With the World Cup nearly over and done with for another four years, it’s time for me to think about other things rather than football!  We’re planning a big family BBQ next week, so I’m going to pick up some lovely bright coloured cutlery, plates and bowls from TK Maxx to take along. I’ll also be taking along some lovely kebabs, fresh salad and a bottles of beer from Somerfield – now let’s just hope the weather holds out for it.

My top tip for this time of year is to start preparing for the Summer nice and early.  In the past I have left it a bit too late!

I like to head down to the gym and start building my muscles up ready for the really hot days when I need to bare all. So I suggest paying a trip to TK Maxx to stock up on all your gym equipment.

For those of you out there that feel a bit pale but dont get chance to sun themselves, Primark have a great fake tan in store for just £1.50 - or so I have heard!

After the Easter eggs have been consumed and the roast dinner has been finished, it could be time to get out and about.

A well-balanced life style is easy to achieve and it’s important to make it fun! Pop into TK Maxx and treat yourself to some new kit for the gym. Or make the most of the weather warming up and get on your bike and get active! Perhaps you could pick up a few items to help you work out at home, for example, a fit ball used in Pilates.

Thoughtfulness can go a long way, so set aside some quality time together.

Set the perfect tone for a first date with sensational but simple dishes from Somerfield that will leave your partner hungry for more.

If you’re settled with your soul mate but still smitten, rustle up a lavish feast for two, opt for simple canapés followed by a sensuous Italian dish and top for the evening with a bottle of classy red and a sweet dessert.

I hope all is well, and people around Leicester are preparing for christmas. Since my last post I have been involved with the haymarket in the advertising campaign with the ‘digivans’ which were around the city centre for the four saturdays in october. For those who got a chance to see them I am sure you will agree that they outfit I was wearing was a great look. what a bargain outfit, Jeans, shirt, and tie all under £30 from peacocks and very smart aswell. I then did my first fashion show last weekend which I thought was a great success. I modelled 5 outfits on the day which again like the outfit I modelled for with the ‘digivans’ I was very impressed not only with the price but the look of al five types of clothing. Outfits that I wore were from Primark, Tk Max, suits plus and unfortunately the name of the other store has just vanished from my memory. Still some great bargains to be found around the Haymarket and I hope people over the festive season people take full advantage. Take care all xx
