8 Bit Ninjas Nice Chaps

Since I am stepping back into film making I thought it would be cool over a few posts to introduce you to a blast from the past of some of the wok I have done before. 
A few years back I entered a Birmingham based film challenge with a team mate. The challenge was for a team of film makers to be ran…

Primark Always Empties My Purse Haul

This is a little late but I had a bit of a Primark Haul before I went away to Turkey and I love some of the items so much I figured I should still share.

 I have always admired Debbie Harry and love Blondie so I jumped on this jumper even though it is slightly annoying when people buy band tops for…

Too Pretty To Be Sad

Recently I was on a bus on the way to work and my hayfever was pretty bad so much so it had made me really teary. I was on the bus wiping away the tears when a man was staring at me he came and sat next to me touched my face and said "Why are you crying you are too pretty to be sad?". I …

Diary Of A Project Manager In Turkey Take 12

So we are back now and what a ride. Sorry about the wifi it made it really difficult to keep up to date. Although again it just shows you how much we take for granted in the UK.

When I first looked at the programme for today I rolled my eyes. More fairy chimney and another cave hotel. Isn't it kid of scary how quickly you can start to take things for granted? Like when I get home I will long to drink tea looking at beautiful landscapes when all I see from my window is …

All week I have been bugging the guys to really take a…

Diary Of A Project Manager Take 7- Turkey

Today I missed out on going on a hot air balloon. Half the participants went though and it was amazing just to see how happy they are. How often in youth work can you say you have had the chance to go on a hot air balloon? I know if I had contacted my manager I could have probably got the extra mo…

Finally after lots of tea drama managed to have a cup of tea yay. Let me take you back a few days.

So we bought what looked like milk a…

Time just flies by so fast I can't believe it is already Friday. Had the most amazing sleep last night even though I actually only got to sleep an extra half hour but mmmmm. I had negotiated a later start for the team as they had a super long day yesterday. One of the teams didn't get back …
