Personalised Cool Poster
I love - love - love this idea for Christmas presents, birthday presents etc for those types that are difficult to buy for and would appreciate something more personal than expensive (That is not a hint. I am not that type. I would prefer something more expensive. That's how I roll...)

Mirror Mosaic
Mirrors - best inventions ever for the vain and self centered! I love them!
BUT; never did I think there was another, more decorative use for them other than large and hanging on a wall (or ceiling ;-)...)
During a recent visit to Urban Outfitters in Oxford St recently; my eyes were diverted from the GORGEOUS clothes, shoes and bags to a massive statue of a bear covered in mirror mosaic! I regret not taking a picture - it was over 6ft, and fierce looking!
Have decided I quite like the idea of mirror mosaic now - so many uses!
Kitsch? - yabetcha! Cool? I'd think so... and I think you'll find I am always right!
Kisses,
xx

The proposed war on chocolate - UNCOOL!
Chaps,
We all know that I am not exactly the poster girl for self control; especially when it comes to things like chocolate, bubbles and *cough* tequila.
But; I think, as an adult, one has to take responsibility for the consequences of not being in control and not expect others to regulate things on your behalf. For example: you can't blame the person who bought you all the tequilas on Saturday night or the person who took photos of you looking worse for wear as a result. It's all about choices...
"What brings this up, Mandy-Poo?" I imagine you asking; well, when reading an article in The Metro this morning, there was mention of the British government getting involved in the fight against obesity, by getting companies who make Mars Bars, Coca-Cola, etc to reduce the calories in their products.
The Mars Bar, for example, has a whopping 25% of the recommended daily calories for an adult women.
Hooooooooooooollllllldddd up a minute! GOVERNMENT getting involved to reduce calories in a Mars Bar? Surely not! What are they suggesting is removed from this beloved choccie? The caramel layer? The biscuity goodness?
It's ridiculous.
Fatties can just eat less and exercise more. If I want a full fat coca cola instead of a diet one, that should be my choice as a reasonably functioning, tax-paying member of society.
Over and out.
A Ranting Moo

Moo-sic...
...to soothe the troubled mind?
It's funny how some songs are just so freaking catchy, huh?
I am loving Two Door Cinema Club's "Something Good Can Work" purely for the line "you will always get what you want". Rings constantly in my tiny little brain.
http://youtu.be/1PorW3y5n1w
But my most amazing (but sort of startling) music moment happened on the tube on Wednesday evening - when a bloke came on to the carriage with a battered guitar and with a beautiful, soulful voice, and sang "Romeo and Juliet" by The Killers.
I admit that as I left the train, I felt on the verge of tears.
Wowzer, EMO alert! ha ha ha...
I vote I cheer myself up by going to H&M to get these shorts:
Hugs and kisses,
xoxo

On the market...
I had the pleasure of seeing Mrs Smith on Friday for lunch and gossip in Borough Market. We had a lot of fun making sure she was suitably relaxed for her flight that evening - by drinking New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, French Viognier, and quaffing Champagne (note: not bubbles, this sh*t was gen-you-wine! But I still favour ZAR bubbles... Such a patriot!)
http://www.boroughmarket.org.uk/
The market is not for those on diet. The sights and smells are far too tempting and firstly led us to a stand where we purchased and quickly consumed a chorizo roll (with red pepper and rocket) - yummers!
After that we walked past a fudge stand and promptly ordered 40/40/20 of rock salt, honeycomb and stem ginger fudge (as percentages of 200gm which confused the attendant no end... This was post wine and pre-champagne!)
Soooooo good! It was especially great to get to see someone from home... *sniff*
I miss everyone too much. I know the Biscuit Mill Market or Stellies Market isn't quite up to the standard of the famous London Borough Market, but it is remembered fondly for the time spent there with friends. As is Cape Town in its entirety. I am going to have a lot of fun on my visit home, going to all my favourite haunts and having a laugh with my besties.
A reflective,
Mandy
