Only one thing for it, get planning next weekend and what better place to start than breakfasts to be gobbled up in a duvet cocoon... So here's three scrum recipes to give you a little brekspiration! Baked Eggs in Portobello Mushrooms Ingredients 2 Portobello Mushrooms 2 Eggs Couple of Cherry Tomatoes Feta Parmesan grated This is the perfect breakfast in bed meal. Hop up and grab your dressing gown. Preheat your oven to 180 C. Take two mushrooms and scoop out a little of the inside if you need to make some extra room. Put the mushrooms in a baking tray. Chop up your cherry tomatoes and scatter inside the mushrooms. Crack an egg into each mushroom. Crumble the feta and scatter it over the eggs and then top with a sprinkle of parmesan. Bake in the oven until the eggs are set. Climb back into bed and devour with a cup of strong coffee and a good book. Shakshuka Ingredients 1 onion finely chopped 1 red pepper thinly sliced 3 cloves of garlic crushed 4 Eggs 1 tsp Ground Cumin 1 tsp Paprika Pinch of Cayenne Pepper 1 jar of Pasata 2 tsp of Tomato Paste Feta Handful of Coriander Handful of Mint This was inspired by sun soaked brunches in Sydney - the most scrumptious brunch best eaten straight out of the pan. Preheat the oven to 180 C. While you're waiting for it to warm up, take a frying pan and gently fry the onion and pepper until its soft. Add the garlic and fry for another couple of minutes. Now add the cumin, paprika and cayenne and cook for a minute. Pour in the pasata and add the tomato paste, season and let the sauce simmer away for ten minutes. Stir in half the crumbled feta. Use a spoon to make four little dips in the sauce and crack an egg into each. Scatter the rest of the crumbled feta across the top of the pan. Put the pan in the oven and bake until the eggs have set. Pull out and top with the chopped fresh herbs. Serve with big hunks of bread for dipping. Overnight Protein Oats Ingredients 50g Greek Yoghurt 100ml Almond Milk 1 Apple Grated 1 scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder pinch of Ground Cinnamon 50g Rolled Oats Handful of Blueberries Scattering of Grated Orange Zest This delicious and super easy breakfast is borrowed from the Body Coach and is our new post-training meal. The night before you want to have this for breakfast put all the ingredients except the blueberries and orange zest in a big bowl. Mix it all up and then pop it in the fridge overnight. In the morning pop it in a bowl and top with blueberries and a scattering of orange zest.

F... F...And thank goodness for that. I think we definitely all deserve a lie-in or two and a couple of days of hardcore hibernation. I don't know if it's the plummeting temperatures, the vast expanse of time that seems to have dragged by since my last pay cheque, or just general January malaise, but right now there's nowhere I'd rather spend the weekend than sprawled out on the sofa. So you know what? That's exactly where I'm going to spend it! If you're feeling similarly languid, let us run you through what's served as our lounging entertainment in the past seven days - this week the Mice have mostly been... Neglecting work, household chores and husbands because I can't get my nose out of my Kindle thanks to Rebecca Thornton's brilliantly unputdownable debut novel, The Exclusives. I was tipped off about this little gem when Esther Coren blogged about it last Friday (if you haven't discovered her new blog, The Spike, yet, say hello to an amazing weekend treat...). By Monday morning I'd been dragged back a couple of decades and immersed in a world Mallory Towers meets Gone Girl. Download it now and be prepared to do nothing you meant to do until you reach the last page... Beginning to work my way through the Oscar nominations list and kicking off with what has to be the favourite for this year's best picture - the Revenant. This epic survival-adventure film is made even more exceptional when you read about the lengths that director, Alejandro González Iñárritu (21 Grams, Babel, Birdman), and his long-suffering cast went to in order to make this stunning piece of cinema. Insisting on shooting using only natural light, in the remotest of locations where at times temperatures reached as low as minus 27 - it's hardly surprising that this project took an arduous nine months to shoot. Beautiful, heart-wrenching and without a doubt the performance of Di Caprio's career. Next up - Steve Jobs, Joy and Carol... Pass the popcorn. Getting max use out of my brand new Frends Laylas with an iPod full of Podcasts. I recognise I'm monumentally late to the Podcast party, but having heard a zillion people raving on about Serial last year, I finally decided to download a couple of Podcast episodes, and within a couple of listens, I was well and truly obsessed. Swapping my usual morning Spotify session for half an hour's Podcasting makes me feel like I'm using my commute for something constructive and now I finally feel like I have a bit more of substance to discuss at the coffee machine with my colleagues. (Hyper intelligent earphone face clearly illustrating the point). A few of my current favs: Answer Me This - fortnightly Podcast during which Helen and Olly answer a set of random questions sent in by listeners which run across a range of ridiculous subjects from the proper name for the insert in a box of chocolates that tells you what flavour each chocolate is to why there are so few paintings of the pregnant Virgin Mary. This makes me laugh out loud on the train - you've been warned. Stuff Mom Never Told You - Like a night in with your wittiest older sister and her super cool best mate, Stuff Mom Never Told You tackles any and all girl-related topics from the skinny on the science behind juice cleanses to knitting and the history of abortion to feminist witchcraft... Jeremy Vine's Being Human - brilliant BBC 2 radio show which each week asks a celebrity guest what defining feature makes us human. With guests ranging from Caitlin Moran to Ruby Wax and Terry Waite to the Archbishop of Canterbury, each episode starts with the week's subject reading an essay on their defining feature and finishes up with the guest's lifestory. Planet Money - great commute-friendly, sub-20 minute bubbles of really clever but genuinely interesting stuff that's loosely economics-related. Think everything from the marketing strategy behind keeping the Hermes Birkin the number one "it" bag to why the price of Coca Cola didn't change for 70 years. 5 Live Hit List - a great source of coffee machine chatter - this 5 Live show counts down through the most shared stories on social media during the previous week which makes for a guaranteed mix of crazy weirdness, key current affairs stories and odd celeb titbits. And now we think it's time to leave you to crack on with the weekend's adventures. xThe Mice CommentsCommentsRelated StoriesSofa Sundays...This Week The Mice Have Mostly Been...Late Summer Trashy Beach Reads 2015 ]]> Nataliehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZkylOMKoKuI/VqD5oeAi9fI/AAAAAAAARnA/svpaUupLULU/s72-c/IMG_9018.PNG http://www.3badmice.com/2016/01/sofa-sundays.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429542734286276502.post-1960979741417089162016-01-20T08:48:00.000+00:002016-01-20T08:48:26.794+00:00Sofa Sundays...If, like me, you're still in Sunday hibernation mode, then you'll appreciate the feeling of finishing a really awesome box set and the gaping hole it leaves in your life!! I get so engrossed in the characters and story-lines that I genuinely feel as if I know them / am part of their world!!! I'm up to date on all episodes of Greys Anatomy, Suits, Scandal, Girls, Orange is The New Black, True Blood, Entourage and even Nashville... so now it's time to start a newbie! Decision made. Making A Murderer it is... we started watching and were finding it all very confusing keeping track of who was who and what they were referring to, only to find out when the episode finished that Middle Mouse had started us on the last episode by mistake?! So another one bites the dust!! There's so many recommended, it's just where to start... Breaking Bad, House of Cards, Game of Thrones... all constantly raved about but just not what I'm after! I want suspense, tears, lovable characters and a few beautiful people to become obsessed with... Avery, Harvey, McSteamy... I'm not picky! Completely confused and daunted by the prospect of getting to grips with a whole new cast and story, I've decided instead to catch up on trillions of films I've never got round to watching whilst nursing my unenviable Sunday hangover! So far my favourites and perfect for your next day of lounging are... The Next Three Days - Russell Crowe plays the lead character who becomes obsessed with the idea of breaking his wrongly convicted wife out of prison. You'll be kept on the edge on your sofa from start to finish! The Departed - a stellar cast and an amazing watch! Leonardo, Matt and Jack have you immediately engrossed in the corrupt and darn right stressful story of gangsters and police moles! Law Abiding Citizen - another one to keep you gripped and guessing, Gerard Butler calls the shots like the boss that he is, along with Jamie Foxx in the plot of ultimate revenge. Whiplash - the story of a drummer and (scary!) jazz conductor, slightly dark and intense in places but pretty amazing, compelling and beautifully shot. Soooooooo Grab a duvet, hot water bottle, hop into your PJs and get watching my friends...more to come soon!

