Happy Christmas

It is boxing day today (as if you did not know) and I am packing my bag as I am going down south with my parents for a week or so ! I am going to try and get some internet time to post what I get up to !

On Christmas day my family and I went to visit my auntie and had Christmas there, along with my grandma of course. I just want to wish a happy Christmas to my family in Iran, Greece, Germany, Spain and America !

The sun is out today and it is a lot warmer… this means the snow is melting and this makes me a little sad. I have slipped over a few times and had to rush back into the house to pop my wellies on as topshop booties just do not grip! But besides this I really do love the snow. It is beautiful and keeps me standing at the window all night !

I went for a walk the other evening well it must have been about 10:00 the snow was falling really heavy and very quick, so a walk in wellies , pjs and a big coat was just perfect ! It really was a night to remember. I stood on my road looking up at the sky and catching snow flakes on my tongue. It was so perfect, I would love to go back to that moment every night.

I hope everyone had a lovely christmas !

The lady at the bus stop said only "Let it snow"

It is my last day of work today , when I get hom I have lots to update on and presents to wrap !
How are all the Uk readers enjoying the snow ? I know many complain its such an effort to get to work – I just pull on my wellies and walk to the main road and there is a bus, so it was not that hard for me..maybe I was lucky ! I really enjoy watching the snow falling, it makes me forget any worries as I fix on one flake and watch him fall to the ground !

I shall take my camera with me today so you can see what I do !

Really sorry for the rushed post…I hope you are all well !
I was also interested to know where my readers are from?

Anyway I must before …im working soon !

Another sad loss

RIP Brittany Murphy. When I read my friends facebook status I got onto google to see if what I read was true and sadly it was. I was and of course still am a big fan of Brittany Murphy and it is such a shame we have lost yet another fantastic talent and beautiful face.


So 2009 – You took away some amazing people from us, all with their own unique and fantastic talent.
Michael Jackson
Farrah Fawcett
Patrick Swayze
and now Brittany Murphy

May they rest in peace xx

Just a little backstage fun for you. Backstage photos and videos are fab, a sneaky peak at what is really going on !

Hiding in fur, posing on a snapshot camera, make up being applied, ipod shuffling, photographers with many cameras round their neck, hugs, set lists, kisses and hair cuts !
Oh -and mirrors filled with perfection!

Maybe I could live here with Mr.B


I went to the art cafe in Manchester … again. However this time I was with two friends from university, one I had not seen for a very long time ( too long). It was lovely to catch up, gossip, remember the old days and make plans !

One thing you should do today – Make contact with someone you just have not had time to speak to or meet up with ! Just send them an email, text, write them a letter or give them a phone call. I am sure it will put a smile on their face ! Sometimes we let our “busy lives take over what is really important.
Just go and do it !
