I missed the launch party for a new vegetarian range at Tesco a few weeks ago but have seen many, many good things on social media about it since. Tesco’s new Vegetarian Kitchen is made up from a selection of ready meals and items like mushroom burgers or cheese and leek sausages (which are just up my street) and the social media world has been alight with positive reports! I was asked if I’d like to try some of the […]
That’s right, the sun is out and the parks near us are fit to bursting with happy faces; it couldn’t be a better week to be deemed ‘National Picnic Week’! We are regular picnic fans even when it’s not a dedicated special week so of course, we have got well and truly stuck into picnic mode now that it is! In order to celebrate we took a picnic to our local park with a gorgeous hamper sent to us by Warburtons. […]
As a parent, you always want what’s best for your child. You want them to have the best school and the right teachers to guide them as well. This is also true when it comes to helping your teen learn to drive. For some teens driving comes naturally and for others it takes longer to grasp the skills required. But, whether they have a natural flair for getting behind the wheel or not, they will need expert help to get […]

A couple of week’s ago I was invited with the children to come and see the new school range for Nutmeg. This is the children’s clothing line held at Morrisons and in general, one of my favourites for lots of reasons. The regular clothes are well made, inexpensive and usually extremely to my taste – they make children look like children and not like mini adults in other words! They also use really interesting materials like their jogging bottoms which […]
I often find myself sneering slightly when celebrities talk of their ‘beauty secrets’… Take this week for example, it was a big shiny female celeb’s milestone birthday and with pictures of her flashing up all over day time television alongside captions like ‘see how she stays looking so young in our feature’ and ‘Fabulous still but HOW does she do it?’ it made me groan to myself, if only they were honest when detailing her ‘beauty secrets’ they’d just give out the name […]
Last weekend we went to see In The Night Garden Live at the o2 for a fifth year in a row. This tells you, I guess, all you need to know about how we feel about the show! I mean, you certainly don’t go back five years running if you don’t love it now do you?! And love it we do! The show dome, a purpose built theatre which inflates and looks like just an extra Ha Hoo travels with the […]
I have to say that I think if I mentioned a ‘duvet day’ to my husband he would retort with ‘don’t you have one of those every day?’ It would be part in jest but I’m sure a little of him thinks I really DO spend my days lazily doing nothing much! I’ve often threatened, on those days when he asks how come the washing up isn’t done’, to down tools for a bit and let him see what happens… It […]
I love television and always have done. I simply can’t understand why some people don’t even have one; It’s like a sort of mental middle class hippyish-ness where they think they’re having ‘quality time’ with ‘real people’ instead where as far as I can see they’re just cutting their noses off to spite their faces! They could be cuddled up with ‘real people’ enjoying a giggle over the box, why ever not?! Think of all the things they’re missing out on, […]
Do you remember when you were a pre-teen and waiting for your very first period? I do and I distinctly remember being on the school bus with my friend Carla Wright who had very cheerfully started hers and was lording it over the rest of us mere ‘children’ who were still to be deigned with a visit from ‘Flo’! Little did I know back then that the actual monthly call was NOT one I would relish for long. I so wanted […]
