New Years Eve

Mark was playing at DEX Club in Brixton. I decided to drive as I was a bit nervous getting the train and tube down there to be honest, I can be a bit too cautious at times. Brixton is not the safest area of London. Still, the club was really cool and Mark had the crowd bouncing away. Luckily quite a few of our friends came down to celebrate with us, I managed to stay wide awake with no drink down me until 6.30 am.

I wore a really different kind of dress - its a vintage dress which my good friend Sarah Jane owns. One of her friends runs a vintage label and she has a stall at Portebello Market as well as a rail at Topshop Oxford Street, and it is one of hers. Its more of a dress the girls would like as girls appreciate these kind of things more than guys I reckon. I matched it with gold shoes and a black and gold belt.

2011 - Happy New Year

Happy New Year!! 2011 is gonna be a great year for me, I can feel it.

So many things to look forward to, especially my backpacking trip round Japan for 3 weeks in April and a few more things that are too early to mention!

I have so many new year resolutions, like every year but these are my top ones:-

1. Become more organised and improve my communication skills, I'm rubbish with my mobile phone and need to get back to people more often!

2. Progress a project I'm working on and set myself deadlines

3. Get fit and lose weight

4. BLOG MORE!!!

Still not there with my weight goals but heading back to the gym this week.

Had a great new years eve last night, Mark played in Brixton at a club called DEX which was really cool and tonight we are off to the Source bar as he is playing with his bro and James Zabiela, dinner first with them all at 7pm tonight, looking forward to it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Rubbish

Yep I've been absolutely rubbish at blogging and i'm the first to admit it. So much has been going on....baby Luca was born four weeks ago, he's absolutely perfect. We ended up going to Ibiza, good times. At the moment Mark's cousin is over from Italy and he's staying with us for a couple of days. More details and photos of what's been going on coming soon.....

Summer is over

Summer is now over......

Winter for me will be about working out, saving money and concentrating on my career......then come April I can holiday for 3 weeks in Japan and look forward to the summer. I love winter I must admit, those cosy nights in and wrapping up warm.....but I look forward to summer again.

One of my favourite photos this summer...

Have no idea....

If we're going to Ibiza tomorrow or not.....!! Its 23:40 and I need to go to bed shortly but half my stuff is on the bed and the suitcase is ready to be packed, but there is now a chance that we will be going in October instead as Mark's sister in law has gone into labour so we may need to go later with his brother and not tomorrow. Hopefully we'll know soon as I am meant to be taking my stuff with me to work tomorrow and leaving early to head straight to the airport....may be i'll go to bed and sort it out before work tomorrow when we know....

How exciting Mandy is in labour...yay i'm going to be an auntie again!

Lots of exciting things happened this weekend which I'll post about soon :-)

Sunday Lunch

I met up with my Kent girlfriends yesterday for Sunday lunch in a lovely little pub in East Malling. It was a good luck get together for Mandy as she is due to give birth in the next couple of weeks. I had a roast dinner with champagne, mmmmm!!!

JAPAN

Mark and I went to Waterstones yesterday afternoon to buy a copy of the Lonely Planet Guide to Japan....we are off backpacking for 3 weeks in April so we have started researching now. So exciting!! We have decided to fly into Tokyo, drop some of our luggage off with a friend that is from Tokyo and then we will travel south of Tokyo by bullet train. We also want to visit the islands of Okinawa which look like paradise. We are getting really excited about planning our trip and we have decided to buy a map to pin on our kitchen wall so we can plan the trip and add pin points. We will finish off in Tokyo for the last couple of days and treat ourself to a nice hotel and Mark, fingers crossed may have a couple of gigs. Can't wait to check out Womb nightclub in Tokyo, which has been voted in the past as the best club in the world.

OKINAWA

Ellie Goulding

I'm really into this young English singer at the moment, looking forward to buying the album. Her voice is breathtaking and I find her so refreshing as she writes all her own material. Check out this video of Ellie performing on the live lounge on BBC Radio 1.

Friday Evening....

So busy today at work, glad when the day was over. Mark's mum cooked us a lovely dinner this evening, was so nice to be spoilt. We're very lucky as we both have mum's that are great cooks and spoil us each time we see them. Then Mark and I watched the film The Hills Have Eyes, talk about scaring the crap out of you before bedtime!!!!

That's it from me tonight :-)

Saved Photos

Some more great photos from Sunday....

Karen in Cayman

I managed to speak to one of my best friends from school today on facebook. Karen moved to the Cayman Islands well over a month ago now as her husband managed to secure a teaching job out there. She is so happy and life really is good for them all. I'm Godmother to her son Jacob (JJ). I'm hoping to get out there next year for a week or so, cannot wait. Thank god for the internet - at least we're able to keep in touch all the time. Here are some photos from Cayman, they all look so healthy and relaxed already!

Time for change!!

As of tomorrow I will be getting myself back into shape!!! Like most girls I struggle with my body image and weight but I'm determined to get back to my best self....I will keep you posted.

My weight aim is 8.5 stone.....lets see if I can do this

Ibiza Again....

Chilling with Kate after a hards night clubbing!

Yay I'm so excited, I go back to Ibiza on 14th September. Saved are holding a party in the Space Terrace at Carl Cox's night so I get to go with Mark, can't wait. Flights are now booked and we're staying in a remote location - be nice to get back there for a couple of days.

Mojito time at Blue Marlin

Me, Katie and Sarah Jane

I got back from Ibiza a couple of weeks ago. I went with my cousin Sophie and my two best friends Katie and Sarah Jane. I hadn't had a girls holiday in about 3 years so it was a long time coming. Highlights were DC10, Cocoon at Amnesia and seeing Grove Armada perform a live set at Space. Crazy days!!!

Partying in Playa den Bossa

Demi Moore

Demi Moore has posted a couple of photos of herself on her twitter account that she took of herself in the mirror with her iphone. It really made me laugh that she did this but at the same time I don't blame her! Look how amazing she looks for a woman of her age, she's hitting 50! Fair play that's what I say!
