Ello, ello to all you Foxy Voxingtons out there.

They say that 3 of the most stressful things in life are changing jobs, having a baby and moving.

Well, I definitely agree on the last point!

As the sun blazed down on Soho last Saturday, myself, Chris, Charles and Jess were busy shifting, pulling apart and re-building A1 VOX.

It is now rising like a phoenix out of the ashes – or it will be once we are done - but at least the first phase of moving the office is now complete.

I am now the proud owner of a brand spanking new swivel chair, keyboard and mouse, and have more room than I know what to do with.

Next week we will buying an office plant and will be asking all you folk out there to name it for us. That’s right people, a little piece of A1 could be named by you, or indeed after you.....oh the kudos!

The stationery cupboard was a particularly tricky customer to move. With stainless steel innards and rolling doors, this was one heavy duty customer.

Chris and I managed to transport the desks and filing cabinets down with a little bit of ‘from me to you’ but this cupboard had us beat. By the end of Friday Chris and I wanted to push it down the stairs, probably taking out the whole staircase in the process and maybe one of us too! So we waited until Saturday when the brawn and tenacity of Chris coupled with the brains and strategic thinking of Mr Nove came into perfect play.

It was like watching an episode of the crystal maze where you had to work out how to unassemble and then reassemble said cupboard within the ticking of sand. However, there was no bald crazy man with a stopwatch and the only prize at the end of it was a sweaty and relieved Chris and Charles and a happy clapping Jess and Sarah.

Chris actually ended up lying in the cupboard at one point to get the door runners in place and as you can see from this picture, Charles nearly succumbed to madness by emanating Jack Nicholson in The Shining!

So A1 VOX is about to get a re-vamp and don’t worry cause all you loyal supporters out there will be the first to hear of our re-launch as and when it happens.

So everything has been a bit crazzzy to say the least this week with new systems in place and me being a whole floor down from my usual spot.

We still played host to a number of familiar faces including Redd Pepper, Andrew Scott, Simon Lowe and Jayne Sharpe.

Another familiar face that we haven’t seen at A1 for a little while was Shelley Longworth.

Shelley is a British comedy actress and voiceover artist. More recently appearing in ITV's hit romcom Benidorm, she has appeared in the comedy sketch shows Tittybangbang on BBC Three and Angelo's on Five, voiced characters in the children's TV show Fimbles and filmed her own comedy series with her brother Adam Longworth, It's Adam and Shelley, which was broadcast on BBC Three in 2007. Seems this is a lady of many talents.

Shelley has been coming to A1 VOX for many a year so we were absolutely delighted to hear she had landed the role of Sam in Benidorm.

Her character is from up North, near Doncaster. Most people would probably identify with seeing someone like Sam on the street. But Benidorm being Benidorm Shelley had to wear some pretty risqué costumes. Think see-through tops, lacy bras and hideous swimming costumes:

“I had to get over all my body hang-ups and just say, 'I am this character and I'm pretty damn hot right now'. My boyfriend actually asked if I could keep one of the swimming costumes!"

So it seems the mental compliments to ones self paid off Miss Longworth.

“She’s got it...yeah baby she’s got it.....I’m your Venus...I’m your fire...your desire”

So can you guess who Shelley met whilst filming in sunny Benidorm..................

Only Blooming Bop-tastic - Bananarama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am too jealous for words.

I remember sitting cross legged in front of the telly with my finger poised on the ‘record’ button as the big hairy cornflake (Dave Lee Travis) introduced them.... and then out they came, big hair and attitude flying with enough Elnett hairspray to kill a field of wheat, wearing teeny tiny crop tops that just about covered their upper lady parts. Pure Pop Genius.

But enough of my jaunts down memory lane, let’s get back to our featured artist Shelley.

So you met Bananarama – tell us all......

“Yes! We did a scene together in Neptunes and then we went out for a meal together. They were great together those girls. Unfortunately I didn't meet Cilla Black, but everyone else said that she was a treat and really up for it. She wasn't worried about the script or anything like that. And Denise Welch as well, I did a scene with her and went out for a few drinks as well. She was great fun."

So it seems this is one hot gig if you pardon the pun. Learning lines on the beach with your fellow cast mates, singing karaoke in the evenings and wining and dining with all the other celebrities coming on to cameo for the show. Well done Shelley, it seems you have your flip flops firmly in the sand with this one.

London News:

So you may have heard about a certain wedding that takes place in London this year?

Yes mine is coming up as is Mr Nick Chambers, Mr Mark Strakers and Eleanor Howell who's planning her nuptials for this time next year.

But as much as all four of us are planning our perfect days, none of us will be having the marching band of the Ministry of Defence playing as we arrive at the church, large screens in Hyde Park and Trafalgar Square will not be showing every moment of our big day from Auntie Sue ripping her tights (whilst being a little OTT on welcome drinkies) to tragic dad dancing of the male variety, and we certainly will not have the likes the Archbishop of Canterbury marrying any one of us!

I am sure that by the time August comes round we will all be sick of the sight of bunting and the colours red, white and blue but until then let’s engross ourselves in British Patriotism as we become part of something that is sure to have the whole world looking to London.

Go get em Wills and Kate. May you have much fun, friendship and flipping good times!

So please don’t forget any plant names will be kindly received and if you aren’t lucky in naming our oxygen giving friend then maybe we could erect a placard on a drawer of the filing cabinet in your honour instead.

So this week has been a case of Blood, Sweat and Tears, but not a leg warmer I sight – till next time ladies and gentleman.
