5 Things I Can't Live Without...

1. My Cat - He knows when I am sad. He cheers me up when I am sad. He loves me unconditionally.
2. My family/friends - My parents are my rock and my pillar. I cannot even imagine how different my life would have been without there love and support. They do not judge me, they have never hurt me & they are always there for me
    
3. One Direction - Oh snigger away. These guys are more than a boy band with a fun rock/pop melody. They are wildly famous, yet down to earth. They make me happy. I could watch hours of interviews with them for their quirky sense of humour. I even had my parents watching them for a few hours (without complaining) 
   Watch their new documentary This is Us (Directed by Morgan Spurlock of SuperSize Me fame) and then tell me you don't like them. 
   The only thing they have in common with Justin Bieber is their age. Otherwise the have manners and are not spoilt brats.
   Apart from 1D, I just can't do without music in my life. I have to listen to music - whether it is angry rock, or calming soothing songs, or something light and happy - there is hardly ever a time when you will find me sitting in silence.
   
   
4. My camera - These photos I take today will be the memories of my tomorrow and the memories for my future generations. A legacy of who I was and where they came from. I want my nephew to look back at all my travels and adventures and be proud of who I was and remember me for what I was regardless of who I may become.
   It is also important for me to remember my life should anything ever happen to me (Alzheimers, demetia etc)
5. My cellphone - I could not go very long without my link to the world. Whatsapp conversations with my friends. Instagram - to keep in touch with the world through pictures. Facebook and Twitter. Google (how else would I know how to boil the perfect egg?) Also a handy backup to take photos when my camera is at home. A music player when the radio is being boring. My constant companion!

What can you not live without?

Oh my hat - she's back!

Hello Blogger-verse, how is everybody doing?

Can you belive how the time has flown?

Things have been a whirlwind of drama, work and more work!

Lying in bed with a bad case of almost-pneumonia, I finally get the chance to update properly.

Lots going on in my life - I can't wait to share it with you!

I will tell you more about my overseas trip once I can figure out how to get all the Notes off my iPad onto my pc.

Note to any future iPad owners out there - make sure you get the one with 3G - without Wi Fi access, your iPad is just one giant iPod Touch - trust me!

So speaking of iPad - have a look at my beauty - I fell in love with her while overseas (because they have wifi at most places)

Why do I love her?

1. When I read books I don't need a light as she is backlit
2. I can update Twitter in a really fun application.
3. Thanks to IMO I can chat to all my contacts on Skype, MSN, Facebook, Google, you name it - all in 1 application!
4. She makes my photos of my future husbands look devine.

I named her: iPrincess

Husband #1

Husband #2

Don't you just love her pink cover?

I spent hours agonising over which cover to take; the nifty leather cover that also enables her to stand up, or this pink rubber cover that looks pretty.

I kept asking myself:

I am 31, and a career woman - the leather one is what I should take isnt it?

But you are only 31 - you are young and funky, take a cover that suits your personality.

But I am 31, this is more mature

But you love pink and it will match your Blackberry!

Pink it was!!

It;s all about accessoising Dah-lings!

iPad - come to Mamma!

I am so blessed - I have been given an iPad as a gift from 1 of our suppliers.

Last year iPod Touch - this year iPad.

I cannot wait to get it - coming from France....
