My time in Meerkovo

Call of Duty and Action films Vs Hollyoaks and Chick flicks

Living together is great. Our own space, our own home ... and new arguments about washing up, bills and what to watch on TV.

It seems you have to think more about the weeks food shop and making sure everything is clean for visitors.
It takes a while to get used to it all, but finally you can enjoy having your own home, being relaxed and buying Sky+ so you can BOTH tape your favourite programs.

Moving time!

Well it's time for me and Daniel to move in together! We have found our house, so now (after a holiday in Ibiza) we will be moving in together! I cannot wait, although we have A LOT to think about and buy!

My interpretation of Dan and me moving in with our clumsy ways!

We have been using ebay and Freecycle to search for good deals and I am going to a car boot sale tomorrow to nab some bargains! I will hopefully upload some photos of our new pad when I've done it up a bit. 

The Royal Wedding!

Well on the 29th April 2011 it was the biggest royal event for a while... Will and Kate's wedding! I wasn't too bothered about it but when I sat down and watched it on the day I was SO excited!!

WILLS & KATE

The wedding dress was gorgeous! and I loved the trees in the church too! Some of the guests hats (Princess Beatrice, Victoria Beckham and Tara Palmer Tomkinson to name a few) were shocking, more catwalk than walking down the aisle! I loved Tara's lovely blue dress though - lovely!

Another dress (the main dress) I have to mention is THE wedding dress. It was just as everyone had hoped. Beautiful, elegant yet modest. I'm sure it made more than a few people smile! Plus her Prince couldn't take his eyes off her!

THE DRESS

And finally... the kiss! Or kisses should we say!! To make it even more cute, the moody flower girl with her hands on her ears just made it seem even more down to earth and gave us something funny to remember.

THE KISS

(and the flower girl)

Everyone loves a fairytale wedding and a happy ending! I wish them all the luck in the world, but I'm sure they don't need it!!

The Morgana Show

"Sketch-based comedy show starring new talent Morgana Robinson who showcases her skilfully-crafted range of characters and impersonations of stars, including Cheryl Cole and Fearne Cotton"

GILBERT

Having watched the adverts for The Morgana Show over the previous weeks I was determined to watch it. And it’s a good thing I did because I loved it! I laughed out loud on many occasions, especially when it came to Gilbert. He is so funny. He is a boy who has decided to make his own show, filmed by Granddad with interruptions from Nana and appearances from his hamster ‘Gareth’.

I suggest you watch it if you enjoy a laugh and can remember spending time at your Granma’s when you were young and bored.

There are also many other characters, including some extremely realistic versions of Fern Cotton, Cheryl Cole and Danni Minogue.

Definitely worth a watch!!

Pretty Little Things

Just a quick one to show you my lovely Jewellrey holder/hanger...

Isn't it nice! :) Its really easy to put up (with a drill) and you can hang a lot of things on it. Although you may have trouble with earrings and really chunky bracelets. Apart from that its fabulous and really very cute!

Alton Towers

Review: Thirteen!

Oooooooh! Thirteen!! Despite the long waiting times, the 13 experience was a brilliant one!! We were in the line for 45-55mins, which compare to other people who have waited 2hours+, it doesn't seem too bad. The best thing in my opinion is that I had no real idea of what was going to happen! :s I suggest to everyone to go on it without knowing - if you can! Myself and my little (9 year old) cousin were at the very front and loved it. It mixes roller coaster fast madness with scary mary ghost house fun! There are a couple of very noticeable surprises too! :)

So to those going to Alton Towers... you better not go... alone

 

Book Review - The Host

Book Review: The Host

by Stephenie Meyer

"Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact and continue their lives apparently unchanged. Most of humanity has succumbed"

I began this book under the note ''it's a bit weird''. And it was ~ Very weird! But once the reader gets the idea of what the world is like in the book and who the characters are, they really get into it.

If you can make it through the first few chapters and get your head around the concept I think you will really enjoy it. The book is full of emotion and complicated situations. There are a lot of questions raised about human nature and 'what would I do in that situation' questions to ask yourself.

Overall I really enjoyed it! - it was easy to read (apart from understanding the initial concept) and quite an emotional read too.
