I have previously bought a chocolate pizza a couple of times for my husband, for birthday and Christmas, but they are brilliant to give as a gift to a chocoholic for any celebration really. Instead of buying yet another one, I decided to make one myself and it turned out really great! They are so easy to make as it just involves melting some chocolate and sticking other chocolate or sweets onto it. With no cooking required (other than the melting of the chocolate) it is something that is fab to get the children involved with too – especially for …
Foodie Penpals – September reveal
This month my foodie penpals parcel came from Tracey over at It’s not easy being greedy (how great is that blog name?!). Month after month I continue to be excited at what might be in my parcel, as although I give pretty much the same ‘requests’ every time, everybody has different ideas and come from different places so I always get something I haven’t tried yet – and often I get something I really want too!

Due to this, when I was recently invited to try Equazen eye q chews for children I thought it would be a …

I managed to do it pre-children, and I felt great for it. I am determined to reach my goal weight and stay there this time, and I don’t want to let anything get in my way. Exercising and eating healthily are two obvious ways …
101 reasons not to go on a boating holiday
I recently posted about our annual holiday, this year to The Norfolk Broads. I mentioned that I would be writing a post about why a boating holiday is not for me. I don’t think I really need to give much introduction, so here goes (in no particular order): not having a proper shower (a trickily little thing, with not enough room to swing a mouse, let alone a cat) the toilet literally being in the shower – if you want a pee, you have to get wet feet if you also want to stay clean needing a step ladder to climb onto …
