Fat Girl has officially now been “on the run” for over a year. Happy Birthday Blog. We’ve also celebrated the bizarre and somewhat unbelievable news that some 1300 people have visited this blog from 69 countries in the past 3 months – at least that’s what my neocounter tells me. Now whether that’s 1300 individual people or the same 26 people 50 times, I have no idea. But either way I’m both flattered and flabbergasted. Of course, that could also mean that I have perhaps a handful of my best friends who log on every couple of days to see if I'm talking about them… to see if I’m being a two faced back stabber. I may never know…
Last week, I also got to celebrate The Nieces birthday. Twice. She’s like The Queen that girl with her two parties – one for the old folks (of which I am officially now one) and one for her toddler chums from nursery. Both were fabulous, although she was rather under the weather, so we were probably more excited by the cake and sparkly presents than she was.
Boo and I also hosted a lunch for both Mums. When I say Boo and I hosted, what I mean is, he took me to the supermarket to buy the food and picked up both mums to deliver them safe and sound. I meanwhile did all the cleaning, tidying and flower arranging before hand, then all the preparing, cooking, serving and drink topping up. We kind of shared the tidying up. At least, I think we did – I truly can’t remember. They (The Mums that is) got on fine and dandy, and I think I impressed Mrs V with my one-pot chicken skills enough to entrust her first borns' dietary needs to me full time from next May…
Now last night I was lucky enough to get invited to the West End Gala Opening Night of Never Forget the Mama Mia-esque Take That musical. It’s silly, camp, funny and seriously cheesy but great fun for a sing-a-long with your girlfriends. Interestingly enough, the fellow who plays Jake Turner (the pretend Robbie Williams) used to temp at the same Housing Association with me. I remember him as being good fun, very tall, and seriously charismatic. He always said he was a struggling actor. Not struggling so much now ey. How fabulous. PS – I shared the red carpet with Toby Anstis (who I think might be stalking me), Richard Arnold, Julian McDonald and non-other than newsreader Phil Gayle. Now, when I say “shared”…..!
Could not be looking forward more to the Bank Jollybobs this weekend. Lots of sleeping and lounging about with Boo I hope. Perhaps we might make some more buns. And then eat them all.
