Huge Poster Printing – Bargainous!
With the way we’re all using our digital cameras these days, it’s not surprising that we all have a hard drive rammed full of beautiful photographs that we love. But how many do we actually get printed and put on our walls? It was an easy matter in the old days – all our photographs were printed, so we just popped those we liked in a frame. But it’s tougher now – we take so many it’s harder to...
Review: Legoland Discovery Manchester
We went to Legoland Discovery Centre a couple of years ago and, while we thought it was okay, we weren’t that impressed and didn’t think it was value for money at all. We’d heard, however, that some attractions had been added so we were pleased to get the chance to go back and try it again. You still enter the Legoland Discovery Centre through the shop, which I’m not wild about, but we didn’t have to...
Paypal On the Go – yes, you can!
Waaay way back many years ago, there was this new thingy for online shopping called Paypal. Amongst my techy-friends it was treated with extreme caution. Trust an unknown third party with all your financial details and all your transactions? Really? *collective shuddering* But Paypal did actually get it right – and 10 years later, we’re no longer frightened of it. Even The Guardian thinks it’s safe to use. In fact, I...
What to do with the weekend – Vouchers ahoy!
So you’re off for a night out in the smoke (okay, so from the depths of Dorset that’s not often likely, but it does happen sometimes y’know. There are trains ‘n everything round here…). But times being how they are, we’re all looking for a deal, to save a few pennies where we can yes? YES! First up was the old Where To Eat question. Well, if you’re going for a sociable night out, you...
*rant alert* My child ‘won’ a Young Writers competition and is going to be published
Today the 9yr old came out of school so full of proud he was steaming at the ears with it. As we walked to the car he couldn’t stop telling me all about it. Not ONLY had he won the school’s ‘Achievers Certificate’ for a ‘fabulous piece of descriptive writing’, but he had ALSO “won a competition with a poem I wrote a-a-a-ges ago and there is a letter in my book bag and it’s going to be in...
A legendary Land Awaits…
Having only visited Northern Ireland to see family friends, I wanted to explore the beautiful country which we’d only ever driven through before as we passed from house to house. Knowing we could get a cheap flight into Belfast, I looked at economy car hire to find us a vehicle to take us out on our journey west to explore the best that Northern Ireland has to give and there really hasn’t been a better time to...
