muffins on the move

why don't they invent an easy way to eat muffins on the go?! i was at the train station yeterday morning and i saw a muffin just calling out to me and i thought yeah why not? so i paid a stupid price for it and was about to eat it and the train came. so i got on a busy commuter train still clutching my pricey muffin. instead of being patient and waiting till i got off the train to eat it i decided to start tucking in. what i hadn't thought about was HOW i was going to eat it. i started to take the top off first which was fine cos it wasn't too crumbly, then i got the middle bit that was just crumbs and i started to struggle. i had my arms pinned to my sides and tried not to drop muffin crumbs over everyone suits. most people would have just given up but it was open and i couldnt wrap it up again and the only other choice was the throw it away. now im on a budget this month so i'm not going to waste half a crumbly muffin cos i cant manage with it so i struggled on and eventually made it without losing too many crumbs or chocolate chunks over me, the floor and my carriage companions. *phew!*

i went out comp shopping yesterday morning after the muffin madness and got there a bit early so i went and sat on the steps of eros and watched the world go by. it was lovely. it was sunny and blue skies but a bit cold and i watched all the tourists and business men walking around. i still cant believe i live here in london. its brill being around all these places you grew up looking at as a tourist and actually experiencing it.....except for the expensive muffins........

Ladies what #ldnlunch

After a few deep breaths I plucked up the courage to walk into the Jetlag bar in Fitzrovia & meet some fellow blogging lovelies. I'd first heard about Ldnlunch On Eloise's blog . I'd always wanted to go to a blogger meet so I put my name down straight away. I was a bit nervous when I realised there were about 40 other girls going who's blogs were mainly about fashion, whereas mine is just random ramblings from inside my brain box but decided I'd still go seeing as I had nothing to lose! I arrived expecting to be early but there were already lots of people sitting down for drinks & food so I grabbed a drink & perched on a pooffe. I just ordered a bowl of chips (how adventurous!) but I did pick off the plates around me (yoink! Thanks Lois! ). There were mixed responses to the rather tentacle-y calamari (I have some hilarious snaps of Jazzy eating the tentacles but I'm here to make friends not enemies so those will be shared between the 2 of us &am

Londoners pt1

Image
For Chrimbo Adam gave me a book called "Londoners. The days & nights of London now - as told by those who love it, hate it, live it, left it & long for it" by Craig Taylor. After reading the introduction & before reading any more I decided I'd think about what London & being a Londoner means to me. Even though I picked out bullet points I still got a bit carried away so I'll spread it over a few posts so here goes part 1, I'll start with the one thing that I think of straight away when someone says London to me: ~ the tube is a huge part of London life. It's about sitting on a train for an hour & not knowing what any one's face looks like only their shoes, panic attacks when the train gets stuck in a tunnel without explanation, keeping left, standing on the right spot on a platform so you'll be in front of the doors when they open & also so when you get off you'll be at the exit to the station - even if that exit says no ent

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we&#
