Book giveaways – a round up post.
I love book giveaways, and so many on book blogs get very low entries. I’m probably shooting myself in the foot doing this, but I thought I’d try a roundup to get a few more ppl entering. Do let me know if it’s useful (which would encourage me to keep doing it), and let the…
Not superwoman after all.
This afternoon I sobbed into the washing up. Not over blogging, lists, awards or anything online before anyone asked. I was dripping into the bowl of plates as I felt like a failure – we are likely to run out of milk before morning. Yes, I was crying over unspilt milk. Pathetic, eh? No, not…

Today Matthew, I will be a Butlins Ambassador!
Way back last year at Cybermummy I applied to be a Butlins Ambassador. I was really surprised to be chosen though! And it’s taken til now for me to get organised enough to actually go on one of our breaks but this weekend I’m taking the children to the Ocean Hotel at Bognor Regis while…
Zumba fitness 2 for Wii – review and giveaway
You may remember me reviewing Zumba Fitness for Wii a while back, when I was working on being fit and svelte. These are not words that describe me now. Blimp describes me now, sadly, 6 months pregnant is not my best look. I tried to keep up with the exercise for a while, and did…
In praise of McDonalds
On Wednesday we had to get out of the house for the day as dp and his brother were dismantling the heating system in order to fit the radiators that have been decoratively leaning against walls for 9 months or so. Decorative is good of course, but not quite so good as the external temperature…
Pregnancy products: Bravado bras and Sea Bands for Nausea – review and giveaway.
Moments after the news of my pregnancy came out, or so it seemed, I was contacted by a couple of PRs offering related products for review and giveaway. The first were the lovely ladies at BumpPR, offering a Bravado bra for review. Now, I’ve heard a lot about Bravado in the past, but never actually…
It's that time of year
when a lot of us feel out of step with the blogging world again. I’m not alone in feeling that I’m a little out of step. It’s ranking week (when the new Wikio and tots100 lists are out) – and ppl feel left out or elated or swept up or left out, and no matter…
A nintendo wii, a media centre and a parenting fail.
I know it’s hard to believe, but until very recently the only games console we had in this house was Big’s handheld, a nintendo dslite, bought for her by a whole bunch of friends for her birthday. Then last week we gave Small a dsi for his birthday, mainly so that he would have it…
Could you live on a pound a day for food?
For five days. Could you do it for just five days? I’m not sure we could. There are five of us, so if I look at ??5 for a day for the family it does make it easier. Today while I was shopping, just top up food, I paid careful attention to prices. 5 apples…
