Tonight is the first time that David Beckham will have returned to the turf of old trafford since he left the club.  Though tonight he will not be wearing a united shirt but that of Inter Milan.

David Beckham was mobbed by fans and paparazzi when he returned to England earlier this week.  It looks like Beckham Mania is still going strong.  I suspect he will receive a warm welcome back to his old ground when Inter Milan take on the might of Man Utd tonight.

He was jsut  38.

It has not yet been confirmed whether the overdose was accidental or not.  It is widely thought that the lethal overdose could well have been accidental.
Police tell us they were called to St. Joseph’s hospital in Burbank, California shortly before 4AM  to investigate.

Corey Haim sprang to fame in the 1980′s when he starred in movies such as Lost Boys.  Back in 1995 he famously had a fling with Victoria Beckham.  The Spice girls claims they never had sex, just kissed.

The image below show’s 2 of  the 4 core shapes that are available in the Cloth Magpie range.  The handbag on the left is the Canteeni.  A small and super cute handbag.  The handbag on the right is the day case, a retro design that totally makes the most of the vintage fabric used.  The print used in these images is called Spring Tide Tweed.    Beautiful shades of sea-green and ice blue.  Perfect for the summer.  Spring Tide Tweed will look perfect with denim.

The image above is great example of the most practical handbag in this most unique range of handbags by Sam Cross.  Here you can see 2 more of the vintage fabrics from the range.  Golden Buttercup is seen on the left which reminds me so much of those Orla Kiely handbags.  The print on the right is Twilight Dahlia.  The shape shown here is the Bagel Shopper.  I love the unique wooden handle on this handbag.  It’s a good size so ideal for those who just cannot travel light.

The Cloth Magpie handbag on the right in this image is the Bobble Kiss.  A framed handbag with a vintage inspired clasp.  Perfect for you if you just love lady like glamour at it’s finest.   The Meadow Cream vintage fabric used on both of these handbags is perfect for lazy summer days.  I love the hot pink yummy lining inside too.  Your going to love this print if you love Cath Kidston’s brand of shabby chic handbags.  Though do remember the big difference between a Cath Kidston handbag and a Cloth Magpie handbag is these bags are made from genuine vintage fabrics.  The fabrics are rare and therefore it’s only been possible for a short run of each fabric/shape combo to be produced.

Once again here we see the fun Canteeni shaped handbag.  This isn’t a bag that you Yummy Mummies are going to be able to use every day as it’s pretty small.  However I’m sure you will find many occasions to use it.  The long strap means it can be worn across the body for those times you need to be hands free to keep a tight clasp on those tearaway toddlers.  Perfect also for a summer evening bag worn over the top of a pretty summer dress.

If you would like to know more about where you can buy these unique handbags by Sam Cross take a look at my previous post.

One of my pet hates is when a handbag range totally saturates the market…..Yep, I mean brands like, Radley, they all look the same, they have no imagination and are carried by every other woman who thinks they are great just because they have heard of the brand…It’s no wonder,  they are sold in practically every retail outlet in the UK…..Dull.

This unique handbag range that has totally captured by imagination is called Cloth Magpie.  It is a relatively small collection of 4 different handbag shapes with a choice of 4 different genuine vintage fabric patterns.  Due to each fabrics scarcity it has only been possible for a short run of each shape/fabric combination to be produced.  So it’s unlikely your going to bump into anyone sporting the same arm candy as yourself.  Like i say Cloth Magpie is a totally unique handbag range by the brilliant Sam Cross.

Each unique handbag has been hand crafted here in britain either by Sam Cross herself or one of her carefully chosen,  skilled crafts people.

What I love about each of these handbags is not only do they look beautiful but they are functional and practical too.  They are a real style statement and those people that appreciate Orla Kiely handbags are going to devour these designs. 

Currently it is only possible to buy a Cloth Magpie handbag from 5 select handbag retailers.

Boyzone filmed the tribute to the late great Stephen Gately on Monday.  It will be aired on ITV here, in the UK on Sunday 21st March.

I’m pretty sure it’s going to be emotional but very enjoyable definitly worth setting the sky plus up for.

Here is an image from Monday nights recording of Boyzone’s TV Tribute to Stephen Gately, whose death shocked a nation last October.

