The marvellous splendour of Musical Bingo

2011-12-14T05:50:00.000-08:00

I admit I wassomewhat sceptical when I was invited to Musical Bingo, mainly because it'sbingo if I'm honest. Oh! How sorry I am for ever doubting you Musical Bingo,for you are a truly stupendous entity. How can anything involving Bingo lead toso much mischief and debautury?! The concept is pretty obvious so I wont gointo detail, they play songs you cross them off your sheet. You also have torace to the DJ booth to claim your lineor full house so there is more of a challenge than usual.

Believe me it can get quite heated, elbowsare involved and pride is at steak. My friend has twice now thrown her toys outof the pram and given the death stare to the poor DJ who failed to check herline first, essentially meaning she missed out on a prize. Poor little CraeCrae.

But hold on, the fun endeth not there. Once your line hasbeen checked by one of the DJ's you forget all about remaining nonchalant andcomposed and hurry excitedly to the stage whereby you are showered withconfetti (If only this happened every time I entered a room) as you choose tokeep your prize (think novelty lollies and shots) or gamble. You might getgherkins, you might get champers (The gherkin was a booby prize btw, althoughnot to some-weirdos).

The compares are most entertaining, the tunes are bangingand there's always dancing on the table, a must for all my nights out. My experiences of Musical Bingo have thus farinvolved lots of wine, shots, dancing, shouting, much over gesticulation,glitter, non Scottish shortbread, glow sticks, bad chat up lines, meetingamazing new people and almost not being able to make it into work the next day.Perfect night then really. It really is the best organised fun Ive had allyear, hurry up 19th December. Plan your visit, you must.

Nicole Sherzinger single handedly ruining things for woman kind everywhere. Well done.

2011-11-20T10:17:00.001-08:00

Anyone else find Nicole Sherzinger bloody irritating? I feel like she's leading the crusade to take stereotypes of women back a century or two. We can see your sexy but do you really have to be so obvious as to sing songs entitled 'wet' and writhe around pretending to be all defenceless and pandering to mens stereotypes of what makes women attractive. It's all very unimaginative. Why not just be yourself and help show the world that confidence and originality are what makes someone attractive not shagging a wall in a bikini whilst having water thrown at you and pouting as if you've got a massive cock in your mouth and it's the best thing you've ever experienced. Bore off Nicole. And why pretend to be so much younger than you obviously are as if getting old is a crime. Ruining things for woman kind everywhere. Well done Nicole bloody Sherzinger

My concerns for the country: M&M's world

2011-11-05T02:36:00.001-07:00

Something terrible and most horrifying has crept into the tourist heart of London and is brainwashing all who go. Under the guise of a confectionery shop it pretends to be a place where all should visit, a must see on the list of 'things to do in London if you are a mindless tourist who has no more imagination than to follow the bright lights and end up in Leicester square'. It's a multi storey shop selling, wait for it, M&M's dispensers. Oh of course! Dispensers for our Nations favourite chocolate. Oh no wait, we don't even bloody eat them over here and they're owned by Mars, an American company. Well that makes perfect sense then. Let's all go to London and spend £20 on an M&M's dispenser to take back to our poor unsuspecting relatives as a gift from one of the greatest cities in the world, who hopefully question why the f*vk you even walked in the front door of the place. These fools are everywhere I see them every day on the tube. Watch out for the yellow bag of idiocy (of course I don't mean the yellow bag from the actual hallowed ground).

Would you rather? Hot gay men.

2011-11-02T07:48:00.000-07:00

These last months I've really come to love gay men. Who knows why? It may be linked to having snogged one of the hottest men I've ever seen, who was also gay. But that's another story. So, back to the amazing game of would you rather, which hot gay man would you rather be? Will Young, Tom Ford or Stefano Gabbana.

Hello Nails inc magnetic nail varnish!

2011-11-02T07:24:00.001-07:00

After waiting for over 14 months to receive some free nail varnish, I know - I should have stopped being such a pikey and gone and bought some, I finally got some lovely Nails inc. varnishes. Oooohhhh quite good isn't it. The magnetic stuff is rather exciting, apply one coat hold the magnetic lid over it (careful not to smudge!) for 15 seconds and voila, beautiful nails as seen below.

Yes the picture quality is slightly blurred, it's because I have an old iphone and as soon as O2 stop scamming me by pretending they were ever going to have any in stock while the 'free phone' offer was on, I'll get a new one. Bloody marketing scam-bags.

5 Things I couldn't live without.....

2011-07-14T06:00:00.000-07:00

1. Dry shampoo. I mean really, how good is it?! You can go out partying everynight and no one need know you're too lazy to get up and have a shower. Bit dirty but hey, that's just where I am in life right now.

2. Iphone. Bit boring and predictable but it's true. I can't imagine life without it. Would prefer it if it didn't break down every few days and could actually make phone calls buy hey, you can't have everything.

3. Fruit. Love it, genuinely can't get through a day without it. Particular favourites are raspberries, strawberries and pineapple. Yum. Although I seem to be suffering from acid errosion on my teeth due to over consumption. You just can't win can you.

4. Reading before bed. I genuinely panic and believe I am unable to sleep without reading a few pages before bed time.

5. Eyebrow pencil. I previously thought it was mascara I couldn't live without but have recently switched to the eyebrow pencil. It's crazy how many people are yet to be awakened to the power of the brow.

Important questions of our time: Will a WAG ever leave her man?

2010-09-19T08:46:00.000-07:00

Not likely! If you're stupid enough to get with a footballer who goes out clubbing and is regularly snapped by the pap with cheap & nasty hoe's, who then comes home and tells you that it's not his fault - it's the press that make him look bad because they need to sell papers, then the least you can be rewarded with is his cash. I'm reminded of a track intro from Dr Dre's 2001, which includes little gems like 'you knew when you got with the N*****that he already had a woman, but you f***ed him anyway, didn't you b****, didn't you!' & 'Mamma was a ho*, she was weekend p***y, she went an got pregnant, coz she was trying to keep a n***** that she wanted'

Words that should be banned....

