I’ve been pondering what to do over an email a few weeks ago (which completely slipped my mind… oops!). It was sent by an old college tutor who I’ve not seen in about 5 years. He was my favourite at the time; like no man I’d met before, but I still can’t quite put my finger on what attracted me to him. One of those primal chemical attractions, I suppose. I do know that we spent a lot more of my tutorials discussing our lives than we did the subject he was supposed to be teaching me! I always hoped that he’d make a move – I was too naive and inexperienced to do it myself – so I amused myself by going out of my way to catch his attention and ‘nearly drove [him] to distraction’ (to quote his email). Short skirts, revealing tops, you know the sort of thing…! What made it worse, is that he had the perfect opportunity to do so, as all of our tutorials were one-to-one. In a room on the second floor with a lockable door, no less, so noone would have walked in on our unique curriculum. But he didn’t. Not because he was too professional, oh no, but because he’d been accused of getting involved with a pupil once before, and he didn’t want to have misread the situation and have that all brought up again. So, nothing happened. I continued to be a terrible flirt until I left (and I still am!) – and I haven’t seen him since. Now, he writes saying how he doesn’t want me to be his greatest regret. It’s strange – now I’m out of that schoolroom setting, now that he isn’t forbidden – he’s lost his allure. Bet he wishes that he took his chance whilst he could – I’m quite certain there’s a few others who would have done if they were in his place! xx
Just to let you all know, I’ve received a lot of advance appointments for my tour to London in… wow, can it really be just about 2 weeks until I’m there? That’ll just fly by, I’m sure. But, my point is, I’ve got so many potential appointments that I’m reluctant to take anymore! It’s so easy to get carried away and just wear yourself out whilst touring, and I’ve no intention of doing that – it’s not fair on any of us! 
So, I’m no longer taking appointments. But, I’m creating a ‘Cancellations List’ – so if an appointment time becomes free (things happen even to the best of us!) I can contact those guys who are on it and offer said slot to them. In more ways than one 
So, to be added, drop me a line with general days/times (morning/afternoon/evening)/in vs out, and I’ll update my list. Obviously, this is a bit like standby on aeroplanes No guarantees. But I’ll be back in London again in October/November I suspect.

I’m nearly at the end of my last week of this job. I’ll be sad to leave, and I think they’ll be equally sad to see me go – partly because some of them will now have to do their own work! They do say I’m fab, but I’m sure you all knew that already I will, however, be glad of the rest. Every single part of me aches – especially my feet, my knees, my back, my shoulders… get the massage oil ready please
And, opinion please. What do you think of leather jackets? On me, obviously. Does the idea conjure up sexy images? (No, I’m not going to buy one – I already own a gorgeous chocolate brown one – I’m just planning an outfit which requires sexiness in abundance)

Yes, I certainly can add more items to my wishlist… but not until I have a home to have them delivered to… which will be soon but not quite yet! Though I am a bit reluctant about buying underwear without trying it, and I’m not sure what the AW returns policy is! So we’ll see on that one. I’m sure I’ll update if I put up some new things on it, or if I find some things that I particularly like! (I did return the first set of shoes, and bought another pair instead – more expensive but much more comfortable!)
The last few days have been a little weird at my end. For once I’m not going to bare my heart on here, because I’m not quite sure how I’d explain the situation as it stands. Apart from the fact that I’m reluctant to explain until there is some sort of conclusion to said situation. Oh, how intriguing am I! All I will say is that it concerns my love life and that at the moment I’m neither happy nor unhappy – a little bit numb perhaps from some surprising information!
Anyway, hope you’re all well and happy!
Love, Alexa xx
Well, it turns out that there was more than one challenge in my last blog: the one that I was undertaking, and one that a lovely London gentleman took me up on. He scoured London for the dress that I liked, bless him, found one, and purchased it! Which I’m utterly delighted about – I didn’t actually expect anyone to look for me and it’s so much appreciated!
I’m really in a clothes-buying mood at the moment. Outer clothing still, at the moment, so I can add yet another dress to my collection! And a pair of shoes. Though I’m still a bit uncertain about these so may be returning them tomorrow. And now that I’ve thought about underwear… well, who knows. Perhaps I’ll be adding to that particular collection as well! Must have new things for my tour!
What else to tell… hmm…
I had a very surreal conversation with my workmates about vibrators this afternoon. One of the ladies was confessing about how she’s never had one (it all started off from motorbikes and throbbing between ones legs…), and then turned and asked me (standing quietly in the corner minding my own business at the time) if I owned one. I obviously said yes – couldn’t have denied it if I wanted to, I tend to turn bright red when I’m lying about these things – and she said something along the lines of ‘Bloody hell, she’s younger than me and even she’s got one!’. Oh, if only they knew. And not just about the collection but the lifestyle. (But then, being in a long distance relationship is always a great excuse!) I think the conclusion was that pretty much everyone owns one (or more, hehe) except her. Not sure we’ve convinced her to get one yet…
Anyway… I’m utterly shattered so am off to sleep! (Well, after a bit of sewing… I’ve done one dress already, woohoo!)

