the happy little world of miss ktp!

I still can't believe we've not decided on an off-white yet!  Is it going to be Almost Oyster, White Cotton or Timeless?! What happened to a choice of white, magnolia or ivory?! Ttfn x

Johnny Cupcakes did it again - an ace acoustic show, this time with Less Than Jake. Thankfully there wasn't a balcony for any idiots to jump off like the night before so the show ran smoothly!  There were only 50 spaces up for grabs through a competition on Instagram...Mr P & I were jammy enough to be part of the lucky bunch...yay!  It was brill to hear acoustic versions of the songs I'm used to hearing as loud punky ska & looking at everyone else's faces they were just as chuffed! After the show the whole band turned up for a meet&greet so we got a few bits signed & a photo before heading back to our lovely new home for a bit more unpacking!  Phew! What a whirlwind week! Ttfn x

Well we spent our 2nd Valentines Day as a married couple in a mosh pit jumping & singing along to how love sucks! As you do... (Thanks to RBF twitter for the shot above!) I'd been waiting for this gig for ages & even though it's not Adam's favourite music, he did his husband duties & came along :) I love Reel Big Fish...ever since being taken to my first rock gig at Rock City in Notts in first year...once I realised I wasn't going to die & they played Take On Me I was hooked! Ha! I've never seen Less Than Jake though & I'd always said if they ever toured with RBF I'd be there...& there I was! After jumping around & getting covered in beer, sweat & goodness knows what else during RBF we moved to the back for LTJ. They came on stage...managed to get through a few brill songs then an idiot decided to jump from the 1st balcony into the mosh pit....the gig stopped...the band went off & we had to wait ...

As if out week wasn't exciting enough we had a date at the 02 with a Mr Frank Turner. We weren't going to go cos we were being snobby about it being a bigger venue than we were used to but I got itchy feet & needed a good old shout along so we thought why not?!  We only bought tickets a few weeks ago so we were right at the back...yes I was jealous of the people jumping around with standing tickets but I did my best to have a bit of a boogie in my seat! We arrived to hear the end of Flogging Molly's set which was brill - I'd love to see them again but in a smaller venue. Frank's set was awesome, hit after hit...I shouted, jumped (& yes even cried!) along. We got out of the arena in record time but it still meant we missed the last bus when we got off the tube...it resulted in a 40min walk home which was refreshing, but not quite what we needed after a gig! Better get learning them new time tables & last bus/train times! Ttfn x ...

I can't believe it...we're becoming one of those  off-white paint people... How can you buy this many tester pots that all look the same & still not be happy?! Ttfn x

Being the daredevils we are Adam & I have taken part in another of the most stressful things to do...we've moved house! Yay!   At 8:30am (on the dot!) the removal men showed up & started piling our worldly goods in the back of their lorry. I knew we had a lot but I really didn't expect that much! Yoink! We picked up they keys to our new house(!) around lunchtime, had a little overlap with the previous owners who showed us where bits & bobs were & then we were in...it was all ours! The removal men didn't take long unloading & we then spent the rest of the night losing each other in all our new rooms spread out over 2 floors! We said hi to all the new lovely neighbours before our traditional celebratory nandos! Home sweet home :-) Ttfn x

Surrounded by boxes last night I was having a break (but no kitkat *sigh*) & was idly flicking through Facebook when I saw THIS link to a buzzfeed list of British People Problems. I hope it wasn't my lack of sleep & frazzled brain that made this as funny as I thought it was but there were a few ones that really caught my eye..... I've done this so many times while my nose has been stuck in a good book....another one's when running for a bus & it pulls away as you're still running...you try & jog it off & look cool like you'd never wanted that bus in the first place. Mug. I hate this....it's only happened to me twice but both times it resulted in me paying full price for something I hated then going to another hairdressers to get it sorted out & having to pay again! Adam claims he's indifferent too....hmmmm no comment! This used to be me till I moved to London...now I just go hell for leather if anyone ...

Yesterday was a sad day...my little toasty maker that has seen me through many a drunk/tired night gave up the ghost *sigh* While packing up the house we decided on a baked bean & cheese wonder & ended up with a disaster on a plate...such a shame! I was even more gutted I didn't get to make my banana & nutella (which I'd bought especially!) toasty for desert...nooo! Anyways onwards & upwards...a new house calls for a new shiny toasty maker. It won't be long till I'm back on the fish finger & cheese culinary delights once again! Who says once a student always a student?! Tfn x
