Let’s talk about sex, baby… (and win a luxury hotel break for two…)

I’ve been married for rather  a long time now. I got married in *cough*  1992 – waaaay back when I was just a mere child of 18. Yet somehow, here we are about to hit our 23 year anniversary (and 25 years together!), and are still sickeningly content together; clearly we’re getting something right along the way. When we were planning our wedding, we had to go and chat to the minister of our church. He told us...

Limited offer – NOWTV free for two months. Expires SUNDAY!

Looking for a special offer to get NOWTV free for two months? You’re in the right place – read on! It’s amazing how our TV watching habits have changed in a few short years, isn’t it?

Lego Dimensions game is coming… *excited face*

I’m sure you’ve guessed by now, but there was no way lego were going to miss out on the new genre of ‘toys to life’ games started with Skylanders (and joined rapidly by Disney with their Infinity game, and Nintendo’s Amiibo). Actually I love the concept – the joining of a physical toy interactively into a pretty traditional video game is a genius one – blurring the lines between the two....

When nostalgia comes knocking…

Watching my No.1 son tower over me (which is no mean feat when your Mum stands almost 6′ in her socks), I can’t help but heave a sigh of nostalgia. I know we all say it, but how does it happen? How is it that you turn around twice, and that small blonde giggling boy who’s got “Lotsa Jobs Ter Do, Mummy” is now 6’1″, tripping over his size 12 feet, and terrifying you in the night when he looms...

Win a gorgeous set of Children’s Atlases #SpringIntoLearning

We’re genuinely excited to be working with Collins in a brilliant campaign this Spring. As any parent knows, this time of year is marked by a Series of Unfortunate Events – some by the name of SATS, 11+, Mocks, GCSE’s and A Levels, others simply end of year exams. But it’s not just about children cramming for exams – we ALL love to stretch our brain by learning new skills and trying new things. When learning is doing what you want to...
