[HD] - The BRIT Awards 2011 - Adele sings Someone Like You

Just caught up on The Brits, didn't get a chance to watch it last week but soooooo glad i recorded it!

So many BRILLIANT performances this year. Adele was magnificent and stole the show.

Plan B was superb.

Always gunna have a soft spot for Take That because of my history with them and their journey, Howard you don't sing or write, and hardly even dance these 'man band' days but you're still lookin good. Robbie still got the swag...but Robbie 'shabba' really? do you have to be so intent to act like a total tool just when we are starting to love you again?!

Other faves inc. Mumford and Sons, Arcade Fire and Cee lo's and Paloma Faiths collab. Finale!

Rihanna...seriously can you have a bit of class and leave your clothes on for once??? But did enjoy James cordons sly, maybe unintentional, dig comparing her dress to his cousins bridesmaid dress' in Swindon! heha.

ZUMBA

Just back from a trip to my liverpool home. Always LOVE going back home to liverpool. Found some new trendy cafes in city centre and ate at one of Jamies Italians, that was delish, proper flavours! caught up with some girlfriends but mostly hung out with my mum and sis and had some quality family time with the kiddiwinkles.

When i arrived i was greeted by my mum excitedly proclaiming, "I'm all over you tube and in the news paper with my Zumba class raising money for charity"

So i said "lets see". she handed me the news paper. "mum where are ya?". "that's my arm there" she says! And here is that proud moment for my mother ha ha. She is the one on the front, far right side, dressed in black and all you can see is her arm and leg! Well done mum, you make us so proud!! Oh and trust me the you tube part isn't worth posting!

But if you haven't tried Zumba yet, i highly recommend it as a fun exercise class.....especially the scouse version -A room full of scouse ladies shouting out banter through out the class! I especially loved the bollywood part, love a bit of Bangra me! Get me one of those Bollywood waists, yes please...or a Shakira bod!

Getting rather excited for an actual real grown up style valentines date....haven't had a date like this for a looooooooooooooooooooong time.

We have wanted to eat at The Dove for a while, (river side pub a mere five minute walk) and we will on Monday, cant wait to tuck into this menu
