it's begining to look a lot like

CHRISTMAS! Woop! I love this time of year, I'm such a big kid & I'm already getting quite excited. I got a rather fancy nativity advent calendar from mum&dad (couldn't resist using the pop up stage set & cut out characters too!) & Adam & I got each other a calendar. 
On Saturday I put up all the Chrimbo decs in the lounge. It's only the 2nd Chrimbo in our home so I felt quite grown up going to the coal shed & getting the box of decs out - I've never actually had a box of decs before! I'd forgotten I'd bought all of these older fashion decorations earlier in the year so this time it wasn't just the tree that got decorated.
Although our bauble collection is quite small we've already got some lovely ones so it was great looking at each one before I put it on the tree. We'd decided to get another photo dec from Snapfish & as I went to get the other stuff from the coal shed it was waiting on our doormat from the postman - timing or what?! We got one of our engagement photos done & it's a tradition we're going to try to keep up every year from now on so we'll eventually have a tree of memories.
Adam had slept all the way through this (cos of his minging man flu) so when he drowsily came into the lounge later on he was dead impressed to be transported into a Winter Wonderland of our own.
Hope you're all getting ready for the festive season & you have a good 'un :)

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

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Eeep! 6months today I'll be just about to walk down the aisle to see the man I'm going to marry! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!I'm so ridiculously excited I'm not sure I can bottle it up! Valentines day marked 200 days till our wedding & mum made us a countdown using tape measures measuring 100cm each. The plan was to cut off a cm each day as the countdown but she'd included little charms all down them of bags, shoes, guitars, etc & we didn't want to ruin it so we're colouring it in with a Sharpie instead! She's the best! :) thanks mum! Last night after work Adam & I met up at Waterloo to head home & it was all going as planned till we stopped at one station for about 20mins cos of a backlog due to a part suspension. There was nothing we could do to get on another line so we sat & waited, the train eventually left but then sat at the next station (Swiss Cottage) for another 20min & they didn't know when they'd set off again. We knew th
