Hey My lovely friends,

I am so sorry it has been so long since I last wrote. You see a lot has been going on since we last spoke.

I am now Officially Mrs Tewsday Of Hannant-shire yes me and Mr Sparky tied the knot, after 6 and half years together and 4 of those engaged we thought, with Mum and the cancer lets get Wed and have a mad PARRTAY! which it was!

As you can see Hello Kitty played a major part of the day - Die Hard Hello Kitty Fan through and through!

I would like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who came it was a amazing day and it was filled with so much joy and happiness.

I would also like to thank my Bridesmaids Emma, Clare, Holly and My Chief Bridesmaid Gina you guys rocked love you guys loads!!!!

Of course a wedding would not be a wedding without a Honeymoon and that was of course LUXURY all the way! We spent 2 glorious weeks in the Maldives at Kuredu which was out of this world.

We swam with Manta Rays, Parrot Fish and even found Nemo!
I wrote a great review at TripAdvisor so check it out.

Also we have now got a new Cat! Yes his name is Lester and today was the day for the BIG chop, he no longer will be out on the razz looking for da laydeez now!!!

Well think that’s a quick look at the last few months… Oh still trying to diet and go to the Evil Gym grrrr!

Lots of Love

Hi Guys and Girls!

Well life has been too hectic over the past few months. With my Nanny diing, my Mum’s Cancer battle, A shot gun wedding and to loose a stone before the big day!

So we finally have managed to plan the wedding and get it booked and sorted, It may of took us over 4 years buy finally we are on the road to marriage.

Like every Bride, I have got a dress too small and now having to beat the bulge and get my ass into this dress!

I have less than 8 weeks to do this.

I have tried:

Gym session made up by a trainer: Didn’t loose weight, Got told it will make me slimmer. (with a BMI of 31, i think i need a bit more than just toning!!!!!)

Low fat meals: ummm worked a bit, but i still felt hungry and kept cheating

Kellogg’s cereal diet: I have only done 1 day but it seems to work, i am not feeling too hungry, but today is my day off from work, so i had 2 low fat Hot Cross Buns (i really only needed 1, i feel well full!!!!)

So as you can see i am trying everything out! I am only doing Cardio and a tiny bit of weights on my arms for now. I just need to shift as much as possible, it doesn’t help when you have parties to go to and meals out…..

I have also thought about lent and what to give up…. I thought Wine (I love my wine) But I work with it, and having to go to a big tasting in Manchester in March would not help! (You can’t look a gift horse in the mouth, It’s rude!!!) So I have chosen my most wonderful treat i love…. CHIPS!

So with everything going on, I am fighting! I am fighting to be positive for my mum, I am fighting that i am so going to get in my wedding dress which my lovely friends at work brought for me, and I am fighting the gym (my arch enemy!)

I am a glass full kinda girl! I like to be happy and up beat, too many years of being a teenager bullied and being so unhappy, has taught me this.

I have so much to be thankful for, A loving family, great friends and a man I completely adore and love! What more can a girl ask for!

I of course will keep you updated on how everything goes…..

Lots of Love

P.s has anyone got any MAC hello kitty yet???

I really don’t need to say too much… but the new Hello Kitty Mac Cosmetics line is now available to buy online in the U.S.

Go there now

Of course you’ll need a friend in the America to post it on!

Hi Guys

I have finally joined the world of Twitter. (after watching Lorraine Kelly talking about Phillip Schofield on it!)

I have to admit, I understand the concept - Yes just like Facebook without all the apps!, but it’s  just not that easy to use. (Maybe i am having a blond day!!!!)

I found “following” people easy, but finding what people are talking about hard. I had to go to the bottom of the page and find a little block of links.

Then i noticed people replying to each other! Thought that was fun why not give it a go! That was even more harder, if no one is following you, you have to find the user name copy and paste it after the @ then sent it - what a long way around things!!!!

I am sure in time i will grow to love it, or get bored with it as i have with Facebook apps! (love facebook though, just not all those annoying “give someone a drink” lark!)

So if you ever are on twitter my user name is misskitty83. Very me you would agree!!!!!

Love tews xxxxxxxxxxx

After a quick search on Twitter for Hello Kitty tweets i was alerted to the fact that Hello Kitty is bringing out a Mac Cosmetics range!!!! I’ve signed up for the email alert at Mac Cosmetics straight away!

See a pic off the range on the right.

According to this post the new Hello Kitty makeup will out on February 10th.

Here’s looking forward to more Hello Kitty goodness,

Hi Guys

Well I had bad news the other day, my mum has been diagnosed with Lung Cancer. I am the first person to get angry and shout that she should of never smoked and I have always told her to give up since i was little.

