It feels longer than two weeks since I last wrote my blog! So much has gone on.

I'll start with two weeks ago when I had my first weekend off in ages!

Was so nice to go back to my home in London and see my nephew Louie, who aged just one, as well as all my friends.

We went out in Hoxton for my friend Carla's birthday in Hoxton Square, where it rained all day!

A few drinks turned into a drunken escapade to my friend Sam's, where we all got naked and danced to music videos on Youtube then somehow managed to all get covered in banana!

Odd but very funny.

Her French male neighbours could see us dancing and we made friends with them. We all ended up breaking into Hoxton Square park about 3am and sat on old blankets drinking til the sun came up!

(So much for a weekend off).

Last Wednesday I flew to Dubai where I was DJing on the Thursday at the amazing Chi (Lodge) and I had the best few days.

Dubai was 38 degrees but the nightlife is cool and I met one of my favourite DJ's, Paolo Mojo - see the photo of me looking very drunk and dishevelled at his gig on the Friday.

Lovely guy.

Flew back Saturday, and I was DJing in Cardiff on Saturday night. On Sunday I did a one-off show on Kerrang! with the lovely OJ Borg.

My friend Bradley came over Sunday evening and cooked me a roast dinner (not had one since about 1986!) Yummy!

This week I've got three training sessions in the gym with my kickboxer trainer Wayne as I'm off on my holidays soon!

This morning I had my tattoo lasered again at the SK:N clinic - it's soooooo painful but it#s fading a lot now so won't be long 'til its gone!

I'm DJing at Manchester Pride this weekend then back to London to see all my family, and on Sunday I'm going away for two weeks.

But I'll tell you about my adventures in my next blog in two weeks' time.

Until then, lots of love...

Kate

I'm writing this blog and the time is 1:17am - I should be asleep but my body clock is all over the place!

I guess I'm over-tired - the last two weeks summed up in one word would be 'Hectic!'

My own club night 'Wot Party?' had its second party on Thursday 24th July at The Source Bar in Maidstone, and the brilliant Funkagenda played for us. He's one of my favourite DJs to watch.

Then I flew to Spain for the weekend to DJ, and see my good friends who live there.

Got back late Sunday, did Kerrang! Radio Drive Monday and Tuesday, then flew to the Greek Islands for two gigs Wednesday and Thursday night.

Flew back Friday to London, then straight back out to Spain again to DJ Friday night at Dreamers in Marbella.

Saturday and Sunday I had off, so stayed with friends in Espana and partied. Went to Nikki Beach for the first time and it was the best beach party I've ever been to.

Amazing!

Back at Kerrang now for the next two weeks, training hard at the gym for my holiday to Ibiza in September!

I took my good friend Alison Hammond (who I was in Big Brother 3 with) to train with me and my personal trainer Wayne last week.

It was really funny. She was trying to do the exercises I was doing. We were all in giggles - but she's since been to see Wayne on her own and loves working out as well!

This weekend my gig in Slovenia got cancelled, which means I've a weekend off so I'm going to spend it in the studio making a follow-up track to my first EP 'Screw You'.

I'm very excited, I love producing tunes as much as DJing out. My friends are coming up from London tonight, too, so we're going for dinner at the lovely Italian restaurant Cielo.

I'm looking forward to eating lots of yummy pasta and catching up with the girls ...

Speak soon!

Welcome to my second blog.

I've been a busy butterfly over the past 2 weeks!

This morning I got my hair cut and coloured - I've gone more ash blonde now and had about 2 inches cut off!

I didn't actually want that much cut off but my hair really needed it, so now I've got a bob!

Hopefully it'll grow quickly for my holiday...

I'm sat in the office of Kerrang! now, writing my blog before I start putting my show together for Drive Time.

Been busy with DJ gigs at The Plug in Sheffield, (amayonaissing!) Lush in Northern Ireland (wicked) and a hen night with 25 of us all dressed up as hideous disgusting bridesmaids and wedding guests.

