rabbit, rabbit, rabbit!

last tuesday there was a playboy mansion night at the union. all the textile girlies went cos it was a chance for us all to fundraise for our degree show (still need about £7,000 i think, eeek!). we helped to design the set for each 'room' and also sold food, did games and face painting. it was a really fun night and eventhough it was a tuesday night, so not very busy, there was just enough people there to make it fun!

ME AS A PLAYBOY BUNNY!
ME, RFA AND HIS GROOVY SHIRT!

PAUL, BECCA, EMHEN, DAMITH, ME, MARK, KAI
i also got to meet up with quite a few people that i hadnt seen for ages, especially mark, so it was nice to catch up a bit, dont think many people recognised me at first! it was quite funny cos i dont usually make that much of an effort when i go out!

EMHEN, ME AND NAT NAT
not sure how much money we made yet, dont think it was very much but it was nice to have a textile social where everyone got together.
on the wednesday em, nat and i went to the clotheshow at the NEC in birmingham. it was so much fun and i spent quite a bit! ah well never mind! hehe. my biggest bargain of the day was a pair of boots reduced from £125 to £30! :-D i dont think anyone except me likes them but i dont care, im the one who has to wear them!! ill post a photo of them soon! and i can get everyones oppinion! i also got 2 jackets, a jumper, socks and pants, 2 belts, a bag (surprise surprise!) and a wallet. i think thats it, cant really remeber! we got there at 10:30am and left at 6:30pm, it was a looooong day but really fun and the catwalk show was ace as usual! got a bit lost on the way home cos i told em to go off the motorway a junction too early but we everntually got back, thankfully!
not really got much else planned, we are hopefully going to see Narnia tomorrow and then bowling gotta call up and check if i can get some tickets. thats about it for now, need to get on with my dissertation! :-S oops!

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...
