We've just got back from a last minute weekend cheap weekend away and although we had an amazing time, there was no Wi-Fi and practically no signal anywhere in the whole area which meant a long weekend with almost no internet access. I’d love to be able to say that life without the internet was all good and that I didn’t miss it at all but I’d be lying!As a blogger, I really missed not being able to check in on here and make sure everything was ticking over and I obviously missed being able to check in on Facebook and share my photos with you all on Instagram but they weren’t the main … [Read more...]
Is it just me or has Christmas started even earlier than usual this year….
Almost before Halloween was over, the Christmas goodies started appearing on the shelves and the flood of Christmas adverts started as soon as we turned over the page on the calendar from October to November.Even the Christmas Costa cups are out and as cute as they are, I'd much rather they weren't brought out until the start of December.Don't get me wrong, I'm all about being prepared for Christmas and my own preparations start long before November the 1st but that's not the point. We don't start any Christmas celebrations or do any Christmas family activities until the 1st … [Read more...]

I tried to talk them round but … [Read more...]
Has THAT ad really ruined Christmas….
Yesterday morning I got a message from one of my friends to ask if I'd seen what was going on over at the Paypal Facebook page. I hadn't but seeing as I'm nosey and don't like to miss out of drama I obviously headed over there immediately to find out what was going on.What I found there was a lot of outraged and upset parents saying that Paypal had ruined Christmas, broken the hearts of children and basically made sure that this year's Christmas isn't magical.And just how had they done this? With a TV advert that showed parents buying presents for their children.If you haven't seen … [Read more...]