Now the sad truth is that she has now got that dreaded c word.

I don’t bang on about it as much as my poor fiance who is as just heart broken by it all as me, he has a blog Final Puff which he talks about the dangers of smoking. Read his post dedicated to the news here.

The thing with Lung Cancer is you don’t need to smoke to get it, you can be just a innocent bystander; a kid whose parents smoke, someone who works in a bar (thank god for the smoking ban) or just someone with a partner or friend who smokes.

I don’t mean to play the blame game on people who smoke. I have lived with smokers all my life (My mum, dad, Brother, Aunts, Uncles and now evan cousins!) I just wish people would stop such a nasty habit.

Adverts do not work, people who smoke turn them off and don’t look at them, same with the adverts on cigarette papers.

It is such a hard habit to break, my Dad said to me a couple of days ago that he has been smoking for 40 years it’s not something he can just give up. His mother smoked all her life and gave up at 60, she sadly has really bad enthasemia so she can’t live without oxygen units throughout her house all the time.

Please anyone who reads this, Mums, Dads, kids, etc.. think. Think what pain you will bring your family if you get cancer.

I love my Mum more than anything in the whole world she is my bestest friend. She has been through so much, and most of that was with me. I had a horrid Teen life with being bullied and suffering with really bad OCD (which i still suffer with in bouts and i am sure this situation won’t help matters). She is my rock, my light, my angel, and i hate that smoking has done this to her.

So please try and give up smoking before you get the C word.

Walking home i spotted a suspiciously pink banner on an AdShel bus shelter. It contained only a search box with Oohgle written in it. So being someone that is all too easily duped by advertising i checked it out when i got home. Turns out it’s a cunning marketing ploy by a marketing company out to prove the power of advertising. It worked on me with completely no prior knowledge of what Oohgle was all about!

Why don’t you check out Oohgle for yourself (you’ll then be an oohgler?!).. there’s prizes to be won too for a well known cola brand!

Hi Guys

I couldn’t believe my eyes when i saw a Hello Kitty soft toy dressed up as a Panda in a window of a kitchy toy shop in Norwich called Indiana’s Toy Store.

This store is not your normal toy store, this is much more fabulous! They have some crazy toys you just wouldn’t get anywhere else!

You can get Hello Kitty Lanterns, Stitch sunshine buddies and the craziest Barbie’s you could ever find.

The shop is small and can be quite cramped with so much stock but it is so worth delving in to find some great buys.

So if your looking for something kitchy and different for your Christmas presents, you will find it at Indiana’s.

It doesn’t matter how old you are there is always some cool toy you know even the biggest kid wil love!

Love

Firstly a big YAY!.. i’ve got my Hello Kitty Founders Beta email so i can start playing the brand new Hello Kitty Online game! (HKO). For those that don’t know this is an MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game) based around Hello Kitty and friends.

It’s taken an absolute age to download on our basic Virgin Media 2mb connection. I’m now waiting for the software to update which is taking even longerer.

I’ll be logging in soon to join Hello Kitty’s birthday event!! It’s going to be so cool. Just check out the venue:

Hello Kitty Birthday Party - Click for bigger image!!

Will let you all know how i get on. Meet me online soon!!

I spotted the coolest Hello Kitty mobile phone in the 2009 Christmas Gifts catalogue from Argos yesterday. But looking for it today it’s NOWHERE to be seen online.

The new phone is based on this clam shell

It’s based on the Sony Ericsson Z320i. Very rarely can you not find something you’re looking for online. I’ve searched Argos’s website inside out for it but it’s just not there. I searched Sony Ericsson’s site and it’ not there either Here’s the Z320i sans Hello Kitty styling.

If you spot the Hello Kitty phone anywhere please contact me!

Just for the record this isn’t the touchscreen Hello Kitty phone here. Although would love one of those!!!

It’s also not this one either.

UPDATE - 3/11/08:

I’ve scanned in the page. This phone has Bluettoth, MP3, 1.3megapixel camera and video capture. Costs £39.99. I’ve also contacted Argos today. Will update you all if i get a response!!

UPDATE - 4/11/08:

I’ve received a response from Argos customer support. Here’s a quote from the email:

“I can confirm that we do sell this Sony Ericsson Z320I but at the moment it is out of stock.”

So there you have it straight from the horses mouth. It does exist! Looks like we’ll need to keep a vigil on the website!

UPDATE - 10/11/08 - Keep checking Tewsday.com for updates. Still no new stock by the looks of things. Click HERE for the direct product phone lookup on Argos!!