2010-09-19T08:29:00.000-07:00

Jeggings. Who says this?! Actually my friend Gemma does, but I don't like it, not one bit. Now I have to hear it weaving it's way into daily vocab by featuring on a Tesco advert - truly tradgic. Either get skinny jeans or leggings, don't combine the two. If your legs don't fit into skinnies, then jeggings sure as hell 'aint gonna work for you honey, just back off. It's time to admit to yourself that leggings are your only weapon. Step away from the jeggings and never say that hideous word again, yak!

Just how bad is a bacon sandwich?

Is a bacon sandwich really all that bad for you? It it much worse than un pain au chocolat? Important questions.

What do your Facebook status updates say about you - mine say I'm fat!

2010-08-03T09:01:00.000-07:00

It has recently been brough to my attention that the majority (not all as certain people keep pointing out - bullies!) of my Facebook status updates are about eating and drinking. At first I decided I was being cyber bullied by my skinny friend and took great offence. When another 'friend' (I use the term losely after this incident) commented on the same thing I had to step back and take a good hard look at myself. I'd say 60% are linked to consumption of solids or liquids. Initially I thought 'shit, what a fatty loser, how embarassing to talk about food all the time!' however, on refelction I have come to two conclusions 1. Food is amazing, pretty damn interesting and definitely worth talking about 2. I'm not talking about eating it alone so everyone is just jealous of my socail life - ha! Actually I have a third one - 3. If I was paid a decent amount by my employer I would be writing about holidays instead but I don't, so deal with the food updates people. If you don't like it - defriend me!

Things you don't want to hear, pretty much ever

2010-07-18T13:26:00.000-07:00

1. The man from the video shop comment on how often you come into the shop.
2. Your boyfriend say your new haircut is 'cute', I think you mean sexy!
3. Your boyfriend say 'I love your tummy' - I think you mean six pack!
4. 1534 isn't that when you were born?! From a scrawny student who barely looks old enough to drink and who has almost certainly never had sex, unless with his dog &/ vacum cleaner counts

Why I love Vimeo.....

2010-07-16T05:38:00.000-07:00

How amazing is Vimeo. Very. It's just so much cooler than YouTube, the graphics are ultra effective and easy to understand. Everyone loves a big heart graphic don't they? Rhetorical. Reminds me a bit of pip.io (apparently the new Facebook - or one of them - not convinced but it looks cool, if only my friends were on it (maybe that's be cause I don't have any firends - hmmm)) Anyway below is a brilliant example of the quality of content on Vimeo, it's basically where all the cool kids hang out, not sure how I found it then.

Come on England - Rooooooney!

2010-06-23T01:18:00.001-07:00

How embarrassing will it be if we don't get past the group stages! Very. Surely they can pull it together for 90 mins. It just seems very unlikely after last Fridays performance doesn't it! Gerrard with his dodgy foot hitting the ball off somewhere into outer space, Rooney looking like a 5 year old who'd been told he wasn't allowed a Maccy Ds for his tea and the rest of them, well, the less said the better. Utter rubbish. Please, please, please be nicer to the boys Fabio, your X management tactics are clearly not working. Tell them you'll love them even if they lose (don’t mean it obv) and I'm sure they'll be good little boys. Roooooooney!

So what's the correct response to 'i'm just looking at your belly'

2010-06-23T01:18:00.000-07:00

Surely every girls worst nightmare, you've seen your 'live in' casting slightly too long a glance at your stomach area in the past week or so, when confronted with the question 'what are you looking at?' (in a non agressive tone I might add) the last thing you want to hear is 'your belly'. Shocked, I push it further 'what do you mean my belly?!' why did I do this to myself? I get a response along the lines of it's fine, I like it and I've put on weight too look. This is coming from Mr Terminator who has not an ounce of fat on him! Typical girl response, I can't help it it's in my genes, I want to cry, curl up in a ball and never leave the comfort of my own bed ever again. Instead I somehow manage to hold back the tears (well done me) run to the bedroom and put on a top to cover what I now imagine to be my humongous grotesquley obese stomach. Feeling pretty shit about myself I now have to sit through a day of being an internal emmotional wreck and trying not to think about food which, let's face it, when you have a desk job, is the only thing getting me through to 5:30! Pretty sure my time would be better spent on important issues such as how to solve the BP oil spill, providing aid to children in Africa and how bankers should be penalised but oh well, that's just me!

Souk Medina, Covent Garden

2010-06-08T06:07:00.000-07:00

So at the wknd I found a nice little place in Covent garden for dinner. This, for anyone who lives in London will know, is quite a feat as usually all eateries in this area are subject to being waaay overpriced, full of tourists and generally just not a nice experience. I have to say I’m a bit of a one trick pony and once I’ve found something I like, I generally stick to it, I’m just a bit boring like that! And for that reason pretty much every time I go to Covent Garden I go to Wahacca, which btw is amazing. It’s cheap, tasy and most importantly does amazing tequila and my absolute favourite – salty beer. I think it’s official Mexican name is a chellada, fresh lime juice with official Mexican beer with salt around the rim, delicious – truly. But alas I think I have finally found an alternative, is this what happens when you try new things?! Souk Medina. It‘s hidden on Short Street (I think) just by the Chicago theatre. You’re greeted to very authentic Moroccan/African décor and the enticing smell of burning incense, friendly staff and if you’re lucky, a belly dancer. The food is decently priced, I went for the Chicken, chickpea and harissa tagine, £12, tasty, decent size, brilliant. Everyone else was suitably happy with the food, particularly the veggies among us (those crazy fools, how could you refuse the sumptuous offering of bacon in life?!) so all in all good experience. I now have 2 Covent Garden eateries in my repertoire, marvellous.

Took a little trip to Polo in the park on Sunday in Fulham

2010-06-07T09:26:00.000-07:00

Took a little trip to Polo in the park on Sunday in Fulham, very posh I know. Didn’t really know what to expect as I hadn’t been before, all I was sure of was that there would be ponces a plenty and I wasn’t disappointed. There were boys in deck shoes with severely goofy teeth and floppy hair, the classic red or yellow chino trouser (seems to have transferred from Sweden – they were ten a penny in Stockholm), lots of long blonde hair – slightly backcombed, stupid hats, ridiculously slutty dresses which rich people seem to make look posh (if they went to a council estate and saw that much flesh they’d think it was a terrible show and down right common) much to the boys delight I might add. A strange comment from F along the lines of ‘there are so many defined calves here, it just shows you that these girls live in the gym’ - er what?! Plenty of Pimms and Veuve Cliquot , obligatory. To be honest I found the people watching the most exciting. It was quite amazing and much like a trip back in time to my Uni days at Oxford Brookes, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the poor souls but went with the first option in the end. Polo players were looking pretty tasty so there was something for the girls too. Managed to get a close up of one………

All in all a good day, worth the experience for sure!

