Groped by a mo bro

I'm not one for condoning violence, but last night I was dancing in a club and a guy (he happened to be sporting a tashe) grabbed my bum!, my instant reaction was to turn and give him a slap! I slapped him hard right on the shoulder and it stung my hand so I'm guessing it stung him! but my question is....Is there some unwritten rule in a nightclub where it's acceptable to grab peoples asses? Should I be flattered?

What weekends are made for......

Galleries................
Get out there and get inspired! There are some really good exhibitions on at the minute in the Ulster Museum http://www.nmni.com/um and one I really want to see coming soon. I think i'm a bit late with this post because the Royal Ulster Academy of Arts http://www.royalulsteracademy.org/ exhibition finished on November 20th.......

WOW!!

Check out these crazy shoes from Irregular choice http://www.irregularchoice.com/, they bring a whole new meaning to kitten heels! I am partial to a bit of leopard print (maybe it's my new blonde hairdo, I'm bringing out my inner Pat Butcher) and I have been known to like a cat or two so what's not to for me to love about these heels??

The puuurrrrrrrfect party season shoe! £65 Cheese on toast!  

Winter woolies

'It's like he has irons for feet' was feeling the cold but now he has some brand new head gear he's set for the winter...................

He doesn't have any features but if he did he'd be smiling!

Eat buns raise funds!

For the last 3 years my friend Catherine and I have walked in the Belfast marathon.Belfast City MarathonI love taking part in the marathon, it's a challenge but worth it for the my personal reward of a Dominos pizza when I'm done. The first year we took part we walked 9 miles, too easy, the following year the full 26.1, totally wrecked I could barely walk home from the park and this year again the full thing and it wasn't too bad! Next year we're planning a relay..... To raise money for this years marathon I had a little tea party!

My lovely assistant Gloria, proudly raising the banner for Macmillan! My sister Kathryn made Gloria, she's so cool!

I must admit that I bought all the goodies for the tea party, I wasn't the baker then that I am now!

Thank you to all my friends and family who gave generously to Macmillan!

Buy Nothing Day-Saturday 26th November

At this time of year people go CRAZY spending! But it's time to lock up your wallets and challenge yourself to a day of zero consumerism.1 DAY!! http://www.buynothingday.co.uk/
NO saturday paper, NO coffee shop treats, NO charity shop mooching (well....strictly you can mooch but only looking no buying), NO weekend takeout! Easy? The buy nothing challenge is nothing new to me, it's a daily challenge I set myself (mostly because I have no money to spend in the first place) but I usually fail miserably! But when I do have a day of no spending it actually feels great, who'd a thunk it?? NO SPENDING= HAPPINESS

.............and this little piggy got none

The big lad bought me a little book of quotes for hard times, Keep calm and carry on, perhaps I should refer to it more often....a fitting quote for todays blog from Paul Clitheroe-There are plenty of ways to get ahead. The first is so basic I'm almost embarrassed to say it: spend less than you earn.


My 10 tips for spending less (remember sometimes you have to spectulate to accumulate)

1. STAY AWAY FROM THE SHOPS!
2. Be mindful, think before you spend "Do I really need these cat earmuffs?"
3. Ditch the gym and take up running, it's fun and free!
4. Bring a packed lunch to work.
5. Buy a reusable coffee mugs and make your own.
6. Read blogs instead of mags.
7. De-clutter, less=more
8. Grow your own salad and veg.
9. Clothes swap with friends and family.
10. Make presents, if your not artistic why not bake something?

GOOD LUCK!!
