An Apple A Day

Yeah, so yesterday was the big Apple announcement. It was pretty hard to look at any tech related website for the past few weeks without at least a mention of the long awaited tablet version of a Mac. Look at it. LOOOOOK AT IT. Its nice, and shiny, and yeah, I kinda want one, but [...]

Race for Life – Come Join Me!

So, remember how the pain. Oh god, the PAIN amazing and fulfilling pleasure that running the Race for Life gave me last year? No, me either. (I lie, it was pretty awesome) Well, its that time of year again when I debate about running it again, and this time, I’m wondering if anyone else would [...]

Ask Me Anything!

So the current meme floating about is to sign up for a Formspring.me page and get people to ask random anonymous questions. I’ve had a fair few questions sent my way, so thought I’d post the ones that made me laugh the most: Why do you love Singstar? Really? Thats a question? If you haven’t [...]

Quacker Factory

One of my best friends (aka The Wife) has a “slight” addiction to that purveyor of crap, QVC. (She says “slight”, I say not being able to sleep unless QVC is on in the background is slightly insane) I personally love QVC – I remember watching it for the first time when I was about [...]

Not Such A Blonde Bimbo Girl

The first Barbie thing I remember having was a Dr Barbie playcase. It was pink plastic in the shape of a doctors bag, and opened out with a bed, a curtain and a plastic trolley. I loved it, along with my Barbie camper van, both were used first with Barbie, then when I was a [...]

PSA: Leggings Are Not Trousers

I think I should begin this by saying I love leggings. They are soooo comfortable, and after a week of wearing structured skirts, blouses and high high heels for work, its so nice to put a pair of leggings and a big jumper on and laze on the sofa watching crap. (Yes, I realise this [...]

Fuck Yeah Bristol

Even after nearly 3 years of living in Bristol (both in my year out, and now), I’ll see a view of Bristol (in real life or in a photo or video) and just think “I love this city”. Its not just views though. Bristol has a lot of talented people either from here or living [...]

Blog Admin Type Shiz

I know, kinda a cop out, but I have had a few people asking about how they can keep updated with the blog so thought I’d have a post I could link them to! So, if you have Twitter, my blog (usually) tweets automagically on my behalf to my account @hayles. (You should follow me [...]

Lavender Blonde

I love that lavender blonde / The way she moves / The way she walks I am as vain as I allow / I do my hair / I gloss my eyes Oh my gosh! How awesome are these dolls? These Barbies were created (created? amended?) by Veik, who prefers to refer to himself as [...]

A Festive Update

So its (thankfully?) the end of the festive season. The fir trees are bare, and waiting half bald at the side of the road for the bin men to take them away, the recycling bins are full of random alcohol bottles (advocaat anyone?) and the wallets are empty, because we all overspent on presents and [...]
