 50'S EASY ACCESS POINT 

Hello and welcome to the 50's party.

The Kray Twin documentary points out how they were all hungry as WW2 rationing hadn't completely gone.

This means no food for the end-of-month slimming day off.

The only thing I could think of was Saturday night go for a meal in a restaurant and then to a bar or nightclub.

Sunday Night is go for a meal in a restaurant.

Romantic meal for 2 Sunday Dinner option

If you want to cook and can purchase ingredients I discovered the 50's had spaghetti bolognese and spaghetti carbonara.  I'd happily make both of those,  we had spaghetti carbonara at weekends when we hadn't any money as we were setting up our business.  We had that and a bottle of wine for £5 using the penny convertor and clubcard points.  You could serve it with full-fat garlic bread and a salad as your one-day off-a-month treat.  If you have a starter and dessert it would be maybe more of a treat.  Not sure what they had in the 50's so you could just do your favourite Italian dessert and starter I suppose.

Recipes for this option:

I wouldn't recommend ready meals at the moment as the last ones we had were awful.

Also, the last co-op trifle we had wasn't as good as usual so I left mine at the Victorian party.

We can't get tiramisu anymore.

Really not sure why someone has ruined the bit of food left that was edible.

Takeaway Options for the 50s day off slimming

Mcdonalds and fries or Burger King as in the '50s is when Britain got Wimpy.

Or Chinese takeaway.

Suppose you don't have dessert with Chinese anyway.

or Fish and chips.

This is how I used to do my day off actually.  Would go for a meal in a restaurant.  I'd rather do that again than be stuck at home.  The only problem is all the restaurants we used to go to shut down because of covid restrictions and social distancing ridiculous expectations and the ones near us sell horrible food we don't want.  Maybe we will find something.  Also, the bar we walked past looked really anti-social.  The world is a weird place at the moment.

At the Victorian party, we couldn't get potatoes, so we actually ate less than on a slimming evening.  

To complete the slimming calendar, the world needs to start feeding its inhabitants properly really.  And also realise we all have a right to be here and share the planet.

Hitchcock festival

You could just have a Hitchcock festival as I have found quite a few from the 50s and they are all free.

Never found free versions before so quite pleased with this.

Perfume Junky

Really looking forward to this, I save it up for the event and join in myself.  Not sure where it will go this weekend ~ apart from a few favourites.  The vendor of the Hollywood blog will get the commission I think ~ so purchasing it through her link.

Saturday night tv

I would recommend the Kray Brothers Film starring the Kemp brothers, (from Spandeaux Ballet).

Sunday TV

Bell book and candle

Love this film, found a free version, but I already purchased the Youtube one for my collection.  

Yield to the night 

Never found a free version of this.  I purchased it and have watched it a few times.  I will watch it in the 50s and nostalgic Christmas.  It works as a film you can watch over and over again, so worth purchasing.  It could be a bit nostalgic if I'm honest and it is black and white.  I'm a film fan now ~ so definitely one for film fans.

2 of my favourite films ~ you can't really have one favourite film.

 80's party easy access post Used to do this on Tumbler but it wasn't working properly last time so giving this website a try instead.  Have added advertising to make this legal. Just add your 80's fayre, whatever you can get at the moment, till things get better, your favorite 80's tipple, (alcoholic or nonalcoholic) and sit back and enjoy your fave film, will put my film recommendations on here but you can browse Pinterest for loads more 80's film and Tv choices.  Then get up and have a dance in your living room to a top of the pops party and take in some or all of the concerts.  In the COVID lockdown, we stayed up all night till the Waterloo sunset.  Lastly ~ enjoy!!! Saturday 2nd March These are my film recommendations ~ there are more in pinterest.  You can also try these two looks out in the 80s party fashion folder. Get up and dance off the food and drink to the top of the pops or drink water and get fit and loose weight, You can opt to celebrate all night!!!

 How to do an 80's Party During lockdown, I started throwing online parties.  I was on my own and didn't fancy getting drunk alone.  The internet answered my dilemma and I put together the top of the pop parties and horror films.  It became a weekly habit and getting up and having a dance to top of the pops with a drink turned out to be fun. This evolved into a few Christmas parties and a 70's themed party at the end of dry January. A few teeny bopper ravers were a bit sarcastic about online parties, but don't knock it till you try it. In the early days of Twitter, they may have even been shocked. In those days I had to do the heavy drinker test. Really enjoyed the alcohol and music parties, but then I had to go dry and dry out. The 80s party is a bit more organised than the rowdy chaotic early days. Got the idea for this from supersizers do the 80's. 80's fashion ideas recommended from this documentary Sue shops at Peter Jones in Sloane Square It is now partner

 Victorian Party Hello and welcome to the Victorian Party Easy Access point. The first thing I have to recommend is actual footage of Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria Arrives at a Royal Garden Party (1898) | British Pathé Her Majesty Queen Victoria. Last visit to Ireland. The only "Victorian" film.(1900). She looks really nice and she obviously loves her people and they love her. Hope this gives you a feel for Victorian Times. Just to make this legal ~ some advertising clive Christian  1872 Can't believe I found this, Victorian perfume is still available to purchase today.  The lid of the bottle is styled from Queen Victoria's crown.  This is a great find for a perfume junky or a Victorian history society member. click the link below if you would like to purchase or just browse out of interest . clivechristian.com/products/1872-feminine Have to say rose is one of my favourite fragrances which was one of the Victorian  favourites. The Victorian Party The Food  Wasn't
