So when was your first Snog ;-)?

15? 16? or dare I ask? ;-)...only joking!  Ever seen this?


So what are you thinking now?  If I'm right in what you are thinking, you guys need to think again.  SNOG is all about Pure Frozen Yogurt.  Only came across this late summer last year, and was still a snog virgin to early part of this year!  Snog gives me many reasons why I should have this: -

  • lacks fat...brilliant!
  • shuns sugar...even better!
  • hardly any calories.....excellent!
If you haven't had one, you should definitely try one.  The shop is so funky, with groovy lights and loud music.  The service is brilliant!  The one I went to today had about 9 people serving, they were practically falling over each other!



The one I chose today was green tea flavour, with mango (one of my five a day...yeah!), granola and little chocolate hearts (yes, not so great!).   They have many toppings for you to choose from, the one I had cost £4.95 which was a special, as it would normally cost £6.  And see that pink spoon, its their limited edition SNOG spoon!  I love pink!

What a lovely day....is Summer really here?

Yes it was another gorgeous and sunny day today.  I don't want to jinx it but is Summer really here?  Its so nice seeing my flowers blooming in the garden after the hard work I did last year, digging up the ground to plant all those bulbs...yes it was hard work in my books!


My lovely daffodil from the garden

With flowers blooming, the sun shining, evenings staying lighter, there is even more reason now to be happy.  Look at the lovely sky below!

My Love of Monopoly

At a young age, one of my favourite games was Monopoly.  Always looking for ways to win, build houses and hotels, that was fun!

So imagine my happiness when I saw McDonalds was doing the Monopoly game today.  Lots of chances to win they say, I had 4 chances today, but my colleague had 9!  Wow.  Unfortunately I didn't get any properties but I didn't manage to win a Big Mac.  Yum yum.


So if you are into McDonalds, or into Monopoly, Maccy D's is the place to be!  

I'm love Monopoly so much I even have it on my phone and my ipad! Sad I know! 

Enjoy!

Secret Addictions

Thanks to Sin, he gave me the title of the blog today.  This morning while we were getting ready for work, Sin had his phone on the side, with this game on, called Haypi Kingdom.  Sin plays this game on his phone virtually every day and even has alarms set for them...not really sure what they are for and what the game is about!


Not only has Sin installed this on my phone, he has installed it on my ipad!


So whats my secret addiction?  Well I don't own up all the time, but I love watching The Only Way is Essex!  The relationships on there and the stuff that the guys say do make a good viewing.  If you haven't watched one episode, maybe give it a go!


So whats your secret addiction?

I Love You Mum

For us in the UK, its Mothers Day. Mothers Day is celebrated on different days around the world.

This day may have emerged from a custom of mother worship in ancient Greece.  In Europe there were several long standing traditions where a specific Sunday was set aside to honour motherhood and mothers
In the UK and Ireland, this day is the 4th Sunday in Lent.  For countries like Hong Kong and USA, its tje second Sunday of May.

So I decided to invite my family around to mine for dinner.  M&S Dine In for £15, yum yum.  As it was probably going to be busy at all the restaurants today, I thought that would be the best option.  We can always go to dinner another time.


Yes we got all that for £15!  

Sin decided to get mum some sushi as well as she loves that, a bit weird to go with the roast, but remember us Chinese likes to eat weird and wonderful things. See 



Thank you mum for everything! I love you

Ebay!

I finally decided to go through my stuff and sell things on ebay. Why?  Need to make room for the new season! I somehow managed to form this huge pile!


So what are the top tips for ebay?  Well here are mine: -

  • Try to have the finish time in the evening, Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed or Thurs.  Avoid Friday and Saturday as who will be on the phone on Ebay while in a club?  Don't have it finishing during the day, as if you're at work, chances are everyone else is.
  • Try to have as much information in your title, thats what grabs people's attention
  • Have a look at similar items, to determine your start price
  • The lower your price, the more attention it can capture, if you are worried about the price you will end up selling it at, have a reserve on it
  • Have something in the description about not being held liable if Royal Mail loses it in the post.  Well its not your fault!  Make sure you obtain proof of postage.

April Fools

I know today isn't the 1st of April, but I was too tired yesterday to blog (fell asleep by 9.30pm!...crazy!).  Anyway how many of you got April Fooled??

Not sure what you saw, but I came across a number of things where people were attempting to April Fools.  The first one I came across with Lomography.  Now considering I blogged about the 10 prophecies 2 days ago, I was very disappointed with myself that I fell for this.  So I got this email from Lomography saying that they were launching a Lomography 10 prophecies application onto the iphone.  My first reaction was wow, I wonder what this application will be about, so I went ahead to go and have a look and I fell for it!  I should have remembered the first prophecy, Leave the Digital Grind Behind, doh!


Another April Fool I came across yesterday was from Groupon.  No, I didn't fall for this one!


The description they had were as follows: -

William (Wills) and Kate Middleton (Kate) will be joined in holy matrimony in the luxurious surroundings of Westminster Abbey. Share in the special day of our future King and Queen by throwing Chinese grains at them. After the ceremony, you and your date will gain entry to the after-party in a marquee/tent at Buckingham Palace. Expect cake-cutting, a special best man's speech written by Jimmy Carr, and music from DJ Hazbo (Harry) with classics such as ABBA and Status Quo.


How many of you got fooled?

Happy April
