Mrs Cameron's Diary: Dave says keep it trendy not spendy for London fashion week

Well I am not sure where Dave is today, although I am guessing it involves hospitals, as per. I mean, I'm like why do you not basically wear a set of Methicillin-resistant scrubs and those clog things 24/7, until the privatisation is signed or whatever, OK it is not a great look but it would totally prove your commitment and you would not have to keep rolling up your sleeves? Plus, we could stop burning your ties. Lansley – there are no words :(

And Dave said seriously the only thing keeping him going is fash week being hardly any sleeps away, and I'm like me too except Hilto has planned the US trip for practically 10 minutes after the last show, so on top of writing my LFW speech *eek face* I am supposed to be sourcing Obama presents *calls Tracey and BEGS for obscenity-free edginess*. Plus as well as about a million new frocks Hilto says to pack some mid-range trainers for the Michelle tug-of-war or press-ups, we are not sure which she will choose, Haguey says they cannot rule out a full pentathlon given the symbolic importance of humiliating British house-guests? And Dave sweetly asked if I mind having to lose, but I am actually bring it on? I mean so long as I can nail a fabulous luxury sportswear look while she is working standard gym-bunny I'm thinking major fash diplomacy win, as in how tragic and try-hard is all her jumping and panting, and Dave said well for God's sake babes trendy not spendy, remember A for Austerity.

But, I'm like, excuse me, if the A-thing is so bad how did we sell out of red Valentine's purses? I know they are beyond darling with the spacious tonal interior features and sumptuous gusseted sides but I think a person would have to be basically not-poor to spend £280 on a high-end purse you could only use one day a year, given it has an enamel heart charm engraved with the words "Amour Sans Fin" hanging from the zip? Unless disposable heirloom pieces are how poor people cheer themselves up #howweirdisthat? And Dave says he has literally no idea?
