Ice Bar

Hi Guys

Now a few weeks a go me and the boy went down to London town and even though we do go quite a bit we still enjoy doing some touristy things. But even for me this was a new one, The Ice Bar and here is the link to their website.

The ice bar is at -5c at all times and completely made of ice. You get one of these very dashing capes to wear with a pair of gloves which you'll need just to hold your glass made of ice. Prices in the ice bar its self start at £12.50 to £24 for 45 mins and one drink included but other offers are available  We paid £12.50 each and was glad that was all.

We lasted about 30 mins in the cold and the boys had an extra drink but at £6 a go for a tiny cocktail I wouldn't bother having many.

Now its a definite must for a one off one of them things everyone should do once but I don't think Ill do it again. There's a cheap bar down the end of the road that had buy one get one free at happy hour which was much better.

What did you think, have you been to the ice bar? 

Thanks for reading. 

The Breakfast Club

Hi All

How are we? first let me apologise for the lack of blogging this last week or so but I'm in full Christmas swing. Yes I'm a big fat Geek who loves to be super organised and this year I've taken it a step further. The Christmas cards are written and presents are rapped, ok I've not completed my shopping but I'm try to get it all done by December so when I'm at my busiest and stressed at work I can be calm and organised at home.

Right less of the rant and more about the Breakfast Club. As you might have seen me and the boy packed our bags and went off to London Town for the Harry Potter tour last week and had an amazing time here's the post. In my super organised state I knew we wouldn't have time for lunch so I popped on the internet to find an amazing place for breakfast. 

Hence the Breakfast club here's a snipped from the website

We're big on our breakfasts (did the name give that away?) serving up everything from traditional English to Pancakes and Eggs Benedict. Worried about fitting into the skinny jeans? Try our mueslis, porridge or fruit salads.
As the day progresses we move on to a range of wraps, burgers, burritos, pies, sharing plates and salads. All this washed down with fairtrade lattes, smoothies and a range of beers, wine and cocktails.

They have five locations across London and we went to the original Soho location. Now a word to the wise it opens at 8am and we went on a Friday at 9 and had to queue for a table.

It was well worth the wait and here the pictures to prove it.

Hope you like you table neighbours

All American

You Beat Me

I ordered the all American even if my eyes where to big for my belly it was so worth it and the boy ordered the original full English. Going to the breakfast club is defiantly going to be a tradition for London visits from now on and has got me even more excited for Florida next year.  

Have you got any amazing breakfast places you love?

Harry Potter Sir

Hi Guys

I came back from London yesterday after having a fab weekend with some of the boys relatives. The main reason for the visit was to feed my Harry Potter addiction yep that's right I'm a massive Potter geek and its been killing me waiting to go on the studio tour. I really wish I had gone when it first opened I would of queued for tickets.

Hence I thought I would share some of my 195 pictures with you, so if you planing on going and don't want to spoil the surprise you should look away now.  

Just a few tips for you if you are going, you can easily print your tickets when you get their you don't have to print the confirmation you can take the email and type in your details. 

Second personal I wouldn't bother with the electronic guide even though its a good guide, walking round with head phones doesn't really promote great conversation.

Third plan how your getting their, we stayed in central London (Kennington) and bought unlimited day train and tube passes that included Watford Junction and it cost £20 each but that was for peak times. That was actually the cheapest way for us they do offer coaches from central London direct but they where like £40 each!

Also if you planning on buying some goodies at the end be prepared to pay through the nose! hence keep any little ones away from falling in love with things. I bought two thing, you cant go and not buy anything.

A mug that has invisible foot steps that cost £13.95 told you it was expensive. Second a Chocolate Frog! for £7.95 but god that is a massive piece of chocolate and you get a collects card. I got Helga Hufflepuff and will defo be getting more to start a collection, yep GEEEEEEK

Ok yes it was amazing even the boy enjoyed it, the only thing I wish I had done is use the green screen for a broom flying lesson but unfortunately was really dressed for it. Over all I think everyone should go and I would love to know your views if you have been lucky enough to go already. 