Cheryl Cole, natural beauty?

2010-05-21T04:31:00.000-07:00

Is it annoying anyone else that Cheryl Cole is constantly refered to as a 'natural beauty'? She is stunning yes, but I'm confused as to why someone who is caked in fake tan, foundation, constantly dons fake lashes, has fake teeth, permanent hair extensions and, if Louis Walsh has anything to do with it, has had Botox, is refered to as 'natural'! No one can deny she is beautiful with all that on but take a look at her when she first started out and I'm not so sure she deserves the title 'natural beauty'?

My rant might suggest I don't like the girl but that's not true, I am a fan, I'm just not so sure she's doing much to help the younger, particularly female, generation. Fake hair & lashes etc, too thin, married a footballer,
took back a cheat - not exactly what I'd want my daughter to aspire too.

Oh the terror of jeans shopping!

2010-05-17T00:49:00.000-07:00

(Acne Jeans, Sweden)

I have £100 to spend on a pair of jeans which in my book is a pretty decent amount of money to be honest. The last pair were some All Saints numbers which came in at a very reasonable £50 (last time I was in there I picked up a jumper with a £250 price tag on, was it made from Rapunzels hair? I think not) and the pair before that were a whopping, not Wapping, £30 from the ever amazing H&M. £100 however seems to be the lower end for many jeans stores, £300 for a pair of jeans, no chance. I am determined however to find a beautiful pair for under £100. The most problematic part of the jean journey is finding somewhere that supports pig legs, big calves, big bum and a high waist ( I have been cursed I know), so that'll be nowhere then!
Understandably people with my unfortunate shape are often advised not leave the house, here I defy society and say 'let me live and let me wear denim!'. The next problem I face is that what in really looking for is a jean that will make my legs as long as Giselle Bundchen, my arse the size of Kylie's and a waist as neat as (enter name of someone with good waist). Again this is nigh on impossible. So what I have set out to do is acheive something totally unattainable, not only that, I have chosen to embark on this journey with a male! What am I thinking, wish me luck, you can see I'll clearly need it.

Turning the tables on dating

2010-05-11T09:34:00.000-07:00

So I've been dropping a few hints recently to F about how we haven't been out for dinner for an age and quite frankly, not getting anywhere. F is terribly guilty of having to spend a fortune on things in order for him to perceive them to be good, so far this extends to holidays, dinners and suits. How a Glaswegian ever developed a taste for such things is beyond me. So back to the date thing, I've decided to make a stand. A stand for all independent women out there, a stand for all the ladies who earn money and who have and desire power and want to make a difference in this life. I'm taking my man out for dinner! I'm doing it! No more moaning, just doing. I'm armed with a Pizza Express voucher and a newly replenished bank account, nothing can stop me now! Watch out world, I'm on a crusade and nothing can stop me. Unless the bill comes to over £50 in which case F will have to pay ;)

Ironing, a dying art form....

2010-05-07T03:59:00.000-07:00

A dying art form but a fantastic way to update your wardrobe. Who knew I had so many decent clothes. Why have I resorted to bootleg jeans and faded gap cardigyns when I could have been wearing something vuagely resembling fashion?! Well here's to ironing, we salute you. At least until all the creasless items come to and end, then back to black I go. Man, housework is hard, I'd never survive the 50's!

What to do with pig legs and a Betty

2010-05-06T06:25:00.000-07:00

Life can be hard enough when you have short legs but when the thigh area is a power house of unwanted muscle stemming down to a super sized calf with no gap between said calf and ankle, things can really get downright difficult. Winter months are passed in a delerium of ankle and knee length boots, sometimes teamed with an even longer wooly sock (I love nothing mire than weather cold enough to warrant a thick knee length sock, heaven!) yet as April approaches the fear is soon realised that shortly, boots will no longer do. Harsh times. As if the trotter effect were not curse enough I am also blessed with an unsightly bunion whom I refer to as Betty. Oh yeah, now you really feel sorry for me I can feel it but Sometimes life deals you a duff and you just have to roll with it. So what is a poor pig legged girl to do in these warmer months? I have still to find the answer I'm afraid. Today i'm sporting some rather dashing gold flat pumps. Even with gel cushioned soles added to the heel and some carefully considered tummy tucking and walking high I am unable to prevent the effect of a baby elephant hungrilly staggering toward it's mother who happens to be holding a Big Mac. Darn these legs, and you too are included here Betty. As if the inability to walk were not enough, Betty has to go and add her two pence by cutting up my feet and making them ache all day. What's a girl to do ey?

Roman Polanski's The Ghost

2010-04-27T04:26:00.000-07:00

To be honest I hadn't heard of this film until some friends said they'd been to see it and that is was well worth a go. F always wants to read reviews about things, I'm more about just finding out for myself but went with the idea of researching to keep the peace.
Apparently Rotten Tomatoes is a good review site if you are also a bit research intensive (get a life ;) but after trying this, BBC & the Guardian could I find a review, nuh uh. This was when F decided to tell me the Director is actually wanted by the US Government over a child sex charge! So no one wants to write about him, makes sense I guess. He's been wanted for 5 years but ran off to Switzerland to escape arrest and now Monsieur Sarcozy has asked big balls Barak to let him off. I like Sarkozy's ban the burka thing but I'm not sure I get this one. Anyhow decided to do a bit of Wikipedia research, the Wiki never lies (!) turns out he admitted to having sex with a 13 year old, unfortunately I couldn't establish whether he knew she was 13 or if like many a girl in my high school she actually appeared to be 18 or older. Decided that if Pierce and Ewan were willing to give the old chap a go then so would I. After all it's not like I don't listen to Jacko after his wierd thing with what's his name. Bit wierd isn't it with things like that. Anyway, marvellous film, intelligent, real, well shot, amazing characters and a giant step away from phoney American flashy blockbuster. I loved it and would recommend to anyone who loves a good thriller with brains. I'm not sure why but I love the wife character, she was perfect. Intelligent, strong, beautiful in a slightly unasuming way. Crafty yet vunerable in a suffering wife sort of way. For some reason I was really glad she stayed true to herself in terms of dress and behaviour when Brosnan was obvioulsy using Kim Cattrall for more than her PR skills, who wouldn't ; ) She was proud to walk around in a brown dressing gown ( yak! ) and jogging bottoms. Hmm maybe I'm realising why he was cheating. Note to self, throw away baggy, stained light grey jogging bottoms.

