Whats Haute and Whats Not- Dieting Facts Special

So considering New Years Resoultions regarding dieting normally only last a few days- I blame the lure of leftover Christmas sweets. JEM and myself thought that we would share with you some ancient dieting facts, facts which you may never knew even existed.

Oh the crazzzzy world of dieting...

• Chocolate is good for you as it contains milk- milk is good for calcium. Its also contains hormones which calm women down, it has the opposite effect on men- makes them hyper.
• Chocolate is also counted as one of your five a day as it is made from cocoa BEANS.  Bean = vegetable.  Therefore, chocolate must be vegetable.
• Jaffa cakes are doubly good for you because they contain the chocolate vegetable AND the orange flavouring.  Orange is a fruit.Therefore, one Jaffa Cake = two of your five - a - day.
• Broken Biscuits contain no calories. The process of breaking the biscuit causes calorie leakage.
• Anything licked off the knife as you are preparing the family's sandwiches has a negative calorie value
• If you drink a diet coke while eating a chocolate bar, the calories in the chocolate bar are cancelled by the diet coke.
• Flavoured water contains fruit juice, fruit = one of your five a day. Mixed fruit juice = your five a day.
• Nandos is super healthy for you- pitta = good, chicken = good, chips = good. The peri peri spicy sauce speeds your metabolism up- therefore you can eat more. Also the diet coke rule applies here.
• Shopping burns a higher proportion of calories if the store is busy and you have to evade other shoppers regularly - especially in Primark on a Saturday afternoon. 
• Also, the excitement of snapping up a bargain increases your metabolism which means you need to stop for a cake afterwards if you get a very cheap jumper...
• Anything consumed at the movies (i.e popcorn, drink, hotdog) is counted as part of the whole entertainment package and therefore does not have any significant calorie value.  This also counts if you sit in and eat icecream on the sofa as long as you are enjoying Coronation Street.
• If your clothes feel tight on you- its not because you have put on weight, its because a) they've shrunk in the wash, b) someone in the shop has put the wrong size tag on.
• If you are eating out with a friend then the calories don't count as long as she eats more than you do.
• A pregnant friend is your secret diet weapon.  Feeling fat? Go stand next to her.  Wanting to eat lots? I bet she can eat more.
• On a night out pasoa and lemonade class as one of your 5 a day (passionfruit = good), a double = two of your 5 a day. A pitcher = fruit intake for a week etc etc. This rule can also apply to cherry/apple sours, flavoured vodka, flavoured schnapps etc.
• Oh for wine- grapes are good for you- more wine = more vitamins consumed.

yummy

NOTD- Models Own- Coral Reef

Now for some reason I've had these pictures on my blackberry for about 2 weeks now, and I've just gotten around to posting this. So as you know I've had my fibre glass extensions on now since the beginning of December, and I've just had my first lot of infills done- one nail kinda was peeled off, just to see what state my nail was in underneath, and I have to admit- no damage done to my natural nail.

My natural nails underneath have been growing like wildfire and now are the same length as my extensions. So the other week when I got them infilled and filed right down (couldn't get my contacts out without blinding myself), I got Jill aka nail technician to the stars to paint my nails this colour. You know mine and JEM's love affair with Models Own, and this colour as per lives up to the expectations I've come to expect with MO.

Let me introduce you to Club Tropicana aka Coral Reef...

Can I just state that the back of my nails look a bit naff purely because I'd just applied fake tan to my legs and I hadn't cleaned my nails properly. I am not a dirty manky skank who has rancid nails.

Now these photos were taken after just one coat and as you can see, one coat is more than enough. I would say its more redder than orange, however the colour lasted for about 10 days without chipping. Love love love.

Back to work tomorrow- urgh!!!

Whats that coming over the hill..

....is it payday??

....is it payday??

Oh yes, payday is within touching distance... roll on Monday. Even though my NYR was to stick to a budget, that may have gone out of the window the last two days... I've just ordered some xen tan, and then a skirt from asos (it was in the sale so do I get some credit for that), and some OPI oh and a Mac eyeshadow from a blog sale. As January was my birthday month (yes I get a month), I have cut back on spending but I know I can do better next month.

However it would be rude not to buy any new things next month... these are things I need in my life..

