It was Mollie’s 21st birthday yesterday!! And she left a blog telling us all about her day…

05.06.08

I woke up with Ness and she sang me happy birthday in bed, hehehe i love her! Then we all went down to breakfast and opened my birthday cards – it was so exciting to have actually got some from some fans – like Jenny who waited outside for me in Cardiff!! Thank you all so much!! So, after that we started discussing how actually i would like a party (a bit late i know!), but Rochelle has agreed to be the official party planner, hehe, who better to organise a fun evening for me – balloons, music, and delicious food – she is the queen of it all!! Then the girls then took me up to their room and gave me a pressie!!! It is the most gorgeous perfume, (you might have seen me on the video trying to findone, but i had no luck!) So they came to my rescue and bought me Rockand Rose Couture! It is in THE most beautiful bottle and smells sooooogood! I kept spraying it alllll day, our poor driver must have gone home smelling of it, hehe!!! They also gave me some strawberry shoe laces!! (i have a feeling you slipped those in Frank hehe!!)

My family then came up to see me at the hotel in Birmingham!! It was SUCH a lovely surprise! I had no idea they were coming!! They brought me a cookie cake and my mum had made me a photo album full of photos of me growing up and messages from my friends. It is so cute, i love it so much! My sisters gave me my very own Flip video camera, so now I will be filming allllll the time!! Woo!!!!… Watch out Steven Spielberg!!!

It was then time to head off to the NEC and start sound checking etc, for the last time!! Boo hoo!!! but then I got THE best surprise – Girls Aloud came to sing happy birthday to me in our dressing room!!! i felt like THE luckiest girl!!! Who gets Girls Aloud singing happy birthday to them on their birthday!! WOW!!! The Saturdays were laughing at me soooo much afterwards, saying how red i went and how i had THE biggest smile on my face, hehe, oops, how UNCOOL!!! I absolutely loved it though!! They are such sweet girls!! We couldn’t possibly have gone on tour with a nicer band!!! They really made everything so special!!

Before the performance we all gave each other a high-five for the last time (something you probably won’t be surprised to hear i started, and now have to do EVERY night without fail before we go on stage, for good luck!), and then we had a group hug and said how proud we were of each other!! We busted our moves out and gave it our all, but not only that, Una completely unexpectedly told the whole NEC that it was my birthday and got everyone in the arena to sing Happy Birthday to me!!! It was AMAZING!!! Thank you so much Una!!! I will never ever forget that!!!!

We then went to watch Girls Aloud’s show, which as i’m sure i’ve already said to you is UNBELIEVABLE, and then afterwards went to the wrap party!! It was so much fun! Such a great evening and Girls Aloud looked absolutely stunning.

Us Sats put on our party frocks and laughed and chatted the night away, and it was lovely for us go out together, not only because it was the end of the tour, but also to celebrate my 21st! A huge thank you to everyone who made my birthday such a special one and for all the birthday wishes on the forum!! Thank you so much!!!

Birthday kisses from the 21 year old!

Today we arrived in SUCH a cool city!!…Ok I’ll give you 3 clues.

Their home football kit is red and they’re very successful, Take That came from here (trust me to know that!), AND one of my best friends comes from here (ok so that one doesn’t really help!).. But I’m sure you’ve guessed it, yes, Manchester!!! I’m having such a good time here!!! Frankie and I got up nice and early, shot down to breakfast and hit the shops!! After having spent wayyy too much money (oops i hope my bank manager isn’t reading this!!) Frank took me to Yo Sushi!!! OH. MY. GOD. it is soooooo cool!!! I’d never been there before but we had a blast!!! We chatted about ALL sorts – like how it would be good to come here on a date, about all our new clothes, and about everything that’s happened on the tour… We were grabbing dishes left, right and centre and ordering all sorts of weird things!!

I really really loved it, ten brownie points to you there Frankie!!

Good choice! . Believe it or not, I enjoyed it so much Rochelle and I went out for some pan Asian food later on!!

