the happy little world of miss ktp!

i can't believe in a couple of days it will be 2009 and this blog will be 4 years old! crazy eh?! i wonder if anyone except my parents still read this?! well i'm back in london now. can't believe chrimbo is all over for another year and i won't be seeing m&d till April now unless they come to London beforehand. it all went too quick. was a bit sad to say bye to them on sunday but at least i've got adam with me here in london and i can't have the best of both worlds! greedy guts! before coming back to london mum and i decided to hit the sales which we dont normally do. we left the house at 9am to be in leics ready for when the shops opened but didn't really need to worry about it cos it wasn't really as busy as we were expecting. as we left about 1:30 it was getting busier so i think we went at the same time. it was worth the early start!! i ended up getting 2 pairs of jeans and 2 tops which was cool. i would have had more pairs of jean...

....especially when cleaning my teeth!! one of my presents from santa this year was a musical toothbrush! it playes scissor sisters 'i don't feel like dancin'' through your jaw as you brush your teeth! it plays for 2min then stops so you can time cleaning your teeth too if you really want to! hehe. another place noone really felt like dancing was hinckley. met up with michelle, mel & keira on christmas eve eve for our traditional drinks and it was as if it was a normal night out. noone else around was in a very festive spirit, none of the pubs were decorated with christmas decorations or played any christmas music. we were gutted! it was still lovely catching up with the girlies though and we made the most of being together. eventhough i was 'des' for the night (designated driver) i still ended up walking around in someone elses shoes!! i always manage to go out in comfier shoes and then feel sorry for whoever has the crippling shoes on. i wore ...

I’ve just got 3 days left of work and London then it’s lots of R&R until Jan! :D I really can’t wait for Chrimbo this year it’s going to be ace cos I’m not working at all and I’ve got time off! Adam and I are driving home on Friday for lots of part-ay’s and scrummy food then he’ll drive back on Christmas Day to see his family. Can’t wait to see mum & dad properly, not seen them for a decent amount of time since my birthday. :( Got to make sure I relax well tho cos in Jan I’m off to India in the 1st week then Florence the week after. All systems go again! Adam and I went to a college to do a talk all about the design industry on Monday which went really well and I got a free table loom out of it! I was dead chuffed! Don’t think mum and dad are though at the thought of having to store it "‘till I get space in London for it" hmm how about never?! :P Will be good fun to get weaving again that’s for sure. I’ve really missed it. Oh and the exhibitionist strikes again! A...

I've never been so squashed, bumped, pushed and had so much beer in my hair but still so damn happy as I was last night!! yup you guessed it it was The Gaslight Anthem gig at the Mean Fiddler! :D Adam and I made our way to the front and got there eventually after having a bit of a run in with a guy on the front row who'd obviously never been at the front of a gig before cos he shouted at me to stop pushing and I pointed out to him that maybe he wanted to tell the hundreds of other people pushing me as well?! That did stop him complaining everytime I was squashed into him so I made sure I pushed him a bit harder than I needed to! :P I managed to get on the front about half way through tho so that was cool! It was such a great gig again, tho didn't feel as intimate as when we saw them at the ULU where we were right on the front of the stage with no security barrier! The group still looked as if they were having such a great laugh all the way through and it was brill being a...

Yup that’s me alright! Had a lovely couple of days off with Adam at the start of this week for his birthday. It started off with us going for a tour round the Emirates Stadium (Arsenal’s home ground) and being taken round by one of the ‘legends.’ The guy who took us round was John Radford and he used to play for Arsenal in the 60s. It was really great getting taken round the dressing rooms, directors suite, pitch side and the press room while hearing all about his old stories from when he used to play. We also got a signed photo of him at the end which was quite cool as well as a little goodie bag. As if this wasn’t enough our next stop was Carnaby Street to the Vans shop to wait for one of our favourite bands, The Gaslight Anthem, to do a signing in there. And wait was what we definitely did!! We got there a little early to say the least (:P) and seeing how cold it is at the moment the staff took pity on us and let us sit on the sofa in store to keep warm! Other fans finally started ...
