I am a long standing fan of The Lowry Theatre in Salford. I take the boys whenever I have the opportunity. We have seen quite a few different shows, and I’ve given away tickets for various shows via the blog too. Today I have a double treat for you. I have 2 tickets to giveaway …
Win a Blackspade Nightdress!
There’s something really comforting about having a long, hot bath before getting wrapped up warm and cosy in some really comfortable nightwear, curling up in front of the telly or with a good book in front of the fire, and really winding down of an evening. It can’t be any old nightwear though, it has to …
Project 365: Week 8
Another week flies by, another link up goes live, another blogger (me) is behind schedule … But at least today I’m writing the post with a chance of linking up, rather than writing it on Tuesday when I didn’t have a hope in hell. So this week … Day Forty Six We went on our …
Meal Planning Monday: 23.02.2015

Our first geocaching adventure
Today we went geocaching for the first time. We’ve talked about it for a while but haven’t ever managed to get round to it. Today was a beautiful day so Ted downloaded a geocaching app and off we went. We were hopeful. We got to the location of the first cache only to find … …
Beados Design Station Review
Recently we were asked if we’d like to review the Beados Quick Dry Design Station. In the past Louis and I have had a lot of fun with Hama Beads but Rowan found them to be a bit fiddly, so I thought he might like to try this. The Design Station kit from Character includes 500 …
My list of things to do before I’m 40
