the happy little world of miss ktp!

Last week our favorite Cupcake shop that doesn't sell cupcakes hosted one of our favorite singers Dave Hause, it was a match made in heaven! I made my way from work as quickly as possible but knew as I joined the back of a very long queue I wouldn't make it into the shop where the gig was to be held. Thankfully the British weather was unsually kind & they decided to hold the gig outside on the street so that all 150 of us (the shop only holds 50 people!) could enjoy it. The atmosphere was brill as we all sang & clapped along. The crowd grew unintentionally seeing as we pretty much filled the width of Fouberts Place. It meant random people ended up having to watch the gig too, most people enjoyed it, a few people tried to start a scrap as they barged by, I'm sure it didn't help that the whole group of us started laughing at them (including Dave) but hey! Afterwards we had a chance to go into the shop....now come on I wasn't going to pass up a chance to...

especially when the seaside's on my doorstep! Welcome to Camden Beach! Adam, Elisa & I soaked up some late afternoon sun with duck breast sandwiches & Ben&Jerrys while sitting on the beach at The Roundhouse. We felt a million miles away from crowded tourist Camden & it was bliss, even for someone who doesn't like sand! Well worth a visit if you need to get away from all the tourists & fancy a beer in the sunshine in a relaxed atmosphere. I think if we go again we'll be a lot better prepared with beach towels & maybe even a cushion & bucket&spade! Ttfn x

...at Dalston House! If you've not had the chance to visit yet you must! It's brill! We queued for almost 2hrs for 4min photo opportunity but me being me had planned each one to military precision so we got all the ones we wanted in plenty of time! It was such a giggle! If you've not heard of Dalston House before it's a free exhibition by Leandro Erlich & put on by The Barbican (website HERE ). We went the first week it opened but it closes on August 4th so MIMO! It's definitely one of those little gems that make me love being in London so much! Ttfn x

Nothing beats when a childhood friends gets married. A few weekends ago it was Caz & Dave's turn to join the smug married crew & it was awesome! Caz, her sister Helen & I have known each other all our lives & although we don't see each other a lot now it's always like good old times when we get together. It used to be the three of us against the world, whether it was getting stuck in the nets at Twycross Zoo, setting up Domino Rally in the kitchen during school hols or giggling the nights away at Brownie (then eventually Guide) Pack Holiday we were there....I even think they were the ones to Christen me KtP! Another thing we did when we were young was sing in the church choir, the highlight of each month was the weddings (& not cos we'd get paid £1 every time, tho it did help!). We used to sit there before the service chatting about our own big day then once the service started we'd nod at each other if the bride looked really pretty & gr...

Howdy strangers! Been a while hasn’t it?! Now don’t go thinking I’ve been sitting around twiddling my thumbs all day…far from it! I’ve been a busy little bee & the fruits of my work can be seen on the River Island website HERE ! Whoop! Here’s a screen grab too in case you can’t get to the website….. I’m dead chuffed! This is all my own handiwork! :) It’s my first design that I’ve done everything on ever…from the button colour, stitch colour & styling to the little zebras that I sat there drawing during my first few days at my new job. Yay! So if like dad, Adam & Pete you’d like to join the Cool Zebra Clan (I like to call them the CZC!) get buying online (I think they might be available in store on Oxford Street soon-ish but can’t be sure). If you do happen to get one, or see someone wearing it send me the pic or link it below, would love to know how many there are out there!) Cheers me ducks! Ttfn x

In more than one sense.... Yesterday I enrolled in a gym! :-) my induction is on Wednesday & I can't wait to just get on with it! My last attempt at joining a gym didn't really go to plan so here's to a fresh start & a fitter me. I also decided it was time tiger my many rolls of film developed. Finally! Sorry Lou I know you've been waiting for ages! I can't wait to get them all back (all 13 of them!) & bore *ahem* I mean share them with you all soon. Whoop! Hope y'all enjoyed the sunshine this weekend. We had a bit-too-busy walk round Brick Lane before heading home & getting ready for the week ahead. Ttfn x

