Sitting in a pretty teashop in Camden on a rainy Sunday morning sounds like a lot of people’s idea of a cosy way to spend part of your weekend.

At the pub the other day with two friends, one of the said, ‘What would our eight year old selves say if they saw us now?’ We all burst into laughter.

If I only had those Jimmy Choo shoes, if I only got a promotion, if I only had a thousand Twitter followers, if he only liked me back… We’ve all been there.
