I'm sorry I haven't blogged in forever. Turns out that as soon as you turn twenty life picks up it's pace, I really don't need that but it's true!
For the past two months I have...
1. Been to London twice. For those who know me know I LOVEEEEE London. Like really love it. The time I went with Joy and Mel and stayed with Estelle (is it just me or did that rhyme?) ..was the best, we got 2p flights very spontaneously and just went. This is a plug for ryanair people. We drove around London at night, got the tour which was much better that those tour buses, went to brick lane to the 24 hour bagel shop, only to return to the car after 5 minutes to find the window smashed and my bag and contents gone. Raging. I lost around £350 worth of stuff, so much for the 2p flights. Anyway, I'm still moving there.
2. Went on Lynseys hen of all hen weekends. We started off shaking our booties at the Mclub groovy train on the Friday night, which I might add did lead to me winning the dance competition and champers. I was brill. For the those who are my mate on facebook.. check it out! Saturday saw us heading to Cavan for a spa weekend, it was pure bliss. Carly and I thought it was normal to head down for breakfast in our big white robes only to find we were the only two. We somehow managed to convince Mel and Danielle that this was the norm so they too did the same and went through the embarrassment of being stared at.
3. Hung out with Boyzone backstage at the Odyssey!! I was very surprised to find I'm taller than Ronan, Stephen AND Mikey. I also got to work alongside Shane Lynch and Canaan Press in the PR and marketing for his Autobiography. The book signing went well and his book, 'The Chancer' is really great. It's such a great testimony. If anyone wants one then let me know. It's fair to say Shane and I are firm mates now, he appreciates my banter. I was going to put up the photo where he's pulling a funny face but I like his hand on my shoulder in this one.
4. Retire from the Uganda trip. This has particularly broke my heart. I'm gutted I can't go but for a mixture of reasons being work commitments and funds. July will be tough.
5. Witnessed Grant and Lynsey getting hitched. After my strap marks/tan fiasco, the day was brill. I had the honour and privilege of being their maid with Carly and Steph. I loved being Alain's 'B....' for the day too. The wedding party was the best I'd been too, Dixie took it to a whole new level when he and I wedding crashed at the wedding next door, I tucked my bridesmaid dress up so it looked like a mini skirt, that was a clear giveaway we were in the wrong wedding. Best day. They are currently honeymooning in the Dominican Republic.
6. Got a job promotion!! I am now the Supervisor of the All Saints store, Victoria Square, Belfast. I'm not going to work in retail forever but my manager reckons I'm good at it and has given me a lot more responsibility, a pay rise and very soon a key!
And number 7. Got a new housemate, wohooooooo. She's brill.
Times are busy but life is good.

I love reading your blogs Ellen. They are so random and spontoneous. It's great to see how God is working in your life. Just remember to stop and be still sometimes and listen and find God in everything you do.
Hope to see you soon.
