Bad Blogger

I have been a bad blogger and havent posted for about 2 weeks now.

A couple of weeks ago me and my friend went to London for the weekend which was AMAZING. I had an absolutely fantastic weekend. This would mark the 3rd time we have been to London in the past year (we have made good use of our rail cards) but every other time we have been we have just been for the day and my friend had a voucher for a free night in a premier inn.
We planned on doing the Monopoly Walk (where you visit each of the streets on the monopoly board) and had booked tickets to go and see Les Miserables on the Saturday night. We also planned to go on the London Eye as we have got Merlin Passes which meant we could go on for free :) So heres a few photos from that weekend.

We, as I have said had an amazing weekend. Les Miserable was fantastic and I have been wanting to see it in the West End for years. My only sadness was that Alfie Boe was off on the night (would have LOVED to see him). We didnt end up finishing the Monopoly Walk. About half way through the sunday we were walking down Regent Street and detoured to see the Palladium and saw lots of people going in (we both thought that there were no shows on sunday) and ended up with front row tickets to the show that started 10 minutes later for £15. What a bargain. The show was fantastic and although an understudy, Sophie Evans is fantastic. Michael Crawford was fab also :)

Since we got back from London I havent really done much. I have been making some decorations for the Harry Potter "Halloween" Party we are having at the Girl Guide group where I am a leader which has been really fun. I am looking forward to tomorrow night :)

Went to see Sarah Millican on Thursday with mum which was ace - she is SO funny. Also went to see Jason Manford on Saturday - Finally... we brought the tickets around 18 months ago and should have been seeing him on 14th July LAST YEAR - but then when he got the job on the One Show he changed all his tour dates. It was worth waiting for though as he was hillarious. 

Anyway I shall try and keep up to date now and blog a bit more.
