New Gym Membership - New Motivation

 

 

I'm off snowboarding on Saturday so wanted to get in tip top shape before hand (which I say I'll do every year and never do!). I'm now a member of David Lloyd so have been doing all the classes. For the last seven working days I've done a mix of Body Attack, Body Combat, Body Balance and Body Pump! Feel much better for it and plan on doing a class a day until Friday - living the dream! The classes are great though and the instructors are amusing (not sure if they're supposed to be but it keeps me entertained). Lets see if I can keep it up on my return - I would kill for a figure like hers above......

Not That I Really Needed Another Bag But.....

It was just so pretty!! I loved the colour so just had to have it. Have seen it in a lot of the fashion mags so was suprised that there were any left. Lucky me.......

If You Want to Snowboard Somewhere Quiet - Go To Lapland!!

Spent a week in Lapland snowboarding and it was absolutely incredible! For starters, the transfer from the airport to the resort, Ruka, was only 30 minutes! The chair lifts were a stone's throw from our apartment AND we had our very own sauna!!! We couldn't really ask for anymore! The coldest weather we experienced was -25 degrees and I must say that my toes definitley felt it. It was so cold that my goggles started to freeze up on the inside....not good....But if you want a cheap, snowy, awesome holiday then I definitely recommend Lapland as a snowboarding destination. As it goes dark at about 3pm, the mountains are then floodlit until 7pm which is an amazing experience. The visability is actually much better at that time of night......

Marina and the Diamonds - Hollywood Acoustic!

This acousitc version of Marina and the Diamonds song 'Hollywood' has just been brought to my attention and it is simply beautiful. I don't really need to say much more but you must watch it! Oh but I will say that I blogged about Marina back in February 2009 so it's safe to say I was WELL ahead of the times! Marina and the Diamonds .........

Whitelines/Absinthe Editing Competition

More Snowboarding >>

My friend Timmy has entered the Whitelines and Absinthe competition where he's edited footage from 'Neverland' by Absinthe Films. It's absolutely incredible what he's done and fingers crossed this is just the start of things to come from him! Please view and go onto the site and comment/rate his awesome entry on MPORA

Snow Joke You Know!

The snow has certainly taken it's toll on me the last two days. I was at work yesterday when we heard that a snow blizzard would be heading our way by 6pm and at just after 5pm the first of it came.  We all legged it from the office as there was no way I was going to spend five hours in my car again trying to get home! I made it back 10 mins before the snow started and was so relieved! So today I was snowed in with six inches of powder and I haven't even built a snowman yet! That's tomorrows fun. But my Mum did find the time to light the outdoor chimney.....

Big Fat Quiz of the Year - Bring Back Noel!

Just been watching the Big Fat Quiz of the Year on Channel 4 which I absolutely love every year.  I got a bit bored of Jonathan and Russell's constant 'scandal' referral but once I got over that it was just as classic as ever. I do feel that Charlie Brooker was a waste of space. Don't really see the point in him being there! Rob Brydon was on top form with some cracking impression (loved Hugh Grant!) but there was a goth shaped hole in the show. For the Big Fat Quiz 2010 they need to bring back the Brand/Fielding dream team! Not only did we miss out on Noel's fashion marvells but I feel that Brand wasn't as exceptional without him. Bring back the Goth Detectives.....
