I have been a bit broken of late. That must be one of the reasons that I have committed myself to a month-long challenge laid down by Tots100. Because I would like to stress that this really isn't my thing. Evidence that I have never used a website like Swagbucks was apparent when I inadvertently spammed everyone on my twitter contact list whilst setting up the account. To say that this is not a good sign would be an understatement. Which … [Read more...]
#healing4Kerry
Kerry from Multiple Mummy is not someone I have met. But I have seen a room of women rise to their feet- sobbing in most cases- to applaud her husband. He collected two awards in her name in September at the MAD Awards, not long after she suffered a Brain Hemorrhage. Sadly she is still in a critical condition. So tonight at 10pm, the blogging community will be downing tools- in some cases picking up chocolate- to send all the positive … [Read more...]
{Review} Morphy Richards breadmaker
As a member of the Morphy Richards Innovators team, I recently took delivery of a bread maker. Less than two hours later, I produced my first loaf of bread.

Pretty Paper Angel Garland
We have been reading Milly-Molly-Mandy- Granny's favourite stories- at bedtime of late. In one tale, 'Teacher' comes to stay at Milly-Molly-Mandy's home and astounds the child by making 'little sailor girls'. I remember making the same thing from newspaper as a child. My Girls were interested to know what these little sailor girls were, so I showed them how you make a string of 'little girls' by concertina-ing a length of paper, and cutting … [Read more...]
Corned Beef Hash Patties
When I asked most of my friends what I should make with corned beef, the response was unanimous: Corned Beef Hash. It's a meal I remember well from childhood, smothered in ketchup and with a side-helping of nostalgia that comes with being far from home. I have never made Corned Beef Hash, to my knowledge. But those memories are clear in my head. So when Princes encouraged me to try Corned Beef, I donned my apron and started … [Read more...]
366 week 46
I am not doing very well at the moment. My week has been bumbling along at the same frenetic pace as usual though. Which may be a good thing. The camera has stayed firmly in it's bag though, as it did last week, and I have been wholly dependent on Instagram. Sunday: Dreadful weather and a working husband chased The Girls and I to the soft play centre where, for the first time ever, I stayed in my shoes. They played happily together, … [Read more...]