MGMT tickets booked, woo hoo!

2010-04-23T07:38:00.000-07:00

So happy I have tickets to see these amazingly talented people. I missed out last year, can't remeber why. Dragging F with me who being a hardcore trance fan, doesn't really get this sort of thing. Looking forward to him busting some dodgy trance moves (the old beating the chest & commanding the crowd are just some of my favourites) as were standing and I plan to be right in the thick of all the action dancing away to my hearts content. Unfortunately for everyone else I'll be singing at the top of my voice too. Must make sure F dresses properly, I'm banning the skin tight leopard skin tshirt. Not acceptable. I suppose I should leave my pink velour hoody at home too, I do actually own one, can't believe I just admitted that! I never wear it outside though I promise.

Apple's next iPhone, hello!

2010-04-21T00:55:00.000-07:00

So some Apple worker seems to have left the new iPhone prototype in a bar in the states. Cynics (and conspiracy theory girl, who sits next to me) would say this is all a ploy staged by Apple although all the Techies seem to be suggesting otherwise. Seen as Apple and particulary iPhones are rediculously successful I can't imagine why they would release a pretty much functional phone before it's ready to market. Their competitors must be laughing! Although it wouldn't take a genius to see what they were going to do next, the front facing camera is already used on cameras and it makes total sense with webcams and Skype etc. The improved camera with flash is desparately needed. Can't say I know anything about why we need a micro sim but, yeah, looks good. I'm sure people will be going mental for them over her in the UK, at least we have all the operators in the game now so their is actually a chance to get one. I have to say though, I wish we would get a serious competitor to the iPhone but nothing seems to cut it, us it really that difficult?!

Hmmmm politics (and a game of would you rather)

2010-04-15T01:25:00.000-07:00

So, politics ey. Can't really miss it at the moment can you. In all honesty I can't say I've been all that interested in elections before. I have voted but its probably based more on a whim or who I voted for last time as opposed to their latest manifesto. Whoops. Oh well at least I voted.

So this time round I'm doing my best to try and get more into it. Starting point, an article in Grazia followed by an article in Stylist. After Reading these I realised I needed something of a little more substance so I headed for the Sun. Not really. Being a bit of a loser and taking enjoyment from looking at websites (currently holding my hand in the L sign on my forehead, probably the wrong way round too) I headed to old Gordons website. Oh dear, what a pile of s***. Really, I know they're trying to cater for all so as to offend none but this is ridiculous! It's so bland I almost mistook it for, em, something bland, a bland thing. Conservatives the same, don't think I bothered with Nicks. Or if I did his was too boring to remember. Next I heard about the Labour video on You Tube. Only 2000 odd views so I didn't think it could be too good, I was right. It seems to have been made following the lines of BBC radio 1's news, basically it's for dummies. Looks like it's for kids although sadly this is probably what it takes to get a large majority of the population to listen, unfortunately these people are most likely not to bother watching. Bad plan Labour. Not too taken with Conservatives plan to reward married coulpes with tax breaks, bit old fashioned.

Then yesterday the old style of politics that we've all been waiting for reared it's head, Mandleson calling Cameron 'toffee nosed' oh dear. If you haven't cottoned on to the fact that most people in this country think that all politicians are 'toffee nosed' then your party is in trouble. In all honesty I feel more confused than ever on who to vote for but I've started to I guess I'll have to finish. Maybe the Sun I'd not such a bad idea?! Anyone got a copy?

Ok, so would you rather....(couldn't resist the gesticulation shots)

The Scandi pixie workman look

2010-04-14T05:54:00.000-07:00

Today Im chanelling what I'm calling the Scandi pixie workman (see boots) look.....

It's definitely a case of dressing for girls, F's face said it all this morning when I asked what he thought. He can't for the life of him understand why I enjoy dressing cute over sexy sometimes and why I take 'you look like a pixie' as a compliment, lol.

Surely this is just too bad to be real? I did check the date but it wasn't April Fools. Very odd, def. will not be gonig to the cinema to see that pile of bird sh**!

Would you rather eat raw egg or insect sushi?

Leather bag predicament, Help!

2010-04-08T04:41:00.000-07:00

So it's nearly my Brithday and all I really want is a new bag, mainly as the zip entrance on my existing All Saints bag is severly damaging my beautiful new Miu Miu purse, evil bag - it's probably just jealous. Btw, how heavy are All Saints bags?! I feel like I'm lifting weights evertime I sling it over my shoulder. My only pre requisite for a new bag is that it's leather and not as heavy as the existing one. Oh and it really is going to have to be less that £100 and their in lies the problem. To be quite honest I think that is more than enough to be spending on an unbranded bag, don't you? But can I find one? Well, no, not really. Of course I turn to the fabulous Kate Kanzier who have quite a few pretties http://www.katekanzier.com/department/A7B6B7B7-0C45-48A5-8EAA-C231BB9126A6/handbags, http://www.katekanzier.com/product/A7B6B7B7-0C45-48A5-8EAA-C231BB9126A6/0F192BE0-9703-4E03-961D-2CF2F9A712F9/sara.aspx trouble is I don't want to buy it online before I've tried it and they are too far away for me to get to in the day. Same problem with asos who have this beaut on offer http://www.asos.com/Asos/Asos-Premium-Washed-Leather-Slouch-Bag/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=834590&cid=8730&Rf44=342&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=200&sort=-1&clr=Choc
looks a bit on the heavy side to me though. I've tried all the high street brands and I have to say I'm disgusted at everyone using cheap materials that will break after a few uses and charging £60 plus for the priviledge, outrageous! The worst ones I saw were in Mango, tut tut to you Mango. and no don't be stupid of course I didn't go to Primarni - bleaugh. So as you can see I am in quite a predicament! How will I manage : (

Ok new exercise rules

2010-04-06T01:00:00.000-07:00

In a bid to participate in the 2012 Olympics, I've decided there are quite a few sqidgy bits that must be erradicated from this body before it can become the athletes dream it is destined to be. Well slightly over the top but you get my drift. Get my drift, who say that anymore! Actually it's catch isn't it, catch my drift. I'm eating yoghut from a used jam jar this morning as I had nothing else to transport it in, wierd huh. Ok rules:

Less cheese, pizza twice a week will not give me a fit ass!

