TTFN

I've had the most hectic week of my entire life. I've been working loads, trying to sort my stuff out to take to Leeds and my boyfriend is moving back home too (which is a good five hours away from my house at least)... sad times! I'll be leaving tomorrow morning.. I haven't even properly packed yet.. and will return on Monday. Apologies for this post being the same as the last but I haven't had two seconds to myself in days. It's forecast pretty miserable weather over the weekend, so wellies and waterproofs all round! Hope you all enjoy the rest of your week!

From Leeds Festival 2007: Lost in a sea of tents and dancing until sunrise...

Leeds Legends

Last weekend we just decided that a trip to the Leeds festival taking place on August's bank holiday weekend was completely necessary. My sister bought three tickets and sold them (at a profit) to us. I went for the first time in 2007 and missed it last year so I am super excited for this year. There aren't even that many bands I'm interested in seeing. I'm just hoping for some good weather, lots of drinking, trips to the silent disco at night and campfires.

This is one of my favourite pictures ever. It's of me and Nicola after I'd proved (drunkenly) that I could beat her in some sort of wrestling match I think.

What I'm not looking forward to is tent-warmed wine that has to be put in a plastic bottle in the car park. It's disgusting. Sticking to spirits is probably best.

If anyone is going let me know!

Role Model

My mother (who has been featured on this blog a couple of times before) and I were having a look through a tin of old photos a few days ago when we came across this magazine clipping. Andrew Collinge is one of the hair dressers with his own line of products out here in the UK (I've got one of his hair dryers and it's rather good), and back in the day my mum trained as a hair dresser at his salon. I'm not sure what magazine this came from but she was used in the feature which is pretty exciting! No prizes for guessing that this was some time in the 80's.

Below on the right is my mummy!

I wish I was that hot.

P.S. Has anyone else heard of the plans for Coronation Street: The Musical? How utterly ridiculous.

Heroes in a half-shell

The sun is shining(ish), Francisco (my car) is clean and Merry Old England seems like a nice place to be at the moment. I had a lovely day off to drive around with the roof down and go swimming at my Nan's house.

I've had a dreadful cold all week and today has been the first day it has started to ease off a bit. I don't think it was the dreaded swine flu because my constant sneezing hasn't been followed by any oinks as of yet. It meant that I couldn't continue with my five miles a week of swimming though, which is a shame.

I'm wearing the Primark rip-off of the AA shorts (I don't think I'd be able to fit in a pair of theirs, it would be too depressing to try) and a New Look mens Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-Shirt. The top was in the mens section and with good old student discount ended up being about five pounds. The same thing appeared a couple of weeks later in the ladies section for twelve pounds! Ridiculous.







I'm off to go and watch a some friends at an open mic type evening and have a bit of a dance so I'll leave you with these lillies - possibly the most colourful things that have ever grown in our shady garden - my mother was thrilled.
