Memphis, Marriage and Burgers

I love London! Really love it! In fact, I hope to live there one day. We had a fabulous Hairspray cast reunion outing about 3 weeks ago now, so naturally I couldn't resist sharing it with you. It was a day filled with train journeys, damn good burgers and some very flexible dancers!

I started the day, as I start most, not knowing what to wear that day. Give me Cher's wardrobe organiser in Clueless! The three pictures above are the photos that I sent to my friend Helen, so that she could help me choose what to wear. We all have that one friend...Helen is mine. High five Helen!

In the end, we settled on the first picture because we're both pretty keen on wearing black (it's a pretty safe bet) and ultimately it was the comfiest outfit to travel and walk around in. I teamed black leggings, tube skirt and high necked vest top with a floral kimono from New Look and my Boohoo platform boots. 

WE'RE GOING TO LONDON TO BUY A HEAT MAGAZINE! Well actually I picked up a copy of Glamour and I asked for 'the biggest hot chocolate you can make me' while I was at Stoke Station. Hella basic bitch.

I started out on the train on my own, and was soon joined by the fabulous Helen and Laura. Havoc ensued. Obviously.

So there we were, drinking sprite, eating ginger biscuits, wearing sexy wristbands (you know those ones for travel sickness? Sexy!)...let's go and play tennis. 

See, I told you it wouldn't make much sense.

Laura: "What's the station just before you get to London called?...Walsall?"

No Laura, that would be Watford...

A quick few girlie shots pre-Memphis! 

So there we were having burgers in Byron- damn good burgers I may add. And then popped across the road (literally across the road) to the Shaftsberry! 

There's me and Laura 5 rows from the front of the stalls. I can't even put into words how amazing Memphis was and Beverly Knight left me speechless! If you get chance to see the show before it closes then do it. Honestly, London should be in mourning the day this gem comes down for the last time. I simply don't understand why this is leaving town while there are pieces of absolute tripe staying. But that's an angry rant for another time...

And, so...this happened when I got home. After a quick tweet thanking Matt Cardle for his amazing performance, he followed me!! Basically, this pretty much means that we're going to get married and he's probably going to pop the question any day now. Oh Matt, you gorgeous gorgeous man!
