Don't buy a sim free phone from phones 4 u

by JessicaSmith @ Thursday, Jun. 19, 2008 - 07:18:02

Don't buy a sim free phone from Phones 4 u with cash as when it goes wrong after two days of use they won't give you a refund. Apparently it's all to do with having a disclaimer in the shop! Even though it is not to be seen anywhere. The real reason is because they don't make any money out of sim free phones? So now i have a broken phone

Who would have thought Leicester had some little corners that are pleasant to stay? A few weeks ago stayed in Leicester the Hotel Maiyango. Well the entrance was a bit strange, the room was nice and spacious, modern etc...the roof top bar was very swish with views of rooftops...but the best bit was the beautiful food in the restaurant..Probably one of the best meals I've had in ages! Cocktails were cool too...Cosmopolitan anybody???Hotel MaiyangoHotel MaiyangoRoof top bar Hotel MaiyangoRestaurant Hotel MaiyangoHotel Maiyango

Today I went to Marbury Park for a walk with ickle man and Mum & Dad. We were walking off our very nice meal at the Limes in Sandbach. I had Mousakka mmm just like being in Greece very tasty!
At Marbury Park we found sweeping avenues of lime trees. The park’s woodlands are carpeted with Bluebells at this time of year which was very impressive..picture postcardBluebells.

Sandbach has plenty to Shout about with First Ever Festival Princess

The Sandbach Transport Festival Committee are pleased to announce the selection of our Festival Princess 2008.

Kirstie Orr 18 was chosen by a selection committee on Saturday at the Wheatsheaf Hotel in Sandbach, from a number of late entrants to the competition following articles in the press.

Kirstie a Sandbach girl all her life loves Sandbach and is excitedly looking forward to her reign as Princess and representing the town at the Transport Festival and other functions.

Kirstie is an extremely confident young lady who has recently been awarded a Senior Community Award for her fundraising, she has raised £2500 for a rare condition called F O P, a disease that sees muscles turning to bone, eventually the sufferer has two skeletons.

Kirstie attended Sandbach High School, is a member of the Crewe Matrix Cheer Squad (who are National Champions), taught Judo to younger children and is an active member of the community. Kirstie is currently studying for her BTEC in Health and Social Care at South Cheshire College in Crewe.

Part of Kirstie’s prize is sponsored by Wedding Bliss, One Stop Wedding Shop, Old Church Hall, Vicarage Lane, Elworth who are providing loan of the very beautiful Princess Dress, satin wrap, Princess Tiara, pearl necklace and shoes. They are also providing a 1930’s vintage style long bodied Beauford Open Tourer with open top for Kirstie to head the Carnival Parade with TV celebrity Claire Sweeney on the Saturday. On the Sunday Kirstie will also head the Sandbach Transport Festival parade in the Beauford Open Tourer with the Sandbach Festival of Transport Committee Chairman Graham Alcock. Graham said “We must make Special thanks to Jean & Ron Sproson from Wedding Bliss for making our Festival Princess Kirstie feel extremely special”.

Lucky Kirstie is also having pampering nail, hair and tan sessions this week kindly donated by Debbie from HBW Hair & Beauty Works, 5 Welles Street, Sandbach. Owner Debbie said “It’s a pleasure to give something back to our town of Sandbach and get involved in the Community”. HWB are unusual as they offer Ladies and Gents hair and beauty services including on the long list back waxes for the guys! Ouch!

Kirstie begins a fantastic year by being crowned by television celebrity Claire Sweeney on Saturday 19th at 12.30pm in the main arena (large Common), who will both then lead the Carnival Procession from Grangeway Elworth into Town. Claire Sweeney is currently starring at the Regent Theatre in Stoke on Trent in the Stage musical Shout. Many thanks to Sue at The Flower Shop, Sandbach for donating the bouquet to be presented to Claire Sweeney on Saturday. Other exciting appearance dates for Kirstie’s diary are The Caudwell Children’s Winter Wonderland Charity Christmas Ball and Crewe Carnival. This year Sandbach Transport Festival is helping raise funds for Caudwell Children’s Charity and is closely linked with the Charity.

Not that I'm a Red Liner or anything

by JessicaSmith @ Wednesday, Apr. 09, 2008 - 07:37:46

Yesterday I was driving on fumes. I've got this thing about buying petrol at the best price... and ran out of petrol on the M6 Jnct 16 roundabout! Hmm not the best place to do that. Had to do the walk of shame in my high heels and my green petrol can to the 100m away petrol station..much to the joke of passing white van drivers..blushes.

Meredith Kercher

by JessicaSmith @ Thursday, Apr. 03, 2008 - 21:49:19

For many reasons I think the Italian press is quite refreshing as you are presented with the evidence as their investigation goes along. However when specific video evidence that is obviously from a police file leaks out it is very upsetting. I have been following this case since day one as unlike the U.K they take a long time to charge anyone. The video clip you can find on the internet must be very upsetting to her family and I can understand that they may take it further.

Sir Alan Sugar

by JessicaSmith @ Thursday, Apr. 03, 2008 - 21:08:04

Dear Sir Alan,
I just have to thank you for the feel good factor that your programme The Apprentice gives to people in the U.K. I think it is underestimated as to how much pleasure it actually brings to the general public. I for one find humour, interest, intelect and also entertainment. I look forward to watching it every week. A round of Applause from this office worker!!

Dying Clothes in the washing machine

Hmm well I was going to throw some clothes out that had gone a bit grey but decided instead to dye them black in the washing machine...ooo I'm loving my new clothes!! All I did was put a washing machine £6 velvet black dye with 500g of salt in the machine at 40degrees and the result is very pleasing... so get changing your clothes!!