BCBG Stretch Dress £158.41 Shopbop.com, Alexander McQueen Skull Bracelet £115 Net-a-porter.com, Brown Leather Shorts (I've caught the leather bug- blame the Lederhosen) £38 Topshop, Mustard Floral Print Suntop £25 Topshop.

Knitted Coral Cardi £38 Topshop, Coral Platform Courts £48 asos, One Shoulder Coral Dress £40 asos, Coral Peep Toe Cork Heels £69.99 River Island. Can you spot a colour theme???

Leopard Print Blazer £79.99 Zara, House of Harlow Cuff £143 Shopbop, Evil Twin Sky is Falling tee £30.89 Shopbop.com, Opi Lincoln Park After Dark £10 asos.

Finally getting my laptop sorted this weekend- so you will probably be seeing some photos in the next few weeks. Also trying to do a spreadsheet of all the enteries of the giveaway- will announce the winner asap. Oh and if anyone knows how to get the tabs along the top of your blogs please can you let me know cause I can only ever get one tab on- cheers.

Anyhoo what are you spending your pay on?? x

Bish Bash Bosh Bloglovin'

See told you last week I would keep you on your toes and maybe post this a different day of the week.

Currently eating a very bland ham sandwich with salt and vinger crisps- seriously balls to the diet, I'm sick of salad and cous cous and I can't go for a walk today as its pouring down. Bahhhhhhh. I decided to go for the mahogany hair, still loving it and I'm suprised the colour is still in after washing it. Saturday night with the Lederhosen, what a night- will attempt to post some pictures up here, but I just look shitfaced in them (sign of a good night). Also having a cracking week on the fantasy football- 110 points and I have more players playing tonight- the lads in the office aren't amused haha.


For some reason when I read blogs at work my computer won't let me comment on your posts- please don't think I'm an ignorant twat who doesn't comment. I do read your posts- pinky promise. So this week, I think you should go check out these fab blogs...

http://ellie-jay.blogspot.com

Ellen is such a doll, love her blog- its hard to catogorise what type of blog it is. She covers everything- bit of celeb, bit of fashion, bit of beauty.. I think you get the jist. What I do love about her blog is her advice posts and how honest and frank she is when giving advice. This is what I personally think sets her blog apart from others... and she's bloody lovely too. Check out her latest post on the joys of bikini waxing!!!!

http://princessandthepeablog.blogspot.com/

You might not be familiar with Lisa the blogger but probably will know her from Twitter (@poddington_pea). Seriously me and her are like two peas in a pod (no pun intended)- we both love nandos, have a hatred for Julian Macdonald, blame each other for finding things on Topshop site, attract the dickheads, the list goes on. Love her weekly playlists- you can follow those too!!! She's also doing a nail polish blog sale at the minute so go grab yourself a bargain.  

www.milkteef.com

Have you seen Emma's ootd pictures?? Fabulous!! If I were Kimora Lee Simmons I'd be having some sort of fabulousity bitch fit on the floor. I just love everything about her blog- love love love. I think she may have an obsession with peter pan collars... but in a good way. She shows how high street items can look effortless, and that you don't have to spend loads of money on an item of clothing for it to look lush!!!

Go check these out and show them some love!! I order you xxx

Blogger Meet Up 5th Feb- THE PLAN

So the blogger meet up is officially next Saturday (5th Feb) in sunny (I use that term loosely) Durham. I’ve roughly set a plan up of what we can do, however its entirely up to you if you want to do something different.

I’ll be in Durham from 1.30 onwards and I can come and meet people if needs be. I thought a good meeting place would be the Gala area (aka Walkergate), as there are loads of bars/cafes around there. However once everyone is here we can go elsewhere in town.

A map of dirty Duzza can be found here http://www.thisisdurham.com/site/tourist-information-and-maps

JEM is coming out about 3ish.

Food wise, I was thinking a meal at the Fat Buddha at 5ish (so we can get the lunch menu, more money for drinks later you see). The menu can be found here http://www.fatbuddharestaurant.com/durham/

After the meal, I’ll need to go check into the hotel (its 2 mins up the road), quick change of clothes for me and….

Then let the drinking begin!!!!

Bar wise on the night you can chose from Fabios, Chase, Jimmy Allens, Varsity, Osbournes (all in the market place area), and then the bars in Walkergate which we could stop at- Ebony, Slug and Lettuce, Bishops Mill, Fat Buddha and then LoveShack. Normally if I’m out I go wherever and go to Buddha for cocktails and then to Loveshack, plus that’s normally the end of night route people take (everyone ends up in Walkergate area).

