Just a short post, it's been an exhausting day.
I've spent a fabulous day being wined and dined at the Millennium Mayfair Hotel in London. A group of fellow bloggers and journalists had been invited there to judge a male modelling competition for Marie Claire.
It was a tough job, I can tell you. We were required to interview and 'inspect' a shortlist of thirty models aged 18-25 and select just 8 to appear in next month's issue.
My personal favourite 'Ivor' didn't get selected in the end but he did travel home on the same train as me. Turns out he doesn't live that far away!
Anyway, I digress.
Regular readers of Insomniac Mummy's 'Hot or Not' feature would have been impressed with the line-up. I have recommended that each and every one of them is invited to the next event.
The day ended with Mr Philip Schofield popping in to chat to one of the magazine editors. They are planning to team up with This Morning to run a feature called Big Fat Lie.
So, (coughs in a slightly embarrassed manner)... in reality, I have been stuck in bed all day with a sore throat and a temperature.
Alone.
Which is why I have to dream.
I did say there was not a lot happening here!
How exciting! I've done lots of castings with male models and I always find it very difficult to remain professional and not go to giggly pieces x

That is brilliant! You completely got me, and I only hope that 'Ivor' does appear on a train near you sometime soon (and if he does, could you ask if he's got a friend?!). Hope you get better soon.
