The Fairytale Wedding

It's taken me a while to realise I should have written a blog post about this. The wedding of the century: Prince William weds his sweetheart Catherine Middleton on 29/04/2011.





I don't know about you but when I first heard about the wedding I was happy for Wills. It's so nice to see a young couple in love, the last thing on my mind was my tax money (I'll come back to that later). When I heard we'd be getting a day off work I was even happier. Nothing beats an extra long weekend :-)

On the morning of the wedding I couldn't sleep, I was that excited. Anyone would have thought I was attending the wedding myself. Of course the fact the wedding was broadcast on tv, you really did feel like a part of the day anyway.

I have to say, I did feel rather choked watching the wedding and I think it was because I could feel the love between them. So many celebrities and people in the public eye claim to love one another (Katie Price claims to love everyone) but how many of them really do? How many of them are with their partners for their own personal gain? With Wills and Kate you could really see that they meant every vow they said and they were so aware and attentive to one another. Kate looked gorgeous, her dress was stunning and Wills had no problem telling his girl she looked beautiful.

I know so many people who said they weren't going to get sucked in to watching the wedding but then couldn't keep away and every single one of them were moved by it. Obviously you had the scrooges who moaned about the fact their tax money was being spent on the wedding. Bah humbug. The way I see it is this; once your tax money is gone it's gone. Your tax money is currently being spent on so many things you probably don't agree with but we don't get a say about where the money goes. Why complain? You can't do anything about it. Why not sit down, hush up, watch the wedding or don't that's your choice and enjoy your day off?!

I was surprised to see so many street parties around my area. There was even a Caribbean BBQ, complete with reggae music and British flags. It was lovely to see so many happy faces for a change.





I wish the now Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, every happiness and I hope the media leave them alone to enjoy their marriage and life together.

Double Standards!!!

Don't you just hate them?  Like, people say one thing, either about themselves or a certain situation but it's the total opposite for them, like it's not ok for you but it's all good for them.    The term double standard , coined in 1912, refers to any set of principles containing different provisions for one group of people than for another, typically without a good reason for having said difference.  A double standard may take the form of an instance in which certain concepts (often, for example, a word, phrase, social norm, or rule) are perceived as acceptable to be applied by one group of people, but are considered unacceptable or taboo when applied by another group . Taken from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_standard . I've recently been in a situation where a double standard was applied.  I didn't even realise it at first and the truth is we are all faced with double standards every day in our lives.  For example, people will s...

JHUD (that's her twitter name)

Jennifer Hudson's weight loss has been the topic of many a discussion. Jen has gone from supersized (not that she was big in the first place) to superskinny. When I first saw the new trim Jen I remember thinking "wow Jennifer's lost so much weight" and not being sure whether or not I liked the new look. When I could see the beauty that is Jennifer still existed in her face, I decided ok, maybe she looks alright but now I think she's in danger of becoming a lollypop head; you know that syndrome when you lose too much weight and your extra skinny body has to hold up your rather large head (which hasn't lost any weight whatsoever). It seems to me that Jennifer has lost even more weight. Isn't there a point where you just say, "ok I look good let's just maintain this". People take diets too far. I'm all for doing what feels right for you. Jen wanted to lose weight and good for her, she's done it but at some point don't you have to...

10 Reasons Why I Hate the Tube

My friends and family all know how much I hate travelling by tube in London. It is one of the hardest tasks in our day to day lives and one of the biggest tests you will ever face. If you can survive an entire tube journey with a smile on your face and not one negative thought about where you are and the people around you, then you deserve 3 gold medals. These are the 10 reasons I hate the tube (and there's probably more). 1. When the tube is packed and people tell you to move down. First of all where do you expect me to move to and second why should I move? I'm quite comfortable where I am. If you want to squeeze up in this teeny tiny space your more than welcome to come and try. 2. When you're sitting on one of those fold down chairs and somebody with a back pack or newspaper gets on and stands over you. Dude, why is your bag/newspaper in my face? Take it off and put it on the floor between your legs and stop reading because if this train jerks forward and you fall on me,...
