just a little note to say.................

eh up! not written for a while. ive been fairly busy recently. at the weekend i went up to manchester to visit michelle which was cool. we went for an amazing indian meal and then had a few drinkie-poos. couldnt do too much tho as i only had £10 to spend! (money is getting bad, glad ive got easter holidays at the end of this week!!). michelle reminded me about my whole lent thing - no takeaways or chocolate and id like to inform you all that that idea lasted about a week at the most!! :-S as if that would have worked! how strong do any of you think i am?!

after i got back from manchester i had an hour before mum picked me up to take me home so i could do a talk at her school (my old school) about lufbra life and the course etc. it was quite fun and the way the snobby kids all looked at me it was like id grown an extra head!! hehe. was gonna shout 'boo' at them, but changed my mind!

unis going ok, very busy cos we break up on fri so im trying to dye all my yarns ready for the table loom that i should be allowed to bring home. got a big tutorial tomorrow - eek! so ill see how the final projects going, fingers crossed!

the latest news is that our boiler has broken, so that means no heating and more importantly - no hot water, so no showers! i know i managed in india with cold ones but it was at least warm there, its flippin freezing here! apparently the guy should be coming out tomorrow so ive gotta put up with another cold night in bed and then an even worse trying to get out of bed in the morning! brrrr!

anyways gotta go need to do lots of work. just a quick little update!

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...
