After the events of Saturday rendered us car-less we had to rethink our plans for the Bank Holiday weekend. After consultation with LBG, we elected to go swimming en famille on Sunday. First hurdle- local swimming baths (do people still call them that?) were closed so we rode the bus to Beckenham where- wouldn't you know it- the queues were twice as long because of the aforementioned closure. So we missed the baby pool slot and had to go in the … [Read more...]
Pet Shop Bowl review
It's not a pet. Or a bowl. But it is a shop. An online shop selling, amongst other things, bowls for your pet. Petshopbowl.co.uk got in touch with Wonder Hound, via me of course, to ask if we'd care to review their delivery services. Bearing in mind that the Wonder Hound is the under dog in this household, and it's been a trying few weeks for her, having to cope with all the build work- the men, the lack of easy garden access, the doorbell going … [Read more...]

Would you beg mercilessly? Would you text me every day? The … [Read more...]
Cybher 2012: meet, greet and what I may be wearing
I'm going to be spending Saturday without children. In London. With a whole bunch of people that I've never met before. I was hoping to float in under the radar, sit on the sidelines and vanish. Turns out I picked the wrong conference. Whilst Blogcamp London- which I went to last year- was wonderfully comforting with it's cake and converse, it would appear that Cybher is going all-out in the fashion stakes. And I do not go all-out in the fashion … [Read more...]
Around The World In 12 Dishes: Russia
In continuing our Russian Adventure this month, and after the success of our Russian Icons, The Girls and I have been looking at Russian Dolls. Dimples received a set from her Godparents for Christmas, and I then found a very simple Matryoska Doll jigsaw puzzle at Tiger a couple of weeks ago. Both have proved a great hit. … [Read more...]
