Good luck Georgia

A little girl whom I believe is being a superstar is having her hair cut in the next couple of weeks but this isn't about fashion, its about the love a little girl has for others around her.
Isn't she beautiful? 

Georgia is raising money for the Little Princess Trust who will be turning her beautiful long hair into a wig for a little girl less fortunate than her. This cost about £350 so this is her target but any further donations for this will be greatly appreciated. Please visit her Just Giving site to donate to this worthy cause.


As the cliche goes every little helps so please give and share this among your friends and family.

Good luck princess xoxo

Budapest... take me back

I'm fed up of this cold Spring weather, even when its sunny its cold and windy. I want to go on holiday again somewhere warm and sunny. Last year I went to Budapest for an impromptu four day break and it was lovely to just get away. The weather was great and the sights were beautiful. Of course I ate too much food and drank too much wine (alcohol was cheaper than soft drinks!!) and while it is the stag party capital (mainly because of the above reason) the architecture, art and culture was incredible.

Want to need sunglasses!!
So I'm now off to watch Secret Eaters while eating a Whispa. What?!? I know why I'm chubby, its glandular (maybe not)!!!

Jealousy is not a pretty trait but I am...

Now watching the Great British Sewing Bee and its making really jealous. I wish I could sew and had the patience but I am really rubbish at anything that involves straight lines or neatness or hand eye co-ordination. The bloke just described it as simple geometry but I'm pretty rubbish at that too!! At middle school I made a cushion, it lasted for literally all of 5 minutes before every stitch I had made over 2 months all fell out. At high school I made a kite (I have no idea why?? What use is that in the real world)and we had to take it outside to test it, it went up in the air, one big gust of wind and the whole thing broke apart and flew away! But it is really making me want to give it a shot to be honest.

Any tips??

Another thing I am jealous of is Claudia Winkleman's fringe!! I loved my block fringe when I had it but it was so high maintenance as my hair is naturally curly at that length. I really need a hair cut and I'm really tempted to have one cut in.

Really hope this series continues in the same vein, I'm loving it!! xoxo

Why did the chicken cross the road?

I have finally been to Nando's. I know, I know, what's taken me so long I'm sure you are thinking and to be honest I really don't know. It was lovely but the best thing about the night was chatting with a good friend for over 3 hours.

I have one bit of advice that I wish I had actually followed when I was younger and will keep this in my mind at all times: never give up on your friends. At some stage in my life when I was very entwined with my ex boyfriend I gave up on all of my friends apart from him (he didn't make me, it was my choice and in no way am I blaming him). Once we broke up I found it so hard to get back into my normal everyday life as I had distanced myself from all the people that loved me and only did I start feeling myself once I plucked up the courage and contacted my old friends. As friends do, they welcomed me back with open arms and I have never looked back. We all have our different lives and we don't see each other all the time but when we catch up it's as if we have never been apart.

Let me know how much you love your friends and some of the silly things you do together

Night chicks xoxo

Samba & Sequinned Trousers

So I was going to write about some of wardrobe staples today but completely forgot that it was my sister's dance show tonight and it has got really late! She dances for June Glenie's School of Dance (which I was a member of for 13 years, I was awful as you can imagine, I have no co-ordination and I'm extremely clumsy so I chose ballet, go figure hey?) They were working with the Strictly Come Dancing tour with Pasha Kovalev & Katya Virshilas and it was interesting to say the least.

The average age of the viewers was probably 65, 90% female and every time a male came on stage there was a palpable sigh in the air. Now I don't know how I have lived my life up until this point without seeing a very tanned man dancing topless with black sequinned trousers on but it is an image I will never forget and to be honest with the lack of men in my life its probably one that's got to keep me going for a while!!

And on that depressing note, night!! xoxo

I'm in love

So my dream man is a 33 year old married man with a child! No my life is not a soap opera, I am just in love with James McAvoy, a love that has only been strengthened by watching one of his new movies Trance at the cinema tonight.I have fancied him in nearly every film I've seen him in(the main exception being when he played Mr Tumnus in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe... really not my thing to be honest, can't get over the fact that he is a half goat!!) So while I'm pretty sure that's never going to happen a girl can always hope, can't she?








Anyways, what was I going to talk about other than my love for a man I have never met? Oh yeah, the film. Me and my sister went to watch this at Odeon cinema in Norwich and we decided to treat ourselves and book Gallery tickets for the first time. You get unlimited soft drinks, nachos and popcorn, get to sit in comfy seats with loads of leg room and have a nice little bit to sit in before the film and relax. The tickets are really not cheap but because I own an Odeon card (really good value would recommend to anyone), I swapped some of points for one cinema ticket so only had to pay for one so didn't seem as expensive (and I ate loads of nachos!!) The bloke who worked there must have thought we lived under a rock, we were so impressed with everything!!

**POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERTS - BE WARNED**

The film is about Simon (James McAvoy) an art auctioneer who gets mixed up with some criminals in an art heist. However once he loses his memory, they employ a hypnotherapist to help them find the lost painting. There is a lot of nudity (way more than I expected) from McAvoy, Rossario Dawson (beautiful figure, proper jealous!) and Vincent Cassel (also very attractive even for on older man with chest hair). I did get lost at one point, its very intricately layered but very enjoyable to watch.

Hope I've sold it to you and if you have any views on the film that you want to discuss, I'd love to discuss with you.

Work tomorrow (YAWN) so speak soon xoxo



P.S

The burger (pictured above)is from the Waveney in Beccles, it was delicious and its a lovely place, check it out x

Online Dating ... not for me

As part of my life overhaul (sounds very ominous, I need to think of a much more subtle title like "slight tinkering of small aspects of my life that won't be too scary or involve too much effort" - doesn't quite have the same ring to it though)I decided to actually start looking for a relationship rather than complaining that I never meet anyone while watching TV at home and eating mini eggs. You never know a beautiful man might spring out from inside the wardrobe!! I decided to start on an online dating site and after 3 days I've already deleted my account.

Now I have nothing against online dating, I think its a nice non threatening way to meet people and means you don't have to put a full face of make up or change out of your pyjamas, I seem to meet weirdos!! It probably didn't help that I picked a free site but I'm really not ready to pay to for it quite yet! I'm a cheap skate and I need to save up to go on holiday! (Give me a few more months of being alone and I'll probably be quietly taking that one back but don't judge me too harshly)

It all started off okay, the guys were relatively normal and then the later in the evening it got, the weirder it got. Me and this one guy were getting on well, having a laugh and then he said "You wear too much makeup" He'd seen one picture of me, a picture I personally like and decided that I looked like the Joker from Batman. Well thanks, you aren't perfect looking either!! I don't know if its just me but I get really defensive if blokes pass comment on my choice of makeup. They don't wear it and is only acceptable if straight after saying it they say something like "because you are naturally so beautiful" Pathetically romantic I know but its what I want!

The straw that broke the camel's back was a 45 year old guy from Thetford who wanted a young attractive sexually submissive girl for no strings attached sex. I mean WTF?!?! I'm all for saying what you want but bloody hell I just wanted a chat, a laugh and to maybe go out for a drink. He sent me a private message detailing you know what... and that was it account deactivated. I think I'll go back to the mini eggs and waiting for Prince Charming to break down outside my house. We can always dream hey?
