New Competition – Win one of FIVE English Heritage Annual Family passes!

A number of years ago when the boys were very small we decided to invest in lifetime membership of English Heritage. Nothing pleases us more than scrambling around old castles, playing a far-too-competitive game of ‘block’, exploring Abbeys and working out what each ‘room’ might have been used for. I’ll never forget 9yr old Jolly’s wide-eyed look of amazement when he suddenly understood, just from...

New Competition! Win a £100 Microsoft keyboard and mouse #TypingMatters

Can you touch type? No, me either. I actually consider myself a pretty fast typist; but last year when I lopped the top off my finger off with a  lawnmower (don’t ask) I realised that the injury wasn’t slowing down my typing. In fact, when I examined how I typed, I realised that I pretty much use just three fingers – forefinger on the left hand, first two fingers of the right hand. When I was reading about this...

It’s the LittleStuff #GoProAdventures Show. Careful. This camera may change your life.

A few weeks ago we were invited by GoPro to take part in a blogger’s challenge. Five families were invited; all working to complete a set of ten challenges using their new GoPro kit. And the winner? Oh, they get to go to the GoPro Mountain Games in Colorado next summer… *squeak* We’re a pretty outdoors kind of family anyway; we spend as much time as we possibly can clambering up far-too-high hills and mountains to...

New competition: WIN £500 trip to Edinburgh – OR the cash!

Edinburgh – it’s a city I always mean to visit.Every year the Edinburgh festival happens, and we swear that next year will be the year. This year we even made it it to Scotland… but spent a fabulous few weeks all the way up the top and over the other side, and didn’t get a sniff of the sights of the city. So I was SO excited when Premier Inn got in touch to let us know about a competition they’re running...
