the happy little world of miss ktp!

Don't worry (not that you probably were!) I'm still here just a bit bogged down at the moment & my poor little blog has been a bit neglected. I'm doing the usual KtP trick of saying yes to everyone/everything & not thinking about myself & when I'm going to relax (or write my blog!). So excuse this post & how bitty it is it's just an update on my little world so far.... Last weekend was a perfect example. Adam & I drove to ma&pa's on Friday night then the craziness began on Saturday. We went to Lufbra to sort out the bridesmaid dresses (which are now sorted huzzah!), headed to Leicester to a Vintage Fair in the Cathedral (which was brill but cos it was kinda linked to the wedding I can't say any more about it for now), grabbed a quick bite to eat, met with the priest to go through what we wanted to do in the service, drove to Sutton Coldfield to see Slink (which was ace & muchos fun!), headed home & started to stamp the envelo...

Last Tuesday a very excited Adam called to ask if I'd seen his picture message. All it said was 'Johnny Who?!' I apologise now to all the people near me on the train who heard an excited squeak come out but Adam had just met one of our new favourite people - Mr Johnny Cupcakes himself! He was in town for the shop's first birthday party & Adam happened to bump into him there. I love the photo of them both (so much so it's my iPhone's wallpaper!) & he even signed a poster for us. If you're not sure who or what Johnny Cupcakes is then click here to visit their website. I love being in the shop & seeing all these confused people coming in wanting to buy a sweet treat & when they look into the units they're faced with clothing instead! source Unfortunately (fortunately for our wallets) we couldn't make it to their 1st birthday celebrations on Saturday (we'd have been a bit too tempted with all the limited edition thingys) but we did s...

Here's my latest update on my Marchphotoaday . * Up - this really is 'up' even though it looks like down on the tube escalator. * Fruit - seeing as I'm trying to be healthy I got these fruit nibble things from m&s, excuse the half worn off henna on my hands too! * Your neighbourhood - this was the day of ldnlunch so these lovely ladies are part of my virtual neighbourhood ( post here ). * Bedside - nowt more to say apart from the face one mate thought I had a photo of John Peel by my bed! * A smile - this has been on the back of our office door making us smile daily since it was spotted in the Metro * 5pm - my messy desk * Something you wore - it was a little chilly that day! * Window - through the train window on my way to work with the other window reflected in it. *Red - my dreaded budget book, but it's working! * Loud - W.I.T band practise followed by the gig (post here) . * Someone you talked to today - Adam, lots. * Fork - we had no interesting for...

Saturday night was the night London Town saw the mighty W.I.T (check out their myspace here ) return to the live music scene. It's been a while but well worth the wait! Seeing as The Standard in Walthamstow has now gone to that big music venue in the sky * sniff* W.I.T lost their regular haunt, but now a new regular is hopefully on the cards. The venue was The Artisan in Chingford Mount. We weren't sure how good a venue it would be seeing as when we arrived it was full of Tottenham fans who weren't best pleased at the invasion I don't think (there wasn't any sound check seeing as they didn't want to be disturbed!) but it turned up trumps.  The other bands had brought quite a few people & so the response when W.I.T went on was quite lively, they even had some trendy yoots hand jiving (crazy kids! :P). Considering this was the first time W.I.T had played together in quite a while they played really well & the good vibes from the crowd certainly helped the...

A couple of weekends ago was a bit of a wet one so out came the Lego to keep both Brandon & I entertained. He asked me to make a dinosaur & it started as something fun but then I got a bit carried away & took up the challenge leaving poor Brandon with not many blocks left for himself! I was pretty chuffed with my horse/dinosaur hybrid & so was Brandon by the looks of it. Oh to have the time to just play with Lego all day & everyday! Ttfn x

The next day we awoke to beautiful blue skies & sunshine. I don't usually post about what I wore (hence the crappy lighting & dodgy background) but I loved the fact I could be so colourful & sunny. Bring on the permanent better weather when I dress like this all day & every day! Adam & I met the gang & we all headed to the British Museum. Colin & Sue had tickets to see Grayson Perry (which we'd seen before) so when they went into the show we walked around the other displays. I couldn't resist getting another photo of Alan Measles on the back of his bike basking in the sunshine as well as a photo of part of the Hajj exhibition. I don't think they could have put two more different shows on at the same time! As we were walking through another room I just stopped dead in my tracks when I saw a really long display cabinet containing 'Cradle to Grave' by Pharmacopoeia (more info on it here ). It's been a while since I loved a piece o...

A couple of weeks ago ma&pa came down to visit along with Colin&Sue & by the end of it I felt my brain had grown a bit bigger at least! Our first stop was the Cabinet War Rooms where Winston Churchill had been during the blitz with the rest of his government. I'd seen quite a few posters advertising it & had really wanted to go & boy I wasn't disappointed. It was really interesting.  It was hard to believe that people had been in this rabbit warren underground, living down there in the narrow corridors & no daylight, they wouldn't have even known if there was any London left as they were climbing the stairs to get above ground again. In the middle of the war rooms was the Churchill Museum all about Sir Winston Churchill & his life which was a bit confusing to get around (so confusing we lost dad! Don't ask!) but pretty interesting. Mum even learnt how to do her emails! :P Running through the middle of the room was a long interactive tabl...

After a few deep breaths I plucked up the courage to walk into the Jetlag bar in Fitzrovia & meet some fellow blogging lovelies. I'd first heard about Ldnlunch On Eloise's blog . I'd always wanted to go to a blogger meet so I put my name down straight away. I was a bit nervous when I realised there were about 40 other girls going who's blogs were mainly about fashion, whereas mine is just random ramblings from inside my brain box but decided I'd still go seeing as I had nothing to lose! I arrived expecting to be early but there were already lots of people sitting down for drinks & food so I grabbed a drink & perched on a pooffe. I just ordered a bowl of chips (how adventurous!) but I did pick off the plates around me (yoink! Thanks Lois! ). There were mixed responses to the rather tentacle-y calamari (I have some hilarious snaps of Jazzy eating the tentacles but I'm here to make friends not enemies so those will be shared between the 2 of us ...