Less wine, flat stomachs are not to be found at the bottom of a bottle of South Australian Shiraz, boo hoo

No more snooze button, will not ignore my body clock trying to wake me up at 6:50, getting up earlier will get metabolism working sooner (is this true?)

More walking, will get off at Warren St and walk to office, this would be more effective with MBT's but I'm not that rich and would prob look completely stupid anyway

Go for a walk after dinner in bid to stop eating so much crap after dinner, not helped by F chowing down on chocolate fudge golden crunch every night! Wouldn't be so bad if he had an ounce of body fat to show for it, bastard.

Healthy food at work, do not give into Nicole The Feeder, just eat healthy snacks and lunch

More hot water when hungry

Some pilates every morning

More dancing to music videos, always keeping in mind that a stomach and ass like theirs is possible

Ok, go!

Greenpeace step up with their latest viral campaign against Nestlé’s Kit Kat

2010-03-18T10:05:00.000-07:00

Watch the video below for a gruesome attack by Greenpeace on Nestle.

It's a great example of the action group stepping up with their digital offering. Greenpeace proving that if you want to make a point you need to make it digitally as this has long been considered an integral channel in the marketing mix. Digital is an essential element to any Marketing campaign and when harnessed effectively the results can be phenomenal as is being proven from companies such as John West (Salmon bear fight - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n4xXc25wPE), Cadbury's (drumming Gorilla - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AC-bxM35t8), and Sony's magic balls (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DrFY3H-u8w) to name but a few. Will you be next to capture the world with your viral campaign? A side note - really hate You Tube's search, it’s rubbish. Quite strange really considering it’s owned by the biggest search engine in the world!

Blaze-ing up the place

2010-03-16T02:00:00.000-07:00

On Saturday I took F to see Blaze, a street dance performance at Saddlers Wells Theatre. I knew if I told him that was the plan that he would never agree to it but once there, we would love it. I was correct, this is not unusual ; ) It was AMAZING! If you’ve been sitting in awe at ‘So you think you can dance’ and then deciding you really should be a world class dancer and that Online Marketing is really not the way forward, then you need to go see this show. The dancing was mind blowing, the choreography truly inspiring, the tunes absolutely banging and best of all it was full of kids (posh one’s mind you as a ticket was £38.50) so you could see straight over their heads to the stage. We then went on to cocktails at Chancery Court Hotel, unfortunately it was too early for the Pearl so we made do with The Bar, not the best atmos but the best Lychee martini I’ve ever had. I say that as if I’ve had a lot of them but that might actually be my first, hmmm, but I could tell it was good and will be hard to beat, I think, oh well I enjoyed it at the time is what I’m saying. Then we went to One Aldwych Lobby Bar, managed to get a seat yipee and proceeded to drink cocktails until we could drink no more. I even met the guy who invented my blushing Martini, lovely fellow. So basically thoroughly enjoyed F’s Birthday night of fun, maybe a little too much as it reads like my perfect night out and not his. Oh….

The Parisian criminal look

2010-03-11T01:38:00.000-08:00

Today I am chanelling the Parisian criminal look for my date this evening with the lovely Alice. I'm taking her to test cocktails at the Lobby Bar, Aldwych One in preparation for F's birthday day of fun on Saturday. It's always best to test poncy cocktail venues as much as one can before the real deal ; ) In a complete contrast I'll probably end up in my favourite Covent garden Mexican haunt, Wahacca for the food part of tonights festivities. I simply cannot resist the taco covered chicken strips and salty beer (i.e. chelada, best with Pacifico) if you haven't tried it, you haven't lived! Go today http://www.wahaca.co.uk/

London to Brighton Bike Ride For Alice, give, give, give!

2010-03-10T02:12:00.000-08:00

Recently a friend of mine lost a close friend due to heart complications. It was totally unexpected and the girl, Alice was just 20. Her friends are now doing their best to raise a whopping £15 000 for the British Heart Foundation by doing a bike ride. The best thing about this is that my friend can't actually ride a bike, as if anyone in this day and age cannot ride a bike! Bless her. And she's from the country! Maybe she got around on horseback or something? Anyway, losing the point, if you'd like to donate follow the link below.

Kate Kanzier new collection in store today! Hurray!

2010-02-25T07:54:00.000-08:00

Today is a very special day for today Kate Kanzier's new range is launched instore (leather lane). Unfortunately I don't work or live anywhere near there so I have to wait for the web launch on Monday :( . I'm pretty sure earlier in the week it said it was going live today but oh well, a few more days won't kill me. Having said that I am going to Glasgow at the weekend which may well see me spending the bag and shoe allowance elsewhere. Who will win? I do love everything Kate Kanzier prodcuces pretty much, unique, well made and not too pricey, go forth and spend (of you're in the area)! I do have my eye on some ankle high leather cowboy boots in New Look, a snip at only £65 (see left)

"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" good one Kate!

2010-02-23T06:09:00.000-08:00

"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" even though I can see why that is such an irresponsible thing for Kate Moss to have said I can't help but laugh at the genius of it. If I was skinny I think I'd have to have a tee shirt with those immortal words printed across my bony chest. I can't help but walk around places such as the lovely Leicester and Liverpool city centres ( I get to go to all the glam places!) and look at all the grotesquely obese people and think 'hey, take a leaf out of Kates book!'. It does seem like the Uk is in a bit of a strange place when it comes to bodies, at one end of the spectrum we seem to have a derth of teenage girls, with boys now starting to join in as well, who are literally dying to become skinny. Starving themselves to fit in with the way many females are portrayed in the media, model like clothes horses with long gangly arms and legs. At the opposite end of the spectrum we have obese toddlers brought up by obese parents who moan about not being able to find clothes in a size 26 (although ASOS has now given them a helping hand with it's Curve range, if you're interested). I'm left wondering if there are indeed any normal people left in the world, seen as every time I go to H&M all the 10's are long gone, I'm presuming there must be. I find both extremes quite disturbing but what's the solution?

