I'll start by saying that I'm really not that big a fan of Doctor Who. I just don't see what the fuss is all about if I'm honest but the rest of my family are huge Doctor Who fans so I tolerate it for them. Just.So you can imagine my disappointment when we went to Liverpool last week and a poster we saw on the train advertising some sort of Doctor Who exhibit at Spaceport put paid to my plans of wandering round the shops and Albert Dock. Instead I ended up ferrying across the Mersey on a very cold windy day to get to this place so we could look at Daleks and Cyberman. Whoo Hoo.Like … [Read more...]
80 ideas for your bored jar….
Do you have a Bored Jar?I've seen a few posts lately (like this one from Jen) about people making 'I'm bored' jars filled with ideas that are randomly chosen whenever anyone mentions the dreaded bored word and a quick search on Pinterest tells me that the makeshift jam jar filled with bits of folded paper is woefully inadequate* - just have a look at this little lot.(*only joking, it's the ideas that count not the presentation although there are some works of art on there aren't there?)We decided to update our I'm bored jar and make our own version using coloured lolly … [Read more...]
20 of our favourite websites for children….
As much as I love to encourage the kids to play outside wherever possible and to do other none computer related things when we're in the house, I have to accept that they're going to want to play on the internet!For the most part, I'm happy for them to use the internet - Miss Frugal is required to use it every week to research her homework anyway and I genuinely believe that the right amount of time on the internet is good for them, as long as you make sure that you know exactly what they're doing online.We use a mix of educational sites and fun sites and I do limit the amount of time … [Read more...]
Happy Birthday to us….
I know you all know and you're just not letting on that you know.In a minute I'm going to go on Twitter and you're all going to tweet me at once and say 'Surprise' and 'Happy Bloggaversary' because obviously you all know that today marks four years since I started blogging!Seriously though, I can't believe that I've been blogging for four whole years - the time has just flown by and I've loved every minute (well most of them anyway). made some brilliant friends.As a family blogging had given us some amazing experiences and for me personally, blogging has given me more confidence … [Read more...]
We’re ba-ack – here’s what we thought of Pontins Southport….
This started off as a post that was going to be about what we'd been up to this week but turned into a bit of a review about where we stayed so I thought I should make it clear that is not a paid for review or anything like that. We paid for the accommodation ourselves - £139 for all of us for a full week)We're back from our week away and I'm so tired that I feel like I need another week to get over it!We've had a brilliant week although I'm not sure that I'm in two minds as to whether I'd recommend Pontins or not. It was great fun and a brilliant price for a last minute week away if … [Read more...]
Sports Day – Holiday Style….
We missed Sports Day this year as we're away on a last minute holiday so we decided to have our own Sports Day....Much better than the egg and spoon race and the sack race I think you'll agree! Next up is the who can eat the most ice cream competition which I'm pretty sure I'm the favourite to win.... … [Read more...]
