In Celebration of Love and Friendship

Another late spot of night owl me time. VERY excited today as my favorite celebration, possibly of the year is so close I can taste it. I LOVE anything celebrating love so Valentine's is quite heavenly for me. I usually manage to steer clear of the red roses, chocolates, Hallmark cards thing. For as long as I can remember I've made cards and often presents too. I have to confess to buying myself the odd treat too! One year a sparkly purse, today some ramekins (£1.25 each from Burts Homewares in Hove)! Can't wait to try some raspberry creme brulee in those, my hubbie makes the best I've ever tasted, I swear the restaurant efforts pale in comparision. I hadn't realised it was served cold as his was always fresh and warm so anything else just doesn't seem right. I also got the BEST EVER alarm clock. I HATE alarm clocks, but this.. well I'll add a picture and just say it speaks... it says 'I Love You'.. what better way to wake up! - even if it is an American woman-machine voice. I got my son a love hearts and kisses rubik cube in the £1 shop, and my daughter heart rubber and hairbands.. for Sarah a heart candle (£1), for Nadia a woven phone case (75p), and Lilla a necklace (50p). Amazing bargains and gifts to be treasured. I'm showering one and all with little tokens of affection and it feels great.

Tomorrow I am hosting the Brighton Valentine's Special event of the National Phenomenon Baby Loves Disco. SO excited about that too. We've nearly sold out the 250 capacity venue of the Komedia in Gardner Street. Great team to work with, big up Nadia, Lilla, Sarah, Mark, Lisa, Claire, Gemma and all. Looking forward to moving and grooving to some top 80s disco faves. Gonna be so so fab. To quote Corrine Bailey Rae, 'go put your records on, sing me your favorite song, just go ahead let your hair down!' Big kisses everyone XXXXXXXXXXXX
