Christmas has officially started in our house.It actually started a week last Saturday when the Coca Cola advert was on during one of the ad breaks in X Factor - my Twitter and Facebook streams went mad for a little while after the advert had been on because everyone knows that the Coca Cola advert heralds the start of the festive season*.If I get this excited about an advert of a truck, can you imagine how excited I was to find out that that the real truck was going to be quite close to where we live on it's tour of the UK?Our adventure started like this:What my friend … [Read more...]
How much do you spend on your children at Christmas….
It's November tomorrow so I feel justified in asking you all just how much you spend on your children for Christmas. After all, the big day is only 54 days away.How much do you hate me for reminding you of that right now?I've been gradually doing my Christmas shopping for months now and I've managed to get a LOT for what I've actually spent.

Nutella Mousse – Perfect for Christmas (or any other time)….
You really can't go wrong with a pudding made from just three ingredients can you? Especially when one of the three ingredients is Nutella....Nutella Mousse 170g Greek yoghurt or fromage frais 250g Nutella 1 Milky Bar (or something else to top the mousse with to make it look pretty)Whisk the Nutella and the Yoghurt together and pour into a serving dish.
