Busted vs Mcfly | The 02 Arena

Image
What a night, Busted vs Mcfly at the 02 arena!  Last year we took a trip to see Mcfly for there 21st birthday where they announced the vs tour and I couldn't wait to book tickets, I was lucky enough to get some during the 02 priority which were much better seats than last time too.  Fast forward 11 months to the 21st of September and we are on our way to the 02, to see Busted and Mcfly perform and I am buzzing. I forgot to book parking this time and was worrying about it but we were very lucky to finding parking in North Grenwich station carpark, which also worked out cheaper.  Upon entering the 02 we took ourselves to get some food and work out timings for everything. Going into the arena was fast and effective, there were people outside to scan tickets then we went straight through to the security scanner and that's it, your in.  Me and Lilly went straight to the merch stand which took 5 minutes to secure our items, I went for a Mcfly tour ...

August recap | 2025

This post is so late and for that I apologise, it has been a crazy couple of weeks, and now August feels like a distant memory. August started quite slow and quiet with just a few trips to the park with the girls, baking and relaxing after a crazy last term at school. This was well needed and I really enjoyed the slower mornings and enjoying time with the girls, during this time we also decided to try out some  natural tie dye , this actually turned out fantastic and we will be trying this again. Me and the girls took part in Hastings carnival with the school, my Dad and Angie also had there own creation in the parade of Chitty, it was amazing as always. The acutal parade was great, the weather was good and the atmosphere was incredible, I forgot how much I liked being part of it all. One of the highlights for the girls (and me) was meeting stitch and having a photo with him, our local shopping centre hold amazing free events and this was one over the summer holidays, t...

Six the Musical | Theatre royal brighton | take 2

Image
In my first post for this I said that I would revisit and it didn't take me long to do so. Yesterday we surprised Lilly with a trip to see SIX the musical in brighton, this was our second trip to this theatre to see this show and i forgot how beautiful it is. This time we booked the front row seats on the secon circle, these seats were brilliant and the view was perfect, but I would advise that the leg room isn't the best if you are tall. When enterting the theatre you are greeted by the merch stall with all kinds of treats from pins and t-shirts to crowns and charms, the box office is the other side when they can advise for anything, you can also request a physical tickets if you like at the cost of £2 per ticket, perfect for those who like the memory. SIX is based on the six wives of Henry VIII and tells there stories though a concert/competition style show with each queen beings loosely based off of modern pop stars. Each queen has there own song telling the story of there t...