If anyone wants to stop over there is still rooms available in the Travelodge.

What else, if you need my number to get in touch beforehand either dm me on twitter (@whoissheblog) or email me (raybanrarr@gmail.com) xxx

Life on the A List

I have a love/hate relationship with my hair- I love the length, and my colour, however I wish it had more of a style to it. However I hate my hair being messed with- I only let those who work at my cousins hairsalon cut my hair. No one else. I think this stems from having super short layers cut in my hair, when all what I asked was some layers around the bottom.

Isla Fisher (natural fab hair colour), Khloe Kardahian (LOVE), Ashlee Simpson, Whor Chez

When I first met JEM on our first day at Shittyinfo- yes thats what the place was called (it was that bad we were in the pub on our second lunch drinking vodka), I had blonde hair which I loved, caused by highlights upon highlights. Then it went to a dark chocolate brown, but then the blonde came back through (my hair was in terrible condition). So after a year of random shades of chocolate brown, I decided I wanted my hair copper (a la Ashlee Simpon), managed to get the colour, and with my natural hair colour being a light brown, my roots went bright ginger (and stayed that colour) and then after washing the ends all faded and roots stayed bright. That colour lasted a week before it went dark dark brown.

Ri-Ri, Nicola Roberts (love her coral hair), Emma Stone (why did you have to dye your hair blonde), Paloma Faith

Then the love affair with red hair began- 1/3 red, 2/3 light brown. Oh how much I love my hair colour- in some lights it looks red, other lights dark brown, when the colour washes out, it goes redder. However I think its time for a change... time to go more red. Honestly my hair has been every single shade under the sun bar grey (however I found my first grey the other month, I'm still in denial about that) and black.

Sharon Osbourne (the leader of the pack, Queen of red hair) and three random google images

I think since F-Mac (Florance and the Machine) came on the scene, celebs are going crazy for red hair. Or is it since my hair is red I just notice it more?? I think with it being this type of year red hair is way more popular. There's something about having red hair which I love, I don't know what it is- maybe cause its different? Two of my favourite bloggers also share the "red love".

Steph and Lisa both look fab with their hair colours- both compliment their skin tone and seriously how fab do they look. I know Steph is toying with going back brown (she'll look fab regardless), however I think she should keep the ginge (her words not mine). Lisa has recently had slices of ginger put through her hair, which gives a totally natural look, and she's already booked in to have more red put in (she's going to be the Nicola Roberts of the blogging world soon). Check out their blogs asap.

So what colour for me, I know I'm following the trend, but I really love Cheryls mahogany shade (even though its out of a bottle). Its red enough to satisfy my craving for more red, but is still dark enough, so when it does start to wash out its not going to be a funny colour (famous last words). However I do wonder whether Cheryl actually did it herself, or did she get one of her stylists to do it for her??

What colour should I go for?? Should I go all Cheryl??

Ps- after Jan's suggestion of having a kitkat, I've decided that I'm not going to be posting as much over the next few weeks, however "Who is She" is here to stay, whether you like it or not haha. Thank you for all your kind words on here, via twitter and via email.

Muchos love as always xxx

Doubt...

...to be uncertain about; consider questionable or unlikely; hesitate to believe.

...to distrust.

...be apprehensive about.

...to be uncertain about something; be undecided in opinion or belief.

 

I initally started this blog with the whole air of mystery around me, none of you knew who I was, what I looked like, what I did for a living, where I live, nor who JEM was. I then decided to occasionally post pictures of me, let yous into my life on here- something which I think I am starting to majorly doubt. I have met some fab people through the blog, people who I talk to all the time on Twitter who I have no problems what so ever with telling them what I do for a living, where I live, telling them about scummy little boys who mess with my head etc. But do I want to post it on my blog???

 

However I am starting to become increasingly disheartened with my blog, I felt like this before Christmas, however I thought that this was due to the fact that Christmas is always a busy time for me, and that I was ready for the break from work. To be honest things aren't that well at work (think you can tell via my random tweets) and the last thing I want to do on a night after spending a day on the computer at work, is go home and write a blog post. I feel like my spark has gone- what is the point in me writing about my excitement for an upcoming Mac collection, or the latest item that Topshop has in- things which I want to write about, when everyone else has wrote about it. At the end of the day if I want to write about something, you know I will, however am I just writing for the sake of writing?

