Series 4, Episode 21.

Aloha!

So it's the morning of Monday 19th March 2012. Its my day off and I choose to spend my morning watching my epic Friends boxset. Currently on episode 21 of series 4. The one where Ross is about to get married to Emily and he's contemplating on whether to invite Rachel to the wedding or not. One of those  'flashback' episodes. Cop out episodes I like to call them.

Anywho, one week ago I began my new 'Clean-Eating' diet and I just wanted to fill all my millions and millions of readers in on how that went. If your interested that is? You know what I'm going to tell you any way.

So basically for those who didn't read my last blog (shame on you) just to reiterate, 'Clean-Eating' is basically eating foods that are natural. No synthetic man made rubbish that I usually love to eat. No chocolate or crisps or even m&m's, which is proven quite difficult when they are in your face for the taking on a daily basis. But on the whole, I actually really enjoyed the foods I was eating. Best of all I got to spend a lot of time in the kitchen and experimenting with all kinds of  different flavours and seasonings with different foods. I've actually realised that I'm a bad chef when it comes down to it! And the best part of the whole experience, is the treat at the end of the week. I couldn't help but think about that the whole week long! What could I have? What did fancy? A PATISSERIE VALERIE OF COURSE. All I can say is that it was totally worth the week of eating healthy stuff. AND I even lost 2 pounds whilst doing it so on the whole it was pretty good week.

In other news, we went for our little interview with Talkback Thames who will be running the production on Keith Lemon's new TV Show, 'LemonAid'. Overall it went pretty well. Somethings were said that were little cringe on my part. Apologises to those involved. All I can say is that I should NEVER be interviewed in front of camera to save confusion on who or what I should looking at when speaking. And I shouldn't be EVER left to do the talking. "Sorry kids" *wink* at the camera was NEVER EVER a good move. Luckily we had a laugh and made a good impression and that's all that matters and even if we don't get it, at least we know we had damn good game of table tennis. To the point where we were physically sweating. We had to have a five minute break to cool down and brow mop before going in to meet the ITV lady.

So that was my week. Thank you to all my readers so far by the way. I know there's not many of you but its nice to know that people are actually reading this. I really appreciate it. Keep sharing the blog link on Facebook or Twitter, with your friends or family. Thanks once again and I'll write again soon!

I Bought a Fish called Jesus

Hello All!

A few new happenings this week I feel I should share with the percentage of the world that has nothing better to do than read this blog.... yes I'm talking to you.

Anyway moving swiftly on, I began my magical week with an audition. Yes. An audition. It was a bit of a random one but I went along anyway. It was for ITV's new talent show, 'Superstar' and their hunt for someone to play Jesus in an Arena production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, 'Jesus Christ Superstar'. I realise many many MANY of you are probably, at this moment in time, thinking I don't look like your typical Jesus Christ. But I can assure you all, that wasn't the reason why I went. I went for the experience. As many of you may know I haven't been auditioning whilst I have been in London, this past year and a bit and was losing the confidence to get there and audition again. But I chose to bite the bullet and go for it. I sang my songs and did them to the my best ability. But when it came down to it, I didn't have the right look for the role. Simples. I was happy because I knew that before I went. So that was that. I did an audition.

Secondly his week, I having a go at 'Eating Clean'. Basically, 'Eating Clean' is all about eating natural foods and avoiding a majority of man made and not-so-healthy foods. This all came about after a discussion with ClareBear on the tube the other when we started talking about food in general and she basically asked me if I would give it a go. So, in keeping with the new years resolution, I said yes. And in the space of 24 hours, Clare had put together a week long menu of the sort of things I should be eating along side a shopping list with up-teen amount of items that will cover me for the said week. From what I've seen on it, I quite looking forward to a couple of the meals she's set up for. Others will intrigue me. The only problem is that I'm not allowed any sweets or chocolate until Friday, when I am allowed one treat incorporated into one of the 6 small meals I'm supposed to be eating each day. I can see the menu now. 1 Chocolate Fudge Cake. 4 Large Cartons of Custard. 24 pack of Carlsberg.

