Kirsty is amazing!

I just want to tell the world how amazing Kirsty is.

Seriously - this girl is awesome! She is a fantastic listener, always has an open ear to hear me ramble on about my random crap.

And she's never judgemental or anything. She has some of the best advice I've ever heard and totally gets how my weird little brain works.

I sometimes feel that I do prattle on and dump a load of stuff on her so Kirst I just wanna say you are frickin amazing girl! Thank you so much. I'm gonna miss you tons when I leave!

She has these amazing little pearls of wisdom. And she tells them to me in such an amazing, down to earth way that makes so much sense and always really helps with whatever my little imploding brain is trying to deal with.

"Sometimes you have to be a little bit broken to be a little bit fixed"
"Women have pop-ups and you need to deal with the pop up before you can close it and move on"
"Your like a garden and you just need a bit of pruning"

I tell you - the womans a genius!

She is also amazing at finding super funny cool stuff on YouTube! Kirsty please continue to send me random stuff on YouTube via email!

On a complete side note...I think I broke the flying alarm clock. I smushed it this morning and the properller may be broken. Oh dear! hehe

The Flying Alarm Clock

As anyone who even vaguley knows me will tell you - I dont do mornings! If I need to be out the door at 9 I will roll out of bed at 8:45 and run out the door at 9:05 with odd shoes shoving toast in my mouth.

Ok that might be a slight exageration but I was thinking "Hmm maybe it would be nice to be able to take my time in the shower, have a cup of tea, make my lunch and maybe even get to work on time"

And its not like I dont try. My old phone has 6 (6!) different alarms going off at varying intervals from 7:30 - 8:30. I dont even acknolwedge it until the third or fourth one....


So when Kirsty (the queen of finding all manner of marvalous things online!) suggested getting one of these I  thought it was a FANTASTIC idea!

I was quite chuffed actually, I ordered it on Monday and it came yesterday! So much for "5 working days" - result!

Bascially you set the alarm, then not only does it goe off with a mega loud siren sound but you cant turn it off until you find the lil propeller thing that goes flying off somewhere.

So my mum mananged to get it working (I get frustrated with tiny screws and fiddly buttons, I end up wanting to throw the damn thing across the room). And BOY does it work. Not only was I awoken to a siren but the wind from the thing taking off blew in my face too. I spent 10 minutes looking for the damn propeller (had to shove the base unit under a pillow so as not to wake the whole of East London) only to find it on the blooming bed!

But yeah it works. Now if only it could also remind me to not forget my lunch dispite being up 2 hours before I needed to leave the house...