Well today - the 18th January - is apparently the worst Monday of the entire year. It makes sense ... it's freezing and on top of that we're all super poor thanks to early pay days in December. Bah humbug! My work has tried to help ease the pain by giving everyone an extra hour in bed - sooooo PR - but we still have 7 whole hours remaining to get through... I've tried to think about how us Mice could help, and I think the only thing for it is to think of sunnier destinations far far away which in a few months time we'll be jetting off to. Instagram-inspiration below to help you turn that Monday moan into a Saturday state of mind... Holidays are my number one happy thing but shopping for them also never fails to draw a smile. This year I plan to buy lots of Marysia bikinis, Josa cover ups and my latest obsession ... roundie beach towels! I follow lots of travel and fashion bloggers on Instagram and they all seem to have them. They're essentially giant round towels embellished with beautiful patterns, colours and some even feature fabulous fringing. Not only are they great for the beach but they'll also be useful for picnic days in London when the sun decides to shine! Royal Furnish & The Beach People seem to have strong collections online from the research I've done but just type 'roundie towels' into google to shop away... Hopefully today's blog has transported you to a cheerier place for 5 minutes of your Monday. Chin up Micettes - holidays are coming!

After the most indulgent Christmas, in every sense of the word, we're BACK! Suitably rested and revitalised for 2016...well we were but with two working week under our belt, we're just about ready for another break!! When we haven't been resisting the urge to pour a glass of champagne at midday or nibble on a late night cheese board...the mice have mostly been... Tricking ourselves into getting up at the crack of dawn to fit in an early morning gym visit...as you can imagine it isn't going too well! With our body clocks accustomed to lay ins, afternoon naps and generally being super duper lazy - we're struggling to say the least! Each day I convince myself 'tomorrow I'll be good and give myself no option'....the very next day there is absolutely nothing that will pull me from my cosy duvet cocoon any earlier than is required, especially not in the pitch black and squeezed into Lycra! Something has to give, otherwise we'll officially have to change the name of the blog to 2 bad mice and 1 chubby kid...and that's clearly not catchy enough!! So my plan of action...purchase brand new gym get up as motivation...anything as an excuse to shop! Plus with sales coming to an end, there's some serious bargains to be had...so far I've snapped up... And the most comfortable running trainers in the world... And now I have my eye on these little beauties... Reliving every moment of the amazingly scrumptious Hoppers. If you've never made it to Gymkhana (shame - you should as it's simply awesome in every way!) then here's your chance to experience creations from it's new slightly more attainable sister! The Sethi siblings have struck again with this gem, located in the heart of Soho on Frith Street with a concept based around Sri Lankan street food. You'll have to grin and bare the 'no reservations' policy yet again - however once your name is down you can keep track of your table progress via a link on Qudini. Fear not you can very easily pass your wait time just around the corner at Chotto Matte who do a mean Pisco Sour...the perfect solution to sup away whilst timing your cocktail rounds according to your table countdown! Once you're in, the wood panelling, yellow patterned floor tiles and soft lighting creates an upbeat and inviting vibe, perfect for a Friday night meal with friends to kick off the weekend! Now onto more important matters...the menu! We went for a handful of short eats which are perfect to share - our favourites were the mutton rolls, hot butter devilled shrimps and bone marrow varuval with the most delicious pillowy rotis to soak up the rich buttery sauce! Then for the main event you order meat or fish with either a hopper or dosa! I went for a hopper (which I was obsessed with when we visited Sri Lanka a few years ago) and of course opted for the egg version! For those of you who don't know, hoppers are bowl shaped pancakes made from fermented rice batter and coconut milk (with an optional fried egg at the bottom) and a dosa is a crepe made from rice batter and black lentils. Following our lovely waitress' recommendation, I opted for the black pork with the trio of chutneys - tender pork in a deep sticky marinade - if I could have licked my plate I definitely would have!!! And just because we're piglets we also ordered the renowned buffalo buriani to share - make sure you save room as definitely one not to be missed! A show stopping huge portion of buffalo shank and rice served with duck egg curry, yogurt and aubergine pickle...YUM!!!! Once our banquet was complete there was no chance of fitting in dessert, however we of course said yes to a cocktail or 2! Which once again they excelled at and notched up another A* - their talents are endless! I'm now officially in love with the Hopper G&T, a mix of lemongrass infused Sipsmith gin, lemongrass and tonic...delish and oh so easy to slurp away! And the final bonus, your bill arrives and there's not a wince in sight!! Get yourself down there ASAP and make sure you starve yourself all day in preparation! Before I convince myself to return for another sitting, I better shimmy into my lycra and burn some buriani!!!

The following Detox Kitchen recipe I'm about to talk you through however uses coconut oil and a smidgen of Manuka honey as an alternative which makes it a delectable yet healthy breakfast bite – yay! See a step-by-step guide below on how to re-create for yourself – remember to couple the granola with a dollop of coyo or plain soya yogurt with a sprinkle of fresh berries! Ingredients: Ample for x10 servings / approx. 200 calories per serving 1 tbsp coconut oil 400g porridge oats 150ml rice milk 1 tbsp Manuka honey 40g pecans A pinch of ground cinnamon 20g of coconut curls 1. Get that oven warmed up to 200C and prep a baking tray with greaseproof paper and pop to one side 2. Melt the coco oil and combine with the oats, rice milk and honey in a big mixing bowl. Get stuck in and create chunks of oaty goodness with your hands 3. Spread the oat mixture evenly on the tray you've prepared and slide it into the oven for 20 minutes 4. Lay the pecans out on foil and put into the oven to toast up for the last 10 minutes alongside the oat mixture 5. Take everything out of the oven and leave to cool off 6. Once cold add the pecans to the core granola, sprinkle on the cinnamon and delicate coco curls 7. Walla! It will keep for 2 weeks if you keep it in an airtight jar and remember to jazz up with some yog and berries. Enjoy!

Warning though, if like us you feel like the millennium really wasn't that long ago, this post is likely to make you feel not just old but ancient. Because the singer songwriter we're talking about wasn't even born when the clock struck midnight in 1999... Billie Marten, a singer songwriter from Yorkshire, wears braces and hasn't even sat her GCSEs yet but the 15 year old's soulful sound belies her age. If your Monday needs a little lift, grab your earphones, hit play on the videos below and prepare to be wowed...

