spring has sprung!

Well in the cleaning sense of the word anyway. Adam & I had a spare weekend so decided to tackle the coal shed & all it's contents. It's the first time since moving in that we actually tidied it out properly. There was loads of junk in there including loads of sheets of broken glass from the previous owners & now it's all spick & span. We must have the tidiest Coal Shed in London!
After spending the morning moving boxes around & labelling things up correctly we took all the extra boxes that were half full back into the house to pack them properly (it was way to cold to do it outside). At this point we realised it was lunch time, had no food in the house & neither of us could be bothered to go & pick something up. That's when good old Papa Johns came to our rescue! I'd weighed myself that morning to find I'd lost 5lbs in 3weeks, yay, so I kinda celebrated with this pizza which I found out is 230calories PER SLICE! Argh! Ah well got another 6 days till I need to weigh myself again so need to get munching on that lettuce! After we carried on sorting for the rest of the day we finally crashed with some of the left over pizza in front of Take Me Out. Let the head see the pillow!
Yesterday Adam popped home to pick up the last odds & sods from his parents before they move next weekend. Keith was about to get rid of his old birdbath so we snapped it up for our garden. We must try to get our little space sorted this year (you know when we have all that spare time between working & planning a wedding?!), we've got quite a few little bits & bobs to put out there so hopefully it won't be too long. Seeing the birdbath in place got me quite excited to get on with it. After finishing off the coal shed & cleaning like mad people we sat down to the last bit of pizza while planning wedding stuff & watching tv. Can't believe it's Monday already though. Rubbish!

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...