 

I hate seeing pictures of me on the blog, those close to me know how criticial I am of myself and I don't want to attract criticism from people who I don't know. Those last lot pictures of me on here, I can't even look at as all what I see is massive thunder thighs and I feel physically disgusted with myself. People ask if I will do FOTD posts- no way, I'd rather stick a fork in my eye than have to post close up pictures on my face. I'm organising a blogger meet up, and I'm nervous about meeting these other fab bloggers in case they take an instant dislike to me, what happens if they don't like Durham, what if they think its a waste of a day/night out. Those are my concerns.

 

I don't know- this is how I feel at the moment, I know this post doesn't really have any sense or logic to it as I'm keep contradicting myself. I have 2 posts scheduled to be posted within the next week and then I will post the final information up about the Blogger Meet Up, and then I think it may be time to have a prolonged break from "Who is She". I do love reading everyone's blogs, take inspiration from them, get new ideas for make up looks, ideas on how to wear a certain item of clothing. Although maybe change is good, and the blog is getting me out of my comfort zone?? Ahhh I really don't know. I just know that if I want to be criticised I know where to go- I don't need it on my blog or twitter.

Bloglovin'

So peeps I think this is going to be a new weekly feature on the blog, I don't know if it will be every Tuesday or a random day each week to keep you on your toes. As I love checking out new blogs, I thought that I would share some of mine and the JEMspenks favourite blogs. I'm going to be putting a blog roll on the blog sometime soon, so all these blogs which we mention will be featured on there amongst others.

So what blogs have I been reading this week....

http://xoxoavs.blogspot.com/

Ahhh how do I describe my darling avs's blog?? Hmmm. Seriously though this girl cracks me up, and she has a slight obsession with irn bru- what more is there to love. I'm jealous of her hair extensions, as well as all of her fabulous outfits. Seriously the girl can pull any look off- including geek specs!!! Oh and don't forget the occasional guest appearence's from her cat Max!! Love love love.

http://thewhatlauralovesblog.blogspot.com/

Next up is my fellow North Easterner Laura. I love how her blog is a mixture of everything- reviews and telling us about her day to day life. Love how she has an obsession with primark and model's own, just like JEM. She's coming to the blogger meet up in a few weeks too- very excited to meet her.

http://ess-jay24.blogspot.com/

Steph was one of the first blogs I followed, and she was the first followers to follow "Who is She". What I love about Steph's blog (apart from the reviews/notd/ootd) is how she documents her daily goings on with her weekly round up of photos. She keeps me entertained on twitter and when I have my fashion dilemas she is there with fab advice. She's also coming to the meet up- can't wait!!!

So, what are you waiting for?? Get reading and following!!! xxx

When You Wish Upon A Star...

Who doesn't love a bit of Disney?? I think its one of those underlying laws which you don't know where it came from, but you know its true. Apart from the obvious (see below), think about it- everywhere you go parts of our lives are influenced by Disney. Wanting to be a princess when we grow up, or looking for your prince charming (I'm still waiting for mine, so if you find him send him my way please).

Currently I'm writing this at work (on my lunch btw) and I currently have a furry princess pen (a la Cher from Clueless) and a Minnie Mouse pen in close proximity. Yes I am also obsessed with Disney Couture jewellery too.

I think after the Mac collaboration with Disney on their VV collection every where I look on the high street- Disney is having some sort of influence. I've picked some of my current high street favourites for you... actually I've just realised I'm wearing a Peter Pan collar tunic- there you go... unconsciously influenced again.

Pins and Needles Blouse Urban Outfitters £45, Ski Patrol top $40 Junk Food (Truffle Shuffle), Topshop Tunic £28 (This is what I'm wearing today- £15 in the sale), New Look Tunic £19.99.

Animal Tunic, Newlook £16.99, Asos beaded collar dress £55, Topshop embellished peter pan collar dress £50 (this dress is lush), Asos Tailed peter pan dress £44 (would wear this for work but its a bit short and expensive).

Asos Embellished top from £14, Junk Food Armless Tee £44 (as seen on Una from the Saturdays), Topshop spotted tunic £28, vintage Micky tee from Truffle Shuffle. 

