A montage of tongue and cheek images coordinated to the lyrics of such tunes playing on the screen. Complimentary glitter is offered to everyone in the audience and applied. Enter RuPaul, of course, who is our … Continue reading Prom Kween Review
Soft play and farm parks. We are over. Recently I’ve realised that I have perhaps overloaded and in turn, reached my full capacity of enthusiasm towards children’s park, soft plays, farm parks or any other child orientated activity. Hectic and over-priced places that if we are all honest for the average adult are not that fun. After 5 years I’m well over it. But guess … Continue reading Soft play and farm parks. We are done.

I found a Groupon deal at the Hilton in Bristol for ‘Afternoon tea for two and ‘health club access’ When I think Hilton I think posh hotel. I wouldn’t call it … Continue reading Groupon Ladies Day Disaster
It’s that time of year again. When we get to do a lot of driving around the country visiting people. Which I actually love and look forward to as I get loads of help and that is like a holiday to me! After our recent road trip to the south of France with a 2 and 4-year-old, I feel (nearly) fully confident that we will … Continue reading Christmas travel with kids. Some tips and lifesavers