We thought we'd go out with a Christmassy bang and roll the This Week The Mice Have Mostly blog forward and make this our final blog post of 2015. Where has the year gone Micey pals - scary! Sadly this year HK Mouse is staying in Hong Kong with her mouse man so there's only one thing for it ... Skype sessions hourly to feel like we're all still together and an Instagram-a-minute so we have a blow-by-blow account of how the London and HK mouseholds are performing on the festive front! Enough babbling from me, let's get onto the good stuff - This week The Mice Have Mostly been... Eagerly planning a New Year's eve of decadence, dancing & disco balls! This year we've decided to do it in two parts – keep the early hours laidback and chilled with some serious pub grub in The Albion followed by fun, frolics and copious amount of Patron at The Dead Dolls Club in Islington, who are putting on a black & white masked ball – swoon! New Year's Eve is always a bit of a bigged up flop in my opinion… everyone builds anticipation for a night that is almost always guaranteed to be a tad depressing – am I right or am I right?! Previous years we have fled London and rented a big house in the country with lots of friends and enjoyed a few days away eating and drinking way too much and playing as many games as humanly possible. Every time we've done this NYE has been nothing but fantastically super! But with everyone increasingly travelling further afield to celebrate Christmas with friends and family, planning these kind of trips has become more and more taxing hence the lower key route planned out this year. I have no doubt it will be just a fun however – stayed tuned for 3BM Insta-spamming! If you're fancying a low key one too why not check out some of the following pubs who are also putting on special events and curated menus to see the new year in… The Truscott Arms in Maida Vale – will be serving a special tasting menu (£95 per person) with the option to add matching wines at an additional charge of £35 or £55. In the bar there will be music, bubbly and canapés galore! The Camberwell Arms in Southwark – are putting on a ticketed dinner (£45 per person) with guaranteed dancing afterwards until 3am. They have two dinner sittings - one between 6-7pm and the other between 8.30-9pm The Drapers Arms, Islington - are running a normal a la carte menu, with a few more decadent options – fancy! They will be serving up until midnight and raising a glass with fireworks. Racing to the corner shop to grab this year's Christmas Radio Times - the ultimate sign that the big day is just around the corner! Every year since we were teeny tiny Mice we've done it as a tradition, HK mouse and I would snuggle up in front of the tree with the Radio Times and a pen and go circle crazy! By the time we were finished there'd be so many rings you'd barely be able to see the page! We'd get straight down to business and begin programming the video player...yes an actual VCR...but despite our intentions we'd barely see half of what we'd planned, as we were far too busy playing games and stuffing our mouse chops with endless delectable treats! This year HK Mouse can't get time off work to come join us at the London mouse-hold, so instead I thought I'd share my 'circles' with you.... The Snowman & The Snowman and Snowdog - Christmas Eve 4:55pm and 5:25pm, channel 4 To accompany your last minute Christmas wrapping why not get super festive and go back to the ultimate Raymond Briggs Chrimbo tale... Downtown Abbey - The Finale, Christmas Day 8:45pm, ITV Christmas day with the Crawleys is unmissable, especially when it's the last ever episode! Settle down for the two hour session with a full turkey tummy and I guarantee by the time the credits roll you'll be right ready for cheese! Gogglesprogs, Christmas Day 8pm, channel 4 If like us, you're totally obsessed with Gogglebox...who doesn't love Scarlett's witty one liners, Leon's dirty smirks, Steph & Dom's endless drinks cabinet and vicar Kate's lazy dog...then you'll be excited to hear that there's a kid's version making its way to our screens! Perfect champagne guzzling viewing I would say....!! And The There Were None, Boxing Day 9pm, BBC1 If you're after something a little more substantial then why not try this Agatha Christie murder mystery adaptation. Set in 1939 on a small island off Devon this three part drama (continuing on 27th & 28th) is sure to have you scratching your heads - a welcome break from thinking soley about when you can fit your next snack/meal/cheese course/pudding in! Or if all else fails why not dig out all the Chrimble favourites - Love Actually, The Holiday, It's A Wonderful Life, Bridget Jone's Diary, Elf...they never disappoint!! So that's it from us for 2015 BUT we'll be back next year with lashings of new year love for you all! Until then...

Mini mouse came up with this festive plan of action after reading an underground cinema round-up article in TimeOut. The vaults nestled under Waterloo station faired well and so we decided spending our Sunday there on a rainy afternoon sounded pretty splendid! We walked in and were met with a booze fuelled, crazy golf scenario laid before us ... how very east London! We walked on rather quickly through to the next vault where the Christmassy cinema awaited - eek! Two banks of red velvet tiered seating, Chesterfields for the keen beans at the front and headphones waiting for everyone - the trains overhead are too loud you see so headphones are oh-so-necessary and fun too! It was the lovely lazy, feel good afternoon and the perfect way to kick-start our 3BadMice festivities. There are still a few screenings in the lead up to Christmas so my advice to you is book now and bag your spot! There are several showings that have now sold out, mostly the slots showing Elf, no surprises there - best.film.ever. Check out the below list for the screenings that still have availability: Miracle on 34th Street - Saturday 19th December Edward Scissorhands - Saturday 19th December The Muppet Christmas Carol - Sunday 20th December It's a Wonderful Life - Sunday 20th December Shakespeare in Love - Monday 21st December Love Actually - Tuesday 22nd December It's a Wonderful Life - Wednesday 23rd December CommentsCommentsRelated StoriesThis Week The Mice Have Mostly Been...Rip-roaring Roast : Blacklock...Meat Mania - Berber & Q ... ]]> Melissahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o2AGNJxv2bA/VnHUH06eyCI/AAAAAAAALaE/1enodp8SX2g/s72-c/unnamed.jpg http://www.3badmice.com/2015/12/hk-mouse-christmas-wish-list.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429542734286276502.post-6625799580969293382015-12-16T06:27:00.000+00:002015-12-16T06:27:08.343+00:00HK Mouse: Christmas Wish ListThe number of shopping days left are dwindling fast but the bottom of my tree is still worryingly bare...

Lunch isn't a meal I particularly savour, I'm usually on the run, in a meeting or manically working to a deadline. And in any case, how interesting can quinoa and grilled chicken really be?! However Christmas lunch is the ultimate exception...all my favourite people together, slightly rosy, wearing paper crowns and squeezing in as much bread sauce and brussels sprouts as humanly possible! I only ever have two complaints...one - my outfit is never expandable enough to reach my full eating capacity and secondly, I just wish the gifts in the crackers were slightly more exciting than a bottle opener or a teeny tiny notepad! Problem one is harder to resolve - either opt for comfort and resemble Waynetta Slob from Harry Enfield & Chums, or stick with the mid-lunch outfit change that inevitably occurs each year! However problem number two is much easier....this year I've spied the perfect solution to make everyone happy.... Clarins Christmas Crackers, £49 for 6... Molton Brown for Men, £20 each... Guaranteed to put a smile on any girl's face, Jo Malone, £32 each... Satisfy that sweet tooth with the best treat in the world, Charbonnel et Walker Cracker, £7.50... If cuff links and cashmere socks are more like it, oh and money is no object...then Harrods is your answer, £499 for 6... All that's left to do is plan a beautiful table setting, i'm dreaming of something along these lines.... ]]> Alicehttp://email@example.com http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yjc8u1lY668/Vm2vHlAkcRI/AAAAAAAAI10/UsAcO54eXXg/s72-c/proscuitto-roasted-brussel-sprouts2.jpg http://www.3badmice.com/2015/12/rip-roaring-roast-blacklock.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429542734286276502.post-79853194378060861962015-12-09T19:25:00.000+00:002015-12-09T19:26:01.751+00:00Rip-roaring Roast : Blacklock...A while back we bought you a rave restaurant review on the meaty delight that is Blacklock. See it here if you missed it. Well we went back for seconds last Sunday to taste test their rip-roaring roast and may I just say... ...best roast I've had in yearsssssss! We opted for the 'all in' which offered up beautiful cuts of beef, pork and lamb alongside the crispiest roasted potatoes and the biggest Yorkshire puds I've ever seen - they put Aunt Bessies to absolute shame! You then get to pick three side dishes of which we opted for a helping of moreishly good cauliflower cheese, buttery roots and broccoli. The piglets that we are, we actually ended up ordering ANOTHER cauliflower as it was just too damn tasty! The feast also came with an array of sauces to complement the meat - Apple mayo (strange sounding combo but surprisingly scrummy), mint sauce and horseradish. All washed down with a few alcoholic beverages – three very happy Sunday roast campers! You would think after all of that we would be ready to pop. Well, yes we were but that still didn't deter us from ordering up a giant helping of the famous white chocolate cheesecake. It's served up as you would do so at home, in a sizeable white porcelain dish. They bring the pudding dish to your table with a hefty spoon and dollop a large helping onto your plate. They don't scrimp where portions are concerned so my advice to you is get one serving and share… It comes with a beautiful bowl of stewed rhubarb – there was mixed feelings from the group about this addition but I personally thought it's tang complimented the sweet dessert perfectly! A few hours later, we had to quite literally be rolled out of there but it was totally worth it. You can't beat a cracking Sunday roast now you can and this one guarantees meat sweats – you've been warned!

