As you can see me and my friend Nicola went to V Festival last weekend and it was fab!! We had been looking forward to it for ages and it didn’t disappoint.

Amy Winhouse was a little late and looked a little tiny but at least she was there- wahoo! and sang WAHOO!! ha.

We went to the Chelmsford V fest and got tickets for the Sunday. Lenny Kravitz (opposite) was amazing and really made my friends day/week/year because she is totally besotted with him and I have to admit he is looking good for a man in his late forties!! yummy!

Me and Nic spent rather a lot of time watching the Sloggi dancers and in the Bacardi tent then anywhere else, ha but we sneaked in a few other artists!

Like my faves!! Girls Aloud, I love them! they are all so gorgeous and I love their songs!!! Cheryl looked amazing I can’t believe how hard they must work as they played at the other V sat and Peterborough Saturday night. They are hardcore.

Finally a little piccy of me and Nic, its an awful pic of me- boo, but we spent so much time messing about in the Bacardi tent I hardly remembered to take any pictures!! ha ha!

Either way, as always lots of fun whenever I see Nic and I would definatley go next year, hopefully we can get weekend tickets next time!!

Finally!!! Here are some of the pictures from Bug Jam at Santapod! Sorry it took so long! As most of you know Bug Jam was actually on 18th,19th and 20th July! Well I hope the pictures were worth the wait!

Flux Babes- Penny, Rachelle & Me (Keely) went for the Saturday and Sunday. We were there helping our our sister company HIC on the Just Kampers stand. If you were there and lucky enough to see one of us you may have even got yourself a Just Camper keyring or mousepad!

If you did, you would have been very lucky to have got a mousepad because they went like hotcakes! They were all gone by saturday lunch time. But they were rather cool Camper-shaped ones though, I wanted one for myself- sniff.

The picture above is of me, Penny & Rachelle posing by a really cool bay camper! We were all converted to VW’s that weekend I think! The campers were soooooo cool! But the coolest VW there had to be Just Campers ‘VanCake’! They made the worlds lowest VW Transporter! It was brilliant to watch them making it- if a little dangerous as we got a bit closer…. theres no holding the Flux babes back! ha! I’m sorry I don’t have a picture of it but they managed to get it painted and everything in 3 days!!! and the plan was to race it on the Santapod race track!

Opposite is a VW I fell totally in love with, its called a ‘Bootle’….awwwwww! Sorry I know its really girly to call a car ‘cute’ but- godamit! it is! There was even a little storyboard leaning on it too, showing the making of the bootle which made it even more endearing! I want one!!!!!!!

I am seriously considering getting a VW (most likely a bug!) as lets face it, it has to be more reliable than my car- and much cooler! Plus I really want to go again next year and so obviously I will need a VW if im goin to camp! Otherwise it will just be embarrassing!

Below is a picture of Penny, Rachelle & me in front of one of the many cool split screen campers that were in top condition. The interiors were spotless and so well done. I do like it when the interiors are all colour co-ordinated and there was cute little finishes like cushions etc- you know how us girls like decorative cushions!

We were there Sunday to, til the end -Hardcore babes you see! and our main job that weekend was to advertise Just Kampers competition which was a years free insurance. 2nd and 3rd prize were Just Kampers vouchers- very helpful too all those VW fans restoring their cute little campers!

Of course there were some more ‘manly’ VW’s which I also loved, like the VW camper pickup at the top. I was really interested in the VW’s that had been restored to look a bit rusty and ‘used’. I was asking all the owners loads of questions and i still feel like I know hardly anything! Next time I go I could really do with brushing up on my VW facts as I felt rather limited in my knowledge, especially in comparison to the dedicated VW owners.

Oh and I think we should camp too! Although… I would most likely look a LOT less glamourous. Yes, I probably shouldn’t admit to it but we did stay in a hotel that weekend with all the lovely mod cons….and a indoor loo! Maybe next year…maybe!

Below is a rather fab looking tank we liked the look of! We basically leapt at the owner and thankfully he agreed to let us have a seat. I think this should have been our transport for the weekend, it certainly would have been very useful in getting through the crowds! mu ha ha!

The whole weekend was really sunny and beautiful weather, poor Rachelle was kicking herself for leaving her sunglasses in her car! As you cab see in the background there was even a funfair!!! It looked really fun but unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to even go on the bumper cars. We work so hard- sigh! ha ha.

All in all it was great weekend, everyone was smiling and friendly and the cars and campers were awe inspiring. The time and love that classic VW owners spend on their vehicles really shows and I will definately be there next weekend even if I go as a non-babe!

Just had a weekend in Marbella on a hen weekend, the weather was fantastic and the hotel was great and so was the company (mainly semi naked guys, he, he) I had a fab time although boots have messed up my pics so these two are the only two I have! One was taken by the girls and one was taken by a group of lads we met! guess which one the lads took?

>A few months ago I brought my first house, and since then a lot of my evenings and weekends have been taken up with painting, sewing, sofa buying, gardening and scaffolding….yes I said scaffolding!!

My lovely little house has a velux window – that can’t be reached from anywhere – lounge landing or bedroom. So in order to clean, varnish and replace the blind (which didn’t appear to have been done ever since the place was built over 20 years ago) we had to get the scaffolding in!
The scaffolding was rather a lot larger than I’d imagined and so most of the lounge had to be emptied into the bedroom and garden.

Thankfully it only took 1 ½ days to get everything done, so the disarray of my house wasn’t for long. I’m happy to say that it won’t have to be done again for another few years…unless I change my colour scheme….

Now all that’s left to do is the garden fence, carpeting, a new kitchen, wallpapering……
