Lego Duplo Experts Review – Cars 2 Range

by Ellie on August 31, 2011

When the postman knocked on our door with a huge unexpected parcel, we had no idea what was inside. From its gargantuan size, we knew it promised to be something good! The four year old eagerly peeled open the paper, then had what I can only describe as a ‘Christmas morning moment’, when he realised [...]

Before I begin this sorry tale I feel I must let you know that this was not a ‘blogger trip’, this is not a sponsored post – this is our experience of a bought and paid for stay at The Drayton Manor Hotel. A special trip, that became especially memorable, but for all the wrong [...]

I’m not the gambling kind. Aside from the lottery and a single trip to a bingo hall for a friends hen night, gambling just isn’t something that floats my proverbial boat. The one time I decided to put a bet on the Grand National, the race was cancelled! I kid you not. We’ve all seen the [...]

With that long awaited summer holiday just around the corner, I’m betting that just like me *cough* you’re probably in a sudden fit of panic wondering how on earth you’re going to fit your derriere into that new designer bikini? Fear not! There is a way! And I may have just the little bit of [...]

There’s nothing nicer than arriving home after a long day at work to find flowers as gorgeous and wonderfully scented as these beauties from Interflora sitting on your windowsill!

I’m partial to the odd lengthy stroll or two…. Anyone who’s ever set off on an hike of any kind knows that the right equipment is absolutely essential. When you’re carrying everything you need on your back, your rucksack has to be sturdy but lightweight, and big enough to fit in the essentials without being [...]

We’re big Lego Duplo fans round these parts, so being Lego Duplo Experts obviously has its benefits! And, when I say ‘we’ I don’t just mean the children, the husband is pretty smitten too! A few days ago the postman knocked with a parcel that I knew would go down a storm with the three [...]

I’m a sensitive flower *cough*. When it comes to stepping out in the sunshine, you’re more likely to find me covered head to toe in a full body UV suit than topping up my tan in a bikini. Being as pure white as the driven snow means the sun and I aren’t exactly easy bed [...]

It’s got to be said, my affections are pretty easily won over with good food and a bit of pampering. I’m not taking gourmet meals and spa days (although that would be lovely), even the simplest pleasures can make my day. I’d like to send out to some thank yous to a few companies who’ve [...]