Channelling cafe chic darling

2010-02-03T04:28:00.001-08:00

I'm totally reliving the student diet days at the moment. This year I'm channelling the caf menu which includes gourmet broad beans drizzled in a rich orange jus on wholegrain rustic pain and fromage de cheddar on a bed of plum tomato tapenade on French campagne bread.

These dishes may be more familiar to you under the more popular names of beans on toast & cheese and ketchup on toast! Cheap, low in fat and calories and damn tasty, embrace cafe chic darlings, it's all the rage!

Would you rather....Andy Murray or Roger Federer?

2010-01-31T13:57:00.000-08:00

Oh poor little Andy Murray, he just can't quite seem to do it can he. He keeps on going and going but it's always close but no cigar. He's got more about him that wooden old Tim Henman but he's not really all that is he. Oh well, he'll keep trying and one day I'm sure he'll win something and then next time he'll just lose again and everyone will have forgotten about the win but he'll cling to it for dear life. Breathe.

Ok so would you rather.....

or?

Glee, really?

2010-01-27T02:31:00.003-08:00

Ok so last week I wasn't really getting Glee but after persisting to endure a 2nd episode I'm kind of warming to it. It's not what I expected, I was hoping for slightly more attractive people to be honest. In particular I was hoping for Zac Efron the 2nd to emerge, maybe a couple of years older than Zac 1st so I don't need to worry that I'm breaking some kind of law. But alas I am severely let down and confronted with some geeky, tall but with no swagger whatsoever, boy who can't control his erm, self?! Rubbish. I like the girl though and all the singing and dancing, which in essence is the basis for the show! Overall I’m a fan. But I think I'd prefer it to merge with 90210 & gossip girl. Although as with most American series’ I’ll be hooked after a few more episodes. How do they do that?!

Beginning to see the benefit of not drinking, at last!

2010-01-25T05:38:00.000-08:00

Ok now I'm seeing the benefit of all this non drinking, it means you can be bothered to do loads of exercise! Tuesday went to the gym, yesterday yoga, tonight trying out the new Strictly come dancing class! So excited about this. I love dancing, it's in my top 3 things to do (dancing, laughing & having sex if you must know). I'm in total agrement of last weeks Stylist magazine article on why dancing makes you happy. It's an amazing way to release endorphins and keep fit. I've even started talking to people in my Zumba class on Saturday mornings, which im very proud of as I usually come accross as quite a moody b**ch at 9:30 on a Saturday morning. When someone praises my dancing skills however, I can't resist liking them, I've found a friend for life there ;)

Reckon this will be me soon.

Oh no wait I had a chocolate chip cookie last night, damn it!

Would you rather....

2010-01-24T10:27:00.000-08:00

ok this is an occassion when you can say neither isn't it? No! Ok then Jonas. Is it jsut me that thinks Alex Reid is one of the ugliest men alive? Please say there are more sain people out there!

Culture and making real life art at Tate Modern's Pop Life

2010-01-21T01:33:00.000-08:00

Decided to get a bit of culture in at the wknd. This is what you do when you don't drink! So anyway finally made it to Tate Moderns Pop Life. To be honest it was a little disappointing, as always there were hoards of stupid people who seem to think it's ok to stand right in front of the piece, when everyone else has respectfully stood a few feet back. More annoyingly I'd seen the majority of the pieces for free in various galleries around the world. They'd even put old Andy’s self portrait in there which is usually, or used to be anyway, displayed for free upstairs! This time however, I paid £12.50 for the privilege, bargain. I was however inspired by the two real life twins (part of a Hirst piece I think), to make my own art with my good friend Alice in the Keith Haring room, check it out......

I don't drink therefore I'm boring!

2010-01-19T05:42:00.000-08:00

So for January I'm not really drinking, when I say not really I mean I had a glass of wine last night instead of half a bottle and at the wknd I had one gin & tonic on sat and a glass of wine on sun. After Decembers exploits that makes me look t total. Sorry poor body for all the binging in December :( please don't age me! So anyway now I don't drink alcohol, really, or caffine, by best friend has moved out of London & I'm too skint to go anywhere so I stay in or go to the gym, erm - I'm boring! How did that happen?! I'm totally BORING. Thing is I'm alright about it. I'm enjoying getting up and not feeling hungover, food cravings are massively down without the caffine and I seem to have more cash to last the month, not bad huh. I give it two more weeks ;) life is for living afterall. But after all that (sort of) clean living I've still managed to get a bloody cold sore, HATE them so much. Paper bag please!

I can't resist another game of Would You Rather?

2010-01-13T14:28:00.000-08:00

Ok, now this is a real tough one for me, the Ultimate Bond, Daniel Craig or the ultimate erm, Spook? Rupert Penry-Jones (apparently nicknamed, Pendulum-Jones in the industry - even better!) Both amazingly sexy at all times, appart from when Daniel played that wierd monk guy in Elizabeth (I think?) but we'll forget about that. Hmmmm, who to chose......
or ? Slightly unfair pictures?!

The best cocktail ever

2010-01-12T13:36:00.000-08:00

I am definitely a lover of cocktails. I love the taste, I love the associations that go with it; classic glamour, luscious surroundings, devil may care attitude, a little bit sexy and best of all- expense! I hate fake cocktails, cocktails you get on crappy holidays, in pub type watering holes and it's even worse when you think the bar you're in is decent and then bam! Out comes the rubbish cocktail. Any pre mixed ingredients going in to your glass should indicate for you immediately call halt! To the bar tender and run, run for your life I tell you! Preferably in the direction of a cocktail bar worth it's salt, be@one is always a good shout. However the best cocktail I have ever consumed to date, I am however always open to offers, was a poorly named 'oh my dog' is Paris very own Buddah bar. You just need to see the ingredients to know it's something a little bit special; Bulldog gin infused with white pepper, grenadine, rose cordial, lime, bitter truth lemonade.

