Morphy Richards Sear and Stew – Smoky sausage casserole recipe
My OH would say I don’t need a slow cooker. We have an Aga, so in his eyes, there’s no need for a slow cooker. Which is true to an extent, but there’s a lot of stages in using an…

Pub Club – eating out at The Three Pigeons Banbury
I’m a fussy person when it comes to eating out. I begrudge the person who decided to make lots of pub food posh and get away from the traditional meals many of which I would eat. Plus of course making…
Discovering spaces and planes with Shine-a-light books – giveaway

Generally I’m quite relaxed about medical treatment for bumps and bruises. We get a lot of bruises. I think it’s genetic (plus I’m on warfarin so bruise more easily now), because as a child my mum always worried about all…
Boys swimwear from House of Fraser
Swimwear’s a bit of an unknown for me with N. When he was at Water Babies, it was easy. A happy nappy plus then a rash vest because I didn’t want him shivering, plus it was easier to grab him…
