You will fine me on spotlight now folks. Very fancy I know. Pretty chuffed with it to be fair. Although my photograph has been cropped. Hmmm. So guys, here is the link to my spotlight page:

Check it out and tell em what you think!

Bit of a boring post really isn't it? You know,  if I just talk about me appearing on spotlight 2010. Lets make this a little more interesting hey!? Right, sitting infront of me in this office (I am voering for a colleague you see) is a big box of "Dairy Milk" it is literally right in front of me and No! I have not touched one, as they are not mine. But it raises the question . . . Is Dairl Milk that great of a chocolate? Or do i prefer Galaxy? Or maybe I'm a Green And Blacks Girl? Bournville? Now that's tastey! I defeantly prefer dark chocolate to milk or white chocolate. I also find the chocoalte made by "Green And Blacks" to be utterly divine. Especially, the dark chocolate with ginger in. I mean come on. Who dosen't like that.

So Tell me.... What'sthe greater chocolate?

1- Daily Milk ?

2 - Galaxy ?

3- Green and Blacks ?

4- Bournville ?

For me ... It's defenatly between the "Grenn And Blacks" collection or the "Bournville" Hands down. Yummy. All this talk of chocolates is making this box infront of me all the more tempting.

Running The Wombourne Half Marathon 2010!

Today i have put myself forward and I am now officially running the "Wombourne Half Marathon 2010" Superdee duper. The reason i am running this particular half marathon is because I have put myself up for the "LOndon MArathon 2011" Yes, you heard correctly I am going to brave the shin slints, the knee buckle, the rolled ankles and hitting that world famous wall in aid of charity and a maseph 26 miles. But, not walking, no RUNNING! Yes siree. Runing! The wombourne marathon is not run for a chirty it is mereley to help me along with my training. Fingers crossed for the 4th May 2010. This is when the ballot is open for the "London MArathon" Hopefully  will ghet thrugh and be able to run the race! :-)

Say Goodbye

Can you believe it? I woke up this morning to NO crow or a "Cocker Doodle Doo" off Sir Clive, No "Sqwaaaark" off Susan and No "Cluck" of Me Julie. Do you know why? .... Because the fox has had the lot! It''s true he has decapitated every single one of them and left them sprawled all over the place for me to skip merrily down to this morning. I am truley, truley gutted. I just cannot believe it.

I bet your all thinking "Well you should have shut them in then!" Yes that's true. But, guess what? They were. They were should away snug in there shed as they always are. The odd thing is the fox actually broke into the shed, somehow. Without even leaving a mark. We have a flap that you have to slide up by a wire to let them out. Somehow, the fox has managed to hold that open while he kills them all. How? I do not know. I wouldn't have though it possible. But, Clearly it is! I am so so so so gutted!

Goodbye Susan, Sir Clive, Mavis, Fi Fi Trixibell, Moira Stewart, Me'Julie and The Nameless 2. It was really nice knowing you. :-(

I had grown so attached to them and everything. I feel somewhat sombre and morose today, now. Seriosuly it sounds wierd but "I loved you guys!"

The Golden Oldies

It is true, they are always the best aren't they? The golden oldies. In my case these golden oldies happen to be some photographs of my earlier acting days. Back when I used to be a member of "The Television Workshop" in Birmingham. Oh how I miss those days! Gosh, I loved it there. Anyway, my old drama teacher found some old photographs out and popped them on facebook for us to admire and steal. So ... I thought to myself "Get them on the blog!" Now I must apologise for the blurriness of them, I have had to steal them off the Blackberry you see. But still you can see that when I was younger I was somewhat "Chubbier" and "Very different" to how I look now. Haha.

This photograph was taken in the ITV studios. We were auditioning the row of lade behind us. You may recognise them, they are all children's television presenters now. The most known one being Abs on the right. Well they were auditioning to be the new Children's TV presenter on BBC and we were auditioning them. In all fairness, Abs was always my favourite. ;-)

This is a photograph taken of the play "Ruckus In The Garden" That we took to the nationals in London not to long back. I'm not convinced that I look to well as a hoodie. But it was a great character to play. Something to really get your teeth into.

Oh dear. This is just me in character messing around backstage!

Haha What a brilliant collection of photographs. Plus there is so many more, but I didn't think i would bore you with them all. I will occasionally be putting them up in posts for you to have a little mooch at. Isn't it funny how we grow up and change?

The Birmingham workshop (That I attended) is now run by Ross Simpson and goes by the name of "First Act Wroskhops." You can visit there website: www.firstactworkshops.co.uk

ALSO . . . This evening I am off in to Birmingham myself for an audition. I will be auditioning for a BBC Drama set in the 60's/70's. Un-fortunately that is all I can tell you. As that is all I know :-) But I will let you know how I get on :-)

26 Mile Walk For "Help For Heroes"

On the 6th June 2010. I am walking the annual "Walkathon" with BRMB Radio Station. 26 miles! Can you believe it! I will be walking th walkathon with my good friend Ruth. To be honest it is Ruth that is doing most of the fund raising for this particular course, as it wasn't too long back that i jumped out of a plane for "Breakthough breast cancer" So i figured it was a bit too soon to start asking people to sponsor me again. But it is a really good cause. That really needs your support and donations. So I am going along to walk with and sponsor Ruth. The walk is around Birmingham and will probably last about 8-9 hours! Oh my Oh my Oh my! More like 28, 29! aha!

"You’ve seen the pictures. You’ve heard the stories. Each one tells of a life which has changed beyond recognition within seconds. The life of one of those men and women serving in a current conflict.

The popular rugby player, now starting again - without his legs. The son of your neighbour, still struggling to learn to speak again. The old school-friend who lost his right leg below the knee in an explosion.
Thanks to the excellent work at Selly Oak, Birmingham has a long history of providing the best immediate medical care for those returning with sometimes devastating injury, But the care has to go beyond the operations, the drips and the skilled surgeons, it’s about the journey back from the injuries of the battlefield - to really living again.
That means having somewhere close to the hospital where that process can begin. A dedicated space in a comfortable setting, away from the clinical areas. It's difficult to over-estimate the importance of this to those who have gone through so much - and their families"

If you wish to sponsor Ruth please do let me know and I will pass your details on to her. Anyhoo, wish us luck! :-) Hopefully we will get some photographs up on the blog after the walk for you to have a look and a laugh at. Our hot sweaty brows on a mugshot, nice!

Headshots That I Promised . . .

So I have managed to get my hands on a few of my headhsots in the style of a contact form ;-) I am really chuffed with them. The ones we have selected that is. Some of them were shocking. I had crossed eyes on some of them, wrinkled up noses on the other and i'm sure that on one I almost looked like I was dribbling. Which I feel is not a very good luck. Atall! So my three contact sheets are here for you to have a little mooch around. Please bare in mind that they are only email quality. So 72dpi, this isn't how they will look printed (obviosully) They will look far more sharp and ready.

Ok so there you have them. Obviouslly a much smaller selection of shots will be chosen but untill then, this is me and my headhsots.

I must say a maseph thank you to Blakemore photography (Joanne Blakemore) for taking my photographs. I had a great day taking them. It was a real laugh. I couldn't keep my face straight half the time due to laughing so much. We had a great time. I would reccomend them any day.