What makes it more exciting is we have booked to go to Florida late next year so I can go to Harry Potter World at Universal Studios.

Oh and butter beer aint that great just to let you know but ill be trying it in both countries just to compare.

We Survived!!

Hi Guys

Yep the title is a little dramatic but if you had been to Farmaggedon you would know why. So a few years a go I was in Florida during Halloween Horror at Universal Studios and it was amazing! Seven haunted houses plus loads of other shows, it was truly petrifying.

Now when I saw this years adverts for Farmaggedon I fancied seeing if it lived up to my high expectations. It is situated near Ormskirk which for some is near Liverpool but not to close.

Death Becomes Us

The tickets cost about £18 but are completely worth it. There where three houses this year Terror On The Farm, Psychosis and I can't for the live of me remember the third, I was to concentrated on running for my life as I got chanced from a man with an ax.

Before The Horror Begin

Now the pictures aint that great since I have been cameraless for this last month and only had my phone but luckily my new one arrived just in time for my trip to London.

Looking Terrified

EEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW

We decided to do this with Halloween being during the week and none of our friends having a party it was a great way of enjoying the season without to much mess or effort.

Whats your plan for Halloween? have you been to Farmaggedon or know another great scare fest.

Thanks for reading Ill be back next week as I'm off to London baby

Holiday Poser

Hi guys

One thing I noticed the last few times I've been abroad it only seems to be us British who really 'dress up' for a night out. Either that or I make way to much effort, however my hotel this year defiantly catered towards the Europeans. Now I don't want to make a sweeping generalisation but the people in my hotel looked like they had come straight from the pool just added a little make up.

Hence how I didn't really get to wear my usual type of outfits but here's a few of the nicer ones.

I bought this French Connection bandage dress last Christmas time as I think It was about £60 and even though the picture doesn't show its very well its actually a burnt orange colour. I stopped wearing it after seeing pictures of myself in it and actually tried to sell in on Ebay with no luck but with a tan I feel so much better in it.

Strike A Pose 

I used this dress in another outfit post I did when we actually got some sun at home check out how I styled it  here. This time however I picked a little skinny pink belt and a pair of strappy pair of pink heels.

The dress its self was something life £16 from H & M and that why I love shopping there all the time. 

There's Nothing To It

This is actually a trick picture from my holiday last year, I did wear this outfit this year but the picture was even worse then this one, yes I'm vain. All of this outfit is from River Island last year in different shopping trips but these are defiantly my favourite shorts. I love the fact they are a little bit tailored and with a loose blouse I think they look great.  

Vogue Erm Maybe Not

Hope you like a outfits from my holidays I felt really good in these outfits but I guess everything looks better with a tan. 

Thanks for reading

Landed

Hi Guys

So I'm back from Tunisia, well actually I've been back since Saturday but on Sunday me and the guys from work participated in It's A Knock Out and ill do a separate post about that.

I thought I would share a few of my holiday pics with you and mix that in with a little sprinkle of outfit posts.

This was taken in Monastir, Its the mausoleum of Habib ibn Ali Bourguiba who was the first president of Tunisia only back in the 1950s.

Well Covered

Amazing

 I loved the friends we make on holidays they are always such lovely people.

Posers

Here's a few items I bought just before we jetted off and I couldn't be happier with them. Usually around the pool I'm a denim shorts and vest top kind of girl but this year I thought I could try a few cover ups.

Ready To Hit The Beach

 Both of these are from H & M and I felt really good wearing these, you know when its lunch time and you wonder off with a wet bum and feel like everyone is staring at the mess that you look, or is that just me. 

The blue one cost me £10 and is very thin material which is perfect for drying quickly in the sun. I just made sure I wore it with a similar coloured bikini.

Pretty In Pink

This one has to be my favourite but this picture doesn't do it justice and I'm blaming the boy for the photography skills. This cost me £16 but is better material, it didn't come with the belt but I had a skinny pink belt and it matched perfect. I have to say the collar detail and buttons really make it a little more dressy without be to much worn with a simple pair of sandals.

I hope you've all had fab holidays this year and I'll be doing another post with my night time outfits.
