Yesterday saw babe Keelys younger sister turning 21, so to celebrate this, last Friday saw half of the Flux staff and many others turning out for her fancy dress party.

Leah decided against a theme so the fancy dress was anything goes! From Captain Jack Sparrow to a lifeguard to Cruella De Vil! The birthday girl herself transformed into Aphrodite, whilst babes Keely, Rachelle and myself were Marie Antoinette, a raver and a flapper girl!

The best dressed of the evening for me had to be John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg (aka LOG and COG) from the 1981 Wimbledon men’s final. They even went as far as recreating the match outside…obviously I would never condone the use of children as a net – but they volunteered.

Everyone had a great time, the outfits were brilliant and the main thing was everyone succeeded in getting the birthday girl rather tipsy!!

Happy Birthday Leah!!

Well this year, my experience of the French Car Show was a little different from 2007... As you can see from the pic - I wasn't donning the lycra (or the heels! check out little miss midget in the middle there!) My role at Flux involves a lot of planning and organisation of the shows we attend, so really I had to be on hand to help set up and muck in with all the work that goes on behind the scenes. For many of the girls this year it was there first show - and they all did a fantastic job! Despite nearly getting blown away by the major winds!

The pictures from the weekend will all be on the website soon, but if you really can't wait - check out our Bebo and Facebook pages! If you were there at the show why not leave a comment too - as we'd love to know what you thought...

Bye for now...

At the begining of April it was my 25th (cough cough, oh alright 27th) birthday and so to celebrate I decided it was best spread it over 2 weekends.

The first weekend was spent down in St Albans and London, with me being taken out for a suprise birthday day. The suprise came in two parts - the first was that we opened the curtains in the morning to snow - lots of snow. The second was that we were headed to London Zoo (somewhere I've been wanting to go for ages).

After a snowy stroll through Regents Park admiring the several snowmen that people seemed to have made in record time (it was about 10:30am), we arrived at the Zoo entrance with me being rather excited!

Due to the lack of elephants my favourite of the day was the Okapi. The Gorilla's bascially posed for photos, and the tiny monkey on the loose was entertaining. The penguins loved the weather and the giraffes seemed totally confused by it!

Then on the Monday and my return home, I wandered to the local with my family and spent the evening there.

Weekend 2 involved a group of us going for a meal at Pizza Express. A large part of our time there was used with us taking several pictures (some involving the table flowers) and no-one really being that interested in the food....

A joke-off was held between LOG and 'lil McCarthy (see 'lil Mc above) - I have no idea what the winning joke was, but the 2 favourite's of the night were about snowmen smelling carrots and 3 pieces of tarmac. Our very own Charlie also made a beautiful snowflake with her napkin - but wouldn't have her picture taken with it! Jenny kept asking for extra vodka...our self-confessed highly accident prone babe managed to end the night in one peice - despite the rather high heels....

This weekend may be a quiet one....



Thanks to all who celebrated with me - LOG, Leah ('lil Mc), babes Jen and Charlie, possible future babe Keely, Caroline, Fliss and Jay and the Okapi. x

A couple of weekends ago 3 of us ‘babes’ teamed up with Volksworld Insurance Services and morphed into Volksworld Insurance Services Babes for the 2-day show held at Sandown Park

(L-R – Laura, Charlie & Jem)

In true March form, it was a rainy weekend but luckily our stand was indoors (good job considering our outfits!) and we were surrounded by some amazing bugs and buses, of which we still can’t decide our favourite! However, the weather didn’t stop the huge turnout – or those camping! The show had a great atmosphere and we got the chance to get out of the office and meet some great people. Our lovely Laura also presented the winners their trophies at the end of the show!

A special thank you must go to the man who brought us bottles of water and the guys who supplied the chocolate to keep us going!!

Not to mention at big thank you to the VWIS guys for looking after us and letting us steal their Volksworld hoodies – they were much appreciated!

We hope to see you all again next year!
