So last week was quite an eventful one! I will start at the
weekend before. It was Matt’s birthday and we went down to Brighton for the day
on Friday.. The weather was pretty pants, and I ended up feeling quite unwell.
Overall though it was a nice day and I enjoyed spending it with Matt.
Saturday was brighter and I made Matt pancakes (1.1kg worth
eeep!!) and then I went to the hairdressers. I made a scary choice to get rid
of the platinum bleach blonde. For a while now I have been struggling to get my
roots up to the white blonde colour, so I have been left with yellowy band. It
has also taken a toll on the quality of my hair. I have had parts that have
snapped and that are exceptionally dry. Then added with the fact that I can’t
do it myself and my sister now refuses and I am pretty sure my mum wasn’t
willing to do it for the foreseeable future I thought maybe a change was in
order.
I have opted for a more toned down blonde and darker bits
added to the roots to add some more shades and colour in there. The plan is to
let my natural hair grow through for a while, give it a break from bleach and
have a softer more natural look.
I was very pleased with the outcome; it has taken me a week
to get used to it. I was convinced I was brunette for a few days as it seemed
so much darker, but actually it’s just a softer version of what I had. It has
been over a week now and I can’t actually see my roots! (Usually I would have a
thin black line at the moment even though my hair isn't dark naturally)
I have another appointment on the 11th April.
That is 4 weeks, so I should have a fair amount of regrowth. At the moment I
don’t know what I want to do but I shall see what happens when the roots come
through. I feel I should also really get a haircut soon haha! I am hoping that
by the summer my hair will be much healthier and happier.
Then the VERY exciting part is that Lisa won tickets to the
Game of Thrones red carpet premiere at the Tower of London and invited me
along. My inner fan girl cried a little and the rest just screamed. So on
Wednesday we finished work at lunch time and we then got all dolled up and
headed up to London. We had some lunch and after that it is all a very surreal experience.
We had to go to a pub and wait for about an hour and then
headed off to some coaches that drove us to the Tower of London. That in itself
was crazy; to see all the fans outside and we were ushered in. The fan area was
amazing, it was small and intimate, but there was plenty of room for everyone
so no one was pushing or shoving.
I was skeptical about who we would meet, and how many people
we would meet, but I was amazingly blown away with how many people we got to
meet, got photos with and I got autographs from!
Kit Harrington was the first down the carpet, I got his autograph
and Lisa got a selfie with us too! The rest was a blur, but I met Mark Gatiss
and also spoke to Aidan Gillen, even if it was him saying he couldn’t stop as
he was ushered away. (Teenage dream came true right there!)
PREPARE FOR A PHOTO SPAM :D
We meet so many of the cast and got loads of awesome photos!
I got a calendar front page signed, it is currently in with
a framer to get framed properly and I cannot wait to see it!
It's not quite sunk in yet that I was on the red carpet and I met the starts of Game of Thrones! My inner fan girl is most certainly happy at the moment!
The whole night was a blur, and to be honest with you most of its just all mashed in my brain. One highlight was Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) came over and asked if we had been there for long and we said a few hours and he said, 'you must be cold!' and grabbed our hands and gave them a rub :D ehehe
I hope this week is good, as I have been on a bit of a come down since then!
This time next week though we shall be going into April, and i shall be COMPLETELY debt free and HOPEFULLY I will have gotten my ass into gear to lose this darn Christmas weight. It seems to love me too much and is sticking around! UGH!
Happy Mondays all.
