The current subject of major international focus is the Swine Flu. Of course, you don’t need me to tell you that – it’s probably the most talked about thing on the internet right now, seemingly stealing the focus from the ever depressing recession. Being a student I’ve felt slightly cushioned from the talk of unemployment and [...]

Having Waterworks…
The other day I went to Sainsburys in Selly Oak and saw a man (in VERY unflattering leggings) and his son cycling down a path on the other side of the road so I thought, aha! Perhaps a shortcut! So shopping on my arm I followed and discovered that the path actually led to the Birmingham and [...]

It Runs in the Family (I think)
My family isn’t really known for being musical. My dad played trombone and accordion when he was younger (I don’t really know how well!) and my sister played alto sax for a while (and I don’t even know for how long!) I would say I’m probably the most ‘musical’ in my immediate family. However, not [...]

How do you wear yours?
This year Topshop are selling the official Fashion Targets Breast Cancer T shirts for Breakthrough Breast Cancer. Above are some photos of me wearing mine. I saw this video on the Topshop site and had to have one! The song used is pretty cool… The tee has been updated from the old light blue circle [...]

7 Things you need never know about me…
Ooh I feel a bit Miley Cyrus! So I have been set a challenge by Ms Gigbeth herself, aka the lovely Clare Edwards (who on turn given the task by Jaki Booth.) 1. My first job was before I was one (I think) modelling. I modelled for Cow & Gate and Lloyds TSB shareholders. They dressed [...]