One day soon I'll get around to editing the 3,000+ photos I snapped during my two week honeymoon, not least so that I can relay tales of safaris and sand dune picnics right here for your reading pleasure. Until then, an ode to the luggage that kept my stash of bikinis and camera kit safe while I whizzed around Botswana and Mozambique - The Saint Luke. During our two weeks in Africa we took eleven flights, including three in a teeny turboprop plane and two in a helicopter, which meant the need for a bag that was light, squishy and tough enough to chuck from plan to plane without spilling it's contents on the runway. My bulky old suitcases weren't going to cut it so I went on the hunt for a new holdall. It had to be sturdy, good looking and capable of whisking me around the world for many years to come (pretty much the same qualities I look for in a man...). So when I discovered Saint Luke, it was love at first sight. All those boxes checked and a very decent price tag to boot, with a short haul bag coming in at £125 and the frankly huge long haul version only a little more expensive at £185. Available in three different colourways, the red and white St Anton... The navy and chocolate, St Ives... And the jazzy, citrus-bright St Barts... The trickiest part is working out which bag to bag... And just as I thought I couldn't love Saint Luke sacks anymore, I discovered what lay behind the reassuringly substantial zip... Yup! Pineapples! Even if you're not sold by that totally tropical interior (but if you're not, you're really, really quite strange and probably shouldn't be allowed a Saint Luke anyway...) then the fact that Saint Luke packs some serious philanthropic punch should definitely seal the deal. For every bag sold, Saint Luke donates enough funds to Waves4Water to provide clean water to 40 people in underdeveloped parts of the world for 5 years. Pretty impressive stuff. After much deliberation, I went for the St Ives. He really is as delicious in the flesh as he looks on the screen and served me incredibly well on my African adventures. Now I'm back and even the sight of a gaggle of pineapples can't ease the gloom of the post-holiday unpacking. I've decided the only thing for it is to get booking my next overseas jaunt. It's not my fault, it would be cruel to keep Saint Luke cooped up too long, he made me do it... ]]> Nataliehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RZWXGn-WLL0/VmQR_SkS5KI/AAAAAAAARjg/JaUDG-e5RLw/s72-c/IMG_6805.JPG http://www.3badmice.com/2015/12/this-week-mice-have-mostly-been.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429542734286276502.post-36804878657211875912015-12-04T11:16:00.001+00:002015-12-06T10:14:26.991+00:00This Week The Mice Have Mostly Been... Happy Friday you lovely lot! Only three more to go until we can all clock off and drown ourselves in red wine of the mulled variety... This week has mostly been about getting in the Chrsitmassy spirit. Buying gifts galore following Black Friday madness and springing out of bed like a Jack in a box eager to see what Diptique gift awaits behind that day's advent calendar door. It's been a pretty good week come to think of it. So without further ado... This Week The Mice Have Mostly Been... Snapping up gifts left, right and centre and crying at the sight of our barely there overdraft limits - I know we've only just been paid but pay day feels seriously long overdue! We can't give away too much on here because our friends and family will see what we've bought them for Christmas but a few of our favourite finds this year have got to be... L'Occitane Pierre Herme scents If you haven't heard of or smelt the new L'Occitane collaboration perfumes with Pierre Herme you'll want to. On face value, yes it might seem like a strange partnership but it soooooo works! Pierre Herme is known for producing some of the best colour-popping macarons around and so the perfume packaging is spectacular. The first one is as light as a feather and a great day scent - Jasmin-Immertelle-Neroli - very girly boasting notes of citrus, pink pepper, jasmine, immortelle and orange blossom. The second one however without doubt stole the show for me - the Pamplemousse Rhubarbe - zingy and fresh rhubarb and grapefruit with musk and lavender. £46 for the pleasure… Melvita Nectar de Rose range Us London mice popped along to the launch of this new collection about a month ago now and loved every single item from the shower gel, lip balm, body lotion to the fragrance. Rose scented beauty products can sometimes be over perfumed and smell a bit granny-ish but not this range - subtle and ultra-gentle. Dr Jackson Coconut Melt lip balm An oldie fav of ours but a firm Christmas stocking goodie. The balm melts at your touch and is seriously one of the most moreish beauty products I've ever used. A snip too at £10… Aesop Post Poo Drops Perfect for naughty brothers, boyfriends, husbands and dads! Enough said... £20 Jo Malone Roasted Chestnut candle I am a HUGE Jo M fan! Buy me anything from this brand and I'll be a happy camper! This festive candle however is on a whole other level of amazingness – it's a beast firstly with three wicks, it smells divine and oh-so-festive and it's limited edition. It's spenny at £120 but cost per burn makes it all OK… L'Occitane oil cleanser So spoiling it's rude! Pump a small puddle of the shea oily goodness into your hands and gently massage into your face. The oil will transform before your eyes into a milky lotion removing the day's remains of make up and Tube dirt. Matching shea cleansing lotion and toner also come in the same range so if like me, you get obsessed with beauty products that smell good enough to eat you should buy the lot! £17 a pop… The Liberty colouring book Who doesn't enjoy a good colouring in session??? It was a great love of mine as a child and that love is still very much alive today despite the fact that I'm now cracking on a bit! Charmingly, it's packed full of gorgeous patterns from the Liberty archive. Cheap and cheerful at £9.98 – you can't go far wrong… True Grace tin candles Inject a little festive cheer into your home with these beautiful scented candles. Christmas in a tin if ever I smelt it – favourites have to be 'Village Christmas' – fresh pine, cedar and amber and the 'Manor Christmas' – cinnamon and oranges. Divine! £16 each… Tom Ford lipstick I have 'Nude Vanille' and am obsessed with it. They're spenny at £38 for a large and £27 for a miniature but totally worth it as they glide on like a dream and have TF emblazed into the lipstick itself. The little things eh?! Squealing with excitement on 1st December when we leapt out of bed to open our first Diptique advent calendar window! The morning excitement continued on Wednesday, Thursday and this morning when each day we're treated to another Diptique delight - so far we have three mini candles - Amber, Vanille & Feu Bois and a fig perfume. If that wasn't enough HK mouse also treated us both to a Lindt chocolate advent too so a sugary start to the day to boot! 5,995 miles away, HK mouse has been starting her days with a Charlotte Tilbury treat - this particular calendar boasts just 12 windows so she has had to pace herself and open one every other day to spread the joy across the month. So far she has the Goddess Skin Clay Mask & Charlotte's Magic Cream. What lucky Mice we are! That's it for another week Micettes! Have a super duper weekend… Lots of love The Mice XXX ]]> Melissahttp://email@example.com http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MmahZJusAPQ/Vl75RSy9l3I/AAAAAAAALWw/nvX5j3eZcE4/s72-c/mulled-wine-syrup-recipe.jpg http://www.3badmice.com/2015/11/getting-our-festive-on.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429542734286276502.post-69595582633652382262015-11-30T00:17:00.000+00:002015-11-30T00:17:30.557+00:00Getting Our Festive On!With 1 December looming, it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas... Well actually no. Here in Hong Kong it's really not feeling anything even remotely like Christmas. It's still warm and sunny, the skies are blue and snuggling up in cashmere is only possible if you whack the aircon up to max. The shops may have started playing tinny versions of carols on repeat, the Christmas decorations may have gone up but I for one am not feeling even the teeniest bit festive. So, I've decided it's time to take action. Project Get Christmassy is well and truly under way. Yesterday saw a jaunt up to the Flower Market in Prince Edward where I bagged a wreath then it was back to Central to grab a Christmas tree and armfuls of red berries and eucalyptus. Back at Mouse Towers HK, I dug out the fairy lights and decorations and got to work. Although that all definitely helped, one thing was still missing, Christmas Credit Card flexing... After all, it's really not Christmas unless you've indulged in a massive bout of Christmas shopping is it?! Well, luckily our American cousins have given us all an early Christmas gift by sharing the frankly genius post-Thanksgiving sales with us. If you didn't already get yourself a piece of the Black Friday action at the end of last week, panic not, there's still time to bag yourself a few Christmassy bargains today in the Cyber Monday sales.

