    11.20 a.m. This is my fabulous life: the Sex God left for Whakatane last month and he has taken my heart with him.
    11.25 a.m. Not literally of course otherwise there would be a big hole in my nunga-nungas.
    11.28 a.m. And also I would be dead. Which quite frankly would be a blessing in disguise.
    12.00 p.m. It is soooo boring being brokenhearted…

    …but Georgia doesn't remain brokenhearted for long: frequent snogging extravaganzas with old flame, Dave the Laugh, and the arrival of jelloid-knee-inducing Italian Stallion, Masimo, mean that Georgia has her work cut out to be the composed sex-kitten that she aspires to be.
