No time for the 4,000 Barbie dolls auction

A closeup of a Barbie dollI need to improve my time management technique big time. Freelance work commitments (a very welcome addition to my main 9 to 5 job) meant that I did not find time to go over to Kensington's Christie's branch to preview the huge Barbie doll collection that goes on auction tomorrow.

There was no time on Saturday, and no time on Sunday either. Or was there?

If only I had not watched the X Factor on Saturday night (boring). Or finished watching Extras on Sunday morning (meh, apart from a cameo by David Bowie). Or clipped the Scissor Sisters specials I recorded during the week just so that they started and ended right on the very first and last frame (anal). Or played Bejewelled for the best part of the one-hour allowance that comes with the free download (addictive), I could have put together enough minutes to go view the little plastic women being sold off.

I can almost hear the muffled disappointment of my thirty or so Barbies, squeezed tight into a travel bag within a suitcase at the back of the wardrobe for months now. I'll try and go today after work, girls.