We may be back at our desks after a few weeks of holidaying and total relaxation but hey, it's Friday and that means the weekend's within sipping distance... So, to help hurry along the last couple of office-bound hours, we'll whizz you through the week's goings on and then we'll set you on your merry way in search of your very own Champagne-soaked Johnny Depp... Until then, this week, the Mice have mostly been... Getting into the festive spirit by snuggling up with a kindleful of Christmassy short stories in the form of Rachel Joyce's A Snow Garden. This collection of seven interconnected short stories are each set at Christmas spanning from a Boxing Day Ball in the sixties through to a modern day nativity scene on Christmas Day at the airport. Each story gives a bittersweet snapshot into complicated family relationships and manages to be heartwarming without cloying cliche. Perfect pre-Christmas cheer. Giving Thanks for Thanksgiving - an excuse to eat roast turkey, heaps of potatoes and calorific sweet treats a whole month early. We figure that in the name of multiculturalism, we should give the American holidays just as much calendarspace as our own, so last night saw feasting in epic proportions. Because Brussel Sprouts have momentarily replaced avocados as our current food obsession, we thought a Thanksgiving banquet was the perfect opportunity to concoct a new dish of sprout-tactic deliciousness. Say hello to Brussel Sprouts with crispy prosciutto, sage and brown butter... You will need: a couple of handfuls of sprouts (bottoms cut off, outer leaves removed and sliced in half) a couple of shallots (peeled and quartered)a small bunch of fresh sagea good glug of olive oila couple of slices of prosciutto (snipped into slithers)a generous knob of buttersalt & pepperPreheat your oven to 180 C while you prep your sprouts and chop your shallots. Whack the sprouts and shallots in a roasting tin, drizzle with the olive oil and add a generous few grinds of salt and pepper. Pop in the oven to roast for 12-15 minutes (we did ours a little too long but they were still scrumptious!). While your sprouty-shalloty mixture browns away pull a dozen or so leaves from your sage bunch and snip up the prosciutto. Add a chunk of butter to a frying pan and fry the sage leafs and prosciutto slithers in the pan until the butter turns pale biscuit coloured and starts to smell nutty. Pull the Brussels out of the oven, spoon onto your plates, sprinkle over the crispy sage and ham and finish off with a drizzle of buttery goodness. And ta-dah - the best damn bowl of sprouts you've ever eaten... Digging out our best boho festival looks and gearing up for a weekend of Clockenflap. Yup, Hong Kong's ridiculously named arts and music festival has rolled around again and we plan on spending the whole weekend chain-drinking cider while listening to set after awesome set. If you're headed over to West Kowloon Cultural District this weekend too, here's what's topping our line-up: Clean Bandit - Rather Be (feat. Jess Glynne) Broods - Bridges Rocky A$AP - Everyday (ft. Rod Stewart, Miguel, Mark Ronson) And, that's that for another week!

We're a Robbo down! Yes, HK Mouse is now officially married! She remains a Mouse through and through though so don't fret... A few weeks ago Mini Mouse, Daddy Robbo and I all met at the airport ready for our Hong Kong wedding adventure to begin. Mini and I were probably a smidgen more excited because our naughty and ever so generous Dad had surprised us with Upper Class Virgin Atlantic tickets! Screammmmm! You'll be happy to hear we took full advantage of the lounge, running around like excitable children trying to experience everything at once from the super cute delicatessen and the complimentary magazine table of dreams to the open bar offering Champagne on tap and the Cowshed on-site spa. We never wanted to leave but the thought of what was to come encouraged us to shift ourselves and make it onboard. The fun continued in the air with a 3-course feast complete with table cloths, real salt and pepper shakers and a sommelier on hand offering up a cellar's worth of fine wine! Once the novelty had started to wear off, we asked for our fold down beds to be made up, so that we could get some zzzzzz's in before landing. The most amazing experience and one which I think I'm going to remember and regret in equal measures for the rest of my life as I now only ever want to turn left! We arrived to a smiling happy HK mouse who had lovingly written a welcome banner, arranged a chauffeur and even mini bottles of Moet to sip en route to our apartment for the week. She's a good Mouse! The wedding of the year was taking place a week later so we had seven whole days ahead for fun, frolics and a helping or six of wedmin based tasks! We filled our days with lazy beach sessions... Fancy cocktails... Break of dawn workouts that will haunt me for ever more... Countless scrummy brunches to keep grumbling tummies happy and energies up... Family foot rub outings... A trip to the spectacular Carbone to celebrate Daddy Robbo's 70th birthday #bestmealofmylife... Sister pamper time... And lashings of arts and crafts in a bid to finish off the last bits of wedmin before the big day arrived... Like a flash, the wedding day had arrived! Cue lots of champagne, hours of dancing, heartfelt speeches and one beautiful bride! Mini and I were invited to a sleep over at the bride's the night before whilst Jasper (the groom) was banished to the Mandarin Oriental for the evening - what punishment! The next day we woke up early and all scampered off to meet Daddy Robbo for a pre-wedding brunch. Nerves and excitement started to set in as we devoured our egg brekkies. Next it was back to the HK Mousehold to start getting ready for the big day ahead. Zoe and Laura, the two other bridesmaids and Mimi, the little flower fairy, all arrived and we spent the next few hours being beautified to the max sipping Laurent Perrier as we went. The next thing we knew there was a knock at the door ... our one and only Father of the Bride had arrived and we knew it was wedding showtime! This was us en route to the top of The Peak where the afternoon blessing was taking place... We arrived to the sounds of Mr Gramophone Man playing 20's, 30's and 40's music from his very own wind up gramophone - one way to set a killer ambience! We patiently stood in our hiding positions and awaited the go ahead from the wedding planner to start walking towards the wedding party and Jasper. Nerves really setting in now, everyone turned to their own thoughts. Moments later we received the 'go, go, go' signal and we were away! The ceremony was beautiful - special mention must got to the simply gorgeous Oli Rigg who was the celebrant for the occasion and delivered a heartfelt, funny and oddly professional (!) blessing. After vows were exchanged, we posed to within an inch of our lives for the wedding photographer, mostly mucking around with our new brother's Tolly and Ran, grabbing some snaps with our big sister and of course the happy pair together... Next up, onto the reception venue for the fun to really begin! This was the breathtaking view we were met with when we arrived... A beautiful white canopy covered the starlit sky with fresh flowers and flickering candles everywhere you looked. The colour theme of the wedding was classic - blue and white - and so each table was adorned with blue and white china vases and decorative bowls with stunning menus tied up with brown twine and fragrant sprigs of rosemary... Everywhere you looked there was something new and equally creative to be delighted by from a photo booth with a dressing-up box that would put Harper Beckham's to shame, a table plan made up of individual hand carved name plaques to a tassel wall that provided a backdrop for the band. For everyone who knows HK Mouse, artistic flair comes naturally to her, but on this occasion she really went to the moon and back. Is was utter perfection. Once the speeches has drawn to a close, the food and drink flowed. We started with a delightful eggplant parmigiana which was followed by perfectly cooked steaks, cheddar & bacon stuffed baked potatoes and mascarpone creamed spinach - yum! In true HK Mouse style, pudding didn't follow in the traditional sense. Guests were invited to help themselves to various sweet treats at three separate sugary stations. The first offered up waffle sundaes, the second build your own s'mores and the third boasted chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. The wedding cake - a flamingo-topped victoria sponge - was also sliced and diced for all to enjoy... Spectacular sugar work all round! The rest of the evening starts to get a bit hazy from here on out but what I do know, is the photo booth sprung into life in kind of a big way... What a wedding! I'd like to raise a 3BadMice toast to Natalie & Jasper - here's to many more years of celebrating and happy memories to come! ]]> Melissahttp://email@example.com http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_LMci8dgN5w/VksOzvHOoNI/AAAAAAAALM0/D8pqtM0A6mw/s72-c/unnamed%2B%252811%2529.jpg http://www.3badmice.com/2015/11/christmas-countdown-2015.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429542734286276502.post-22506963756802436852015-11-23T09:06:00.000+00:002015-11-23T09:06:06.241+00:00Christmas Countdown 2015...And we're back.... After far too much gallivanting with both of my mice sisters, we needed substantial recovery time. What with HK Mouse's fabulous wedding and a serious session of celebrations in the run up and run down, we were in need of 100 years sleep! Rest and restoration complete, we're now ready and raring to go....just in time for Christmas! With just 32 days to go, we best get cracking...there's reams of presents to purchase, gallons of mulled wine to sip and stacks of Christmas films to rewatch! Where to start is a good question, and one I can answer immediately...with an advent calendar of course! Everyone needs a Christmas countdown and especially one with an awesome treat each day. Gone are the days when a picture and small chocolate shape will suffice, oh no there's many more exciting options to be had! This year HK mouse has well and truly outdone herself and spoilt us rotten with this little beauty... And we may have sent her some Charlotte Tilbury seasonal cheer... With job number one complete at this end, we thought you may need some inspiration as there isn't much time left! Let the begging and whinging commence and flutter those lashes towards one of these bad boys...

