK Maxx hoodie and Carvela shoes.
I thought I should probably give you fashionistas the heads up on a competition one of my work clients are running to win a weekend away in Paris. Actimel are sponsoring the excellent fundraising efforts of the Royal British Legion’s Pedal to Paris bike ride. To be in with a chance of winning (don’t worry – you’ll be on the Eurostar, not a bike!) all you’ve got to do is follow @ActimelUK on Twitter and tweet to them telling them “what your morning wouldn’t be complete without”…(Er, checking WKW presumably?!)
Good luck and bye for now!
There’s a picture of Katie in the Observer today. Plus I get quoted twice, one time using two long words in the same sentence. You can see the piece here. Thanks Alice Fisher.
In true Observer style, today we’re off to a gallery, after which we’ll be catching public transport home via the organic butchers – we need to get some meat to go with the pasta we’re making this evening (from scratch, natch – we got some ’00′ flour yesterday at Waitrose). Sunday night is MP Letter Writing Night at Chez WKW. So, after the pasta and home-brewed elderflower schnapps (Katie’s made a few tweaks to a Nigel Slater recipe) we’ll settle down to writing a few words of caution to members of parliament we feel to be straying from their duties as a citizen of the world. We’ll write them on our “home-pulped” organic paper, which is fine for firing off the Sunday missives, less so as king-sized cigarette papers.
Katie wears a dress from Frocking Fabulous, Loewe sunglasses, Zara shoes and the smug visage of the upwardly-mobile-yet-ethically-aware.
Ta ta. x