See! The taste was everything I could wish for in a drink, light and crisp, fruity, unusual flavours, with a slight kick of pepper to top it all off. Mmmm, why am I having an alcohol free January again?!

Loving 90210's Naomi, wondering if it's possible to be that skinny?

2010-01-11T13:56:00.000-08:00

Ok is it wrong that at the age of 26 I'm totally in love with Beverley Hills 90210 and more precisely Naomi?! It's like watching a movie every week with rediculously attractive people poncing around being stupidly rich, marvellous. Everything I could ever wish for. I am never one to deny that I simply love attractive people. They're just more interesting aren't they. As for Naomi, wow. It just doesn't seem fair that such an attractive human should actually exist, did you see her in her bikini this week! Oh my god. Sometimes I wonder if it's even possible for some bodies to get that way. If I didn't eat any bad things, or any food at all more realistically, and exercised like crazy everyday would I look like that? I'm not so sure. I think I'd actually keel over and die first. Oh well I'll stick to watching and drooling for now. Mmmmm Naomi......‏

Ouch, first day back in the office has killed me!

2010-01-05T01:24:00.001-08:00

I think the alarm went off so early that I was shocked into getting up not really knowing what I was doing yesterday. Arrived at work only to discover I had a full days training, requiring prep work which, needless to say, I hadn't done. Whoops! There goes my new years resolution to be good at work! Can't say I'm too bothered about that as I write this on the tube at 8:24, I know early huh. I am a firm believer in not getting up before 10 at the moment and if I could petition for every humans right to 12 hours sleep a day, I would! It's a basic human right people! Anyway back to my terrible day yesterday. On way to training I made the foolish mistake of looking in the mirror. Why oh why did I do that to myself?! It was not a pretty sight I tell thee, dark circles, bad skin, rubbish hair and rediculously chapped lips and alas no tools or magical potions to correct any of these major errs. I know you feel my pain. Well fear not for today I have freshly straightened hair,unchapped lips and a lovely thick layer of foundation crusted over with powder and I look hot! Well not quite but it's a vast improvement on yesterday. If only I had a personal stylist and make-up putter-onner, oh and hair dresser to make me look like Cheryl Cole each day. At least I had a big sparkly ring to show off! Yipee!

Most unusual gift?

2009-12-25T05:41:00.000-08:00

Wow, not been too hot on the old blog posts of late have I?! It’s all that Christmas cheer getting in the way, baking, present buying & wrapping swiftly followed by the ceremonious ooh-ing and ahh-ing at the unwrapping. I even made someone cry (with joy before you ask) with one of my gifts, yeah I’m pretty good like that. Many a person has wished that one day I would buy presents for them, it’s a good rep to have, Mrs Generosity they call me. Actually no they don’t call me that at all really. So what’s on the complex & extremely intelligent mind of the Lost Little Blonde Girl recently, hmmmm. Presents! Well we’ve opened them all now, pretty chuffed. Thanks family. Most unusual gift received? A real genuine Reindeer skin, yep that right, Reindeer skin. Old faithful went over to Sweden a few weeks ago and picked them up for us. I have to say, totally love it! Is that like raising the firey gates of hell to animal lovers? I’m pretty sure it’s just like using cow hide to be honest, it all gets used. I love a bit of reindeer meat me. It’s not like I’m killing of rare animals or anything is it, I’m pretty sure it’s fine. Stella will still speak to me at parties, phew. You don’t want to witness the wrath of Stella, if you thought Paul was bad think again. Once our Stella gets going she’s like a wild animal! Anyway, enjoy Christmas y’all!

Is Sarah Harding a bit of a hag?

2009-12-20T06:34:00.000-08:00

I used to think she was the hottest of Girls Aloud but now I'm starting to think she's a bit of a hag. She always seems to be a little bit too pissed and out of control and as much as I don't want to say it, she looks a bit too old to be behaving quite that badly. Maybe she's just portrayed like that and the press love to publish the pictures of her looking a bit smashed, but I really am starting to think that Lilly Allen has secretly written '22' about her. Plus I'm sure Sarah is older than 27, I reckon she might have done a Nicole Scherzinger on us. Hmmmm....

Ok lets play would you rather.....

Christmas party tonight, how exciting.

2009-12-20T06:19:00.000-08:00

Christmas party tonight, how exciting. Apparently we have quite a decent dj playing too. When I day decent I mean house / dance type dj not some stupid radio dj like Chris Moyles whom I detest. Why do I want to listen to some old fat guy having private jokes with his mates? (who are actually far more interesting and entertaining than him). Wow, I really don't like him do I! Anyway back to the party. It's quite a big company so there will be easily over a thousand there.It's basically like a normal night out as you don't know anyone this means chance of party gossip, excellent! I can't deny that I love a bit of office gossip. Especially when senior management are involved. Someone was telling me that over 70% of office workers have snogged someone in their office! How bad is that! Don't get me wrong, I love gossip but I HATE people who cheat. To me it's the worse thing someone can do. And the thought of other people knowing about it makes me feel a bit sick. Let's hope that's not what it takes to get to the top here. Unfortunately I'm not in the office tomorrow so I'll have to count on my reliable source to feed back all of the stories. Who will tell their boss what they really think of them and who will offer themselves for a promotion, hmmmmm.......

What's with the rush to meet up with me all of a sudden?

2009-12-14T13:54:00.000-08:00

I swear my friends must think I'm dying in the next couple of weeks or something. It's just Christmas people, I'm not going anywhere! I'm sure I wasn't this popular on my Birthday, when I actually wanted people to come out! For some reason everyone feels the need to pack in as many "Christmas" drinks as possible. I have 2 nights free until Christmas and none free between Christmas and New Years Eve, mental. I suppose I should be grateful for so many friends but it's bloody expensive all this socialising. How am I expected to buy any presents for myself when all of my hard earned dollar is spent on Bombay and rose?!

Just another Manic Monday, well actually not really!

