I use it as a joke, but although I have mentioned H.I.'s real name a few times, it is also a form of protection, which is why I get a bit pissed off when certain bloggers who also do not use their real names, keep referring to H.I. by her real one. I am not called 'Tom', 'H.I.' is not called that, and certain Welsh ladies are also not coming clean about their identities. Sorry I hi-jacked your comment, Olive, but it had to be said, and thanks for saying what you did.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-86242517048065817392011-01-08T16:49:37.923-08:002011-01-08T16:49:37.923-08:00I am enjoying the HI stories immensely Tom.

Having said that, the last post caused a great wave of appreciation from H.I., so I am now milking it. The big thing is to know when to stop.<br /><br />She actually remembers that jumper fondly, Cro - amazing, considering the incalculable amount of designer labels that have been bought since that pic was taken. I think our household contents insurance is for about £60,000, but this would not even cover her wardrobe, let alone the shoe collection, which is bordering on Imelda Marcos. I must do a post on the fabulous Ferregamo museum, which had H.I. smearing her nose against the glass display cabinets a few years ago.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-44285704147952350322011-01-08T05:48:12.964-08:002011-01-08T05:48:12.964-08:00p.s.
