now as you’ll know, i’m the first to hold my hand up and declare myself a geek. however, up until now, there have been a number of things that i’ve kept under wraps. as a form of therapy, i’m coming clean and sharing them with you.

make me feel better and leave your confessions in the comments, let’s have a big confession session.

love to you all.

with my first trip to vegas planned for under 24 hours, i’ve started to prepare. the question is…. does vegas realise what it’s in for?

i’m sorry… i know that this week’s video isn’t funny or informative… but heck, it’s vegas baby!

keep smiling. big hugs, me xox

it’s with much pleasure and squealing delight that i make it to my first year’s anniversary of the randommel weekly thursday videos and i’ve had a blast!

i’m often asked how it all came about and the truth is by accident, and boy what a great accident (if only they could all be that good, given how accident prone i am). so this time last year, i was in charge of organising the future of web apps miami event whist working at carsonified.

i wanted to do a little promo for the event to show how excited i was, but didn’t want to speak (you know what it’s like to hear your own voice!). feedback was great and what girl doesn’t like a little boost to her ego?

the next week was valentines and it seemed there was a lot going on, so i did another. before you know it i’d done a couple and when i forgot to do them or thought that i’d done enough, i’d get emails asking for more and so they continued.

i’ve had amazing support from you all over the past year, dedicated regular viewers and even some videos in my honour. i often pinch myself as it all seems too good to be true, but  it’s then i remember what industry we’re in… the best one in the world!

so, thank you! as long as they’re welcome, they’ll continue!

it’s getting to that time of year when you realise you still haven’t got your pressies and really should do something about it. i’ve pulled together a list of things for you guys that your gals will probably want this xmas. okay, maybe not your girls, maybe just me, but it might inspire!

thanks to andy for the fab tune! now back to polishing my halo to ensure santa brings me all that i wish for!

happy thursday lovely peeps x

well it started with illness, moved on to being super busy, then a lost power chord but at long last i’m back and i’m here to stay…

videos are back to stay every thursday and my wrists have been well and truly slapped. i’ve been at a number of events over the past week, including swn festival for which i’ll be posting my slides shortly. watch this space.

love and hugs x

if the video is going to make any sense at all, you might want to watch this first…

and now my version…

happy thursday – may this one be like no other

mel’s being held to ransom, can you help get her back?

here’s the winner of the random video competition…

mel tells us all of the entries were great, but there was something about the dancing that appealed to her in this one… don’t understand why that could be.

anyway, one miiiiilllllion dolla or the smile gets it!

each week, i look forward to thursdays, it’s always fun… and well, i don’t take myself too seriously. inspiration is taking from random places (you’d never guess from the name of my blog!) and comes from all variety of places. today though… well today… i saw this…

… and well, it made me do this…

i’m sorry, i know, it’s embarrassing even by my standards. but, well, i hope it made you smile!

happy thursday xox

p.s. music is D.A.N.C.E by Justice…. i kinda love it!
