plumpy's progress

tricky, ktp and rfa in nottingham. mmm cheeky vimto!!! hehe
well, my presentation with becca went really well, it was the most unprepared ive ever been for a talk and it went much better than ones ive practised for before i think! im modest me! :-P it was really nice to talk about india to people who are maybe interested in going out next year, and letting them know all about the ups and downs (mainly ups!).
friday was our course social at 'wild' aka pulse! (just give it another name and hope that noone notices its still pulse!) although ive not been in there yet, hopefully theyve got rid of the sticky floors and sick smell! :-S ill give them the benefit of the doubt for now! i was supposed to go and was quite looking forward to it, that was untill all of my mates pulled out so i had noone to go with. i could have still gone and seen people off my course but i really didnt feel like it after that cos it was supposed to be a fun night out with all my mates not doing textiles as well. humph. instead rfa and i walked to blockbuster, got 4 videos, a bag of peanut m&ms, popcorn, doritos and coke! oops hehe! we watched team america! its soo funny but soo un-PC! hehe. 'dacca dacca dacca' (ull get that if uve seen it, plus its the only quote i can remember thats not too rude to type!!!) cheered me up anyway!
saturday i went shopping with becca, i got some odds and sods plus a bargain hoodie for £18 that i spent the rest of the day customising! im dead chuffed with it actually! in the evening it was annats bday so we popped round there to say hi and have a few drinkie poos. at about 9pm becca and i had to pop back and sort summit out at hers and ended up buying a bottle of wine, pizza and a big bar of dairy milk and watched bride and predudice at my house! we sat down ready to watch the movie with the wine glasses id dug out of the back of the cupboard and then realised we had no bottle opener so ended up pushing the cork back down into the bottle! we're classy birds! it was a good job em wasnt with us! shed have cringed! hehe! still tasted fine though apart from having to fish out the bits of cork from our glasses!!
another thing i did this weekend was to finally finish the india movie cd! yaya! the preview will be in a couple of weeks time when we have another india reunion in lufbra! :-) hehe.
just watched another of our 4 rented videos, this time it was finding neverland. it was really good actually but me being my usual soppy self blubbed through the last part of it! *sniff!* only 2 more vids to go and we can get some more, hopefully without all the junk food crap this time!! :-S
right well thinks thats enough of an update for now!

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...

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...

#TowerPoppies

Image
Last September I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in the "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" at the Tower of London.... Those of you who are regular readers will know I love helping out the Royal British Legion & this was a chance to be part of something awesome! "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" was to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, in total there were 888,246 ceramic poppies (1 to represent every British / Colonial serviceman killed) & the last one was planted on Remembrance Day. If you want to find out more & see a video about the poppies being made click HERE . Early one Saturday morning I set off to the Tower of London & joined another 120 people for a 3hour shift. The aim was to plant 5000 poppies to keep on track for the 11th November but someone ended up opening an extra palette & we planted 6000 instead! Our team was lead by a Beefeater's daughter who actually lived in the Tower - such an in...
