Lego house

Last thursday night I had a brilliant wee evening with Jenn at the Katy Perry concert in Glasgow. The night after I went to the concert again with Katrina, and we had the pleasure of meeting the lady herself before the gig.

Given our Meet and Greet passes, we were led into a cutely decorated room, with big tables covered in sweets, a polka dot carpet and the tour backdrop.

I took my polaroid with me, and got my picture taken with Kitty Purry and Katy 🙂 She looked so different without her trademark black/blue wig, and it felt like we were meeting Catherine rather than Katy. I say that as if I know her – I clearly don’t! She was just really laid back and down to earth in comparison to her hyper showgirl persona. She invited us to take as many sweets as we wanted, and we spent 10 minutes chatting to her (and trying to convince her to eat a tunnocks teacake but it wasn’t happening) Her sister took our picture, and also Katy took a picture of Katrinas sparkly eyelashes on her blackberry! I’ve been looking out to see if she’s tweet them but it didn’t happen. Biggest fangirl moment in history ladies, we were so chuffed!

I also got my hands on some flashing candyfloss from the room we met her in. It was so pretty but I was dying to eat it when I got home (cause I’m a greedy pig y’know) but couldn’t get a half decent picture – so I decided to do a wee youtube video of it! I’d disabled a lot of my videos, was feeling a bit crappy about them but I think it’s time for a fresh start and to upload random crap when I feel like it. So head on over and have a nosy, and add me as a friend if you’re on youtube too.

The dress I wore to meet Katy and to the gig after was a cute little Motel number courtsey of MyLabel. A lot of their Motel stuff is on sale right now, which I’m super pleased about because I really want to get a nice dress of theirs for Christmas day. It felt weird being a bit more dressed up than usual for a gig, I just had black tights and flats on with this dress, but I think it’d look fab on a night out with bronzed legs and chunky heels! I kinda wish I’d got the small rather than the medium, feels a totally different fit from all the other Motel Dresses I’ve got. But I still love it and the flattering cut hides a food/candy baby pretty easy 😉


Wee bit of posing had to be done 🙂 Some other reasons to smile this week…

My wee sister Tylers 7th birthday. Can’t believe how big she is getting! Her and Aaron (last on the right) are as cheeky as ever. Don’t know if any of you have really younger brothers and sisters, theres a 15 year age gap between me and tyler, and a 21 year age gap between me and my Dad’s wee boy Max! Madness. Really hope that I can be a ‘cool’ and supportive big sister as they get older. Being an only child until I was 15, I always wished I’d had a big brother or sister 🙁

Bloody wonderful wee parcel from my lady Chloe 🙂 Chloe is one of the most intelligent and heartwarming people I’ve ever spoken to (love you long time) And she’s far too good to me – as you can see from the above. The chocolate and slippers will be perfect for my journey and long weekend up north, and the earrings and necklace are from Temporary:Secretary, who’s wonderful gems I’ve been eyeing up for such a long time. I’m sorry to the folks who have contacted me about exchanging parcels, my email skillz haven’t been great as of late, but I defo want to do it so I’ll be in touch again asap.

Just typing this from my bed, and I’ve literally finished writing a guinea pig check list for my flatmates as they’re going to be looking after the boys for me from tomorrow until sunday as I’m away a trip up north with a very nice person I know. It’s their friends birthday and we’re all going to his parents house in the countryside for fun, drinking and jacuzzi times. It’s just the break I need before I head back to the Weakest Link, and the first time I’ve properly been about the building BBC since I took ill there a couple of months ago. Don’t want to have that silly nostalgia where you connect certain places to when you’ve been unwell/upset/angry, and all the people there are so lovely so I’m just going to keep my head held high and get on with it 🙂 I’ve missed the canteen and their home baking so I’m sure I’ll be distracted by that anyways the second I’m back (told you… greedy)

One last thing, who I am I getting to finally meet at the South West Blogger meet? I feel like a crazy scotsman crashing the party but I’m too bloody excited about coming ♥

    Eeeeeeeeeek Katy Perry! I quite clearly would have had an emotional fangirl breakdown upon meeting her and possibly would have had to be escorted away by security. You look as though you acted a lot cooler 🙂

    Gorgeous dress and a lovely post as ever. Been following your blog for a while and i always enjoy reading your upbeat posts and seeing your piccys 🙂 xxxx

    Katy Perry and MEETING Katy Perry, now that sounds epic. Love the sound of all the showmanship as well as loving the Teenage Dream album.

    Glad you liked the little parcel queridita, just a little something to say thanks for all your kind words (which I notice more have appeared!) and support.
