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...

Netflix Stream Team – Musicals For A Wet Summer Holiday

Looking out the window it’s hard to believe it’s the ‘summer’ holidays, isn’t it? Facing a very wet bank holiday, our plans are feeling a  lot more autumnal than i had originally expected – instead of a picnic and some stargazing, we’ll be curling up in front of a film or two with some TV snacks and a couple of rugs. Time to continue the children’s education into some old musical family...

Here’s what he had to say: We’ve reviewed...

New Competition – win £300 with Wren Living to spend on bedroom furniture

I love to sleep. I just want to get that out there right now. Sleeping and napping are never ‘a waste of time’. If done as a proactive choice they are immensely rewarding and deliciously enjoyable. I also happen to be a rather skilled napper – renowned for my ability to ‘sleep on a washing line’. No, it’s true. Before I started my thyroid medication I could actually nod off whilst waiting at traffic...

New Competition – Win £100 of School Uniform with BHS!

Oh I love love love the summer! Long lazy days with no timetable; days starting with no alarm clock (except for exciting happenings which you never mind leaping out of bed for) blurping at ungodly-o’clock, and ending with bedtime far later than it ought to be, just because sometimes there’s just more important stuff to enjoy. Sadly, though, there’s that panicky part of the back of your brain that knows it’s all...