I’m now back in the hotel room, tucked up in bed thinking about whether to go back into this amazing city or whether that’ll be a bit dangerous with all these tempting shops around! I’m just thinking about last night’s show! It was SO great, the audience were amazing, so supportive, but unfortunately Frank’s mic pack didn’t work so she had to walk off stage and get it fixed!! It was horrible looking at the band and seeing one member missing, I was like “ahhh where’s she gone!!!” The arena was absolutely MASSIVE!! I can’t wait to perform there again tonight!!

I cant believe the tour is nearly over now! I really don’t want it to end!! Every morning at the moment I wake up and think “yes! I’m performing tonight!” I’m going to miss it so much!! I feel like I have been the luckiest girl in the world! I guess we’ll just have work hard enough to make sure we have our own tour one day!! WOW!! I’m looking forward to seeing my family back at home though, and giving my dog a big squeeze, yeyy!!

Anyway I probably won’t get a chance to do another blog on tour unfortunately, so until next time guys.. thanks for all your support!!

– you have been unbelievable!!!

Mwah mwah mwah

What’s Hot In The Saturdays’ World!!!!

Mollie: Where do I start…

Well, firstly and foremost I have to say EDAMANE!!! Jeepers creepers these girls are obsessed!! And when I say obsessed, I mean obsessed!!! unfortunately for me, I am the only one who just really doesn’t get what the enjoyment is of sucking tiny beans out of a tube!! I didn’t even know what edamane was before we came on tour, but it feels like everywhere I look there’s an edamane bean tube!!! Believe it or not, Una and I even had to pay to get a taxi all the way to Wagamamas, pick up some edamane and bring it back to the hotel!!…Don’t worry I didn’t leave empty handed, I picked up a Yaki Soba (my fave) and we all snuggled up together eating in the hotel room!!

Next… Right the other day, I seriously felt like I was back in school!! I was sharing a room with Rochelle and I heard THE biggest gasp EVER, when I told her I didn’t moisturise my body everyday!!! Oh deary me!!…Not a good move!!! Next thing I know, Roch had laid out ALL her products (in order for me to use them) and said I was not to leave the bathroom until I had used each of them!!! Hehehe, you gotta love her!!! Man almighty, I was cleansing, toning, moisturing…you name it, I was onto it!!! BUT, the girl speaks sense (believe it or not, hehehe), when I used her Body Shop Coconut Body Butter, I actually fell in love!!!! It smelt soooooo good, and i felt sooo good after having putting it on!!! I later realised that ALL the girls loved it, and maybe it was me who was the weirdo after all!!!! Good work Rochy, you have taught me well!! 😉

On tour, we have sooo much travelling to do, which I absolutely LOVE, but it means that we are always quickly stopping in service stations to grab food on the run!!! We’ve been trying hard not to eat toooo much rubbish, so when we see one where there’s a Marks And Spencer’s it REALLY is like Christmas has come early!!!! Poor Tommy (our tour manager), he’ll be happily driving down the motorway, when all of a sudden he hears 5 girls calling out “M&S!!!!!”

Now… you’ve heard the phrase “caught red-handed”!!! What about brown-handed!?!?!…Well you will have done if you come into our dressing room!!! Each night before the show Una and I rub on the shimmer for our legs to give them a glossy look!!! I have to admit though, Una knows when to stop, me on the other hand, sometimes I am certain I can’t see any difference and then all of a sudden Frankie comes in the room and she’s like “Moll i really think you should stop!!!!!” Oooooops!!!! That’s what friends are for!! 😉 …And hey while I ‘m talking about getting ready for each show, every night Frankie has been doing my hair, so a BIG thank you to her!!! Love ya!

Finally… we all know Miss White likes to sing, hey!!! Well, she bought the Mariah Carey album, and when I say we haven’t heard the end of it, i mean LITERALLY!! We have heard that album over and over AND over again!!!… But, the funny thing is that I think we all know the words, and it’s not even from having heard the songs…it’s from Nessa singing them out when she’s got her ipod on!!! Yes, so we have like 5 hour long car journeys, listening to the live a capella version of Mariah’s album!!!!…Oh Ness I do love you, even if you are belting over my ipod!!!! Hehehe!!!! Everyone after 3…”touch my body, la la la…”

What a great life this is so far…..…!! We are so lucky!!!! xxxxx
