'Nobody puts Baby in the corner' and some other random rambling

Hello lovelies,

I hope you've all been having a lovely weekend!

On Friday evening my mum, sisters and I went to see Dirty Dancing on stage in Edinburgh, I had got mum the tickets for Christmas as she loves the movie, like most of us girlies do, it's an epic chick flick afterall (although I did find out recently that my friend Jade has NEVER seen it, how is that even possible!!!?!).

It was such a good girls night, the dancers were fantastic, the music was great, the acting, ok it was a little cheesy but what else can we expect from the ultimate chick flick!!
The only downfall for me was Jonny, he just wasn't Jonny, I wasn't feeling it for him at all, I guess no-one but the late, great Mr Patrick Swayze will ever be Jonny Castle!

Last night I went for a lovely meal and drinks with some friends, I nominated myself as driver as I'm trying not to drink any alcohol for as long as I can in a effort to shift some extra weight I've been carrying around. (I'm not an alcoholic, honest)

Which brings me to my next ramble, my friend Gemma and I are going to have a weigh-in every Thursday so we can record how were getting on with our bikini body mission.
I'm actually really excited about this and think it will motivate me to eat healthy and work hard at the gym as I hate to fail.
I am not dieting, I eat pretty healthy meals I just have a few extras I need to cut out like cupcakes, chocolate and Friday nights, wine time.
I'm hoping to lose 1lb per week which I think is achievable, obviously anything extra would be great!!!
Let me know if you'd like updates on how I get on?

After the theatre on Friday night, I left my iPhone and camera in my sisters car she has been at her in-laws since and I won't get it back till later tonight. I seriously did not realise how much I am addicted to my iPhone, WOW I feel a bit lost! Far too dependant on it, this I must change!!!!!

So I've no pictures to share other than a couple my little sister took on her phone at the show :(

What was life like before smartphones?
What have you been up to this weekend?

Keep Smiling :D

Countdown to Christmas #9

Last night I had yet another festive trip to Edinburgh this time with my mum and sister along with free tickets (courtesy of the company I work for) to Mother Goose pantomime at Kings Theatre.....

I LOVE Panto!!!!

This is of course a new Christmas love as I hadn't been to a panto since I was around 7 or 8, mum and sis were the same, but hey who can refuse a free ticket, ha

I met up with a few of the girls from my office some of them had friends with them and others had their children, we all got to sit as a group so it was great having all age groups!

The panto was fab the actors definitely succeeded in entertaining both children and adults, we all laughed from start to finish, not to mention singing along to all the songs!

It had all the traditional panto characters the Dame (a male actor always plays the leading lady) her daughter, the daughters love affair- the handsome prince, the comic, the fairy, the animal (in this case a goose called Pricilla) and no story is complete without a villan!!!

The theatre is over 100 years old and I thought it had a beautiful interior, unfortunately I didn't have a camera but managed a few (not very good) pictures on my sisters phone(our seats were really high up so I was bit scared leaning over to take the stage, ha)

Panto is now on my Christmas tradition list, can't wait to go next year, ha!!!

Have any of you been to panto? What did you think?

Keep Smiling :D

OMG 6 sleeps people!!!!!!!!
