On Saturday we had a family day out, travelling to Chasewater Railway for a friends 40th birthday party. I was really looking forward to it as a few other mutual friends who I don’t see very often were also attending, and of course we were all looking forward to the train ride! The train wasn’t due to leave until 1.30 pm but we decided we would set off a little earlier than the time it would take us to get there, as the station is set in a country park so we would have a little walk beforehand – to make room for cake …

Review – Day out: Birmingham Nature Centre
On Saturday we visited Birmingham Nature Centre (previously known as Birmingham Zoo). The Centre houses a wide assortment of animals from around the world including lemurs, meerkats, porcupines, goats, spiders, snakes, cranes, and many many more! We visited along with a few of my online friends and their families as part of a ‘big meet’ of the forum we use.

Review – Ballpool Heaven Scunthorpe
A couple of weeks ago I came across a new business in my hometown, Ballpool Heaven Scunthorpe , and it looked so much fun! (Not sure who for though, me or the little man…) We couldn’t make the session advertised at the time, but when I saw there was another one today I jumped at the chance, anything fun to get us out of the house!

Review – Rentamascot ‘Iggle Piggle’
If you read my post about little man’s birthday party, you will know Iggle Piggle made an appearance! Well actually, I persuaded hubby to don a fancy dress outfit… Well he does say “I’d do anything for my boy”! After searching & searching, I couldn’t find an adult size one to buy, anywhere, so I thought about renting one instead. I eventually came across this site, Rentamascot based in Bristol, which had the costume to hire at which I thought was a good price, for £37, considering you actually have the costume for 4 days. (I also had to pay …
Milton Mini Portable Soother Steriliser | Review
The Milton Mini portable soother steriliser is a brand new product from Milton for cleaning & sterilising on the go. Anyone who takes a dummy out & about will know how frustrating it is when the dummy is spat or pulled out, but you can’t give it back because it’s been on the floor, so you end up having more than one with you. Now there is no need to take more than one dummy.
