notes from the fiesty redhead!

im stressed! its crap being a finalist! argh! got too much to do so writing this blog is a nice break!



*NEWS FLASH!!* I STILL HAD TIME TO DYE MY HAIR THOUGH!!! ITS NOW A NICE REDDY/BURGUNDY! YAYA!

Had quite a nice weekend. Rfa, sam and i went to Bridgnorth in Shropshire to visit anna and to go and see the infamous Andy G (anna's boyf's) gig. he was well good, did lots of cool songs and his set was two 45min sessions. i was very impressed! so 'big up mr g!' hehe



MR ANDY G! (not posed at all!!!)


RFA, KTP AND SAM
we were staying at a pub/hotel called bassa villa and was haunted apparently! we werent told that till next morning though, although the night before in the pub a few people did give us odd looks when we told them where we were staying!!! we didnt see anything though and believe me i was awake most of the night stressing or doing my dissertation on the landing so if there was anything to see i would have seen it! any ghosts probably would have been more scared of a stress-head like me than i would of them to be fair!!!


THE GANG! (ANNA AND ANDY ON THE RIGHT)
the next day we had a guided tour around bridgnorth, it was quite a historical place (especially the caves!! :-P hehe), and we wandered around for a bit relaxing before setting off home again at 1:30pm. I was so tired when i got home that i went to the chipshop for dinner but didnt take my purse i just took a £2 coin with me, only to find that when i got there what i thought was £2 was infact a 10p! argh! rikster had to come and bring my purse so i could pay for my chips! how embarasing?!
today ive finally finished setting up the loom so ive only got a week untill my assesment! eek! not sure if ill get it finished, ill just have to blitz it and see how it goes. fingers crossed. my dissertations in for the start of feb too so need to finish that off too, too many deadlines! :-S
not sure if anyone listened to ricky gervais on radio two over chrimbo? but Karl Pilkington (the wally who has the same initials as me!! thanks for not letting me forget that rfa!!) plays a game called Rock Busters. Its like blockbusters but not really! anyways heres two of Karl's criptic clues for two bands, see if you can get them......answers on a postcard!!
the initials are - JS
the clue is - my younger brother's spotted you
initials - SW
clue - a memory card from a mobile phone on a spider's house.
thats about it for now, back to work (maybe bed actually! ill see which i reach first!!).

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...
