A Sizzling Summer On The Mini Sainsbury’s Catwalk!

Posted in Uncategorized

My Mum literally cannot go to Sainsbury’s without buying some clothes for the children. It seems to be her weakness and when they have their special 25% off promotions she buys even more! I think we’ve just always found the clothes to be of excellent quality and because they wash really well, last a long time and don’t break the bank at the same time as being really rather lovely, it kind of means she always knows what she buys […]

The Pajama Game!

Posted in Uncategorized

The Shaftesbury Theatre London has said goodbye to the fabulous ‘From Here To Eternity’ (it ended all too soon for my liking) and moved on with a little fun  interlude (on a short run) with ‘The Pajama Game‘! I was invited to come and see it last week and had a splendid evening with a friend checking out the show which is set to run until only 13th September with its strictly limited season! I was super excited because it […]

Top UK Farm Breaks

Posted in Uncategorized

For those with a love of animals, waking up on a farm or at a zoo could possibly be one of the most amazing experiences they’re ever likely to have. There are plenty of zoos and farms around the UK now that allow you to stay over for a night or two, just remember to pack suitable clothing as in some cases you can get hands on with the animals during your stay! Mens’ and womens’ jeans, (you’ll find great […]

Tom And Jerry!

Posted in Uncategorized

Tom and Jerry, remember them? They were one of my faves when I was little and now they’re back! Saturday mornings on Boomerang (Sky channels 603 and 618 / Virgin Channels 730 and 731) see the two back on our screens with all the same madcap capers I remember when I was little! Tom and Jerry are back! They have changed a bit, Tom’s owner is different and I think they are slightly more PC than they used to be […]

QVC Autumn/Winter 2014!

Posted in Uncategorized

When I had just had Florence I remember hardly ever sleeping! It was tough but I found ways to get through it and I loved my night time feeding viewing on the television! I only used to watch the ‘Sex and the City’ box sets, the film ‘Jack and Sarah’ (over and over for some reason) and good old QVC! And now, whenever I have a friend about to have a first baby I give them my best television advice for […]

Practising Smiling With Tiny Love!

Posted in Uncategorized

I love Tiny Love products. All you have to do is take a look back on my blog to see it was the make of choice for me when my two were tiny; the way they make things is just a little bit different and just a little bit special you see. When Florence was a few weeks old she had a modelling job and in the green room that day was a Tiny Love play gym. She had one at […]

G Nappies – They’re Not For Us!

Posted in Uncategorized

Asked would I like to review some cloth nappies, after telling everyone for as long as I can remember that I would NEVER use them, my initial response was no thank you. I have never liked the idea of them and ever since watching a friend bag one up, poo included, and pop it into her handbag for later, I was thoroughly convinced they were not for me. People say they flick the poo before they take the nappy home […]

Super Loops Bracelet Making!

Posted in Uncategorized

We were shopping recently and saw a toy shop demonstrator making elastic band bracelets with a sort of loom. Florence was fascinated and eager to give it a try. The lady kindly sat down and showed Florence how to do it despite her not really being anywhere near the recommended age and I thought after a few minutes she would realise she was a little young and give up. As it happens it turns out she is actually more than […]

Train Driver!

Posted in Uncategorized

We joke in our house that a day out for Jimmy doesn’t really need to be much more than a ride on the tube. It’s almost true really as he loves the experience and enjoys going in and out of the tunnels. I think it’s a boy thing?! When it comes to the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) even Florence could spend all day going round and round on it. Heck, why not! It’s awesome and I love it too! It’s […]

Roast Tarragon Chicken For Dummies!

Posted in Uncategorized

Mastering the art of the roast dinner was something I didn’t find particularly easy. All the pots and pans and getting the timings right! I sometimes still do get it wrong when doing roast potatoes and parsips, the full shebang with all the trimmings! With my tiny oven there is usually something that ends up going cold and when you think about ALL that work followed by very little eating time to be concluded with masses of washing up, I […]
