A little while back we received a game from University Games called Chicken Charades. I thought it would be fun to play with the children so I agreed to review and feedback on the blog. This is my feedback: I was wrong – it’s FAR better with grown ups instead! You could try to play Chicken …
#GOSSresolutions: January Update
It’s been a month since I made my new year resolutions and here I am to confess update the blog with my progress so far. First up – weight loss. In week one I joined in with Sim’s weight loss linky, Weight Loss Wednesday and was brutally honest about my current situation. I was set …
My weight loss journey begins. Again.
I’m actually going away on an all inclusive break in three days time, so consider this first line as a disclaimer. I intend to eat and drink whatever I like for three days and will write next week about my plan to ditch the flab. For now, I will just tell you my story so …
Hello, Thirty Three.
13th January 1982 was a good day. I arrived. I have learned, loved, and definitely lived. So far, so good. My twenties were a blur of good, largely drunken times and the arrival of 30 was a welcome one. I partied for about two weeks when the big 3-0 arrived. Thirty one and thirty two …
My life is complete: The chocolate edition
Tonight, my husband came home from work with this … Can it be true? A giant, larger than life Ferrero Rocher – all for me? It is true. I’ve never seen these before, so I recorded the grand unwrapping to share with you, because I’m either a little bit tapped or I love you a …
Declutter 365: Week One
One of my resolutions for this year is to be more organised. I don’t quite recall how I ended up at Taylor’s blog, Home Storage Solutions, but I’m glad I did. I think it was probably via Pinterest actually. Anyway, Taylor has spent a lot of time and energy creating and promoting her free printables …
Resolutions – New Year: Old Me
I have loads of resolutions I want to make this year and one of them is not to put so much pressure on myself. I take on lots of different things all the time: I start new projects, I agree to charity stuff, I set up new blogs … and then I get all panicked because …
Review: Peter Pan Goes Wrong
When The Lowry invited us to go along to see Peter Pan Goes Wrong, I really had no idea what to expect. I figured the show would be based on the usual Peter Pan story but would contain some twist or another. What I didn’t bank on was a bunch of people crashing their vehicles …
Something For Me 26/09/14
It isn’t very often I buy myself something to wear. It isn’t very often I treat myself to an evening of self-pampering. It isn’t very often I choose what to watch on TV. How often do you do something, just for you? This is the first of what I hope to be weekly posts, talking …
Skoda Yeti goes camping
This summer one of our adventures was to a campsite in North Yorkshire. To help us on our way, Skoda asked if we wanted to take one of their lovely Yeti Outdoor cars with us – how lucky is that?! We were sent a Skoda Yeti Outdoor Elegance 1.2 TSI. My husband was a bit …