2009-12-07T09:35:00.001-08:00

Ah Monday, Monday, Monday how did you get here so fast! To be honest, which my grandma always said to do, I can totally deal with it 1. Because I have another 4 day week, woo hoo, jealous much, you, yes! And 2. It's only 18 days to Christmas and 17 until Norwegian Christmas, the best Christmas ever! Part party (said in a Glaswegian accent, just because). Roll on the rest of the week. I've purposely made no plans this week apart from drinks with the kiwi on Friday and keys face it Friday is never a day for exercise anyway. Over the weekend I managed Zumba and the gym, get in. All I need to do now is to win the lottery so I can go and buy a fabulous dress to show it all off in, scratch card please!

Mmmm Macaroon....

2009-12-04T08:43:00.000-08:00

How much do I love my friend who just bought me these lovely Macroons, er - loads! And he's a boy, see there are nice ones out there, rejoice ladies, rejoice! I went straight for the pink one which didn't disappoint. Mmmm yummy. Even though I have just returned from a jaunt at Shepherd's Bush Westfield shopping centre, trying on tight dresses, I don't feel bad for my Macaroon splurge and nor should I. After all Christmas is about enjoying ones self as well. I'll burn of those calories tomorrow. Now, to make the most of my afternoon off I will go and enjoy a large gin and tonic, before 5:30 - what a little rebel I am. Bad little blonde girl!

Oh and apparently the man responsible for creating these beauties is exhibiting at Taste London this wknd at Excel, Bougie Macaron & Tea. www.bougie.co.uk/

Hairdresser of the year touched my hair!

2009-12-02T12:32:00.000-08:00

Wow, just seen in today's Shortlist that Akin Konizi of Hob salon fame has won Hairdresser of the Year for the second year in a row. And how amazing, he cut my hair last time I was in the salon in Camden, wow! I'm so impressed by that it's embarrassing. My most amazing Hairdresser Holly was cutting my hair and he was in the salon and came over to offer advice before picking up my luscious locks (they are pretty luscious ;) and doing a bit of expert chopping. Wow, wow, wow my hair has been touched my genius, que angels singing and hovering around my head like a halo, aaahh aahhha aaahhhh!

Totally get the Robert Pattinson thing now

2009-11-29T02:39:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I totally, totally, totally get the whole Robert Pattinson thing now after finally sucumbing to the masses and watching Twilight. Oh my god he's amazing! I had read the book about 2 years ago and remember thinking it was slightly teeny and read as is it were an American blockbuster, well whaddy'a know - it now is! I can toally see the fascination with the storyline, vampires always manage to be quite sexy don't they. I think it's the whole sexual frustration thing of not being able to have what you really want and the neck being such an erogonous zone, mix that with a handsome, tall, very now looking young guy who even does that whole 'I'm a bit shy and misunderstood, broody' thing and females across the globe are hooked. Is it true do we all want to save someone? Are we looking for a man who is undiscovered, in need of saving, a bit geeky with amazing hair, body and fangs? Evidently so! Vanity Fair we thank you for your recent pics. Ahhhhh.....

A weekend in the North with little sis

2009-11-29T02:16:00.000-08:00

Yipee it's Friday and I'm not at work, in the words of that song - what a feeling! On my way up north to see my beautiful little sister. I do love a bit of northerness after being in the big bad city for so long. Even though I'm really a Midlander I'd always say I'm more Northern than Southern although I know my cousins would have something to say about that! My dad is a Scouser though so I reckon I can claim it. A bit more friendly up there aren't they, although it does make me laugh when I'm accused of being posh as I don't really have much of an accent. It is there though I assure you, just ask me to say bus or mum and you can hear it loud and clear. And then of course down here everyone thinks I'm a bit northern,brilliant. Can't I just be me? I don't class people on where they're from. Apart from my Scandinavian mum whom I refer to ad Scandi and my kiwi friend whom I refer to as kiwi Alice. Oh wait, it looks like I do refer to peoples origins for classification, doh. Anyway up to the north I go, overpriced Christmas markets here I come!

Possible Christmas party dress?

2009-11-26T05:45:00.000-08:00

Wow, imagine being able to wear a dress like this! Maybe not this year, although there's nothing wrong with aiming high ; ) Dress: Bordelle's Angela Cage bandage dress (picture from this morning's Metro)

Uh oh, it's party dress season, eeekkkk!

2009-11-26T04:31:00.001-08:00

Ok so Christmas dress panic has officially set in. With the best holiday season coming in just a few short weeks this can only mean one thing - party dresses! It's all too easy to get a bit comfortable when the colder weather starts to hit. I would never dream of eating butter soaked crumpets slathered in marmite in the summer but somehow over the past weeks that's all I’ve wanted to do! I had 4 for my lunch on Saturday - 4! Yes 4. And if I'm honest which I really should be, I then proceeded to get so wasted on Saturday night that I lost all composure and sense of control that I ate pizza and fish and chips on Sunday. Oh my god even typing that makes me want to go anno, well not really but you know what I mean. So now I am left with just a few weeks within which to develop the body of Charlize Theron in that perfume add. Totally plausible given that I'm short and was blessed with pigs trotters for legs. Wish me luck!

Strange grave spotting behaviour, erm what?!

So, I know the girl who sits next to me is a little strange (in a good way most of the time) but I am very concerned by her lunch time activity today......wait for it......she's gone with a fellow colleague to look at a near by grave yard and has taken her camera for them to take photos, erm what?!!! Excuse me. Why would anyone do this? Should I be concerned? Is she planning to take a more permanent visit? What is the no. for Samaritans? She actually said 'oh but it's a really beautiful one' from which I, very cleverly, deduct that she does this regularly. Very strange, very strange indeed. Just thought I'd share, no no, no need to thank me ; )

Mmmmm mmmm mmmm just found the most gorgeous pasta stand in Camden market (actually a bit before the lock - the one near H&M) the poor little man had no one waiting at his stand so I diverted from the Jacket potato boys over to said man. I'm very glad I did, he cooked the pasta freshly for me along with the sauce, jsut one portion for little old me, then I was treated to a mass of fluffily fresh parmesan, cruched chilli and black pepper. And all this for a mere £3.80, bargain I hear you cry! Yes, a bargain indeed. Unfortunately ones salary does not allow for delights such as these to be endured every day so it's back to the pitta bread and humus tomorrow, wah wah wah