Fantasy necklace £27 Asos, Have faith in your dream bangle £27 Spoiled Brat, Little Mermaid Treasure Chest £34 Asos, When you wish upon a star bangle £27 Spoiled Brat. All items are Disney Couture. 

And here's my attempt haha.

Now this photo was taken quickly before a trip to Nandos with my favourite gay as he is known, and it was in the middle of my Christmas illness- no amount of makeup was able to cover my pale face.

Jumper- Primark (men's section)

Jeans- Primark, they've got diy rips on the knees.

Boots- Uggs

Are you loving the Disney trends?? xxx

JEMs £1.89 Beauty Must Have

Hello all,

Well, in follow-up to the last post about Betty Hula face products, I've found my skin drying out even further.  Not just on my face, but all over my body, even my eyebrows and hair, feel dry like a lizard who's spent too long basking in the 40 degree sun.  So I've started a new beauty regime with just ONE £1.89 product only and it's making me feel a million times better.

And the miracle product for severe dryness is...

Johnson's baby oil(not made with real babies).

It's wonderfully cheap, and smells like babies, talc, fabric softener and clean yummy things.  It's (obviously) completely hypo-allergic, so won't upset even the most sensitive skin (which is me at the moment).

I have used it in leiu of facial moisturiser (only recommended if like me your skin is so dry it's flaking off without warning) I have found it makes a good body lotion, chapstick, even hair conditioner (just add a tiny bit to the very dry tips of my hair for instant gratification).

I've mixed it with equal parts table salt and it makes the best body scrub and exfolient I've used (better than soap and glory's flake away, even).

I've used it on wet skin from the shower, and it's second to none for locking in extra moisture (up to ten times more, say the adverts).

I've used it as a massage oil, an anti-stretch mark oil (yep, 22 weeks and not a single one yet!) and as a bath oil.

In short, I think I've covered every square inch of my body with this stuff and I feel better than I have in weeks.  I wonder if it comes in a bigger vat - I think me and babyJEM are going to go through a lot of this stuff!!!

I have just realised that its on offer in Asda for £1 per bottle, so its actually a £1 must have lol.

Love

JEM

Blah Blah Blah

I'm starting to become a bit concerned that my blog posts are becoming shit.

To continue with this trend, here's a random picture I'm assuming I'm drunk...I do like this outfit though.

Check out the dairylea on toast on my bed!!!

Thanks for everyone who helped with my fashion dilema (see post below), tried on my shorts and the longer shirts probably won't tuck in, stupid bloody belly.

Hope you have a fabulous weekend xx

Oi Yer Spenk...Haiiiii

I need your help fellow bloggers, I would tweet but my Blackberry has died a sorry little death and I've left my charger at home (cue a very unhappy Ray at work today). I need sometime of top to go with my leather shorts (aka Lederhosen as they are now known as).

Now as they have zips on, I would rather have some sort of plain (yet dressy) top to go with it. Ideally something Topshop as I know their tops are long enough for me, and long enough to tuck in but not look like I have had some sort of accident in my pants... what a lush thought.

Anyway here are my favourites from the Topshop site and a picture of the shorts. Which shirt/top do you think will look better?? Oh and I won't be wearing tights with them neither!! Bare legs all the way.

The Lederhosen.

Cream crop tab sleeve shirt £36, Cream tab front silk shirt £40, Sand short sleeve safari shirt £36.

Splody animal burnout tee £22, Blue drop arm vest £28, Basic shell top £10.

Peach grandad collar shirt £36, Sleeveless cropped tab shirt £36, Silk longsleeved shirt £40.

I think from looking at them, I definately think a shirt (keep me a bit warm in the cold) and I have two favourites. However what would you pair them with??

Betty Hula- JEMs Take

Hello peeps,

Sorry I've been so slack and not written anything for ages.  I haven't even got a decent excuse, except for the fact that being pregnant means I spend most of my free time sleeping.  Growing a BabyJem is exhausting work!!  But, being the brave soul that I am, I have dragged myself from my ass dent in the mattress to write a few reviews for you.

First up is the Betty Hula products lovingly donated by Ray. She has passed along the Rum and Blackcurrant cream, the Champagne and Spice cream, and The Secret, an anti-aging oil. Being that I'm waaaaaaaaay older than Ray (or 4 years, depends on who you ask) and also that BabyJEM is in the process of extracting all the natural moisture from my skin and leaving me with dry patches the likes of which I have never seen, I was quite excited about trying these products.