The hen was in some vile white wedding dress that made her look like a Russian prostitute / Thai bride!

Check out the photo of me on the right!

I couldn't find any bridesmaid dresses so I went as a badly dressed wedding guest ...

This week I've got my own night at The Source Bar down in Maidstone happening.

The night has only recently launched and is called 'Wot Party?' The launch went really well and I'm hoping our 2nd party will be just as great, if not better!

We have Funkagenda on the bill too which is cool as he's playing at Global Gathering on Friday so it's a nice little warm-up, too!

I'm hoping that Wot Party? will end up being taken around the country to different venues.

I'm DJing at Dreamers in Puerto Banus Saturday night, then flying to Greece next week to DJ a couple of gigs - and on my return I'm flying back out to Spain to DJ again next weekend.

Tonight I'm hosting an evening of Decadent Fashion & Burlesque at The Vaults in Birmingham with Harvey Nichols.

Very exciting - I love watching fashion shows (mainly in hope of catching some gorgeous boys in their pants) and The Vaults is a really cool venue for a night out.

I've been training really hard at Fighting Fit Gym on Lionel Street, close to Kerrang Radio.

I only have about 35 days left to get my bikini body in to shape for my friend's wedding in Italy and my holiday to Ibiza!

love exercising. It releases all the stress and is really good fun - especially when you train at a gym that has a boxing ring!

Bye for now!

Love, Kate

Hello everyone - my very first blog!

I was really excited when I was asked to do this as I'm a massive chatterbox and enjoy writing in my diary.

This, however, will be a blog written by myself every two weeks, telling stories and tales of what I've been up to - I hope you enjoy reading it.

As I sit at my desk in the Kerrang! Radio office, I'm in a bit of pain.

This morning I visited SK:N Clinic in Harborne for laser treatment on the tattoo on my tummy.

I don't like my tattoo anymore and I'm currently having laser treatment to remove it.

Every six weeks I go to see Natalie at the clinic. It's a really lovely place, and they do all kinds of skin treatments.

Natalie is lovely, too but I must do her nut in with the amount of screaming that comes out my mouth.

It's really painful!

By next year it'll have completely disappeared, though.

In the meantime, here's some advice - DON'T GET TATTOOS!

You'll regret them in the long run.

Mindless Self Indulgence (one of my favourite bands) have just walked in to the building for some interviews! I'm star-struck.

Jimmy Urine from the band has the most outrageous hair I've ever seen! Punk rock star / electric shock is the only way I can describe it.

Amazing though...

Tonight I'm going to present an award at 'Taste of Birmingham', a gala evening where The Restaurant Awards are as well.

I rarely get dressed up so I'm looking forward to the evening - lots of lovely restaurants serving yummy dishes and delicious canapés.

I'm presenting the Restaurant of the Year Award.

Having lived in Birmingham for nine months now, I've yet to experience many restaurants so hopefully I'll be able to take note of the winners and get myself to some cool places instead of living off takeaways!

This weekend I'm DJing at The Plug in Sheffield. I've played there before - it's a really cool club. I'm looking forward to it and I'm soooooo glad I've got Friday off.

I tend to DJ both Friday and Saturday nights, which can be really tiring, so I'm going to chill out Friday night and go shopping Saturday day time...

Woo woo!

By the way, my nanny has just finished radiotherapy treatment for ovarian cancer and I just want to say how proud I am of her.

She was diagnosed with cancer last August and straight away gave up and thought it was the end of her life.

But with my family and my granddad's support, along with her own latter self-belief, she came through chemo and radiotherapy.

Her hair has all grown back and she is looking radiant and beautiful again.

Well done, nanny! If you know anyone, or you are someone in the same position, remember it is so important to stay positive and never give up.

Thanks for reading and I'll be blogging again soon.

Don't forget I present the drive time show on Kerrang! Radio Monday to Friday 4pm to 7pm.

And if you want to know where I'm DJing at the weekend go to www.myspace.com/djkatelawler