This isn't any old Titfer though....let me introduce you to Milly. She makes the most wonderful handmade hats & even offers a bespoke service for that something special. Check out her website & take a peek for yourselves........  www.millyspaven.com  ....my favourite has to be the Trilby! So stunning! If you like what you see & you happen to be in Kew tomorrow (Sunday 2nd June) then Milly will be at the Village Market or pop along to her pop up shop between 17th-22nd June at 110 Camden Road, Tunbridge Wells. Go on take a peek, I know you want to! Ttfn x

I had full intention of photographing everything from the weekend & sharing it all with you lovely people, but instead I sat outside in the sunshine relaxing with all my mates & enjoying every moment....so no offence but my blog took a back seat!  After popping into work Saturday morning (I must be enjoying it!) Adam picked me up & we set off for Lufbra. 3hrs later thanks to rubbish bank holiday traffic we arrived & started our relax with every one. It's really funny the way out uni group is growing, first other halves were introduced & now babies are creeping their way in! It was great catching up & meeting new (little) faces.  Saturday & Sunday were mainly spent eating big meals a bit too often & the rest of it spent in beer gardens & parks making the most of the May sunshine. By Monday it was just Sam, Art, Adam & I left so we popped into Leicester for a few odds & sods before dropping into ma&pa's on the way home.  While...

I'm back! Miss me?! It's been quite nice having a bit of time away from the old blog but I have missed it, so now I'm back! (You can all stop cheering now! :-P) Hope y'all had a good weekend? We went to a Eurovision Party & got very merry following the Eurovision Bingo Drinking Game! Yoink! We even voted for Greece - that's how into it we got! They really should have won! Roll on next year! Ttfn x

When I started the Blog Every Day challenge I was all excited at the fact I'd have little topics to write about everyday. But instead of inspiring me to blog more, it did the complete opposite & made me not want to blog at all. Who knew I didn't like being told what to do? (Don't answer that ma&pa!)! So instead of blogging every day I'm having a little break. I've got lots of lovely things to blog about but instead of writing for the hell of it I'm going to sit back, relax & blog when I want! Ttfn x

This post would go on & on if I started to list everywhere I dreamed of visiting (it would even include the moon - no joke!). Instead I'll focus on one dream that I've had for quite a while that by the end of this year will have finally come true. I'm talking about visiting JAPAN! Whoop! We finally figured out money & now that Adam & I both have new jobs, it'll make the trip more fun & we won't have to budget all our meals by taking packs of Monster Munch with us! We're both really excited & can't wait for our 8night stay in a country we've both always wanted to visit. Yay! Now the next challenge after Japan is to get Adam to India.....I'm still working on that one! Ttfn x

Not really got much to say on this one (partly cos I'm suffering from man-flu *groan*) but I'd say my favourite form of social media is Blogging. ~ Facebook's a bit dull now ~ Twitter's just there for when I'm bored ~ Pinterest I've never really got the hang of or the point of. So there you go. Thrilling! :P Ttfn x This post is part of Rosalilium's 'Blog Every Day in May' Challenge - see more HERE

My first job was a bit different to say the least. I was a Grave Stone designer! It was part of my work experience at school & while everyone else was stacking shelves or working at a desk I was designing images to go on real grave stones. I was a bit scared at first cos its a big responsibility & you don't want to get it wrong! I soon got into the swing of things though & I had a great time.  By the end of my week I had designed 3 different headstones - one with chess pieces, another with a helicopter (both that had to be gold leafed by yours truly also) & the last one was a painting of an angel that was sand-blasted first then I had to hand paint all the details. It was a great experience & the guys I worked with were lovely. Even though I only spent a week there I always think of it & smile when people talk about their first jobs!  Ttfn x This post is part of Rosalilium's 'Blog Every Day In May' challenge - see more HERE.

