Treehouse Tipples, this Brixton bar may not be the easiest to get to, but it’s worth it. With the days getting longer, what better way to spend the evening than in a cosy cavern, sipping snifters…? Grand Union

Trees for Cities, we clearly love trees, but we also love cities, so we particularly love trees in cities: they break up the concrete jungle, freshen the air and remind us that nature is wonderful. So imagine our delight when we found this charity right here in the big smoke.

Pillow fight, need we say more? Londoners are meeting up to join a simultaneous, worldwide battle of the bumps. Clearly it’s going to be loads of fun anyway, but you can feel extra happy as it raises money for Haiti.  It’s on Saturday 3rd April, 3.00pm, Trafalgar Square. Bring a pillow and see if you can spot us. We’re ready!

Ribbon & Roses, these goodies might be more up the girls’ Trees, but this gorgeous site is also great for presents. ‘Course we especially adore the leaf earrings, tree necklaces and lovebird lockets! Ribbon & Roses

Good things that have happened to us:

Apparently we need to schmooze more, so we went to our very first networking thing. Fortunately this wasn’t the corporate c*ck-fest that some of these events can be, it was much cosier. Organised by WedgeCard, which supports independent businesses and founded by John Bird, creator of The Big Issue, it’s an idea that’s after our own heart. So while we chatted to slebs with a social conscience, lamenting the collapse of the community, we munched on free food and decided hobnobbing ain’t half bad! Check out whether this marvellous little scheme is in your local area and get involved: Wedgies

Our Cannoli and Cocktails evening was a Sicilian sensation! Lovely local, Lisa, was unable to take the class – last minute emergency in Palermo, no joke. Which meant that an alternative had to be rustled up. Fortunately for us we had Faye, our foody friend. She judged the efforts of the chefs and tasted their wares. “Mamma Mia, fantastico”, she said! Grazie for coming. Try Lisa’s own goodies at the site: Le Dolci

Dating anecdotes:

Not exactly a dating anecdote, but funny. The other day on my way back from an interview, I decided to run into the supermarket to get a snack. While there I grabbed a handful of free Wasabi peas to calm my food rage. Took too many and started to choke. A knight in ripped jeans came over and offered me some of his water. We chatted a bit, as he was a friendly Northerner. I then couldn’t shake him; he kept striking up conversation in the aisles. He looked vaguely familiar, so I wondered if he was an old friend of my brother’s who I wasn’t recognising. As I walked back to the office, he joined me for the stroll. Not concerned about dangers, this is 3pm in Kensington, he started to tell me about his struggle to find love, so I told him it was his lucky day: “I am Cupid!”. He loved the sound of SiaT and said he’d definitely have signed up, if it weren’t for his “situation”. Intrigued, I dug a little and soon discovered that I was only talking to a member of Take That! Oops, slightly embarrassing. Can’t reveal his name in case I get in trouble, but suffice it to say when I Googled afterwards, I realised I’d been talking to the fit one. Really nice guy too, bit surprisingly perhaps. So sorry ladies, wish he could join us!

Romantic rendezvous:

We are trying to break a world record and we need your help! We need the most people ever to kiss in a tree at the same time. Sounds fun, eh? So we’re going to pick a date in the next few weeks to invite you to smooch under the St James’s Indian Bean Tree at Piccadilly at 6pm. We need as many people as possible, folks! Bring your friends, your colleagues, grannies. We’ll be raising money for Trees for Cities at the same time. Be prepared to come along, we’re going to drag you there. Breath mints at the ready!

Top dating tip:

Smile! With our new online site we can see how often different profiles are clicked on – unbelievably fascinating for three nosy wenches. We don’t know who’s looking at what, just which images are the most popular. Anyway, it would seem that by a million miles the most interesting photos are ones with big grins, which must reflect real life. If you look happy, people want to get their share of your flair. So show off your pearly whites, gang!
