*~*~* My glittering stars *~*~*

So I am finally pulling my finger out and attempting to blog. It all feels rather self indulgent if I'm honest, and I don't even know if anyone will read my ramblings, but just getting things out there is an idea that really rather pleases me. Over time I may fill in little snippets of my life up until now, but for the time being I will mostly just waffle as ideas come to me. I am always thinking of things I'd like to say, so now I have a medium other than Facebook and Twitter in which to do this. One that feels mildly more meaningful and appropriate. I have been through a lot and one thing that I have learnt is that the greatest friends stick it out and ride the wave with you. They may veer off every so often, and we may all spread out and get caught up in different things, but at the end of it all, they'll still be there to meet you on the beach for a high five and a beer. I hope a few people read my ramblings and appreciate that I care about things and indee

Everybody loves a good motivational quote, right? Well I read one the other day that I really love. "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's learning to dance in the rain." I do enjoy that. Even more so because I am a girl who loves to dance in the rain in my underwear. I am also very keen to live life to the fullest, however I can. So this really just struck a cord with me. Don't get me wrong, if I could choose I am pretty sure I'd go for endless sunny days, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the rain. It can refresh, renew and replenish. There'd be no rainbows without it. And if you haven't got somewhere to be with lovely straight hair, you can have a good old chuckle splashing about in it. We all have a past and we can only hope to have a future, but it's what we do in the here and now that matters. So next time the heavens open dig out your wellies, put on your best undies and go dance like no one is

I, like a fair few of you I imagine, got quite into Chris Moyles and Dave Vitty doing their thing for 52 hours. It was entertaining from start to finish, and so refreshing to see that in this day and age, where we are constantly being asked to dig in our pockets for one thing or another, people can still be so generous. It was quite amazing, partly because it was such a normal thing to do. When they go off and do these wonderful treks and gruelling expeditions, that is fantastic, but just two blokes doing their job and not leaving for two days kind of hits home with a lot of people I think. You can relate to it more, and everyone’s been through the cabin fever thing or stayed awake for a day or two at some point, so I think people are even more inclined to get involved because of the proximity of it. It’s always nice to be a part of things like this too. Comic Relief is a great charity that does on-going work the world over so it’s quite special really. I have always supported Co
