Well hello! welcome to the official CFA blog, I'm not exactly very good at this sort of thing, I tend to ramble, Emma (SingDecani to those on twitter) would be much better, but as she is busy revising (or procrastinating, which is probably more likely!) you're stuck with me (with a little help from Hannah), though I shall try and rope her in for future blog posts, as she is a bit of a grammar queen. So yes, anyway, enough of that, moving on...

I'm sure that if you are on here, you are well aware of who the CFA are, however, for those of you who live under a rock (Not that there is anything wrong with living under a rock, I myself often feel as though I live under a rock, coming from far up in the North-east of l'Anglaterre and about a billion miles away from Camilla and the rest of the CFA!) the CFA stands for Camilla Fans Anonymous, we're a group of Camilla Dallerup fans, we all met through a mutual love of the amazing Camilla, who is a professional dancer, who took part in the first  6 series' of Strictly Come Dancing, and won the 6th, with partner Tom Chambers! We're all so grateful to Camilla because if it weren't for her, we wouldn't have all met and become such amazing friends! Anyway, here's a bit of a summary of us all! 


Right, well, first up there is me! I'm Catherine/Catherino/'Rino or occasionally Flapjack, because according to Emma and Ruth, I have obsessive compulsive FJ disorder!  As I've already said, I live far up in the North east, where Camilla never seems to venture (not that I blame her, the north isn't very exciting!)  According to Hannah I have a "bold personality but a warm loving heart, Catherino is always up for anything. She is an absolute star and is sooo brainy we all know she will pass her GCSE’s with flying colours and make the CFA and Camilla (oh and her parents) very proud. smile.gif She does always seem to be right actually…which is kinda annoying but funny smile.gif She is a fab-u-lous person to be around and a real friend!" 

Next up there's Emma/Ninja/Axe murderer (In fairness, I really don't know where the last two came from! Emma's lovely really!! ) As I've already said, she's very good with grammar and English! She's also quite possibly the funniest person ever! Talk to her for 5 minutes and you'll be in tears of laughter! She is SO amazing, and can always manage to cheer the CFA up if anyone is feeling down!  On top of being amazingly clever and funny, she is also a FABULOUS present buyer! She got Ruth and I the best Christmas present ever! I shall go and see if I can find a picture somewhere...

Here we are! 

Though obviously that one is Emma's, it would be a bit silly getting Ruth and I one that said Emma on! Aren't they fabulous!! And on the front they say "Dancing is escapism..." Our favourite Camilla quote, from her Magic of Dance DVD! 

Right, next there is Ruth/Ruthus/Pirate or any variation derived from the word pirate! Poor little Ruth was so sweet and innocent before she co-formed the CFA, and she now holds the award for 'most corrupted mind since joining the CFA' Ruth's completely amazing, and I'm sure she has been on a train more in the past year, travelling to see various CFA-ers than she has the rest of her life! 5 hours on a train up north to see me, and 5 hours back! Ouch! What dedication!! Ruth is completely amazing, and has a heart of gold! She's a friend to anyone, and she's always there for anyone who needs her! 

Then there is Gemma!! Who is completely amazing, and has met Camilla about a billion times! Gemma's so amazingly clever! She lives at the complete opposite end of the country to me, which is just plain awkward! with her living in the south-west, and me in the north east, CFA meet ups are practically impossible!  Gem's an absolute GOD to the CFA, after managing to get us all signed messages from Ian and CAMILLA!!!!! Gemma is so kind, and is always there to help out if you need her, and as the oldest and cleverest CFA-er, she's always there if we need help with revision or work, 'cause she's amazingly nice like that! 

Last but not least there is Hannah-Spanner-the-supermarket-scanner (Yes, she will kill me for calling her that smilie ) She's a little bit in love with Gethin Jones and Ian Waite, especially there derrières (smilie). She wishes to marry Gethin, and is going to kill me when she reads this smilie Woops! She's fallen over during a dance competition at Blackpool tower, and is the youngest member of the CFA!

Anyway, I'm assuming that anyone reading this has probably got heinously bored of my ramblings and given up a long time ago, for those of you who have made it this far, you should be very proud of yourself. You shall be rewarded. 
So yes, to sum up, that's who we are!  We all love each other very much, and we all love Camilla even more!! 
Our absolute DREAM is for all of us to watch Camilla perform, and then for us all to meet her together! That would be amazing! 

 
 Ruth,Emma and Gemma were all lucky enough to meet her on Valentines day 2010! (L-R Ruth, Camilla, Gemma and Emma) Hopefully next time Camilla does an event, all 5 of us will be able to go!


Ruth and I at the Strictly tour 2010! 

And Ruth and Emma at Strictly 2010!

Anyway, that's enough pictures! Hope this post didn't bore you too much! 

Lot's of love 
Catherine and the rest of the CFA xxxx
