Glitter is the new Black

It's been a while and i saw steerpikelet 's meme post and thought why not

Gemma likes to strip for her footballer

Gemma hates modelling

Gemma eats tables !!!

Gemma drinks before filming the raunchy sex scenes

Gemma is a knock out in the boxing ring

Gemma thinks maybe procrastinating is the sorce of all my problems

Gemma looks like she might be calm, but that might be her family charm. There's chicken beheadings involved, and that spells magic.

(close runners up - gemma looks like a duck crossed with ugly betty, gemma looks like a Bratz doll!!! )


Why do I share my name with Gemma Atkinson!!!


x*x*x*x

Oh  my god!

Round about the same time as I started my new job. . . . conincidence? I think so.

well what has been going with me . .

been to a couple of awesome festivals, boith opposite ends of the festi spectrum.

Both equally as fantastic with different sets of friends, different music, but the same vibe throughout which was perfect.

Bought and tried out an huge gazebo.

bought some pretty new shoes, that i have yet to wear.

said hello to some wonderful people

said goodbye to some wonderful people

hmmmm

well it has been a few weeks of  . .  hmmmm ness.

not sure what parts of this come up on the Facebook link, so the reason for hmmmmmmmnes will stay private for now, (but do not worry my little interwebs friends, all is fine just small stuff is hmmmm)

went to the Planet Angel Crew meeting the other day and it feels really good to be a part of something so wonderful. every person that was there really cared passionately about PA and that is only a handful of people involved. 
I definitely want to get more involved (if only i could give up the day job).

Russ is off to Romania next week for 4 days, so planning on visiting the family at some point during the week and catching up with a few friends that i haven't seen for years. 

a bit gutted that i don't think we'll be making it back to Spain in June, it looks like it will be September/October now :(

but a bit of a pre warning, Russ' birthday is 16th June (Monday) and maybe possibly organising something a little nearer the time. I understand that Charlie also has her birthday on the same day and is organising something too. ATM Russell has no idea what he wants to do, so we may end up just going to *Chilled* or something down in Surrey. details to TBC nearer the time, if Russ ever does make a decision before that day arrives.

ION , International Dawn Chorus Day is May 4th, log on to their website and find your local gathering. you can also have your own in your back garden/local park etc i am planning to get up at about 430am (or stay up!) on Sunday morning and get a big cup of tea and sit in my garden looking over the park.

My nephew's birthday is May the 4th, i so want to nickname him Yoda from now on.
x*x*x*x

it seems to have come round quite quickly. 

we booked the flights back in November and it felt like an age away, so much so that russ and i were hoping to have a sneaky weekend sometime around Feb. 

But it is now the final countdown, T- Minus 23 hours until departure.

My sister is currently packing for herself, her husband, my niece and my nephew. But my 8 year old niece doesn't yet grasp the idea of *excess baggage* and is sneakily putting extra items in her suitcase. 

the travel cot and highchair are now booked and being delivered to our apartment on Sunday morning in time for our arrival. we've had the bigger boiler fitted so we can have more than one shower, taxi is booked and i'm finally packed.

we have had to book an extra case out as we are taking a drill to fix a mirror and bed stuffs for the sofa bed, there's always more things you need - and we still need to get some bean bags. 

well - here's to Spain and the next 8 days of sunshine and fun. we're hoping to go to Terra Mitica, Terra Natura, Mundomar and a boat trip on a glass bottomed boat, so that's 4 days sorted.  only 2 more days to fill, both of them possible just chilling at the beach.

well, here's to not being at work til Tuesday and to spending time with your family!

x*x*x*x

Adios for now

x*x*x*x

well again, it's been a while since i've posted as usual. . . . .

lots of things have happened, lots of things haven't. some stuff has been good, some stuff has been awkward.

but all in all a good month to look back on.

Just had my brother's 25th birthday,  wow what a weekend of hugs, snuggles, music, sleeping, dancing, talking, human jenga/pyramids, surrealness, new friends, shopping missions, awesome outfits. i am continually amazed at the love between each and every one of my friends. their genorosity goes on for miles. it's hard being out in the sticks as i would love to repay the genorosity shown by the MonkeyHouse. it is a truly magical place!

i am now trying to organise my 2 days off from work, with my dad's 60th on friday, moving stuff out of storage, getting my brother, meeting my sister, getting to my dad's, catching up with friends and getting quaity time with Rascal, it sometimes all seems a bit too much, i want to do so much but seem to have very little time to do it at the moment. and don't even get me started on christmas presents!!! but it is going to be FUN trying

regarding Christmas, i have made the decision, that this year and hopefully the following years from now i want to give something to people who need it. i have decided to give Ethical Presents . . . ie sending vaccinations for children in Africa etc on behalf of my friends and more besides. looking into it, it makes so much sense, you can send a cockrel to farmers for as little as £5, pay for them to have a weeks farm training, pay for a water tap to be installed in a village to ensure clean water for all those who live there. it's brilliant, so this is my plan. i will keep you updated. 

hmmm, Heroes is on tonight too. is anyone else find this incredibly addictive?

over and out for now.