You know when you just wanna get drunk like its Friday, well I have fantastic news ... that day is here and it's time to get boozy!!! Well the biggy that's been taking over our lives this week is getting ready for the wedding of the year, yep Hong Kong mouse is getting hitched - screammmmmmmmmm! More on that in a few weeks when we have pics to share - double screammmmmmmmmm! Other than that, we've been eating well, listening to lots of great music and beautifying ourselves to the max ready for the BIG DAY. More on that below because This Week The Mice Have Mostly Been... Feeling sexy at new foodie hot spot, Sexy Fish. Everybody went crazy over the arrival of Chiltern Firehouse and I think Sexy Fish is going to stir the same buzz about town. The VIP launch party saw Rita Ora perform and big fashion names grace the space including Kate Moss, Lindsay Lohan, Alice Temperley, Tracey Emin and Matthew Williamson. My good pal Caroline and I were lucky enough to check it out during soft launch, ahead of opening to the public on 19th October. We headed there for lunch and were pretty much blown away by every detail from the divine food to the jaw dropping interior and art pieces spanning the space. Caprice Holdings and Richard Caring are behind the concept, also famous for well known restaurants including The Ivy, J Sheekey and Daphne's. The space has been designed by Martin Brudnizki also responsible for making the likes of Dean Street Townhouse, Scott's and Hix super sexy! Spectacular art pieces have also been commissioned from Frank Gehry (who was behind the Guggenheim in Bilbao) and Damien Hirst who needs no introduction. Expect to be wowed by origami style fish hanging above the bar, a 13ft giant crocodile crawling up one of the dining room walls, two bronze mermaids that act as bookends at the bar plus a huge ceiling mural from Michael Roberts, Style Editor-at-Large of Vanity Fair. It's safe to say only the vey best names in the business have been called upon for this launch. Now for the food - my favourite part! Sexy Fish offers an asian-inspired menu which was impressive in every sense. We picked off a few dishes that sounded too good to eat including buttermilk popcorn chicken, prawn soldiers, baked Alaskan crab and roasted truffle infused quail with chargrilled avocado. For puds we opted for doughnuts with lemon and chocolate dipping sauce and a beautiful rice pudding with all the trimmings! We've heard great things about the 90 nine-course tasting menu so that's on the list for round II. Bring it on! Sexy Fish 1-4 Berkeley Square, London W1J 6BR 020 3764 2000 Making everything better with music. I'm a bit Shazam cray cray at the minute, any time I'm watching TV (mostly Suits) and the scene is set to an epic song, I fumble frantically like a mad person trying to shazam it and catch it whilst I can! Here's my pick of fav songs of the moment. Pick me up... Yellow - Robin Schulz Sugar - featuring Francesco Yates and Robin Schulz Chill out... Fade Out Lines - The Avener & Phoebe Killdeer Looking Too Closely - Fink Feel good... Tomorrow - The Skints My Type - Saint Motel On the go... Start Over - Kimberley Anne When I go - Keaton Simons Listen and love! That brings me to end of my Friday bulletin! All that's left to say is... So.............. make it happen this weekend! We certainly will be in Hong Kong! On that note we're taking next week as annual leave from the blog - don't miss us too much. Lots of Love The Mice xxx ]]> Melissahttp://email@example.com http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Syk18LcxDuI/ViEpwO4Q39I/AAAAAAAALKI/JILrA0L_2kM/s72-c/69a632ba6de5b428eda4aeafa7eec87a.jpg http://www.3badmice.com/2015/10/eco-eating-mana-raw.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429542734286276502.post-92040867297822041342015-10-21T15:47:00.000+01:002015-10-21T15:47:01.138+01:00Eco Eating: Mana RawHere in Hong Kong, we're T-9 days from veils, cakes, white dresses and something old, new, borrowed and blue. So it's unsurprising that we're eyeball deep in wedmin. When we're not plotting table plans, having bridal hair trials or trying to finish off all the last minute decor DIYs, we're fixated on working out and eating well in a bid to be as lean as possible on the Big Day... So, today's short but sweet post is an ode to an HK eatery that's proving pretty helpful in the pre-wedding regime, healthy fast food joint - Mana Raw. Located a mere hop, skip and a tumble from it's sister restaurant, Mana, this newer, raw food outpost maintains the same fab eco-credentials as its older sister but kicks things up a notch by offering a vegan, raw menu. Not only are the eats healthy and organic but as at Mana, packaging's recyclable, there's a slick system of recycling bins to sort your waste into at the end of your meal and the restaurant operates a zero waste policy. All sounding a little too virtuous to also be delicious? Think again. Food's inventive and super scrumptious with an offering spanning from vushi (vegan sushi) to raw wraps and zucchini 'pasta'. Early birds can scoop up Acai bowls for breakfast and a veritable rainbow of fresh juices. Who said healthy eating had to mean tasteless, dull meals...?

