Moofu, Me and the Dragons!

I don't know where to stat today as there is so much going on at the moment! I have posted my views about the recent controversy with Sam and the College on her blog page so you can enjoy reading my rant there! Despite the issue I certainly enjoyed seeing my fabulous boss on the News at Ten last night!

I guess I should start by explaining the title of my blog today as it is a bit random! Moofu is the name of my boyfriend Nick's business, me is me! and the Dragons are as you can see in the picture Peter Jones from the Dragons Den.
I have just got back from London after attending the BT Essence of the Entrepreneur awards with my boyfriend Nick who was one of twenty winners out of thousands of applicants nationwide. I mentioned in an earlier blog that he had a photo shoot last year with a famous photographer called Rankin and the pictures of the twenty winners were on display at the OXO building in Southbank wednesday night hence my not teaching in Liskeard this week!
Peter Jones is the famous face of the BT Entrepreneur Awards, he gave a speech and presented the winners with their certificates. I had joked about getting a picture with him before the event as he is soooo tall and I am tiny but didn't think we'd get the chance but after a few glasses of wine and the event being very intimate the opportunity presented itself and he was happy to have a picture taken with me. He took the mick out if my size by crouching down so you can't really see how tall he is next to me, I got a good grope of him though and have to say what a lovely man he is, very inspiring and he had a lot of time for everyone at the event.

Nick is well over 6ft tall and you can see him and Peter in the next picture when he was presenting Nick with his certificate how tall he really is!












Duncan Ballentine also attended and again was kind enough to sign Nicks certificate and allow us to take his picture.

Nick and I had such a great time at this event, we made a good networking team and enjoyed talking to the other nominees. Nick made some good contacts and we left quite drunk as the staff kept topping up our drinks every 5 mins so we don't really know how many glasses of free wine we had!
We were also celebrating our 2 year anniversary so Nick booked a very swish hotel for us to stay in and we enjoyed breakfast and a stroll around Canary Wharf the next day.

Again I am beaming with pride for Nick and his business and appreciate him involving me and taking me to such wonderful events. He always introduces me to everyone he talks to and tells them what I do with pride, we both enjoyed the reaction from the photographer Rankin when I told him I'm a Fitness Pole Dancing Instructor, he must have said wow 3 times and seemed very impressed! Moofu is doing well despite a rough end to last year and I have nothing but respect and admiration for Nick for all the hard work he puts in and what he is achieving (even though I do moan sometimes when he is soooo busy! Sorry baby!) He really is something special, a true Entrepreneur and the love of my life! Well done babe, in your own words, "Keep going and don't stop to look back!!"
