2 more crossed off my bucket list

Today I managed to cross two more activities off my bucket list and they were paint balling and archery. I went with two of my good friends Albertine and Andrew, we had an awesome day even though we got some war wounds. Out of the three of us poor Albertine come off worse she got hit in the head, chest and neck, I didn't come off to bad few shots to the knee, leg (thanks to Andrew although his legs were shot to pieces by the end of our sixth game). On our last game I only had a few balls left so thought I would really go for it, I tried to get closer and make my balls count however with a water logged field I managed to slip fall forward and got shot in head, shoulder and side, so I ended up huddled behind some tyres trying to hit the other team and I am pretty sure I hit the Marshall instead seems as I suddenly heard, 'You in the far corner, don't blind shoot!' oops my bad :)
After paint balling we were filthy but we decided to go and play a round of Archery, we had 40 arrows each and shot the hell out of the target course. After lunch we headed home and we had a really great day out.

Now I know I haven't update on Shelby for ages so here goes, she is now over a year old, and huge I can't believe how much she has grown since we first got her. She was spoilt rotten at Christmas everyone in the family brought her a present so she ended up with more then us kids.
She was a little poorly this morning but she has perked up as the day has gone on, now she is in the land of nod in her bed

Supermarket Sweep

So I had today off and I didn't really do much during the day apart from bit of exercise for my new healthy living and went to tesco to get some odd bits. I then spent some time catching up on TV that I had missed this past week then a quick nap before I headed out to have dinner with my best friend Nicola and we went to table table which is a newish bar/restaurant.
It was dead quiet in there so we managed to get a good table and had a lovely meal while we caught up on loads of gossip and planning new adventures for the year.
As of late we seem to be obsessed with supermarkets so we headed down to our local Tesco and spent ages looking around for some crazy awesome bits

365 :)

Just a quick one, I have started a new blog called 366, basically I take a photo everyday for a year and post it daily on my blog. It would have been 365 however this year is a leap year.
My link is here

My amazing best friend is also taking part in this project and her blog is helloitsnicola check it out it rocks! :)

2012 is here, but goodbye 2011 which was a great year

So 2012 has finally arrived, however I am a little sad to see 2011 go as I have had a great year. I've had so many amazing adventures but hopefully this year I will have more.

The highlight's of 2011 for me were:

Going to the titanic exhibition,  this was a awesome present from my great friend to go and see this in London.

I went to the magical Disneyland Paris in July and to say I had an amazing time word's cannot describe

I then got to meet various Harry Potter cast and the awesome Karen Gillan from Dr Who, it was a quick 'hi' and then autograph but she was lovely at the London Film and Comic Con

Then another convention was the London Media Show at Earl's court where I met Eve Myles, Sean Patrick Flannery, Arthur Darvill and many more :)

But I have left the best to last and that is HALLOWHEDON, now this was the best thing I did last year and I am happy to say I am going again this year. I met so many amazing cool people who I hope are going again this year. I got to meet the one person who I have wanted to meet since I first started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Anthony Stewart Head and he rocked.

So they were some of my best highlights of 2011 but stay tuned for more adventures in 2012 :)

Holiday's come and gone

Just before Christmas I went out for a Christmas meal with my two fab friends, we went to Frankie and Benny's for a three course meal. We mainly got together so we could see each other before Christmas and exchange presents. I got some amazing presents from my friends, I love my tetley tea mug and I got a 101 things to do before you die book, it is awesome I have already started filling it out and was surprised that I had already completed a few of the tasks. We had an awesome night with great food and a good chance to catch up on all our gossip

I can't believe it Christmas is over with already, it seem to take ages coming however my three days off seem to fly past.
I worked Christmas Eve which doesn't bother me I love seeing people do there last minute shopping and the craziness, it makes the day go so much quicker - plus I get out of all the pre-Christmas arrangements at home like mega house work and prep for Christmas meal.
Christmas morning was great, our living room floor was covered littered with presents and we were all like little children waiting to open them. We were all spoilt rotten I got various items from a fab new bracelet to DVDs, Cd's and smelly's. Our usual routine is get up get dressed and then open our presents, then we clear up and then spend the rest of the day chilling out and watching movies and playing games.

With not many days till the new year I am slowly getting excited because there are a few changes happening. I am starting a new blog called 365 which some of you reading might now what it is however if you don't then check back on the 1st of January to find out :)  At the end of January it is my birthday and I have managed to book the week off I have got a few things planned I am thinking either London Dungeon or Madame Tussuad's. I am also off to the Panto soon I can't wait it has been years since I last went.

Eleven days to go!!!!!!!!!!

Everyday I am getting more and more excited, I have finally finished all my Christmas shopping and have wrapped it all up. I know I am sad but I love wrapping up presents, I cannot wait to hand them out to everyone and see the look on there face, that is the part of Christmas I love the most - giving presents.
The next week is going to be crazy with work and family trying to fit everyone in and see them before the big day.
Part of me is also really excited by next year coming round as my friend and me are looking to move out and get a geek house together. I am really excited as I am now at the age where I should be out in the world making my own way and fending for myself. Plus there maybe a few other new developments in my life but I don't wanna jinx it by saying anything yet so stay tuned.

It's getting chilly

 Now I am wondering where all the snow is but I must say it seems to be getting colder and colder everyday. Above is me and Nicola out and about the other night and omg it was soooo cold.

The other night was a Lunar eclispe however all I could see was this and thought it was beautiful

It's nealy here :)

I am a really bad blogger it has been a while since I last posted but things have been mayhem. I really love this time of year, but I always forget how stressful it can get, I went shopping last Wednesday after work and it was like supermarket sweep a mad rush to get anything you could possibly get your hands on. Luckily I had done most of my shopping and was just getting the last finishing touches but it was really crazy. Now all my shopping is done I can relax and just painfully wait for each day to go past till I can give all my gifts out.

I have my work Christmas meal this weekend and I am really excited I went out and brought a nice new outfit and love my secret Santa gift I managed to find after spending week worrying over what to get.

Last week I went out with my fab friends, Nicola and Jas we went to Frankie and Benny's and had an amazing night it is nice to just get away and have a good catch up and giggle.

So I managed to go to the cinema last week to watch The Thing, now I love the original John Carpenter version with Kurt Russell however I really enjoyed this remake. I am usually a little reserved on remakes as sometimes I think the original are unbeatable but I was surprised how good this really was and a few bits actually had me cringing and jumping in my seat. So if you haven't seen it or you are thinking will it be as good as the original then YES check it out :)
