I also share my home with my husband and Barney, my lovable Frenchie x Beagle.

Approved Food review

Hands up who doesn’t like saving money on their weekly, or monthly shopping bill? Nope, I can’t see a very big show of hands… I’m always on the lookout for a bargain and when I haven’t got the kids with me, I spend more time than I should browsing the shops looking for offers and great deals.

Updated on

You know, when you haven’t eaten all night, and you’re just so looking forward to getting that first piece of food in your mouth! Being a Slimming World target member I can still enjoy a whole array of breakfasts; cereal, fruit, yogurt, toast, pancakes, bacon butties, “fry” ups.

Who has been watching Great British Bake Off this year, now it’s moved channels? I think I was always going to continue watching it; obviously it was going to be different due to the new panel, but I’m glad they kept the same format. I still love it just as much!
