AWOL

Don't worry (not that you probably were!) I'm still here just a bit bogged down at the moment & my poor little blog has been a bit neglected. I'm doing the usual KtP trick of saying yes to everyone/everything & not thinking about myself & when I'm going to relax (or write my blog!). So excuse this post & how bitty it is it's just an update on my little world so far....
Last weekend was a perfect example. Adam & I drove to ma&pa's on Friday night then the craziness began on Saturday. We went to Lufbra to sort out the bridesmaid dresses (which are now sorted huzzah!), headed to Leicester to a Vintage Fair in the Cathedral (which was brill but cos it was kinda linked to the wedding I can't say any more about it for now), grabbed a quick bite to eat, met with the priest to go through what we wanted to do in the service, drove to Sutton Coldfield to see Slink (which was ace & muchos fun!), headed home & started to stamp the envelopes for our invites & finally fell asleep about 1am!
Sunday was spent pottering around for a few odds & ends (as well as driving past the 'lamb field'!) & writing the invites ready to send on the Monday morning. It's been so exciting to send them out & we've even had an rsvp already! Seeing as we (mainly Adam) spent so much time designing them it's lovely to hear how much people have been impressed & how excited they are too. I'll do a proper invite related post at a later date for y'all to see.
Completely unrelated to anything but how lovely are these shoes by Iron Fist?! *swoon*
Work's also been really busy. Everyone seems to have woken up & wants everything now, we've also had a bit of a move around which is working out for the better but we were a bit unsure of how it would be at first so that was playing on our minds loads. I also went on an Illustrator course for a week which was brill & I learnt so much but it really left me a bit brain dead & after staring at a computer all day the last thing I felt like was writing a blog on another screen!
As well as wedding & work I've been sucked into the Draw Something fad! How can a game be so addictive?! Im Katie P if anyone wants to draw me a pretty picture?! Don't worry the drawing on the left isn't mine - one of Adam's mates is a bit too good at it!
I'm mega excited about is all the talk about the new rides at Thorpe Park (The Swarm) & Alton Towers (Nemisis Sub-Terra). We've got so many BOGOF theme park vouchers that we're hoping to use. I think we'll head to Thorpe Park this year seeing as I've never been & probably Alton Towers next year! Woop!
Hopefully I'll be back to my usual blogging schedule from next week (fingers crossed!)

Ladies what #ldnlunch

Image
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!

Image
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
