Mr Selfridge has hit our TV screens on Sunday nights for the past three weeks and is supposedly quite accurate to the real story behind Selfridges. I saw Jeremy Piven (who plays Harry Selfridge) interviewed the week of the show’s premiere, and he commented on how close to what actually happened the show producers had kept…

London
I am really excited at the moment because I have started planning a weekend/saturday in london! Yay! The must-sees of my visit: the V&A, the National Gallery and the Natural History Museum!
Upgrading from Blackberry to Android!
At the end of November, I decided to upgrade from a BlackBerry to an Android. BlackBerry had been doing my head in due to the lack of fun apps available, especially on the Pearl, so I wanted to upgrade either to an iPhone or an Android.

I know a lot of people have exactly the same problem as I do, so some folk out there will identify with this post. I start things and don’t finish. I begin doing something and then forget it exists. I love the idea of doing something and then other things come along and the original…
An Incredibly Disappointing Ending
I have recently felt extremely let down by the final pages of two different books. The first book was Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (Yes, the same story as the film with Julia Roberts in it). I loved it. It was so refreshing to read an autobiographical book that not only made me laugh, but it…
