Cheesy Chat Up Lines

We've all heard them (and some of us have probably used them a few times too) those awful, toe curling, totally Cheesy Chat Up Lines!

Well this Valentine's Day we are challenging all you Single Girls (and Guys if you're reading) to try one out and see if it works. 

That's right we want you to choose a Cheesy Chat Up Line and say it to a total stranger - what's the worst that can happen? We'll be doing it too and tweeting all about it on Valentine's Night. If you want to join in then #cheesychatupline to let us know how you get on!! 

Here's a list of SGW favourites that you can choose from (or invent your own, but if you do please share it with us!!!)

1. How much does a Polar Bear weigh? Enough to break the ice! 

2. Kiss me if I'm wrong but isn't your name Hubert/ Gretchen? (and then hope that their name isn't Hubert or Gretchen because that would be AWKWARD!) 

3. I bet you £10 you're going to turn me down!! (Nobody wants to loose money!!)

4. I'm new to town could I have directions to your house please? (This one absolutely cracks me up!) 

5. Nice suit, it'd look good on my bedroom floor! 

6. Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk past again? 

7. Here's 10p go and call your mum and tell her you won't be home tonight! (Classic line although I am sure it costs more than 10p to make a call now!!)  

8. I seem to have lost my number, can I have yours instead?

9. There must be something wrong with my eyes,I just can't take them off you!!

10.Is your father a thief? Because someone stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes.

11. If I told you that you had a nice body, would you hold it against me?

12. My magic watch/ bag/ necklace tells me that you haven't got any underwear on.... (I have) Oh well it must be an hour fast then!

13. Do you have any raisins? Oh well how about a date then?!

14. Do you want to play a game? Okay pick a number between 1 and 5 (3?) Sorry you lost, you're going to have to take ALL your clothes off! 

15. I think there's something wrong with my phone, could you call it for me to check it works!! 

Well Girls (and guys), you mission has been set.... go enjoy being single this Valentine's and let us know how you get on!! 

Love SGW

Why we LOVE Valentine's Day!

We know what you're thinking!

Single Girl World loving the day that is all about loved up couples?! Well, girls it's true... we really do love Valentine's Day!!

We refuse to join the legions of single people who complain and moan about being alone on Valentine's Day... or who claim it's a pointless day.

Here at SGW we have embraced the day and turned it into a Friend-Fest! We have an annual "Get-Together" with all of our single friends (soem of our loved-up friends have even showed up before now!)

Last year we had a good old fashioned girly party (with alcohol thrown in for good measure) yummy food, cakes, party games (think "Dream phone" and "Snog, Marry, Avoid")

SGW doesn't see the point in sulking about being Single on Valentine's Day - you're single for every otther day what makes Valentine's Day so different?

So embrace all the things you LOVE about being single, and celebrate them on Valentine's Day! Celebrate the fact that you have awesome friends and the fact that you don't have to try and "Out-Romance" other couples on the 14th!

Laugh, drink and be Merry.... Girls you know you want too!!!

This year we are putting our glad-rags on and heading out for a night of live music. We plan to use bad chat up lines on boys, my favourite is:

"Are you in pain? It must've hurt like hell falling from heaven!"

Will do a post tomorrow featuring all the best chat up lines to use on boys.... If you have any please send them our way!!

With Love

The Houndogs....

Hello Girls.....

Over the Christmas season I visited the Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park (I blogged about it too if you missed out on the fun!) While there I was lucky enough to catch an amazing band "The Houndogs".

The Boys had the whole audience tapping their toes and dancing along to some classic songs, my favourite was their cover of "Tainted Love" and of course "Hound Dog" (WE LOVE ELVIS AT SGW!!!)

Take a peek at some of my pics from the night.... They don't really do the boys justice as they play with flaming cymbals and stand on their double bass! We were literally in awe of them as they played (we are both trying to learn guitar so were ultra jealous of their skills!!)

If you are looking for a band to rock your party then these are the boys you need!!!!!

 


 



Three Handsome men, who sing and play rocking music ..... whats not to love - even your Nan would like them!!!!

Lots of Love SGW!

Party Bags

If you read our previous post about Butlins you may have spotted some pictures of our wonderful "Party Bags". We made them ourselves to use on the weekend, they were fun and cheap to make.

We bought plain brown paper sandwich bags and decorated them with old ribbons, gems and wrapping paper. We then filled them with goodies as a fun gift for everyone for the weekend.
We filled our party bags with:

Mints
Travel toothbrushes
Dry Shampoo
Glow Sticks
Shots of Apple Vodka
Red Bull
Paracetamol
Sweets and Chocolate

The party bags are a fun and cheap way to give everyone in your party a little gift, it cost us about £10 to fill them! And they are great keepsakes from the weekend too!!!!

Butlins Brilliant "Big Weekend."

The month of October brings Autumn and both of our birthdays, T at the beginning and J at the end of the month. This year we really wanted to do something different, so we decided to take a little trip away for the weekend. We searched for somewhere to go, and stumbled across Butlin's Big Weekend and now we are hooked (we are already planning our next girly weekend!)

Butlins Big Weekend is basically Butlins without the kids and red coats, but with a lot of dancing, laughing and drinking - got your attention now haven't we!

We got a bargain price on a two bed room for three nights. The room was perfectly furnished and just right for crashing out in at the end of a long day!

The Big Weekend we chose was Skegness, Disco Inferno, and even though neither of us were around to hear the songs the first time round we loved singing and dancing along to all the "Disco Classics"!

Let us give you a quick run down on the best bits from our weekend:
We howled with laughter for the whole weekend
We rocked the fancy dress with our homemade 70's style costumes
We met loads of lovely people, the staff, the guests, the security guards - everyone!
We loved climbing and posing on the giant beach scene, even if it was raining (big kids at heart),
We loved the food in the Sun and Moon Pub and the cupcakes in the Front Room
We adored the Silent Disco - they are hilarious
We loved our welcome by Derek, he was so cute (we would also like to take this opportunity to nominate him for Employee of the Month!)

Skegness had lots to offer, a beach, a swimming pool, a variety of brilliant bars and clubs and not to mention a Spa. If you are looking for a girly weekend away from the city, then this is the PERFECT place to spend it. You don't have to walk far, there are no night buses or tubes, no busy crowds, everyone is lovely and there is an array of entertainment!!!
We will definatley be returning! Thanks Skegness for the best Birthday Weekend EVER!!!!

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!
