This week I have mostly been working really rather hard. I often work hard but this week was intense. I was launching a famous US brand to the UK (you can see what it was here) and it involved staying over in London for 3 nights, finishing at about midnight most nights and up and [...]
Competition: Galt Arts and Crafts goodies
September 14, 2012 By 7 Comments
I have a love hate relationship with arts and crafts where my children are concerned. I love it because they do and it’s fantastic for their creativity, their imagination and it’s just lots of fun really isn’t it? But I do have an on going issue with glitter, and I’m not massively keen on paint. [...]

I can’t think of the last time I did a competition or a giveaway or anything remotely nice like that on this blog. But recently a nice chap got in touch with me about a book called “How to Con Your Kid”by David Borgenicht and James Grace asking if I’d like to read it. It [...]

My little girls are really starting to get on. It’s absolutely gorgeous to watch. Tilly idolises her big sister and Eliza, although only 18 months older is definitely the older, wiser one. She’s really helpful sometimes too. Like today I took them to the farm and I knew that Tilly would go wherever Eliza went [...]

First of all I have to say having read Northmummy’s post this morning I had an attack of Comment Guilt. Not content with all the other guilt in my life (working mum guilt, rubbish wife guilt, crap daughter guilt, lousy sister guilt, absent friend guilt) I now have Coment Guilt to add. You see I [...]
The Greatest Holiday in the World
June 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment
*Sponsored Post* I can’t quite believe this competition I’ve been told about. It’s so incredibly SIMPLE it’s got to be worth entering. It will take you approximately 5 minutes to do so, but could get you 365 nights of hotel rooms. It’s The Greatest Holiday in the World by Radisson Blu and simply by entering before 24 July 2010 you could [...]
