oct 11th bournemouth- manchester palace 15th oct

get the train to bournemouth on my own from cardiff absolutely broken and shattered but full of good memories and pix from the past couple of nights. i get to the venue and settle down before going for a quick drink with the band. another great night tonight, were doing amazingly well on this tour! we were even ready for 7.30pm only to find out it was an 8pm show thanks to toyah and her pranks!! shes the naughty one on the tour haha she's usually focusing all her mischief on the boys though especially nicky so we tend to just get involved and encourage her as its never directed at us! grab a chinese after the show as i havent even managed to hardly eat today before heading to the hotel for a semi early night and no partying whatsoever!!

norwich

travel to norwich with emily,jordan and ben listening to avenged sevenfold. get to norwich and its a really nice place though a bit too quiet for me, some nice scenery though and on arrival i go for a walk with chloe and a good gossip about our love lives! we chill out in the dressing room watching tv up until show time and toyah bought us some lovely chocolate cakes so we sat and stuffed ourselves for a little while. the show went really well again, unfortunately because i never stayed up to date with the blog some of the gigs are hard to distinguish which is a good sign because if there was anything wrong i would remember.

manchester

manchester palace is awesome, this was my favourite to date along with bristol, maybe because being from manchester i remember going there to watch shows with my nanna and telling her i wanted to be on stage and do that, considering i never trained as a dancer until i was 17 i think ive done pretty well. it was great as i can walk there from my flat in about 2 mins so i got to spend most of the day at home, sarah my friend from the glitter kittens was with me and bought a ticket for the show so we could go out after. this is the 2nd time shes seen it this tour, she loves it! we dropped my stuff at the theatre, did all the routine set ups, hello's and catch up's then went to grand central to meet the other glitter kitten who was coming-scarlet. had a quick gossip with her before running off to get ready for showtime!! i couldnt wait i was so excited as loads of my family were there too, my mum and brothers and sisters, my nanna and uncle and aunties etc so that was great, i think i had 13 coming to see the show. the show was amazing, the crowd was buzzing and we all did really well, it was packed for such a big venue. all my family loved it, henry and arthur's mum and dad were there as were the millers, nickky's parents, steve's wife nicky and chloe's boyfriend paul so it was a nice get together. we did a massive signing that only ended because the theatre started to shut the theatre and started (politely) throwing people out! we all changed and went to grand central to party, me, the girls, the band and everyones partners and my 2 brothers and sarah. we had a few drinks before going to the salisbury around the corner to carry on drinking bumping into some vamps fans on the way! we had a quick chat to them before getting very drunk in the pub! i carried on with my bro's and sarah til around 4 am which was a laugh, we were drunken dancing in the pub and talking welsh the last i remember but i do know it was a good night!! i got given a pint of red wine courtesy of jade which pretty much finished me off haha happy days!! bring on the hang over..

oct 6th bristol hippodrome/burnley 8th

i absolutely love this venue for some reason, its massive and on the main road in the shopping area so your right in the thick of. the dressing rooms are nice and i like going shopping so all good, we all got there pretty early so me and the girls head off for food before soundcheck which runs smoothly enough so me and shereen head off to the pub for a quick drink. my friends are coming from cardiff tonight which is brilliant and im looking forward to seeing them, unfortunately the special someone i was dying to see the show couldn't make it as we was busy and just got back from touring too which is gutting but in the business were in you get used to not seeing the people you love, you have to start booking in time with friends and sometimes go months without seeing anyone properly, this is the only major down side to the job that effects me on the road. it makes you feel lonely sometimes which is why were so lucky to have a cast and crew of people that are genuinely friends! anyway we get ready for show time and it couldnt have been better, the crowd were amazing and the show was tight and full of energy, i loved every minute. after we headed to the signing which was great fun as always and i met my friends annie and mag! they were so impressed by the show and seemed really proud of me which was great, i quickly changed so i could go for a drink with them for a good girly catchup before they had to head off back to cardiff. all in all a great night, one of my faves so far!

burnley

drove down with emily and got there super early so went shopping with nickys mum lesley who was here to watch the show. everything was going fine until we found out chloe had been involved in a crash on the motorway in her new car bless her. we were all panicking but luckily she was unhurt just shaken up. she got there late all stressed so we had a chill in the dressing room with her and got psyched up for the show. the venue is quite small so its only a few hundred strong in the audience and its a squeeze getting on and off the stage during the show.
tonight seemed to fly by and before i noticed we were packing up to head home!! im excited about my time off though as i have a big party weekend lined up!! woo!! cant wait!!
