you know the score!!!

So me @nadstarboooom and Maria @mariafowler hit Essex again on Friday night. I actually had a meeting Friday morning in central London and then we decided I may as well stay down and go out...SHOCK! So easily tempted....although I think it was my idea ;)


Obviously went to NUBAR heres a few pics. Next week its Manchester so finally Star Life will bring you something different!!!


On another quick note its great to have the football season back! I was buzzing to watch my Spurs finally in Premier League action last night. There was something inevitable about the result though. We always play differently at Old Trafford, I don't know if its Harry passing down doubts or if the players don't believe we can win there, personally I think its Harry when I hear him speak before games at OT thats the vibe I get. We match them, as usual, then totally fall apart when they score a goal. How disappointing was it to see Welbeck left unchallenged between our 2 centre backs. Basic defending mistake! Uniteds 2nd goal was pure class though. On a Modric subject my thoughts are what they have been since he said he wanted to go...."see ya!!!" As far as I'm concerned we have Niko and he plays centre mid for Croatia and I am more than happy for him to as Spurs....at least he wants to play for us!!


Onto the weekend pics....

 Jimmy Bullard bar dancing!

V.cute couple! Will we be seeing @Mrcraigchurch on the new season of TOWIE?!?!?! 



Maria Fowler's birthday BONANZAAAAA!!!! WOOOOOOO

So this blog is a few days late, its because this weekend has totally killed me and I have been in bed recovering!! What a weekend it was!

Once again I set off to Essex on Saturday to take part in 2 nights of celebrations for my friend Maria's birthday. For those who don't know Maria is one of the stars of the hit show, The Only Way is Essex.

The night's have already recieved plenty of press:

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/3751354/Maria-Fowler-slips-out-of-her-dress-revealing-a-boob.html - absolute LEDGE picture of Maria in "Barry" mask in this one!

Saturday started with a gathering at Maria's were plenty of Vodka and Wine was consumed! We then all headed off to The King Will @kingwilliam_IV in Chigwell for dinner and of course more drinks.....and where to end up the night?! Yep you guessed correct! NuBar in Loughton @nubar_essex! Our favourite haunt!!

NuBar was BANGING!!! We had the new booth which was great, the Paps were loving Maria especially when she donned Darrens "Barry" mask and strolled outside for them all! Lots of Goose was drunk and even a bottle of Sambuca (personally I hate it!). We all had a fantastic time and Maria loved her birthday cake as well :)

Sunday was more NuBar, obvs (haha), for LoveJuice. LoveJuice was an event that started around 4pm and went on till 1am. It was a very "Marbella" type vibe. DJ Colin Francis @djcolinfrancis absolutely SMASHED it to!!! We started drinking around 5ish, went to http://www.nuovorestaurant.co.uk/ first for dinner, been a few times, very nice place and good food!....then onto NuBar for around 7pm It was RAMMED!!!!! The TOWIE crowd were out in force...Maria, Lauren Pope, Lauren Goodger, Jessica Wright and Joey Essex :)

Had an absolute blast there were loads of friends that I didn't realise were going to be out so a fun time was had by all.....after the night before it took AGES to get drunk, it was ridiculous how many shots we had to have to get there!! All in all a FANTASTIC weekend and I'm sure a birthday to remember for Growler :)

A few pics from the weekend....

What I got upto this weekend :) a new guide to Essex ;)

Hi guys,

So its been a while since my last post so thought I should do a little update of what I have been doing. Its Essex based so I am going to do a little guide to the places to go and stay etc!

I am totally loving Essex at the minute, to me the West End's dead....at the minute anyway!! I'm back to Essex again on the 13th August for Maria's @mariafowler birthday and hopefully will stay the 14th as well for Lovejuice...but more about that later!

First of all there are lots of the usual "budget" hotels around the Essex towns, I have been staying at the Travelodge's recently. The one in Chigwell's a GREAT location so close to the King Will and NuBar. The one at Snaresbrook is a tiny bit further out but attached to a Toby Carvery and very close to my friends so works well for me. All are about £10 in a taxi to the best places to go.

Where do I go out in Essex and what else is there to do!? Well we took a trip Bluewater on Saturday, Its SOOOO easy to get to. Turned out of our Snaresbrook hotel to a roundabout, turned right and then drove straight for about 30 mins and we was there! Its EASILY the best shopping centre I have been to, beats Lakeside and Westfields hands down! I recommend you try out the massage girls as you come out of M&S opposite Toni&Guy...well worth it! 

A great place to spend the day and have an evening meal is The King William IV in Chigwell. You will reguarly see the TOWIE crew, The Saturdays and top footballers hanging out here! Prices are reasonable for example a Burger and Fries is around £11. I always have an evening meal here. Its best to book a table, if they answer the phone ;) 02085004122. Great place to start the night with a few drinks to! @KingWilliam_IV  http://www.thekingwilliamiv.co.uk/

This weekend on Saturday I went to RS Lounge for "The Dirty Circus"..Defo worth dropping by, had a wicked crowd and London's TOP promoters Siaka and Weso are running the night! Its a great venue inside as well really well done out place!...Expect footballers, models, champagne popping and GOOOOSE!