If like me, you're less than excited at the prospect of unearthing last years pieces, then I strongly advise you get some new additions pronto! Working in Soho I constantly pop into my high street favs on a lunchtime, however recently nothing has grabbed my attention enough to make a purchase - crazy?! I've got enough chunky cosy staples to last me a life time, what i'm missing are those pieces that 'make' an outfit. After numerous fruitless hunts I started to think it was time to give up and just live in cashmere and cables, BUT then Whistles saved the day! Make some space in your wardrobe, grab your MasterCard and take a look at these beauties... I'm loving this tassle-tastic story... The perfect lace cami... Sensational sheepskin.. The timeless leather pencil skirt... The staple snuggle jumper... The everyday boyfriend shirt... And that's just a small selection, Whistles we heart you! ]]> Alicehttp://email@example.com http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8kuurrP8R8o/ViN1HYD7jqI/AAAAAAAAIys/Uemy8MkgxI0/s72-c/6e103c5121689ca60e397c4c001a79dc.jpg http://www.3badmice.com/2015/10/this-week-mice-have-mostly-been_16.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429542734286276502.post-90430170516296861942015-10-16T10:52:00.000+01:002015-10-16T10:52:29.083+01:00This Week The Mice Have Mostly Been...WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! YUP not only do you have the beauties that are Saturday and Sunday ahead of you, but there are precisely ten more Fridays until Christmas!!! Despite my opening picture I think we all need to get over the lack of summer experienced in 2015 and instead embrace that winter is coming and we can count the weeks on our hands until good old Father Christmas makes the rounds! So pack away your bikinis and denim cut offs and dig out that cashmere and hot water bottle...it's time! When we haven't been planning our hibernation, this week the mice have mostly been.... Whipping up a culinary storm but of course still trying to keep clean with the ultimate goal of being lean! Despite my upcoming hibernation I need to attempt to steer clear of comfort food and keep on the straight and narrow, but day dreams of cheese ozzing lasagne and crusty garlic bread keeps haunting me! However with the likes of Punch Foods popping up on my instagram with amazing health inspired food posts, i'm hoping I can steer clear of cheating! Another source of constant healthy inspiration is the amazing Madeleine Shaw, a nutritional health coach who basically loves to make healthy food delicious! At London Towers middle mouse and I love to cook good food but being so busy with work easily fall into the habit of cooking the same things over and over. So we decided to take a leaf out of Madeleine's book (literally) and try one of her creations. We opted for salmon fishcakes with cabbage slaw - easy, quick and super tasty! You Need: 2 x salmon fillets - skinned and cut into chunks 1 x haddock fillet 2 teaspoons dijon mustard 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives 2 spring onions finely chopped 1 tablespoon of capers 1 tablespoon coconut oil 1 lemon - zested and juiced 1/2 cabbage 100g natural yogurt Salt and pepper 1 tablespoon of chai seeds (optional) Chop and prepare all your ingredients. Put the salmon, haddock, 1 teaspoon of mustard, chives, salt and pepper , spring onions, lemon zest and capers into the food processor and whizz up. Once combined roll into four burger shapes and place in the freezer for five minutes. Meanwhile chop up your cabbage... Add the other teaspoon of mustard, lemon juice, pinch of salt and the yogurt, mix thoroughly. Remove the fishcakes from the freezer, melt your coconut oil in a pan and add. Cook for around 6 minutes, constantly turning so they are golden on all sides! We decided to have some peas as well...you can't have fishcakes without peas can you?! Ta-Dahhhhhhhh.... Avidly watching back to back episodes of the amazing Suits. Seriously what's not to like... Rachel and Donna's wardrobes are to die for, Harvey is the God of all Gods and Mike not so bad either, Louis Litt just simply makes me laugh out loud and they are all just so darn clever and powerful. I aspire to be them ALL! If you haven't started you must immediately - the perfect one to watch with girls and boys, it's a all round people pleaser! You have five seasons and 70 episodes to devour and I'm oh so jealous! Middle Middle and I also love all the songs played through out, so top tip is get your shazam at the ready!! To give you an idea of what you're in for.... Now that I've delivered you some seasonal cheer, a delicious recipe for dinner and an awesome boxset, I feel my work here is done. You can use all the above to have a fabulous weekend and ensure the following also takes place....

Only one way to cure that - a little e-spree! And what better place to flex your plastic than on a brand new website filled with beautiful bright pieces guaranteed to breathe a little life into your trans-seasonal wardrobe. Say hello to Rixo London, a newly launched label which manages to feel fresh and modern yet still have a distinctly vintage vibe. The duo behind Rixo have pretty fashtastic CVs, being London College of Fashion Alumni who graduated to work as ASOS buyers before quitting to go solo. Having been super impressed by Finery London, a fellow new label born from the ASOS stable, we had high hopes when we heard about Rixo. And, after a quick flick through the lookbook, let's just say our credit cards are whimpering at the mere suggestion of an 'R-I-X-O' being tapped out on our keyboards... Prices are pitched a couple of brackets above ASOS level but unlike that fast fashion machine, Rixo manufactures all its garments in British factories and handpaints each fabric print from scratch. Take a look at a selection of our fav pieces from the debut collection and then go and shop your Wednesday better... ]]> Nataliehttp://email@example.com http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ud06wDJRte8/Vh0eX8KG7NI/AAAAAAAARd8/3hFrEfyf9-g/s72-c/bluebell31.jpg http://www.3badmice.com/2015/10/marrakech-riad-of-dreams-noir-dlvoire.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429542734286276502.post-30526705409873089742015-10-12T01:39:00.002+01:002015-10-12T01:39:43.395+01:00Marrakech Riad of Dreams : Noir D'lvoire My last Moroccan blog post ... I promise ... and I've left the best til last! I bring you my review of Riad Noir D'Ivoire which is without doubt the most beautiful place I have ever had the pleasure of laying my head. This home away from home exceeds expectations in every way possible. You will never want to leave! I didn't... My pals (Lauren & Hels) and I stayed at Riad Noir D'Ivoire for three blissful nights. HK Mouse actually gave us the insider tip as she had stayed there years ago and loved everything about it. Us Mice all have exactly the same tastes - extravagant - so I knew I had to give it a whirl! Upon arrival I knew we'd made a first class choice. The riad is tucked away right in the centre of the hustle and bustle of the medina making it impossible to navigate a taxi driver there and without a guide to show you where to find it you'd be pretty stuck! Luckily the riad had all bases covered to ensure we arrived safe and sound. We called when we were en route in a cab and as we turned the corner, there they were ... three smiling knights in shining Riad Noir D'Ivoire uniforms together with their trusty steed plodding just behind them - Cous Cous, the hotel donkey! Within moments our cases had been loaded onto the little donkey trailer and we were off winding down the narrow lanes off the teeming streets to our home for the next few days. It's little touches like this that kept on coming during our stay, I couldn't wait to get inside the riad to see what further delights awaited! We were welcomed in and ushered through to a courtyard. Cue lots of hushed "oh my Gods" and "is this place for real" comments - we couldn't believe our eyes and our luck! It was as spectactluar as HK Mouse had described, from the grand central atrium lined with perfect palm trees, lavish velvet sofas that enveloped you like a big hug to a huge decorative bowl perched beside the indoor plunge pool boasting hundreds and thousands of rose petals, all delicately placed creating a flowery masterpiece! After we had finished being blown away, we were invited to sit down and rest after travelling. Before our bottoms had even reached the plush envelope hugging sofas three glasses of sparkling champagne were thrown into our hands - my kinda welcome! We then sat there with the lovely riad manager, Marc for the next 20 mins in a delirious daze! He told us all about the nine-room riad and its history and gifted us our very own bat phone for our trip - a mobile with a local SIM offering us peace of mind should we need to call the riad for directions or questions whilst out and about. I mean come on, could this place be anymore thoughtful! Next up, we were taken to our deluxe suite, The Chameau which came complete with its own private balcony - screammmm. We knew what was waiting on the other side of the door was bound to be pretty special and we were right! A huge sprawling four poster bed with beautiful embroidered sheets, a sofa-bedecked area just made for languid lounging and last but not least, a marble bathroom of dreams with a huge bathtub, rain shower and gorgeous Moroccan his and hers sinks. Sweet treats had been sprinkled around the room too to welcome us - bowls of fresh fruit and homemade meringues tied up with ribbon. Too much! We got ready in super quick time as Marc (the riad manager) had arranged a special dinner for us in the main central courtyard which we were yet to see... Yep fittingly beautiful! It's official, we had arrived in paradise and now all that was left to make this arrival spot-on-perfect was to be fed and Marc had that covered. He started the meal off by saying "lets get you a drink - how about I keep the champagne coming" and our response "yes Marc, yes, that sounds like a cracking plan". Each evening meal, guests are given the choice between Moroccan or French cuisine - Marc had taken the liberty of choosing Moroccan for us and all three courses were sublime. Tasty fishcakes to start, followed by a beautifully spiced lamb tagine. We devoured both in no time... But he saved the best til last wowing us with three perfectly formed puddings ... cooked pears with caramel sauce, a cheesecake roulade and a cloud of pavlova topped with raspberry coulis - three. minds. blown. After a sound sleep, we awoke excited to explore the riad in the light of day... Gorgeous details everywhere you turn and little trinkets displayed with such care. Not only does it look wonderful but it smells wonderful too - oil diffusers pepper the space and send you into a permanent relaxed state of calm. And did I mention the breakfasts?! I've seriously never eaten so well - the most delicious food just kept on arriving and delighting! Each morning freshly squeezed juices would be delivered to your table - orange, a classic was always presented but the second jug would be a complete surprise, anything from pear to grapefruit to apple. Fresh croissants with an array of incredible jams to choose from together with little butter parcels wrapped in brown paper and tied lovingly with string. Fresh eggs whipped up any way you wished paired with homemade treats such as fluffy pancakes, french toast and sweet crepes... And for a mid-day delight we would track down the riad's chief cocktail king, Ali. HK mouse had raved about the cocktails served up during her visit a few years back and so it was only fair we tested out as many as possible. A swish bar had just been installed and the finishing touches were being made to the space during our stay. Here's Ali hard at work mixin' and shakin'... And his handy work perched next to our loungers poolside... Can we go back immediately please? Is tomorrow too soon?

