What a day! Last night I remembered I was meant to be somewhere important today.

I am a huge fan of all things frugal and we live as ‘green’ as possible, so an event of pure thrift is just our cup of tea (with the teabag used twice for extra enjoyment!). The festival takes place in Darlington on the 26th and 27th of September at Lingfield Point and offers visitors a …

Back in February we visited The Baby Show at London’s Excel. I was heavily pregnant and we were spotting for super bargains for our new baby. Fast forward to 3 months later and we were back visiting The Baby Show, but this time in Birmingham and with baby Ivy. We were still looking for bargains, …

It’s the morning after and I’m aching all over, my husbands wallet hurts, and so do my feet. No! I wasn’t on some crazy night out in London (A matter of years ago I may well have been) but yesterday we were rocking out at the London Baby Show. Somehow I managed to be on my …

There is a shop tucked away somewhere in the deep murky depths of Milton Keynes. A shop in a loft  to be precise, and the area of MK is Little Brickhill. The 2 year old shop is one of mystery and wonder. A celebration of freaks, death and the bizarre. The shop is Crystal Curios …

Recently we went to the Butterfly World Project in St. Albans for a family day out. The centre has lots of fun little gardens to walk around and enjoy. One garden in particular caught my eye. Named The Theatre Of Insects, and designed by Ivan Hicks, it aim is to create the most bizzare and …

Yup, you read that correctly. We met a mammoth. A real one. And we didn’t need time travel!

The plan was to have a nice day out at a local forrest centre to celebrate Willows best friend, Williams 2nd birthday. I was to bring along a scrummy picnic, we could let the kids run riot while we have a good catch up and gossip. What happened? In true British fashion, it rained. All.bloody.day. …