Have to say though my FAVOURITE place in Essex is now NUBAR!! I did Sugarhut twice, including my bday, and its wicked I would still recommend anyone go and visit Mickey @micky_norcross and the team but at the moment I'm LOVING NUBAR! its just so convenient and close to my friends places and ITS BANGING every night!!!!! The atmosphere is so good everyones just out for a good time, no pretencious crap! Adam, Craig and the crew do a TOP JOB!! I Spent Friday night there and went before (I think?!) and after RS Lounge on Saturday night! Drinks are reasonable wether your buying at the bar or buying bottles to your table / booth! I highly recommend you visit NUBAR and experience it for yourself! Like I said before I'm going on August 13th and 14th to Essex and both nights, and sunday daytime, I'll be in Nubar! http://www.nubar.co.uk/  @nubar_essex (adams twitter)

THESE WERE HORRID!!!! rose tiquella or sumthing, why did we have 3 each *PUKE*

Until next time people...its been fun :)

Planking!!!

So yes I know it’s been around for a while now, and someone even died doing it in Australia but planking has recently blown up big time with loads of celebs and footballers etc getting in on the act!

I’ve seen A LOT of good efforts put on as BBM pic’s which unfortunately I won’t be sharing on here, things like planking between overhead compartments in planes! but I will share some I have seen that have been in the public domain!!

Would love to see what else people of done to take it to the next level, although please keep it safe, such a waste of a life to die doing this!!

A few of the Man City ones first as they are top draw, they did hit the papers last week.

SWP doing a car plank...genius!

Micah Richards responding with an oven plank....I hope it wasn’t turned on!

Maria Fowler late night smart car plank....Hilarious!!!!!!

My best mate Dave planking in my friend Lauren’s house...she was getting changed had no idea what we were upto ;) ha

Me on Laurens tv stand....lack of room here led to the poor tekkers..and seriously thought the cabinet was going to smash haha

Me on the new table ha!

Later that night me and Maria double plank.....

And it also hit the papers on the Sunday (Sunday Star) ;)

Is Planking here to stay!? I don’t know.....but the latest craze is Owling...Its sitting like an Owl...here’s Maria showing what I mean

Nando's!!!

I’m not sure I know anyone who dislikes Nando’s. I did recently find someone who had never been but we sorted that out ASAP after I realised!! I love a good Nando’s....especially after a night out it sorts me right out! For me it’s all about 5 extra hot wings really well done with Peri Peri fries. I NEVER change what I have, I am definitely a creature of habit, although I’ve been known to have the whole free chicken once my cards been stamped up!

Nando’s also do the legendary Black card! If you haven’t heard of these holding one entitles you to FREE Nando’s, I believe for up to 5 people, at any one time...HEAVEN! I know someone who has a Nando’s black card although I won’t name names! I have tried the blag and Nando’s as yet have not given me one, but I will keep trying!!! Nando’s if your reading this please contact me asap ;) haha! Rumoured holders include David Beckham, Chipmunk and people of that kind of stature, clearly I don’t measure up here BUT I am usually pretty good at the blag so let’s see how it pans out!

Anyways I now need a Nando’s haha J PS. Guys who eat Nando’s with a knife and fork does my head it....Men should eat chicken with their hands!!

My FAV meal in the world!!!! If your wandering why there’s a newspaper there, like I said creature of habit, I always read the paper when eating Nando’s regularly being called unsociable by my mates, not that I care!!!

For more information on Nando's check out www.nandos.co.uk

Great weekend for the Beckham’s & what I got up to!

What a great weekend it turned out to be for the Beckham’s. David started it all off by scoring the winner directly from a corner kick for his LA Galaxy team in a 2-1 win against Chicago Fire. He had already set-up Landon Donavan’s opener for the Galaxy in a dominating performance, his first start a month since returning from injury! You can see the goal here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn71IqxE5A4 Well done Sir Becks!

To cap it all off Victoria then gave birth to a baby girl finally giving them the daughter we all know they craved.....will this now be the end of the babies!? They have called her Harper Seven, is a very interesting and unusual name, but then did we expect anything else. I think the Seven must be a reference to Beck’s love for the number, however I do find it pretty strange to give it to a girl! What do you all think of the name? It’s definitely going to be a talking point I can already hear the ladies in the office discussing it! I do think that David can get away with pretty much anything though!

Big Congrats to the David, Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and the rest of the Beckham’s family...JoJo etc!

On a personal note my weekend was all done in Birmingham for a v.good friend of mines stag do. Sam had a wicked stag plenty of drinking involved and paintballing to. It’s the first time I have ever done paintballing and I have to say it was quality! We went to one of Delta Force’s locations http://www.paintballgames.co.uk/ and I highly recommend them if you’re looking to do some paintballing! Also managed to meet up with my pals Curtis and Amii late night Saturday in Mechu...might post some pics later but here’s one Amii took.

Chick at the back, Leanne, me and Amii.
