Winter Wonderland!

Lost your Christmas Spirit? Never fear Winter Wonderland is here, and it's guaranteed to fill you with Christmassy Cheer!

Head on down to Hyde Park (although it's sometimes best to get off a tube stop before and walk down) for your fill of festive fun. The Wonderland is full of fabulous things to do and see there's stalls, live bands, food, drinks, rides.... I could go on and on!



The Wonderland is open daily from 10am- 10pm so you have plenty of time to take in all it has to offer!! (It can get quite crowded at weekends so if your free in the week, I'd absolutely suggest it!) It does get pretty cold after a while though so wrap up warm - because it doesn't matter how many mulled Ciders you drink it's just not going to work!!


The Wonderland is really beautiful and is full of really lovely stalls, although in my opinion it is better at night time, when all the lights are on not only is it Christmassy it's also so romantic!
Talking of romance, it's the perfect place for a first date. Don't worry if you don't have a date lined up though because it is also perfect for girly days out and family fun!

You can spend as little or as much as you like, I spent under £5 on my last visit and had an absolute blast! I got a drink from the bar and sat at the Star Inn listening to a band play, they were superb and the atmosphere was brilliant with everyone getting up to dance along.

There really is something for everyone at the Wonderland whether you want to show off your "Torvill and Dean" moves on the ice rink or be a dare devil on the zip wire!

Don't miss out on the fun! Get down to Hyde park before January 6th to enjoy the festive cheer!!


Love from London,

First Date Dilemmas.

A friend of ours is about to start dating again after a break up.
Now we all know dating is supposed to be fun, but that first date an still fill you with dread. What to wear? Where to go? What to say? Will we get on?


Here at Single Girl World we thought it would be a great idea to put some tips for dates down on our blog to help out all the single ladies fretting over a first date.


1. Have fun! Like we said earlier dates are supposed to be fun so just go and enjoy yourself. If nothing else comes from it at least you'll have had a great day out!


2. Wear something comfy.... Sexy yes, but comfy. Check out our previous blog about what to wear on dates here.


3. Stay safe. If you are meeting someone you don't know have a friend on standby!


4. By all means wear nice underwear. But there is NEVER any reason for a guy to see these on a first date!!


5. Talk, but make sure you ask questions too. No one wants to listen to a monologue!! Conversation is key!!!


Everyone knows that dating can be awkward. Just be yourself, because you never know when you'll meet Mr Right.


If any of you single ladies have any tips of your own, feel free to add them below!!


Love
All at Single Girl World xx

Valentine's Night !!

So after an absolutely perfect “Single Girls Valentines Day” (see the below blog), we moved swiftly to my flat where we started to get ready.
Perfect start to the evening, got ready, drank some wine and looked (even if we say so ourselves!) really bloomin’ gorgeous!! (We have even been told today how fit we looked in pictures so it must be true! haha)
We headed to a well know chain of Irish bar, which was full of couples. But we didn’t mind, we were just grabbing one cheap drink and then we were out of there ready to meet our Prince Charming.
After the yummy rose wine (so yummy we tweeted about it) we grabbed a cab into town. The cab driver charmed us with his chat pulling the old “I can’t believe two lovely girls like you are single” line on us. And we left the cab feeling glam and ready to party hard with all the other single people in London.
It was at this point that our day took a nose dive, face first into the floor. We met up with a good friend ( who is not actually single but was alone for the night) and headed to one of our favourite bars.
After grabbing our first drink (cocktails all round) we quickly surveyed the bar and it was filling up nicely. It was after our second trip to the bar that we started to notice things weren’t quite right.
The man behind me started shouting “I’ll take the blame for you, I’ll take every last bit of blame for you.” I turned and asked “Who are you – Bruno Mars.” It was at this point that I smelt it, that over whelming stench of beer farts (they absolutely stink). After laughing at the fact that his fart stank, I chatted to the men (one was wearing a suit and carrying a man bag that was hand-sewn together and the other a turtle neck jumper – i think that they had a bit of a bro-mance going on!).  When I joined the others, they told me it stank of farts (the smell was so bad that it had gone from the bar all the way across to our table!!)
Great Start to the night, getting farted at and not even offered a drink as a consolation!
It was after the first incident that we started to realise that all was not right within the bar, when we started to properly look around (sobering up quickly!!) we noticed just what an odd bunch of people there were in the bar.
Firstly we had the boy band rejects, about 70% of the male population in the bar looked as if not even Louis Walsh would want them in his category. There were girls who were wearing leisure yoga pants and trainers and dancing in an off beat fashion. A 4ft Guy dancing with a 7ft Girl and our favourite of the night 70's Style tuxedo wearing guy ( complete with bow tie and crazy hair) dancing in our space, like he had never danced before !! Our friend said it best 'its honestly like we have an extra from every type of film in here.'
It was literally as if a full moon had just occurred right outside the bar. Not one person was trying to make conversation, instead they were simple running around the dance floor in crab style fashion attempting to grope as many people as possible.
Needless to say the three of us escaped to the safe haven of the Golden Arches! And as we sat there with our Big Macs and Cokes we pondered the night’s craziness, with all of us declaring that it was beyond a joke!
It did however lead me to ask the question just how far in our really high (and by this time painful) heels did we have to walk to find the Prince Charming we are looking for!
