everybody's doing the fish, yeah yeah yeah!

had an............adventurous night last night! rfa, slink and i went to see reel big fish at warwick uni in coventry. the gig was amazing, as usual! they are so cool, everyone should see them at least once! they had about 3 support acts and they werent too bad actually, one group really reminded us of bill and ted! hehe, they were trying so hard to be cool! rbf came on about 10:30pm but scott (one of the main guys) wasnt there cos he was ill :-( they werent as good as when i saw them in cambridge but were still worth it! the other problem with the gig was that it was for over 14's only, there were so many kids! we all felt very old! it was funny though watching them all 'moshing' to their best attempts! i had one particularly smelly BOY infront of me, he really needed introducing to deodorant!! hehe! on the way back to drop slink off, rfas car broke down -again! we broke down just off the m42 at 12:30am and the AA eventually came at 2am, it was sooo cold in the car! luckily rfa had said jokingly before we set off to pack a big coat incase we broke down and also took a flask of hot chocolate! that saved the day i think! unfortunately my trousers were soaked as well as my socks and shoes so my legs up to my knees were frozen! brr! the nice AA man came and let slink and i sit in his warm van while him and rfa looked at the car to see what was up. its great being girl at times cos we can go and escape to the warmth while the men have to sort out the problem!! Rfa'll have a new car soon i think, hes replaced so many parts now! we dropped sarah off and then went and sat in the big truck with the flashing lights (as in the RAC advert!) while we towed the car back to lufbra. finally got home at 5:15/5:30am! *yawn*

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...