This is Boyzone’s first new song since the untimely death of Stephen Gately.  Gave It All Away is Boyzone at their finest. It’s no wonder that Stephen was so excited about the boys new material on the album Brother before he died.

Boyzone reformed back in 2008 for a series of tour dates.  I was lucky enough to get to see them perform at Newmarket races.  What a night it was….I looked around and every person in the audience was singing along to every lyric.

Way back when Boyzone were together the first time around i was a huge fan.  I was delighted when they reformed however I was slightly disappointed by their new material.   I didn’t feel the new songs were of the same quality as their original material.

With the release of their new album Brother it seems like they are back on form.  The new boyzone song is called Gave It All Away and it will pull at the heart-strings of every Boyzone Fan.

Written by Mika and released on Polydor Gave It All Away is the first song to be released from the album, Brother.

“I will learn to live before I die” is the first and most poignant line from this song and is sung beautifully by the late Stephen Gately.

If the song isn’t emotional enough,  check out the video to Gave It All Away.  The first video without Stephen was always going to be tough and you can see the real emotion from the rest of the Boyzone lads as they shed some tears….Hell who can blame them…I did and i was just watching the video.

Boyzone will not be doing to many performances of their new song, Gave It All Away but rest of the boys will be joining Ronan Keating on the final night of his tour, this coming Thursday at the Royal Albert Hall.

Check out the video for Boyzone’s New Song, Gave It All away on You Tube.  Get the tissues ready.

Amongst the various changes we have seen the addition of the new mini game on Treasure Madness Wooden Maze which i posted about previously. Keep up the good work Z-Slide.

We have also seen a few bugs appear in both Jewel drop & Chestris which have now been resolved.

And of Course the all new Gold Rush.

I’m still loving this game but i confess quite a few of the mini-games i choose not to play.  I pretty sure i’m not alone in this.

I don’t play Chestris, I find Aztec Memory becomes a bit dull after a while and Wooden Maze was a novelty to begin with but jeez it’s getting hard now.

That said, I love Pearls mania and really enjoy Gem Swap and Jewel Drop….There’s a surprise i’m a girl and i like Jewels!!

What I want to know is which is your favourite Mini-Game on Facebooks Treasure Madness.  Vote Now.

If the idea of Vintage Glamour and Tea n Cakes a plenty sound like heaven to you then you’re going to love the idea of the ultimate Vintage Hen Party as much as i do…it might even be worth getting divorced and remarried just so i can have the hen party.

The package includes a Vintage Hair & Make Up Tutorial followed by a Boudoir Photo Shoot Session followed by Afternoon tea served on bone china and vintage cake stands  followed by Vintage Shopping session that is brought to your door…Like i say it sounds like Vintage Heaven.

Each Hen will receive a Free a Vintage Fashion and body shape consultancy and even better they will receive their own professional studio quality photograph plus a group shot.

It can be really tough coming up with unique ideas for a hen night.  Lets face it devil horns and veils with condoms attached isn’t everyone’s idea of fun and it can become dull very quickly.  I think that the Ultimate Vintage Hen Party is one of the most unique, stylish and fun hen night ideas I’ve come across in a long time.

Museum Dollars on this facebook game, Treasure Madness are awarded to the player on completion of collections, on completion of a map and when you level up.

Treasure Madness, Museum Dollars can be used for two purposes.  Firstly they can be used to buy surprise crates which contain items for collections….So far i haven’t used Museum Dollars to buy the crates as they cost around 5 museum dollars and the whole collection wouldn’t be worth that much.

The second purpose to Museum Dollars is to purchase Health Kits.  This is primarily what i use them for.  Normally a health kit costs 9 Museum Dollars, so you need to work hard on Treasure Madness to gain as many Museum dollars as you can so that you can restore your health using a health kit so you can play Treasure Madness for even longer….Yay more procrastinating.

This week however there has been a temporary change to how much Health Kits cost.  Instead of the usual 9 Museum Dollars they are offered at a reduced cost of 8 Museum Dollars PLUS you get a 200% Health Kit, which effectively means your energy is increased by 200%.  Woop Woop.

I think this is one of the best changes made to the facebook game, Treasure Madness since i started playing.  Health Kits & Museum Dollars are at the crux of this game.  Recently the developers also started awarding museum dollars on completion of maps which i think has been my favourite change to Treasure Madness to date.  Keep up the good work guys!