I will start with the oil, as that's probably my favourite.  As I said, my skin is sensitive, patchy and dry at the moment (never was before) and this goes on gorgeously after a shower or bath.  At £15.99 (incl free P&P) for 50ml I might be using this as a substitute from now on for my all time uber-favourite, the Decleor Aromessence Neroli Oil  (which normally retails at £40+ for a similar sized bottle).  It smells girly, rosey and sweet, and suprisingly absorbs right into the skin for instant moisture.  I like to put mine on right after a long soak in the bath while my skin is still slightly damp before bed...

Will be ordering some more of this when my sample runs out.

Next the creams.  I'll be honest, the rum and blackcurrant didn't make it out of the jar.  It might just be pregnancy-nose, but it smelled like a drunken bum who'd fallen asleep in the fruit cart.  Ugh.  The champagne and spice was much nicer, lighter, and I actually gave this a good crack but I wasn't 100% thrilled - it's probably okay for normal skin but as mine is so horribly dry right now it didn't have enough moisture for me.  The scent is lovely and quite festive tho, and I'd probably give it another go after my skin gets back to normal.

Any questions, just ask!  Happy New Year to everyone - hope you had an awesome festive season and ate and drank lots!

Love,

JEM

Say NO....

...to the spending ban.

I wasn't going to blog today but as I have a post to put on from JEM (yes she still is alive- don't worry), I thought I would share with you my new Topshop buys. Now I was going to photograph them for you but I am far too lazy to move from my bed where it is lovely and warm, so you will have to make do with pretty pictures from the Topshop website. Plus considering the amount of clothes I buy (or used to- you'll see why later) I don't understand why I never blog about it... this is going to change.

Now throughout December I had a "no spending money on clothes until Boxing Day ban", which I kinda did stick too... well thats a lie, I was after a Micky Mouse sweatshirt from Primark which I couldn't find, so ended up buying another sweatshirt and then bought the Micky one when I found it in Newcastle... however... I did return the other sweater and changed it for a sheer shirt (it was after boxing day so its allowed). Quite good for me cause I would normally have kept the sweater and buy the shirt.

So on New Years Eve and considering my 200 quid budget a month from 1st January for clothes, going out etc, one last Topshop splurge before it kicked in is ok isn't it?? Plus I did return some sale items too... shock horror which I decided I didn't really need (extra 40 quid for me). I think I'm at that stage now where I need to take account of what clothes I have and what items I need to add to my wardrobe. Plus as its my Birthday night out on the 22nd (oh how I wish I was 22- yes I am still having issues about my age) I wanted something new to wear. You have to have something new to wear on your birthday night out... its the law.

So my new purchases...

Zipped back tee- ₤15 (sale).

The tag says its supposed to be red, however it looks more Orange. Love this top, would actually pay full price for it as its one of those dressy, but not too dressy tops (if that makes sense).

Ally boots ₤40 (sale).

I have been eyeing these babies up since they first came out however I wasn't sure on spending so much money on a pair of boots which is going to make me 10" taller than everyone around me. However for some reason my feet are funny sizes in Topshop- size 8 boots are too small, yet size 9 slip ons are far too big. However considering in the shop this was the last pair and in a size 9 I think it was a sign to buy them. Now I just need to master walking in shoes with such a big platform (I'm not used to them) before next week.

Finally, PU Leather shorts ₤38.

One of my New Years Resoultions is to try and stop wearing dresses every time I go on a night out. I need to wear other items of clothes haha. So for my birthday night out I am wearing these bad boys aka my lederhosen as I've been calling them with my lovely new shoe boots. Quite looking forward to wearing them, but really apprehensive at the same time. Even though I wear short dresses I have no problems in my legs being on show, however I am worried about being called thunder thighs in these shorts. The diet is back in full swing for next week as I'm now paranoid I wont fit in them haha.

Keep those shorts in mind... I need your advice/input later on in the week...

Roll on 9..

 

I'm such a Gleek!!! xx

Now me and Holly both made a massive realisation on that night as to why we don't go out on a Bank Holiday Monday- all the inbreds are let loose. So we made a quick dash back to the car... however a couple of pictures of us pissing around wearing the party hat needed to be shared with you all....

Holly got a bit shy....

However the food in Buddha as per was bloody gorgeous.... Holly is definately a buddha convert.

I'm hungry now xx