And finally. All good things happen in threes. I GOT A NEW FISH. If some of you have me on Facebook, you would have seen the new addition to the Colville Road Household. Today, I went out with my dear friend Helen and after having many larks playing pretend next door neighbours in the garden furniture section of Harrods, I decided to buy a new fish who I named Jesus. Don't ask me why I named him Jesus. It was the first name that popped into my head. ANYWAY, I was under strict instructions from ClareBear though, to only get a normal looking fish. Some of you may remember my previous fish, Sushi (RIP) who was commonly known as a Globe Eyed Fish but unfortunately for Sushi, he could only look upwards. Don't worry I did buy him from Harrods for I am not a millionaire. I picked him from a little shop nearby where Helen was trying to persuade me to buy a turtle instead. As much as I would have loved a turtle, I thought it best to just stick to the fish.

So, thats been my week so far and its only Wednesday! Wonder if Thursday or Friday will bring me any more magic? Who knows.

I Bought My First Aubergine

Hello world! 

Yes you read correctly. Today I purchased my first ever aubergine. 

WHAT?!!! I hear many of you say. Well, sadly, it is 100% true. The only problem is, what to do with it. I'm sure I'll think of something. Roast it? That seems to be the answer to all my vegetable related problems at the moment.

Anyway, Hi Again!

Wow! Its been a long time since I last blogged. That just proves how uneventful my life has been. Well it's not been completely uneventful. I have been on holiday to Lanzarote and had a wee phone call from ITV....... got your attention now haven't I?

I shall begin with my jaunt to Lanzarote and yes, of course, Yellow did indeed stow away in the depths of my suitcase. Had a really nice time with the family. Just time to chill out with them and have a few early morning Gins with the mother. Can't grumble with that one now, can you?

The only problem was getting there mainly. As we were delayed an hour or six. Maybe seven. Due to fly at 1:30pm. Didn't actually get up in the air til gone past seven. Anyway since we had been at the airport since from 11 in the morning so we had to do something to entertain ourselves. OBVIOUSLY we did the usual shop round terminal two but, lets face it, it ain't no shopping mall now is it. So, as in typical Green family fashion, we ended up in the bar for a couple of hours. After hours of playing cards for Rowntree's Randoms and helping mother decipher the first puzzle in her Arrow-Word (not an easy task), we descended on Frankie & Benny's with our £5 vouchers. All I can say is that I'm glad we got money off. Eventually we were on the plane and on our way. Minus the snow on the wings of the plane.  

When we arrived, the weather was a little, well, freezing. And the breeze was slightly, erm, forceful. But after a day or so, we could lose the duffle coats and exchange them for a our swim stuff so good times all round. Even Yellow had a brilliant time. See:

 

Oh and they had cake which was really an added bonus :)

So onto my bigger news regarding the little meeting myself and the gang will be having with ITV in the next few weeks. Yes KEITH LEMON'S LEMONAID were interested in my application for the show.

Basically, for those of you who aren't aware of what the TV Show's about, it's basically a fresh and new take on the classic 'Jim Will Fix It' TV Show hosted by the very late and great Sir Jimmy Saville. The application had to state a certain wish I may have that I would like Keith to make come true (if that makes sense?) 

So now I bet you're wondering what my wish is...

I don't know if many of you remember my first blog when I talked about our New Years Resolutions? Well I wrote to the show discussing our situation when it comes to breaking our world record attempt for the longest marathon bouncing on a bouncy castle. The current record stands at 26 hours (I think) with a team of 5 people. We have a team of 8 and are aiming for around 48-50 hours. But we need Keith's help to fulfil our little wish and possibly get Keith involved as well. Another one of our resolutions is to get on a TV Game Show. So you can imagine that when I saw the advert for the TV Show, I immediately thought two birds one stone. BOOM. Hopefully, the people at ITV will pick us to go on the show and fulfil our wish. 

Keep your fingers crossed for us, people!
