I’d love to be fluent in another language. After 7 years of French at school (at GCSE I found it easy, but A level traumatised me forever!), and a fleeting couple of years doing Spanish, my verbal language skills are…
I’m a bit of a slack crafter. I love doing crafts (cards, jewellery, crochet) but actually getting something out and thinking of it from scratch isn’t my forte. As for children’s crafts? Well, let’s just say that Weekend Boxes come…
*Ad – gifted As I’ve often said, I’m trying to build up a collection of instruments for N, and engage him to have an interest or at least understanding of different types of music. So when I had the opportunity…
As I’ve said before N loves music. Most sorts, although he’ll turn his nose up at songs he’s previously liked, and then states he likes other music he previously didn’t like. The prerogative of 3 year olds. He must take…

Note to self…never assume the OH will play ball with timings for the purpose of review! I was offered the chance to review a Shock Doctor knee support and as the OH at the time had had a dodgy knee…
I love it when we change seasons, not so much for myself (as none of my clothes fit and I’m still trying to lose weight to fit into all the clothes in my wardrobe), but for N. It’s great to…
N doesn’t really have a decorated bedroom, but I’ve always quite liked the idea of fairy lights for N’s room. So when we were offered the chance to choose a set of Blaze On lights I jumped at the chance. Blaze On…
