Forever art they quiz show

Hello and welcome to another blog post on my everyday living site.

So last weekend I watched Alan Carr’s new show Epic Gameshow and I got to say I loved it. I loved Play Your cards right as a kid to an adult and I still love it now. It was Play Your Cards right this weekend but a celebrity one.

I love a game show and it is different ones like Strike it Lucky, Come on Down and many more which at the moment I can’t remember the names of but hopefully get the gist.

Last night I watched a show celebrating Bradley Walsh, who is a Quiz show host, Actor and Comedian, 60th birthday. It was very funny looking back on his career.

Bradley Walsh is one of my claims to fame and I first heard of him when he was a warm up man for a comedy and he picked on my mum’s friend Gill. I been to see him on two shows, I am not going to tell you what they are as I can’t remember them, one was like a bloopers show and the other a talent show.

He has had an amazing career in film and on TV. His most recent show is a quiz show called The Chase, which I love and there is one now where you can play against all the Chaser. Now there are quiz shows I would do but I not sure if could do The Chase as I am alright during the second round where they go against The Chaser. The first and the last round I’d be bloody useless, so I think the only Chaser I’d have is a drinking one to cure my nerves.

He has also done shows like the Royal Variety shows and my absolute favourite, Sunday night at the London Palladium.

I do like Countdown but I am still yet to get a nine letter, I am lucky to get a 6 so I just count my lucky stars that I can get that, and forget the numbers game I am fucking crap.

Maths was never my niche but I do try I just know I am never going to get there.

I like the evening version of Countdown, 9 Out of Ten Cats, because they take the piss which more up my street.

I love Suzy in the Dictionary corner she is my goddess of words, so if I was to team up with someone, not that I like to cheat but it would be her, or my other half Lee McKillop or Stephen Fry.

Then numbers if I could do a swap it would be Rachel and numbers, or I’d bring back Carol Vorderman. Lets face it she knows how to fly, so if we had to make a quick dash out of the studio she is the person to go to.

Now okay so that is cheating but you can’t muck about with such quiz shows because you have to think about Tactics, and no I don’t mean Tik Taks, I mean TACTICS and of the ideal scenario because that is the only way I’d win. I know what people say, it is the taking part that counts, urmmm no not in my book it’s not, so get out of the way brainy and let stupid me have a go.

It amazes how these youngsters get on these shows, and not being rude but some haven’t even hit puberty yet but they still seem to know more than me, and I am now what 41, no chance.

So I am not going to retire and give up my quiz brain that I don’t have for the morning, until once again the quiz shows begin.

Many thanks for reading,

Some Normality back

Free Pictures Of Kids Watching Tv, Download Free Clip Art, Free ...

Hi welcome to another blog. It is the end of another week almost and I am so glad to finally have some normality back.

Come Monday my son will be back at school so we can all have some free time again and he gets to spend time playing with other kids again.

This Lockdown has taken it’s toll that yesterday I lost the plot of what day it was.

I do feel like I have accomplished lots considering the circumstances and tried to make the most of how much time I have had.

Boris Johnson have completely confused everyone about social distancing that we have had to make it up ourselves.

My son has all in all been excellent considering, and still spent some time outdoors, it is always tricky with little ones, but come Monday it will back to the busy school run.

Please check out my blog I wrote on Bloglovin called:

I have created first online course which is available via this link below:

Please see all my books I have published via Amazon.com  

I have been catching up on some TV today, and was annoyed that I missed Not Going out, so will catch up on this show, and also love Car Share, absolutely brilliant.

I also watch the Graham Norton show, and I got to say that good weekend television is back as there are some brilliant TV programs on now, including Britain’s Got Talent, Alan Carr’s Epic Gameshow and Mrs Browns Boys

So lets look forward to the weekend that awakes us to relax before the busy school run begins again.

If you can recommend some good TV please comment below I would love to hear from you.

Many thanks reading,

Spring and summer fashion

Hi and welcome. So in today’s weekly fashion post I am showing some pieces for Spring and Summer.

The first one is a green pattern dress with a pair of slingback black shoes.

My weekly fashion look green patterned dress with black slingbacks

I chose the dress because of the shape. It would suit those who have big boobs and gives and hour glass figure effect.

The slingbacks are a classic style and could be dressed up or down.

white and red patterned dress with gold coloured wedges

 

This is my second look, great for spring and summer. I think the wedges will look brilliant with this dress.

Go perfectly with a Denim Jacket or a white fitted cardigan.

So they are my two picks this week and will post more for my Fashion Look Book next week.

Many thanks for reading,

Music to my ears

Hello and happy Thursday. Almost the end of another week.

