A dramatic child’s bedroom makeover in a day – the Dulux Bedroom In A Box Marvel Avengers. It’s officially Awesome.
Well, that was the challenge from Dulux, using their Bedroom In A Box Marvel Avengers. No.3 son has been living in our spare room for four years now. The only modifications we did to make it ‘his’ were a few space stickers and some pictures on the wall: it really was time that he had his own look. When Dulux promised we could do it in one day, we were sceptical… but thought it would be worth a try. The day...
My husband is much less of a man than he used to be. Literally.
When you’ve been married for twenty years, it’s rather easy to become… comfortable. You get older, your responsibilities increase with the number of mouths you’re trying to feed, the economy dips and making ends meet gets harder… thank goodness the one thing you’re not worrying about is your relationship.

It’s Sunday night, so here we are again, desperately trying to upload the finished ‘Lunch Less Ordinary’ challenge, NO.1 son having given up his Sunday evening to editing it. Again. We have been LOVING these challenges – the children took on the competition with enthusiasm, and every week have amazed us with their skill and geniosity. This week was different however. This week they felt they had to really pull...
Mission Deli Wrap’s ‘A Lunch Less Ordinary’ – Challenge #2 Write a Wrap Rap.
We were absolutely thrilled to have won last week’s Lunch Less Ordinary challenge with our den building (and please note, I seriously under-sold No.1’s contribution with the video editing – he spent ages creating the fabulous finished video from our dodgy den-building technique. He told me that one passing mention of his efforts did not cut it. At some – justifiably – indignant length), and naturally the...
