I was reading through Tweets today and was curious to spot a link mentioning the word ukulele courtesy of @johnhaydon… so of course I clicked and got sucked into the vortex that consists of YouTube videos of The Ukulele Orchestra of GB…
Strangely entertaining, I had to watch them all and even found myself looking up their website to see if they are performing anywhere near me as I’d love to go see them! Enjoy this video and go check out their website for yourself at www.ukuleleorchestra.com
Oi oi 
Thank you to everyone who is making comments or asking questions on the blog or YouTube or Viddler! I love to hear from you – am now starting to dream that people are saying ‘you are brave’ when I sleep at night *lol*
Well here’s a shocking terrible video of me (yes I look like a demented chipmunk) but I did commit to doing regular video updates so don’t say I didn’t warn you. In it I chat about some good supplements to take if you’re thinking of going raw vegan as well as why I welched out on going up to London yesterday to see my big sister, Nicola Cairncross.
With regards to what I’ve eaten today I had apples, my home made trail mix (raw brazil nuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, dried figs and some other things I can’t remember), red pepper /capsicum with the remaining houmous, some tuna with cucumber and pepper/capsicum and some mayonnaise and 3 litres of water… oh ok, I did cheat horribly (again) and had 3 dessert spoons of ice cream and some Nutella. I am wondering when I’m gonnna go a whole day without giving in to what are essentially, mental cravings. Oh arse, I just remembered I had 3 bites of Chloes tuna sandwich too before I made her put it in the bin. I wake up each morning though and consider it a fresh start 
Exercise: I ran for 23 minutes, did 4×50 crunches, 11 full push ups and 10 on my knees, and 11 tricep dips. Running felt hard work when I set out today, not helped by the fact it was lovely and sunny when I went and I didn’t want to run without my jacket on as my skin is sooooooo fewking horrible it makes me want to cry *wails pathetically*. I hope it starts improving REAL QUICK before I get disheartened.
On the whole I am starting to feel more lively and I am remaining positive which is great! I will post some stuff on here that I am reading about raw food and start do do some reviews I think – watch this space x
Hiya. It took several hours of fits and starts but I eventually managed to upload my first video to Viddler and YouTube – the YouTube version is slightly disturbing as it decided to display a shot of my boobs instead of the first frame.. oh well anything to capture attention I suppose (blanches).
So Nicola has told me I have to share how I felt about the whole thing.
I was really pleased with myself for doing it – still can’t quite believe I did it and I must admit I did feel a bit sick at the point I uploaded the video as it got splattered across my facebook automatically courtesy of twitter tools on my blog. Nicola of course immediately twittered it too and before I knew, people were looking at my pale podgy body…
In a strange way I feel very empowered. Like I have bared what I consider to be some of my major worst bits and am surviving possible public humiliation . The fact that people keep telling my I’m brave has made me feel very nervous and immediately the ego voice in my head said – omg, am I that revolting? *lol* when all they were wanting to do was express that I must be nuts for having done it.
I am so fricking pleased I have though – as already I’ve had people contact me saying that I’ve inspired them to do something too! How damn cool is that!!!
Ok now I’m going to answer some questions and tell you how I see this challenge working out…
I followed some of Angela Stokes juicefeast and have just come across this CNN news report where she was interviewed as part of the CNN Fit Nation campaign. She is very inspirational and if you would like to see more of Angela you can do a search for her on www.youtube.com or go to her website www.rawreform.com