Anyone who knows me will know what this post will be about....PUGS! I love their so ugly they're cute faces & we (yes we, I've managed to convert Adam too!) can't wait to welcome on into our little home eventually, closely followed by a French Bulldog & maybe even a Sausage Dog one day! In the past I've had 2 gerbil's called Filli & Killi (after the Hobbit!) & grew up around an epileptic dog called Smee! Pet's are brill & there' nothing better than coming home to a little creature that looks up to you! Me, insecure?! Nah! :P Ttfn x This post is part of Rsalilium's 'Blog Every Day In May' challenge - see more HERE

Long weekend! Woop! & for once we've got good weather! Win win! We're planning on popping into London, grabbing a packed lunch from somewhere & sitting in a park enjoying a day away from computers & relaxing in the sunshine (hence I'm writing this the night before). In reality though we (well I) will probably end up waking up late, we'll faff for ages, think about going out then end up staying in our PJs all day! Either way it'll be a day off with Adam & whatever we end up doing will be perfick! :) Ttfn x This post is part of Rosalilium's 'Blog Every Day In May' challenge - see the post HERE

Although I follow quite a lot of blogs through Bloglovin there are definitely 5 that I look forward to reading & they are: *drum roll please* ~ THIN ICE  - Slink's been a really good friend sine Freshers Week at uni. She helped me to see that there is a whole wide world of music outside of Steps & Blue(!) & she (as well as Art & Niall) helped me to grow up quite a lot. She also introduced me to blogging when I was in India (so you've got her to thank for all these posts now :P) & made our fab cake topper for the wedding. Miss Slink, you rawk! ~ SUZY KRAUSE + THE SKYSCRAPERS - I managed to find Suzy through another blog & I love her updates & quirky views on life. I also love the fact that whenever I read her blog I say her name wrong in my head & I've only just noticed! I've always call her Suzy Karoozy cos it rhymes! ~ LITTLE BLOG OF HORRORS - not only is her blog name inspired by one of my favourite films/shows of all time bu...

This probably isn't the best heading for me! I always have the best intentions but they never seem to happen. I'm hoping in the next month or so I'll be able to join a gym down the road from work. I really enjoy going once I've joined but the problem was always finding the pennies to go. I've also missed dancing so I'm hoping to get back to that soon. Fingers crossed! So all in all this is my fitness routine! I have great ideas but they never happen, hopefully in the next few months this'll change & I'll be fit as a fiddle in no time!

Here was my Friday (bit delayed I know but the pub lasted longer than expected - nothing new there then!): *getting ready for work  *my tidy-ish desk  *desk getting messier  *drive home from work - why is there always traffic when you need to get somewhere (I was stationary at this time & not just taking photos while driving!)  *from now on there should have been photos of me getting more & more excited seeing Blue but I decided to sell both tickets seeing as no one would go with me! :S So I had to pass over my tickets at the venue to a really sweet German girl who really appreciated them & had a great time (according to a lovely tweet this morning!)  *drinks in a pub garden/carpark  *the setting sun, I'd almost forgotten what it looked like!  *heading home ready for a long weekend! Woop! Enjoy your long weekends folks! TTfn x This post is part of Rosalilium's 'Blog Every Day In May' see the post HERE . 

I love the way spring brings a fresh feel to the year. Winter is still my favorite season but I love the way once the clocks go forward you wake up & drive home in daylight (sometimes even sun if you're lucky!) This year I hope Adam & I can get outdoors & explore our neck of the woods a bit more. A few weeks ago when ma&pa were down we drove to a park I'd driven past to see what it was like & it was brill. It almost felt like we were nowhere near London - until we reached the top of the hill & were greeted with an amazing view of Wembley & the rest of London, all the way to the Shard. Wowzer! Can't wait to make more of that little gem in our neighbourhood :-) Ttfn x Click HERE to join in or see other posts from 'Blog Every Day in May'

As a way to get back into the blogging swing of things I decided to join Elizabeth at Rosalilium's 'Blog Every Day in May' challenge (check out the link at the bottom of the page, I'm using my iPad & can't work out how to do a link!) Anyway back to the task in hand: DAY ONE - 5 LINES: ~ I've been blogging for over 8years (is it really that long?!) & I started it as a way for my mates to see what I was getting up to while I lived in India, I never thought it would take off like this, in fact I didn't expect to keep it up for the 6months I had left in Banagalore! ~ I love being around people & being sociable, there's nothing better than a jam packed calendar full of exciting things with either my hubby, ma&pa or mates, or preferably all of them in one place! Perfick! ~ Music is a big part of my life & I know when I've not been listening to music much cos I really get down in the dumps. I have the most random playlists on m...
