    Death By Chocolate!

    April 29, 2014 /

    So today I have another installment of Bee’s fabulous Murder Mystery parties series for you guys! As you all know by now, my best friend Bee over at Journeys are my Diary, is the QUEEN of throwing parties, they’re turning into one of the highlights of my month. This month was of course, no exception although in the beginning I was worried I wouldn’t be able to afford to go! Thankfully I scraped the train fare together and headed down to visit her and her lovely family for a couple of days during the Easter holidays. On my first night she played wonderful host to our Easter themed Murder Mystery,…

    Murder On Board The Titanic

    April 16, 2014 /

    This post is now a month in the making, I apologise Bee, it was one of my favourite nights of the year so far so it deserved to be blogged about sooner! Anyway, today’s post is mainly about food and fun. Eight courses worth of food and cake, the best birthday cake i’ve ever received in my life, and the person I have to thank for it all, is the best best friend a girl could want. If you don’t follow her blog Journeys Are My Diary yet, you bloody well should! So last month saw my twenty six birthday, and since my twenty fifth and twenty forth birthdays were…

    Ho Ho Homicide – A Christmas Murder Mystery

    December 29, 2013 /

    So normal people have nights out in all their glitz and glam for Christmas, the friendship group I’m part of like to get together and dress up. I much prefer this. Everyone (should) reaches an age where going out and getting plastered at Christmas doesn’t appeal anymore, my little sister reached it on Boxing Day where she lasted 10 minutes in the nightclub before heading home to her boyfriend and puppy, and even though everyone drinks at these gatherings (and sometimes I get a bit silly after a bottle of wine and make a fool of myself still) it’s not to the extent of days gone by. Last Saturday I…

    A Taste of Transylville Terror Murder Mystery

    November 3, 2013 /

    So I came back from Paris on Halloween and only had the effort (after taking Little Miss trick or treating around my aunt’s & grandparents houses) to order chinese take out and watch Hocus Pocus followed by The Nightmare Before Christmas. But last Saturday my best friend Bee, threw one of her now famous Murder Mystery parties, Halloween themed but also for our friend Jon’s birthday. It was our fourth this year, however I didn’t manage to write about the previous one which happened to be my favourite! This was because I didn’t take any photos, bit sad about it really! We have a final two already lined up for…

    Does A Stitch In Time Really Save Nine? *

    October 13, 2013 /

    It’s come to that time of year again where people start thinking about Halloween costumes, for me it’s been a long time since I personally had to think of my own Halloween costume. Last year I had Little Miss who was dressed as a very cute make shift pumpkin fairy, the year before I was heavily pregnant. Before that I went through a phase of following the Mean Girls “slut” rule, back then I very much had the body for it so it’s been quite a while since I dressed up for Halloween in more than a pair of animal ears from Claires. Thankfully I didn’t have to really put…

    #151 #YOLO Upon a Time

    June 6, 2013 /

     Last week was my best friend Bee‘s birthday. It’s become some what of a tradition to celebrate a birthday by having a murder mystery party, the last one was back in March for Bee’s partner Chris, it was an Alice in Wonderland themed one which I enjoyed so much and even blogged about it here. This time around the theme was fairytales, something that is deeply rooted in our friendship so I have been quiet possibly excited about this as much as the birthday girl. Something that was different this time though was the fact that Bee & her brother Chris (we know a LOT of Chris’) took it…
