cinders did go to the ball (well cocktail party)

well the hunt for a dress was in vain, i found nothing and i may have even lost a shopping partner in the process! i was in one of those moods that meant that nothing looked right - it had too many frills, not enough frills, was too baggy, was not baggy enough.....i think you get the message! i'm not usually THAT bad at shopping but when i'm in the wrong mood and it's for something i don't really want to buy then god help anyone who comes shopping with me. adam's never experienced that before and probably never will now as he's vowed never to go shopping with me especially for a dress again! yoink!

when i realised i wasn't going to find a dress i decided to go for the 'narnia' approach instead and hope that when i opened my wardrobe i'd find something amazing at the back of it that i didn't realise i had! it kind of worked cos i looked in and delved to the lefthand side where i hang all my skirts and managed to find one that hadn't been worn out before and wasn't too creased! bonus! don't get me wrong, my wardrobe isn't like a walk in closet, it's tiny, but i still managed to loose things in there and find somethings i didn't know i had! needless to say the party went really well and i was quite glad that i didn't buy a dress specially for it cos adam and i left just before midnight cos we'd both had too much to drink! lame i know! :S

well it's that time of year again and for the 2nd year now i have a boyfriend for valentines day! :D this year i'm being taken to paris for 3days starting tomorrow so i'm sure i'll post when i get back, tho i won't make it too lovey dovey and bleugh! promise! you won't catch me being one of those smug marrieds!

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&#

Ladies what #ldnlunch

After a few deep breaths I plucked up the courage to walk into the Jetlag bar in Fitzrovia & meet some fellow blogging lovelies. I'd first heard about Ldnlunch On Eloise's blog . I'd always wanted to go to a blogger meet so I put my name down straight away. I was a bit nervous when I realised there were about 40 other girls going who's blogs were mainly about fashion, whereas mine is just random ramblings from inside my brain box but decided I'd still go seeing as I had nothing to lose! I arrived expecting to be early but there were already lots of people sitting down for drinks & food so I grabbed a drink & perched on a pooffe. I just ordered a bowl of chips (how adventurous!) but I did pick off the plates around me (yoink! Thanks Lois! ). There were mixed responses to the rather tentacle-y calamari (I have some hilarious snaps of Jazzy eating the tentacles but I'm here to make friends not enemies so those will be shared between the 2 of us &am

Londoners pt1

Image
For Chrimbo Adam gave me a book called "Londoners. The days & nights of London now - as told by those who love it, hate it, live it, left it & long for it" by Craig Taylor. After reading the introduction & before reading any more I decided I'd think about what London & being a Londoner means to me. Even though I picked out bullet points I still got a bit carried away so I'll spread it over a few posts so here goes part 1, I'll start with the one thing that I think of straight away when someone says London to me: ~ the tube is a huge part of London life. It's about sitting on a train for an hour & not knowing what any one's face looks like only their shoes, panic attacks when the train gets stuck in a tunnel without explanation, keeping left, standing on the right spot on a platform so you'll be in front of the doors when they open & also so when you get off you'll be at the exit to the station - even if that exit says no ent
