A northern breeze

A few friends and I arranged a night to meet up and go out in Birmingham, this night was last week, and an excellent night it was too.


I drove up to Chloe's on Thursday evening, once again (unsurprisingly) a lovely meal was served, to be honest I only really go for the food, just kiding. It was a nice surprise to hear Lucy had decided to pop in a bit later bringing with her a bounty of "Love Hearts", yey! No need for presents her presence is enough, although they're certainly always welcomed!!

Friday was mostly lazy but seemed to fly past which I put down to the company I was keeping - note to self, get some boring friends as my life seems to be flying past too quickly. We got to the apartments where we were staying to be told we'd been booked in to the main hotel building and not the apartments as we'd thought, not the end of the world however it did mean we'd have to walk past reception on our way out, some more excitement.

Chloe thought it was a good idea to have a snooze while I was having a shower, it was a lovely shower although I don't think she was that impressed about the amount of water I'd left in the tank, sorry, at least I was lovely smooth and clean. She always looks fab so it was an unintentional cunning plan, so not really a plan at all to be fair. Steph Arlington popped in just as Chloe was in the shower and I was doing my nails, it was great to meet her finally as we'd spoken few times on TINT but not in the real world, she'd travelled up with Danny so she was buzzing already. After a good chat she decided to go and have a power nap as it was still reasonably early, we continued to get ready only to be interrupted again (we were pretty much ready by that point anyway) Rach and Sara, yey! They quickly set about getting ready, Chloe and I decided we'd let them get on with it so we went on a wander to see Danny, a good time to let you know what my outfit consisted of: Over the knee boots and a cowl neck mini dress, I was certain I looked like a prostitute, a high class one but one all the same.

Terrible Threesome?
A hooker and two ladies

Danny had put on an amazing spread, crisps, dips, chocolates, etc no to mention a whole selection of half bottles of wine, thank you. I was then presented with a copy of Repartee Magazine which contained the article about the TINT Makeover video, I wasn't prepared to see my picture on the back cover and as the background to the calendar on the first couple of pages, I'm officially a "Calendar Girl" it seems - this I some how feel I'm not going to live down. Once everyone had arrived we headed out to The Loft for a few more drinks.

Oooh, it's a party!
Martie, Sara, Rach, Me, Lucy, Chloe and Steffie. Photo taken by Danny, thank you!

To cut a long story short, we had a great night, Tamzin and Sophie met us at The Loft, it was great to see them both again and it was great being out again after such a long time. On the way back, Chloe dared me to walk up the other side of the street on my own, I'm not sure whether the purpose of this was to make me look like a hooker or what it was but as I was a little tipsy so I went through with it anyway.

Thanks to Chloe for putting me up/putting up with me and Danny for doing way too much.

Love you all,
Jenn xx

The boiler's fixed...

And so, the end of a particularly dry spell (in the world of Jenn) almost a year it seems. My boiler's fixed, I've had some time to myself and we have some new pictures, yey! So without further ado - I imagine you've already skipped down the page already so this introduction is quite superfluous - however for those who are patient, I thought I would try some new styles hair wise. Comments are greatly welcomed.

Trying new hair - thoughts pleaseTrying new hair - thoughts please
Something old and something new

So there you have it, a new (lovely) red dress and some new hair styles.

Toodles,
Jenn xx

p.s. Patience is a quality I have never possessed or mastered either.

What's more frustrating?

As the title suggests... What's more frustrating, not having any clothes, shoes, makeup, wigs, etc or having them and not having the opportunity to make use of them? I think I know which, answers on a post card.

I was hoping to get some pictures done over the weekend and to get some practice putting my makeup on (as I've not done it for a long while, I'm sure I'm a bit rusty) and to review what clothes I had and needed to get for going out on the 28th in Birmingham with Chloe, Lucy (I think maybe Becca + some others from TINT too) and Rach. So I was going to get some well earned and greatly over due Jenn time, did it happen? No, (as I'm sure you would have guessed from the lead up) my boiler broke so I couldn't have a hot shower but the flat was freezing with no heating, I know it's a lame excuse not to get dressed up but there you have it.

As a result no new pics, sorry.

I look forward to seeing any of you on the 28th, yey!!

Hugs Jenn x

A new home...

Hiya everyone,

Sorry I've been offline for so long, I'm in my new flat now, yeehaa!! I've had great fun (not) trying to get my broadband sorted out but I'm finally online and ready to go. I've not currently got any of my clothes down here so I've been walking around the house naked, just kidding, they have been looked after by the most amazing and lovely Chloe to whom I'm forever indebted for her endless acts of kindness. As with all girls and clothes I've been unable to hold back (now I have my own space) so I treated myself to a new pair of heels for wearing around the house, they're white fluffy mules which I can't ever imagine wearing out unless I ever dress up as an angel - I wouldn't hold your breath.

I'm planning to go out for Halloween at a suitable venue, any suggestions to where's going to be good this year would be greatly received. I'm not going to give away what I'm going to wear (just yet) but I've started searching for outfits and accessories so you'd all start thinking about it too!

Again my sincerest apologies to (in no particular order) Nicky (both), Beckie, Chloe, Leyla, Lucy, Tamzin, KyRa, Racheal, Sam, Rachel and Lisa and anyone I've missed (sorry) for being out of touch for so long.

Love and hugs as always.

Who's Jenn?

A worthy question indeed, and in answer to this I suppose she's a part of me that hasn't had the opportunity to go out or show herself since my last post. I am (and she is) alive and well but that's not answering the question is it? Ok ok ok, well first of all to avoid getting my self confused with who I'm talking about I'm going to refer to Jenn and I as "us", two people (despite that fact she and I are one and the same) as although I don't feel I change particularly when I am her, we are polar opposites as could be said for any two people of different genders - maybe the other side to my Gemini if you will - but different we are and it shall remain so. I would love for us to merge and become one however I don't think I'm strong enough long term to carry it off thus I will linger in limbo with the Ms. Hyde to my Dr. Jekyll. This however isn't too stressing for me however it does make me feel sad on occasions but I'm quite comfortable with my day to day life. I hope that vaguely makes sense.

"But where have you been" I hear you screaming... First of all I'm sorry for being mostly incommunicado but I have had few opportunities to get online so do apologise to you all including Jenn - bizarrely. I've been trying to sort out my Dr. Jekyll life which has lead me to move south, unfortunately I can't see any opportunity for Jenn to come out and play in the near future as in the short term I will be stopping with friends that are unaware of her. Which brings me to another issue I have which is where to store (hide) her stuff in the mean time, eeek! I'm sure I will work something out but I've no idea at the moment.

On a lighter note I came across a few articles that I thought I'd share with you all:
Two articles from Joannas Diary, the first of which is an article from Marie Claire with the title Are men treated better than women?
and the other is from the Daily Mail entitled True Life Trading Places. Both are well worth a read in my opinion.
Also for some makeup tips have a look at Eve Bridge - Free beauty tips and lessons
