Our trip to paradise

I have added the Thailand photos, think i may have added a few more than once! sorry bout that. Anyway thought i would give a little summary of what we did.

Its pretty far to get there! although i managed to sleep the whole way to bangkok - lucky me! so we took a plane from Bangkok to Phuket where we spent the first 4 days at the marriott, it was really really luxurious and we just laid around and ate alot and spent a ton of money!! We then got the boat over to Ko Phi Phi where we spent 2 days, there are photos of be modelling our new home! a bungalow near the beach with a toilet come shower thing! As you can imagine it was a bit of a come down but we ended up enjoying it! Ko Phi Phi had a very cool vibe and was more of a party island than Phuket. We then went over to Krabi and stayed in a place called Raliay which is only accessible by boat. Was amazingly beautiful there, so unspoilt with picturesque scenery wherever you looked.

We did a couple of trips one to Phi Phi Ley where they filmed "the Beach", and a kayaking tour too. Apart from that we really just enjoyed the sunshine scenery and relaxation. Id love to go back one day... :)

Check out my Slide Show!

Here are the Thailand Photos! Bare with it there are some really good ones further down the slide! We seemed to take a photo at every possible moment! Enjoy!

Doing Well!!

So far I have managed to raise £218 for my charity walk this Sunday. People at work have been more than generous and im really grateful for all their donations. The money goes to StrokeBusters to help stroke patients and ensure that Southend has one of the top units in the country.

Im happy I've managed to raise so much :) Fingers crossed we have sunshine

Back to reality

Our holiday is finally over, back to our desks we go. Today was pretty hard and I dont really know how i have my eyes open right now! maybe im over the tiredness. Our trip was amazing, Thailand really is a completely different world away. It couldnt of been a sharper shock of reality when we landed back to the icy breeze of London.

I cant wait to upload the photos and videos. I will be doing this at the weekend :)

Memories in the making

We decided to splurge a bit of money and buy a camcorder, its really cool the best bit being its an HDD one where you can download straight from the hard drive of the camera to your mac. I'm really excited to make some cool memories. I'll upload some once we've been away and worked out how to use it!

Im in love!

Id really love this new phone.. its soooo cute!

30th March - Pier Walk

Im doing a walk of Southend pier for charity, its only one mile but it is the longest pier in the world. Should be great to get out there and do something plus making money for a great cause... donations welcome!! :)

I need to work on being less messy...

The time has come for me to move out of home, gone are the days of spending my money on magazines, tiffany, shoes, bags the list goes on and on!! Ill have to spend it on bills gas, electricity, food etc, but there are some upsides. I cant wait to have my own space other than one room and the chance to be in London.

There are so many things to do in London and I cant wait to be closer to work and have the ease of working late and not having to rush home for anything. i also think it will be great to be able to make a life for myself! We have managed to get a really nice apartment with 2 balconys 2 bedrooms for when people stay over :) a lovely big lounge space and it also comes with furniture so its going to be easy to move in. Well maybe not easy! i have so much stuff...

Ive seen some lovely furnishings I would like to get from Next and John Lewis online, not sure how much money we have for these kind of things yet. We have kind of overstreched ourselves by booking 5 trips this year already. In June just before the wedding im going to spain with my mum and sisters for some sun and sangria to chill joeys nerves before the big day!

Why is it so tough!

I know i need to stop spending my money on clothes but i couldnt resist as i am on holiday as of the 12th March! Yes! so i bought 5 dresses 4 tops and a bikini, all of which i didnt need. I can see Rys point when he tells me i spend too much on stuff i dont really need but living at home with lots of extra cash is not going to last so i think i should treat myself! I found some great summer dresses that are so easy to wear and look great on the beach, the only problem i am going to have is trying to get it all in one suitcase. It seems i either take to much or take too little, i can never get it just right. I have no problem wearing the same stuff again but i change mood so easily i like to change my clothes to match it!

Ive always wanted to be a minmal kind of gal which i am in many respects but i get bored quite easily and like to mix things up. I change my blog quite regularly as i like seeing how great it could look.
This afternoon i had my hair cut at a salon my close friend lindsey recommended. It was great i just had a trim and a fringe cut in. Cant wait for some sun so it goes a little lighter..Although ive always wondered what id look like as a brunette.....
