all about me!

Can't believe how long it is since I blogged last! Shocking! It's only a couple of days but it feels like weeks!
Yesterday I was treated like a princess (I know it should be every day right but hey a girl can't have it all!). I went to claim one of my prizes from the wedding fayres - a makeover & photoshoot.  I was actually quite nervous about what I wanted & if I'd be good enough & know where to put my feet, arms, head, etc but I didn't need to worry.

I was ushered into the first room where I had my makeup done. It felt really weird to have more than a bit of eyeliner & mascara on! They sprayed my face with foundation, did my eyes, blusher & painted my lips red (not had that done since I was in a dancing show when I was little!). This was when the celeb lookie-likie comparison started & I was compared to Billie Piper! I had it quite a lot all afternoon (from the people at the studio & from mum, dad & Adam!) which didn't bother me, there's worse people to be compared with! The next room was the hair room. I entered with thin, flat, straight hair & left with bouncing curls & volume! It was ace!
Then came the bit I was most nervous about - the actual photos! The photographer was ace though & did her bit to make you feel the best. I did lots of different poses & then when I felt a bit more confident I whipped out Adam's football shirt (that I'd snuck out of the house) & did a few cheeky poses in that! Straight after was the viewing & Adam joined me. His face when he saw the suprise shots at the end was brill! I got one free picture as part of my prize so Adam picked the one he liked the best & we got a little thumbnail printed out while we wait for the finished thing.

 
When I got back we did a few silly catalogue poses outside seeing as the camera was loving me so much! I can definately see the Billie Piper resemblance in the first one!

 
Anyway d'ahlings I better go & powder my nose! Ciao!

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...
