Nothing too exciting on the menu for this week but you can tell that the weather's getting colder because the slow cooker is working overtime this week as five out of our seven dinners will be cooked using it!Last week I took part in bit of a trial of the new Tesco Brand Guarantee which is the initiative that gives you money off your shopping there and then if you could have bought your shop cheaper elsewhere. The Tesco Brand Guarantee will ensure that you never have to pay more for your weekly shop by price matching your branded shop against the price you would pay in Asda, Morrisons and … [Read more...]
Days Out: Richmond Castle….
We've had a lovely day at Richmond Castle today and even though the sun didn't make an appearance we still had a brilliant afternoon.At this point I should probably tell you about the history of this 900 (I think) year old castle but to be honest I didn't read a single sign as I was too busy exploring the many little tunnels and staircases around the castle ruins and snapping the usual pictures of the kids climbing everywhere they possibly could.There were no special events going on and there were hardly any other people there as you can see from the photo above which we took from a … [Read more...]
Please, please, please ALWAYS slice grapes before giving them to young children….
This isn't the post that I had planned for today but something happened last night that made me hug my children a bit harder before bed and has had me feeling sad all day today so this is my attempt to try and help stop it from happening again.Last night, at 7pm, a little boy's life support machine was switched off in a town very close to where I live. He'd been in hospital since last Friday when a family meal out to Pizza Hut ended in tragedy as he choked on a grape.I don't know the exact details but what I do know is that it's a terrible story that's touched so many people locally. … [Read more...]
Ten feelings that money can’t buy….
I often think of ideas for posts at random times and I have various different ways to record the ideas to make sure I don't forget them - I always have a notebook in my bag in case I want to go oldstyle (or if the battery's dead on my phone), I write ideas in the notes section of my phone or if I'm near to my laptop then I save a draft post in my blog with just the title of the post I want to write. In an ideal world, I'd have time to then go back and actually write all of the posts that are sitting there but it doesn't always happen! This post is a prime example as I started writing it … [Read more...]
10 clever ways to save money as a pet owner….
I can't remember what out house was like before we got our dog but I can tell you that our beautiful Bichon Frise Buddy has completed our family perfectly and we can't imagine not having him now.He's quite a high maintenance little pooch if I'm honest but we knew that before we got him because we researched the best breed for our family extensively. The thing that sold me on him was the fact that he wouldn't shed his hair everywhere (it had nothing to do with that cute face, honest!) and the fact that, as a breed, they're known to be a very friendly and playful dog.Before we got him, … [Read more...]