Now to say I love music would be an understatement, as I can’t stand a day without it and is what keeps me going, along with the people I love and writing.

There is a song I discovered which I absolutely love and wanted to share because it is such a catchy happy song:

The other song I rediscovered is a song called “Right Here Waiting for you” Such a romantic lovely song.

I love a good old love song and this one really grabs the heart.

Music for me is like a personal message, that the song was written for me, and not for anyone else.

It is something that will never ending, as there will be music being produced and there are so many brilliant songs out there, that often I am like a kid in a sweet shop.

I have now created some fantastic playlists and has saved me so much money, that I haven’t bought a CD for years.

So keep listening to those gorgeous songs and let me know what songs you have been listening to at the moment. You can leave a comment below.

Many thanks for reading,

Why I love to dance

So just now whilst I was having some quiet time listening to music, I came across Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers, and every time I watch them, which now I am into other things have not watched for along time, they still blow me away.

They were such an iconic couple, making film after film with their beautiful dancing.

Check out this clip below of them tap dancing together in the film, Swing Time:

This is one of the reasons I am a big fan of Strictly come dancing because of the performances and the dancing.

It is a proper Saturday night show, and I fall in love with it each time.

If I could pick an ideal date it would be to go out dancing, as I just love it.

Anyone can dance okay not everyone can be like Fred Astaire or Ginger Rodgers but anyone can get up on the dance floor and move. I love to dance and let myself go, when I go to a concert I always make sure I am standing not sitting so I can dance the night away.

It is a good way to keep fit and let your hair down.

So let me know if you too like dancing and Strictly come dancing by commenting below and remember to keep following me on WordPress.com to keep up to date with blogs.

My weekly fashion look book

Hi there and welcome to another post. In this blog post I am sharing some of favourite fashion looks that I have put together for this week.

I love fashion and like to do a look book to help inspire me and get the most out of my  wardrobe. I will be posting on  a weekly basis, sharing some looks from my  look book to inspire others who love fashion too.

meeting the girls for lunch fashion

This is a classic look and great for this time of year. I love a classic vest top, with a nice comfortable fitted cardigan, a well cut quality pair of jeans and a pair of wedged shoes.

I find a wedge shoes is often easier to wear than a court shoe, plus they work well with a good pair of jeans.

Evening coloured spring and summer look

Do you have a black dress. This dress is gorgeous and fits women like me are curvy and I wanted to add some colour so found (above) a lovely pair of stripy coloured stilettos and a bag to match.

I put together some heart jewelry to finish off the look.

Many thanks for reading,

My Top Ten Fashion Pieces

So yesterday and this morning I have been creating myself a new wardrobe and so I wanted to use this makeover to write this blog.

Here are some of My Top Ten Fashion Pieces:

  1. Black trousers always must in my book for work, going out or for casual use. They  are such a versatile that they can be worn all year round. Picture2
  2. The other item I would have is a white shirt. Now with kids it isn’t always  wise as dirt shows up easily, but again can be dressed up or down and can be worn all year round.

3. Denim Jacket. I love having this type of jacket as it is such an easy bit of clothing to wear and I have gotten compliments for wearing won with sequins on.

4. A red top which can be worn up or down, such a nice colour and if you are brunette and pale skin this is the top for you.

My Weekly Blog/What to do during Lockdown

Putney Bridge
My photo taken by Putney Bridge, London

Hello and welcome to another blog. I can’t believe first of all that it is Monday again, start of a new week, yet I have come to realise a lot of things.

I have lost a couple of friends but have gained some new ones, who are my support network at the moment and realised that those that seem to have been on my side weren’t.

I wrote a blog called 10 tips on dealing with betrayal  and boy have I.

So far this year I have had so many ups and downs that some days it has been “Why did I even get up this morning?” but then I have had others where I have thought “Not so bad today”.

When I feel down I rely on my music or speak to my new Love, and these have been what has kept me going.

I have found as I have gotten older my point of view has changed, and realised that I do have talents and that it is time for me to flourish and become the successful person I want to be.

I had more or less been a Housewife, but that was not what I wanted to be at all. I do housework to keep myself busy but if I had a magic wand that did it all, I would most definitely use it.

With the lockdown it has made do some training, lots of writing and catching up on Youtube.

There is always something to do in my book hence why I have been productive and used the Lockdown to get things I wouldn’t necessarily get done otherwise.

I think we can all use this time to run errands at home, and in the long run whilst not many shops are not open, save ourselves time and money.

Please remember you can keep up to date with my blogs by following me and will continue post on this twice a week, and there will be some new videos coming too.

Many thanks for reading.
