London calling

Headed into central London yesterday to do some comp shopping & see what's around in the world of mens shirts. I started off at Libertys, had a look around carnaby street & ended up on oxford street right by primark (no idea how that happened!)
It was fun wandering round carnaby street in the sunshine & luckily it wasn't too busy. The shops were all looking good with their spring stock but I just can't get over how many denim & chambray shirts there are out there at the moment! Saw some great ideas, but most if all it was good to know that our collections for that season were right on track. Phew!
When I was on carnaby street I had to pop into Johnny cupcakes to see what they had. It's such a fab shop, tho the number of people coming in who wanted an actual cupcake & ended up leaving disappointed was quite funny!
So many shops had the royal wedding as their theme which was ace! I can't believe it's come around so quickly. I've not decided my plan of action for the wedding day yet. I was going to pop into London to watch them go by but I'm so small I don't think I'll see anything! So i think I'll either sit at home & watch it on tv or go to trafalgar square & see it on the big screens. I was hoping there'd be a street party somewhere but no luck so far. My mates seem to be mixed on how excited they are but I can't wait! This is my first royal wedding to experience!
I'm also so excited cos I've booked 3days off work & ended up with about a week & a half off thanks to Easter, the royal wedding & may bank holidays! Mum&Dad are coming down to spend 4days with us which should be fun & hopefully they'll get to meet Adams parents finally! Yes I know we've left it a bit too long! Yoink! We're also going to have a look at a possible wedding dress so fingers crossed!
I'm like a zombie this morning after 2 late nights if jiving! Oops! They were worth it tho, we learnt some great routines & techniques so can't wait for next Monday to see how many of them I actually remember (probably not many)! Becca's coming over tonight for jacket spuds & a gossip, tomorrow is the rock n roll bride party (can't wait tho Adam & I ain't got a clue what to wear!) & Friday it's pete's birthday that I've ended up organising (chuh men)! So I think I might just sleep through Saturday & wake up Sunday! *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...
