Keto diet week 3 plus meal ideas
I’m a little behind on my diet updates. This week was a harder one – too much nice stuff around, so I did have nibbles on the lemon pudding I made for Sunday pudding (delicious as always, but it tasted…
Keto diet week 2 and how it’s going
Two weeks into my ‘aiming for’ keto diet, lunches are proving a little boring. When the weather’s cold, I want stodge and hot food not cold salads, but we’re limited on reheating in the microwaves. It means I’m eating a…
Get children playing tennis – discover the basics and journey

The new bed, and bed buying tips for tweens
I’ve been saying for years that N needed a new bed. As soon as he grew out of the cotbed really. He just inherited the bed that was originally in his room, and that was the old bed that had…
