I was in Miami for 7 days putting the finishing touches to my wedding. My other half had been over there before me organising some stuff, but would you trust a man to plan your wedding?......ok, that's what I thought! I seem to have got the wedding planner bug and now I'm trying to convince all my friends in relationships to get married, just so I can plan their wedding! I had to stop myself from asking a friends friend if she wanted any help...I'm just getting desperate!

Well, for a long time now I've wanted a pet and my fiancee has said he will buy me one as a wedding present... SO because Halle has taught me I can never have my Husky back, I'm getting a little King Charles Spaniel........ok, so there is still no real point to my story, but hey I'm excited about the arrival of my puppy!!!

So I'm getting stressed about planning a wedding whilst still trying to manage the many different things I have to get done on a day to day basis!! It doesn't help either that the sun has decided to descend onto the U.K. causing a mini heatwave that is distracting me in more ways than one! Between trying to sunbathe at every opportunity absolutely anywhere - (yep, I'm that person you see on a random piece of greenery that's usually located in a obscure place!) - and finding excuses to just be 'out'... whether it be for a drink, to meet friends, drive around London with all the windows down in the Fiesta blasting Beyonce, or to run non important errands that involve me being 'out'.... I'M NOT GETTING ANYTHING DONE!!! Is it too late for a wedding planner!!!??......... HELP!!

The skirts, shorts and open toe shoes are out in full force ladies! The only thing is, this is the season when you're that extra bit concious of those excess pounds! Apparently, studies show that the 1st week in May is the best time to get in the gym and start that diet so you are bikini ready for summer??!!... Well, I'm going for it guns blazing! Not only do I NEED to be bikini ready for the summer... I have to fit into my wedding dress without feeling too snug! Here goes....!!

What a nice guy! Absoutlely tiny (or am I just big!?), and very polite. Not as funny in person as I thought he'd be, but hey everyone's got to have their downtime huh?! Been slacking on the wedding planning lately (yes, I'm one of those people that need a little downtime!!!) The invitations are out though, thanks to my lovely parents and now I'm just going to have to continuously pesture most people for their RSVP cards! - have to admit, I hardly ever RSVP when I know I'm attending somewhere! But the answer to everyone asking isn't a verbal "yeah, I'm coming" enough? HELL NO!!!!!!

My fiesta has been cleaned, waxed and is ready to whizz round the streets on the look out! It's been a crazy month for me, in between being totally knocked out with this dreaded flu virus that has infected everyone and their Granny!.. I am planning my forthcoming wedding!! I'm very happy about the prospect of becoming an official 'Mrs' and have decided to undertake the task of planning my wedding day entirely myself (well with some help from my Mom, sisters, Mother in Law, cousins, friends...) Ok well not entirely on my own then! If it's not too much of a bore I think I'm going to keep you all updated in my weekly blog on the whole 'planning a wedding in 2 and a half months! So far my dress has been ordered! It was the first one I saw and tried on, and I absolutely loved it- why keep looking after that??? I've had the bridesmaid dresses ordered too, after some delusional measurements from the girls (you know who you are! None of us have this 24inch waist!) So far, so good though... Smooth sailing, but I know the nearer we get to July 4th the more manic things will become!!

We were told not to even stroke them let alone have a pull of their tail, but I don't know what came over me! Anyway, the Monkey hated it and I felt a little bad as it wouldn't come anywhere near me after that! After leaving I needed to stop at the Petrol Station and put Unleaded petrol in my Deisel Fiesta! NIGHTMARE!! ... So then I was stuck in BROXBOURNE for 3 and a half hours waiting to be rescued by the AA! **moral to the story** Don't mess with Monkeys!!!

I went to Miami as a last minute surprise from my boyfriend and partied HARD - I mean I only had 4 days in the 'party state', so I had to make the most of it! I even managed to fit in a visit by my family who were over in Florida on their Christmas break too...oh AND got a new tattoo!! Decided to have a quiet New Years Eve - or that's what I thought! Lol Had a small gathering at my house and cooked a lovely dinner (got a cookbook for Christmas!).. That all went really well until the Champagne got popping... Then it all went a little, let's just say CRAZY!!

Wrangler have been around for years and they have just spiced up their collection with this new line. It's young, fun and affordable! They're not just using jeans either. They have some cute printed satin and cotton shirts which could be dressed up or down. The jeans have a really good cut to them that makes them fit in all the right places, and you know we all love that! Get yourself down to a Wrangler store and stock up, you could even get someone a Christmas presie (early) whilst you're there!

Don't think about counting calories when you visit this pub! Between bite and 1Xtra, I'm a busy bee lately!.. I love it! I interviewed the beautiful Alicia Keys on Friday. She played her new single 'No One' live on a piano for us and admitted to cheating on a boyfriend before! What can I say... She's an honest lady!

Was so excited, I sent a text round to all of my friends telling them to buy it! (Yep, how sad!) Been busy driving around London filming, and treated Esther (my car!) for a long overdue wash! (obviously it's female... Again very sad, but I'm a real cornball when I want to be!) In between filming, lots of things have been happening on my 1Xtra show with Trevor. Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child came into the studio to see us, and I also got the chance to interview Soul Diva Chaka Khan! Showbiz Showbiz! Off to the Theatre tonight to see Christian Slater's new play Swimming with Sharks, will let you know how it goes!

I'm so excited! Is it me, or is it always difficult to explain yourself and what you're like!? Ask me to describe someone else, my friends, boyfriend or family and trust me I'll talk for England about them! Whereas talking about myself always seems a little corny! Lol Well, here goes! I'm a fun loving girly girl, I love pink, experiencing new things and travelling... Of course there is A LOT more to me than this but jeeeeeez, do u really want to hear it all!? I can be a little bit of a handful at times (my parents have some really embarrassing stories about me and my teenage years, that always seem to get brought up to random people that don't really need to know all of that!) But more importantly I love this new series called BITE, that I happen to be on!!! I'm having so much fun driving around filming all these new and exciting things that I think people would be interested in trying or doing... Does a job get any better than that.... Erm... I think not! Glad this is a bog entry and not me on camera because my voice is totally gone at the moment. Was out with some old friends this weekend, and let's just say had a little more to drink than anticipated! Plus, it's the second week of my 1Xtra breakfast show - it's crazy. I've already met Russell Crowe and J-Lo! Gotta run - just make sure you check out the bite trailer on the site! Speak to ya soon!
