familiar faces

November is turning out to be a rather chokka block month & we're only on the 2nd! I love having my friends all around me & there's nothing better than having an OD of everyone before Chrimbo & the new year cos something tells me 2012 is going to be rather busy to say the least(!)

On Monday Emhen & I caught up with Shal for a girly evening in her hotel. It was just like the good old days in B'lore watching tv & having giggles over a Dominos but without the numerous power cuts. Neither of us really wanted to leave & if we’d planned it better I’m sure we’d have ended up having a sleepover & chatted long into the night.

Yesterday I met Scary-May & we popped to Eds for cheesy chips (wedding diet?!) & a gossip. I only get to see her once in a while & it’s always fun cos we seem to just pick up where we left off & carry on being silly.

Thursday it'll be the old team Zodiac heading out for dinner & drinks somewhere in town. Hopefully we’ll not just talk shop & find something else to have a natter about.

I’m double booked on Saturday evening with an engagement party & a farewell/welcome home party (one girl’s going, the other’s popped back for a visit!). Both parties are with different Jive people & thankfully they’re both based around Soho so I’m trying my best to plan how to be in two places at once.

The rest of the month I'm getting to see the Lufbra lot for Sam's bday, Slink & Niall for a bit of Feeling Gloomy, the college girlies for a slumber party, mum&dad for a Chinese & hot tub & hopefully Ross&Ola for a Sunday lunch. It's all systems go!

So here's to a very busy, but hopefully not too expensive month (my budget book’s never been so full!). Woop!

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...
