Days 60 to 66 of 2015 looked like this for us … Day Sixty Oh, what an evening we had on Sunday. The boys were playing upstairs and – although they are forbidden from jumping on the bed – they decided to have a little bounce, and also to throw in a few karate …
A night out with seven bro7hers
It isn’t very often I drink real ale of any kind, though I have been known to attend a beer festival or two in my time. I’m not one to shy away from beer-related events – I’m open minded like that – so off I went to a warehouse on an industrial estate in the …
Win Theatre Tickets at The Lowry
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 …
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 …
Our Pancake Day from Aldi
I’ve always made my own pancakes on Pancake Day, with varying degrees of success. I’ve bought those bottles containing the powdered mixture, just added milk and tried those. I’ve never bought ready made pancakes though until this year. I do my weekly shop at Aldi mostly and they always have special buys on depending on …
The Police Museum and Pretend Play
There is a Police Museum in Manchester that only opens on a Tuesday. It only opens until 3pm on a Tuesday too, so there’s no visiting after school. This week we’re on half term, I have the boys (I don’t always have them on a Tuesday) and we were at a loose end so we …
LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Ninja Weekend
This weekend, LEGOLAND Discovery Centre will be taken over by Ninjas! Don’t worry though, I’m sure they’re harmless. In fact, they might be ninjas you know! For the entire weekend of 7th and 8th February, all children dressed as ninjas will receive free entry when they bring a full paying adult with them. If you’re …
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 …
#BEDA Day Thirteen: Where I Live
I live in a town called Radcliffe, in Manchester. I can often be heard complaining about youths on the park behind the house or boy racers zooming up and down the street but when I think about it, I’m in quite a good place really. For every negative I can find a positive. For example; I …
Festwich: The Free Music Festival!
If there’s one event we clear our diaries for each summer it’s this. Festwich is a family orientated rock and indie music festival held in Prestwich, Manchester. In it’s third year now, the festival is bigger and better year on year and we’ve loved being at each one. Running from lunch time until late evening, …