As if I don’t have enough to keep myself occupied, I’ve added another thing (or things, technically) to the list.
Yesterday I went shopping for dresses. I couldn’t get the one that I really wanted, and incidentally, if anyone can get this dress in a size 10, I will love them forever as I adore it: http://www.riverisland.com/online/women/dresses/going-out-dresses/blue-80s-style-bodycon-dress-594529 ) 
So I consoled myself with a similar version in both red and black – I couldn’t decide and had to rush back to work, so couldn’t stand in a cubicle half dressed debating the issue. And I like them muchly (despite them not being a gorgeous blue), but the main problem is that they’re far too long. Now, textiles wasn’t something I particularly enjoyed back in my school days. It wasn’t something I was particularly good at, for that matter. Name labels and buttons are about the limit of my sewing prowess. So, I’m challenging myself to shortening my two new dresses myself.
So far, it’s going really well! The black one is part done already. Though in a few days time I’m sure I’ll be going – someone, find me a local dress alterer! – but at the moment it’s quite fun. Different to reading a book last thing at night before bed at least!
Sorry all! Life has been rather busy at my end so by the time I’ve been getting home from work in the evenings, I’ve just been too tired to blog. Asides from work, I’ve been cramming all sorts of little things in here and there – a fair bit of juggling going on! But all is well.
My car decided to have a tantrum mid week – brakes related, so I had to have something done about it. Note to self: next time I visit the garage, I should wear a short skirt. The bill was incredible – and that was just for looking at my baby, not counting fiddling about to fix it! Next time (which hopefully won’t be soon or my bank balance will be tres unhappy!), a little bit of flirting will be going on! I know, that’s a tad stereotypical – female driver, in distress, blah blah blah, but meh. Might as well try!
I had a really unexpected email during the week from an old school tutor who I haven’t seen since I was… hmm, about 17 I think. I had a huge crush on him then, and it turns out the feeling was mutual! Bit late to tell me now! If only he’d made a move and seduced me (or me him for that matter) – well I’d have a much more interesting story to tell you all now! We did have the perfect set up – one to one tutorials in a room with a lockable door! We certainly spent more of our classes discussing our lives than the subject concerned, so we might as well have explored a few other topics!

I had so many plans of what I wanted to write today, but I can’t quite find the inspiration to make the situations as funny as they were in real life, so I’m not writing them Suffice it to say that I had a very entertaining weekend and am absolutely exhausted!
Hmm. My remaining inspiration seems to be draining rapidly away (as every thought has suddenly left my head!), whilst my enthusiasm for ice cream is increasing. I think we all know which is going to win!
Another time, me thinks. I’ll do better, promise! If anyone has any ideas… anything they want me to blather on about… feel free to tell me 
Love, Alexa xx
This will probably sound more than a little strange, but at the moment I feel rather like I’m in limbo. No real home of my own, or at least no escape route from the family home should one be required. Which it isn’t at the moment, but one always should have a back up plan…! I’m a great one for planning and having everything meticulously arranged far ahead of time – though you’ve probably noticed that!
Anyway, this is why I’m already starting to get ridiculously excited about moving into my new place in just under a months time. I’ll literally just be up for the weekend and then leaving again, so not much to get excited about really. Most of the time will be spent moving boxes and unpacking, though the thought of organising my belongings does not fill me with dread – definitely the opposite! I’ve always preferred unpacking to packing any day! If I get bored (unlikely, but possible!) then I’m sure I’ll be available if required!
But yes, at the moment my fantasies revolve around storage space – will I end up storing my underwear in the kitchen cupboards just to find a space for my vast collection? Can you imagine, visitors looking for glasses or plates and finding thongs or stockings etc instead? The looks on their faces could be hilarious! Though of course how they take it depends very much on who they are…
I’m a bit of a home bird really, you see. I like having somewhere to call my own. I’m a little funny about having my space intruded – I was never one for having sleepovers at mine when I was younger. And I see my new location as a bit of a new start. My first foray into truly independent living. No flatmates, and definitely no loud, messy, inconsiderate rugby boys allowed over the threshold! *lets out cheer*
And now I’m moving on from the thought of cupboards to things I could try with the contents of them. No, not the thongs and the stockings The more, culinary related implements! I’ve been perusing new recipes I’d love to try when I’m settled! And since I’m in such a creative mood… I’m going to be making cakes tomorrow for the birthday party of a young relative! Like they (who?) say, a woman should be an angel in the kitchen and a…. I’m sure you know the rest Terribly sexist, but makes one desirable to have around if it applies!
So that’s me! I’ll be away for a couple of days at the before mentioned party, so don’t miss me too much! It will be too funny, I have to wear said child’s favourite top – things we do for the youngsters, eh?
Love, Alexa xx
And my tour is properly announced! Just over a month until I arrive, and I’m already excited! Just to clarify, in case it isn’t clear, I am taking bookings for London. But I am not yet taking bookings for Edinburgh, being as how I won’t be arriving there for a while, and I do have a few more changes I’m yet to announce! (But they’re not completely thought through as yet, hence the secrecy!)
Anyway, that’s it for now. I have lots to do today and I intend on being very productive!
Love, Alexa xx
