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!

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...
