Fun with Music

I've decided to put the iPod on just now, as it's on shuffle songs, I wanted to see what the first 10 songs that came on would be, no cheating now.

1. Star Pilots - In the Heat of the Night.
2. U2 - Angel of Harlem.
3. Black Eyed Peas - Meet Me Halfway.
4. Backstreet Boys - Everybody.
5. Peter Cetera - Glory of Love (Theme from The Karate Kid).
6. Lionel Richie - All Night Long.
7. Boston - More than a Feeling.
8. Grace - Not Over Yet.
9. Black Lace-Have a Screw (x-rated version of Agadoo).
10. Savage Garden - I Don't Know You Anymore.

What are the first ten songs on your shuffle list?

Writing Group

I've recently joined a writing group. We meet every Monday night at a Local public house. Most of the members are teachers or ex-teachers. Many of them are a lot older than myself, to be honest, I think I am the youngest member of the group at just 33.

I must say that it's actually quite good fun, listening to the others and hearing their work. One of the group, Michael is a very keen Sci-Fi fan. I admit that I quite liked his little play that he had written about two kids who had never really spoken but went to the same school. Hopefully now that I have joined this group I should be on here a lot more. If you want to learn more about who we are and what we do, then please visit our website. Pennine Ink.

Friday's Photoshoot

I had a photo shoot last Friday, Kevin had bought it for me for valentine's day and I'd only just gotten round to going. I had hoped to go for my birthday but they were fully booked for that day. When I arrived, I was asked to fill out a form, describing how I wanted to look. I opted for the Cheryl Cole look, as I think she's one of the most beautiful women around at the moment.

Then I was treated to a glass of wine and a mini-manicure. Next came the hair, and the make-up. Then it was off to change and have some photos taken.

Here are a couple of photos from the day.

It was a fabulous day.

Quotes of the day

To the world you might be one person,but to one person you might be the world.

Always be a little kinder than necessary.

Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness.

Twelve Things Tuesday Update

12 Things

Here's this weeks.

1. Lose at least 14lbs before 8 April. Obviously this is being carried over until July 24. I hope to have lost at least 42lbs by July 24, for my holiday. It's going ok. Just not as well as I'd hoped it would though. I've just downloaded an app, on my iPhone called BootCamp.  You can chose the area you wish to work on and exercise for around 20mins. I'm going to give the abs and cardio workouts a go.

Lucky ring

Is it possible for a ring to be considered lucky? I ask this because last night at kevin's I was watching my beloved Manchester united take on Chelsea in the quarter final 2nd leg of the champions league. They were fortunate to have already scored a crucial away goal at Stamford bridge and looked to be cruising after scoring at home. Then Chelsea equalised and dominated most of the 2nd half. Now for the reason behind the lucky ring


This ring once belonged to my beloved grandad Hawil, my mum gave it to me when he died in 1998, it's inscribed with his initials "HS". I consider it lucky because whenever mark (kevin's) brother Is at his flat to watch man u they most usually get beat or draw. Perhaps this ring has lucky powers or something like that........

Both these products are amazing. They're a bit pricey at £62.00 and £37.00 but well worth it. The foundation was a gift from my lovely mom for my birthday. I haven't tried it yet seeing I still have some of my clarins foundation left. As for the lip balm, well lets just say that I'm going to get some before I go away on my holidays in July. it has a lovely eucalyptusy flavour and smell to it. I love it.
