RECESSION, NO RECESSION

So we're "officially out of the recession".. What is going on!!!?

One moment we're in a recession, the next we're out.. and we're back in again.. oh look.. 0.1% OUT.

(By "we're" I mean Britain)

OFFICIALLY FED UP!

I'd rather know we're out of a recession when we're actually safely out. Not by 0.1%

I also just read that we're at risk of plunging back in.. well with such a poor percentage out, I'm not surprised!

(Just a quick short post today!...sorry)

Toys in cereal boxes..

Where have they gone?!

You know, the little toys that would be sealed in another little plastic package inside cereal boxes..

I popped out this evening to get some Coco Pops and came back put some in a bowl then realised... "Oh my gosh.. where are the free toys?!"

Then a friend informed me they've been removed due to "health hazards"

I remember the days I used to want a cereal because of the toy.. I don't think I used to even eat the cereal after a few days.. ha.

I guess my point is that children have nothing to look forward to! - Except the chocolatey fun in Coco Pops! Haha.

On that thought.. I'm not sure if drink companies do it anymore, but remember when you would collect bottle caps or the pull-ring tab's on cans, to get prizes or tickets of some sort...

Oh how times have changed.

It's Complicated

It's Complicated has definitely set the level for 2010's romcoms!

Hilarious, cringe-worthy and in a way - inspirational!

Ex-wife, Jane, played by Meryl Streep was a hilarious character who you can't help but wonder how it must feel to be in her shoes. Her dilemma of "sex with the ex" was a clear rollercoaster of emotions and Meryl Streep presented this excellently!

Ex-husband, Jake, played by Alec Baldwin married a much younger lady who he cheated with when he was married to Jane. He seems to become obsessed with Jane again after a crazy night in New York. He believes he fell in love all over again... with his EX-WIFE.

Finally, architect, Adam, played by Steve Martin is a very sweet character who you can't help but feel sorry for. Immediately, you can see he's attracted to Jane, from this you can guess where the story is heading. He's going through a "lengthy divorce" but manages to charm Jane.

In the end both Jake and Jane are forced to make a decision...

I think I may have gave too much away, but trust me, it's well worth watching. I'd watch it again!

Disappointed

To find that people actually support racism in this day and age is disgusting.

I was on Facebook and saw a certain person "joined the group LETS ALL GO TO A MUSLIM COUNTRY AND BUILD A CHURCH!!! "

Really is there ANY NEED?

Facebook should really pay more attention to the groups/pages being created and block out racism.

The content of the group was even worse.

There were racist comments followed by people who are muslim replying.

In the description of the group it says, "we are not full of hatred they are."

How are we meant to live in this world when people are accusing large groups of people of being "full of hatred".

Yes there's a problem in the world. But creating groups of hatred is NOT the way to fix this.

I'm not Muslim or Christian. I just do not believe in any kind of prejudice against any people. Nor am I supporting either party, I just think people need to stop hating each other and figure out a way of creating peace.

*rant rant rant..*

The fifth worst city..

Many people have joined the Facebook group "Wolverhampton Is Not The 5th Worst City In The World!!!".. So my question is, is it worse?

Well I found another group, "Wolverhampton is NOT the 5th Worst City in the World! (or the worst!)"

Both groups have angry "Wolverhamptoners" complaining that it's not true..

Either way, it's been listed as number five among nine cities in the world. According to "Lonely Planet"

To view the article click here

I mean, sure it's not the most fantastic city in the world, nor is it among any extravagant cities, in fact no where near the top.

To hear it's a bad city doesn't shock me (I've heard it all before), but being so high in the table of the worst cities?! Wolverhampton isn't anything special but it's not that bad.

To me, Los Angeles being forth in the table was a bigger shock. Yes, it's polluted and crowded, but it's beautiful. Home to Hollywood.. Need I say more?!

Is it me, or have Lonely Planet got it wrong? Either that or their sources (these being the people who's opinions were counted towards the table) have very odd views as to what's bad in the world.

Still waiting..

I'm still waiting for Hrithik Roshan's film, Kites, to release!

It's been postponed so many times.. :(

It was meant to release on the 10th of January, then got pushed to the 15th...

Now I find out I have to wait until MAY!!!!!!!!! It's an outrage!

Okay maybe not an outrage, but it sucks!

Kites is a romantic film, filled with lots of salsa dancing... Mmm, anyone?

On a happier note! Happy Belated Birthday Hrithik.. 11th January was his 36th birthday. May God bless you :)

Weight loss.. weight loss.. weight loss..

Why is it that in magazines, online articles and even conversations about fitness or weight, people are always guided or discussing weight loss.

I'm not saying there's no information on weight gain, sure there is, but surely not enough!

You're probably reading this and thinking, "what is she on about, who, in their right mind, would want to gain weight!?".

Believe it or not, there are people out there that want to gain weight - not just men who are weight training - but other people like individuals who don't feel happy that they're skinny or not the "right size".

If I do manage to find a good way of gaining weight (without feeding yourself until you feel sick/bloated) I will blog it! Mark my words :)

So, it's snowing.. AGAIN!

Snow snow GO AWAY!

Come back next winter?!

I've got to admit, it's been a good winter, the weather's been perfect, christmas was fantastic, sales were amazing, new years was good too!

Now I'm just waiting for the snow to stop but it's forecast to snow for most the week now in the Midlands.

After the snowfall over the past few weeks I'm dreaming of a hot summer! Let's wait and see..
