a Spice-y night...

For a show that sold out in 37 seconds, I reckon we were extremely lucky (?) to get tickets to see the Spice Girls!! I know, the Spice Girls are not cool (I know, I know) - but I figured they'd be a bit of fun. For £66 a ticket, they'd want to be packed full of fun!

The concert was last night (sun) and they were awesome! They certainly didn't get this popular by being crap. They started out with Spice Up Your Life, and everyone was on their feet (which is perilous at the O2, cos it's so steep), and did all the faves like Stop, 2 Become 1, Who Do You Think You Are etc etc, and encored with Wannabe. Each did a solo - except Posh who did a solo catwalk (righto). Actually, Posh was continually cheered throughout the show, every time she sang. They absolutely love her here, it's bizarre.

They sang 23 songs, with a live band, and had at least 10 amazing outfit changes. I think they sang live (they certainly sounded a tidge off-key at times) - but it was all great fun. I found it slightly horrifying that I knew most of the words to their songs - they must have entered my head by ozmosis, cos I certainly don't own any of their CD's. Really!

Weather update : absolutely *bleeeeping* freezing. Weather forecasters predict a 6 to 1 chance it will snow on christmas day (I have no idea if they're good odds or not!).

On that note, I want to wish everyone a warm, safe! and very very merry christmas. Have a sunbake for me....