You Can Pay Online:
Credit Card Transactions are Safe at Flyfishing-Gifts.Com. In an article by Rob Pegoraro in The Washington Post's "Fast Forward" magazine, spokesmen for MasterCard International and AT&T's Universal Card acknowledged that they knew of no cases of Internet credit card fraud. Statistically, it's much safer to use your credit card on the Web than to use it in a restaurant or department store.
At Flyfishing-Gifts.Com, we think that's good news, but we still take every possible precaution to protect the integrity of your credit card information.

- Paying by check or postal money order You can select "pay by check" on the order form, and send Flyfishing-Gifts.Com a personal check or postal money order in U.S. dollars for the amount of your order. Paying by check does slow down your order somewhat, as Flyfishing-Gifts.Com doesn't process your order until your check is received, and we don't ship to you until your funds clear. If you are in the United States, paying by personal check typically delays your order about seven to ten days.
- Calling or faxing your card number Flyfishing-Gifts.Com has a way for you to use your credit card without ever having to enter the complete number on the Internet.

Angry Amputees
Dead Teenager
The Angry Amputees make music that just doesn't appeal to me anymore. My sole interest rests in hearing the band's fingerless bass player, Dalty, and determining how well one can play bass without digits. This is sloppy punk, yeah, but he manages to hold his own very well. I've heard much worse musicians; that much is certain. Too bad the rest of the album isn't nearly as noteworthy.
This is standard Bay area punk, from the same school Rancid and Green Day dropped out of ten years ago. I find it hard to believe that Gilman Street hasn't reacted to this tired rehashing with one giant shrug before skanking off to find music with at least a little something new to offer. Singer Stacey Dee sounds like a tougher Gwen Stefani and uber-producer Jack Endino is right to push her straight to the front of the mix, but not even a strong voice can salvage much from these attitude-by-numbers lyrics. The ill conceived and poorly researched George W. bashing of "Dubya" is the true low point. With lines like "Your (sic) just an oil pumping hoe/ I want to take you're (sic) selfish lies then punch your face/ stuffed in my trunk/ you'll never kill the human race," it's just a shade less eloquent than, say, Bad Religion's "Heaven is Falling" which was aimed at the elder Bush during the Gulf War. I certainly can't recommend this album to anyone but the most voracious punk consumers. For anyone interested in checking out punk's first fingerless bassist, download "No Mercy" and "Put Me to Bed," listen to them a couple of times, then forget about them. You won't be any worse for it.

SALE OF PROPERTY WITH AREARS OUSTANDING?greenspun.com : LUSENET : Repossession : One Thread
Is it possible to sell my property to a buyer and have the arrears paid off from the proceeds of the sale along with the full oustanding balance of the mortgage and the secured loan? My property has been sold after a long time on the market and i am worried that the lenders will refuse because of the arrears but it is strange to refuse becasue it is in their interest to sell the property because they will get all their money back plus the arrears, isn't it?

Nancy Pelosi has her place in history as the first woman speaker of the House of Representatives. This is her legacy and, after the 2010 mid term elections, she cannot add to it in any positive way.
It is time for her to step aside and have someone else to be the minority leader of the House.
While Pelosi has been an effective leader for the House Democrats, she is a negative polarizing force to the wider voting public. Her popularity has never been high, even among Democrat voters.
In the last elections, the Republicans seized on her unpopularity and ran ads focused on attacking Pelosi as part of the strategy to win control of the house, ads costing around $65 million, an excellent tactical move that paid off handsomely. This expenditure shows what an asset to the GOP she has become. There is no doubt that a large part of the Democrats' loss can be attributed to Pelosi.
It is the right thing to do for a leader to step down when there has been a loss of majority. In this case, there is even more at stake than doing the decent thing. It goes right to the top. The Republican Party would be very happy for Nancy Pelosi to continue as the minority leader, since she can do no more than assist them in the defeat of the Democrats and help them to win the presidential office in 2012.

Coach John van 't Schip wants Melbourne City to attack quicker and more directly, while he has urged his side to starve Victory of the ball in Saturday's highly anticipated derby.
City were the Hyundai A-League's leading scorers last season with Bruno Fornaroli, Harry Novillo and Aaron Mooy leading the way but despite having a stronger squad this term their scoring rate has dropped.
In 2015/16, City scored an average of 2.24 goals per game over 29 matches, while through 10 rounds in 2016/17, Van 't Schip's men have managed 1.6 goals per game.
Part of that comes down to how opposition sides have tried to stifle the likes of Fornaroli and Fernando Brandan this campaign, and City's coach believes his team must get better at exploiting counterattack opportunities.
"With space in transition you can score goals and we're looking for those moments as well," Van 't Schip said at his press conference on Friday.
"So if we win the ball back in our own half and we can go direct forward, we will certainly try to do that because I think that's where - in that first moment - there's more space and the opponent is less organised.
"If they are organised and they're playing very defensive, it's up to us to find a way to get through."
Brandan's goal last week in City's 1-1 draw away to Sydney FC was a perfect example of what Van 't Schip wants.
Receiving the ball in his own half, Brandan turned quickly and passed directly forward to fellow Argentine Nicolas Colazo and then burst forward to receive the return pass before firing a shot into the top corner from just outside the box.
Although Van 't Schip believes City could move the ball faster, he isn't interested in surrendering possession.
City will host local rivals Victory on Saturday night at AAMI Park in the third Melbourne derby of the season in all competitions and the Big V will enter the match in impressive form.
Victory haven't lost in four matches, including their 3-0 win over Western Sydney Wanderers, and have the two players with the most score involvements (goals and assists) this season in Marco Rojas and Besart Berisha (10 each).
Van 't Schip reckons the key to stopping Rojas and Berisha is to starve them of the ball just as City did in Round 2 when they won 4-1 at Etihad Stadium.
"If we do things that we have to do and they have to run more behind us and think more about us, it means that Rojas and Berisha can't do too much what they want to do," the Dutchman said.
"If they have the ball, they can do that, so we have to make sure that we have the ball a lot, that when we don't have the ball that we're well organised in transition because they're dangerous in transition.
"We've seen that the last game as well against Western Sydney. They go forward and in those moments they're dangerous and they score goals."
City have already defeated Victory in the Hyundai A-League and Westfield FFA Cup this season and could equal their best unbeaten Melbourne derby run (5 games) on Saturday.
