Wednesdays are so boring! They are by far the worst day of the week for a whole plurality of reasons. Firstly, they mark the middle of the week, which means that they are the furthest point away from a relaxing weekend as is possible in a week (unless you work weekends of course!). Secondly the TV is truly atrocious! It often seems like the TV executives choose to put the worst TV on the one day when everybody wants to watch TV! For me the rubbish collection happens on thursday, so i also have to make sure that all of my bins have been put out, and that the recycling has been ordered correctly.
So as you can imagine, anything at all to make Wednesday evening better is perfect for me. It could even have been something simple like an Eastenders double episode or something. However what saved my wednesdays are much better than that, the best thing about Wednesday is lottery results wednesday which I’m sure are going to make me a millionaire pretty soon!! Join me this Wednesday and play to win millions!
I'm pretty excited for next week, the Rock Sound Riot Tour is finally coming to town, playing in London's Electric Ballroom!
This year Every Time I Die are headlining, and playing with them are Trash Talk, Defeater and Spycatcher. I've seen Every Time I Die quite a few times before and they always put on an amazing live show. Last time I saw them I had to run out and sort out a problem with my friend's ticket and ended up having problems with stewards for ages, so I ended up missing loads of the show!
I'm not letting that happen this time though, nothing is going to interrupt the show! I've seen Trash Talk a few times before and they're absolutely crazy, except last time I saw them the singer (well, screaming front man) gobbed into the crowd and it went on my sister's back and we had a tantrum about it, it was so disgusting, so I've been majorly put off them since that!
Defeater I've only heard good things about, and the same with Spycatcher, so I've just downloaded all their music onto my r4i gold so I know them better before the show!
During World War Two there was place for gu10 led bulbs as a blackout had been imposed upon the British nation.
Shortly before war began, the Air Ministry anticipated night air bombing attacks would be a method employed by the Germans. It was agreed that navigation and targeting would be made much more difficult for the Germans if man-made lights on the ground were extinguished. Blackout regulations, in the pipeline from July 1939, were imposed on 1st September 1939 shortly before the declaration of war.
The regulations dictated that all doors and windows be covered with a suitably light-muffling material such as cardboard, paint, or heavy curtains to eliminate the possibility of even a glimmer of light escaping. The Government provided thick black material for all citizens. All external lights were extinguished, particularly street lamps, and essential lighting such as traffic lights were fitted with hoods to deflect their beams downwards.
I just went to Brick Lane bikes, in Brick Lane (duh!) and bought my own custom made fixed gear single speed bike.
I love BLB, you can build bikes from scratch and customise every single piece of your bike the way you want to, so that's what I've done!
This is what it's going to look like:
I've picked every single bit of it so it looks so original and funky, the bright colours will help at night too.
The downside? It cost me a small fortune. I'm going to have to invest my next few pay packets in a Rowan Dartington investment or something just to make the money back!
But I'm certain I'll save in the long run in so many ways. I'll be cycling around so I won't spend nearly the amount I usually would on my Oyster card, and I'll get so much fitter and healthier with the exercise. I can't wait to pick it up later this week!

I didn’t realise how many projects are funded and how much good the lotto UK does.
From the Olympics to small businesses starting up the lottery helps provide money to get stuff started or keep it going.
One of the projects which looks great that they are due to be helping is to alleviate the plight of the vulnerable young.
The Lottery fund known as BIG is investing £30 million to tackle to void in care support for young carers and young people who have left the care system or youth offending institutions.
I think it is great. Every week you buy your lottery ticket you know that a small proportion of it goes to help others and it is not all about winning.
