Well I’ve been busy again, dreaming up new interior ideas for my kitchen makeover. What ever you do, don’t tell my husband. He’ll have a fit. I have to approach these things very gently if I’m to get the dream home I wish for. If I promise that it’ll be done in a clean and…
Hello everyone. Thanks for stopping by last week and catching up with my weight loss update. I really appreciate all the support your giving me, it’s keeping me motivated even on days when things aren’t going quite so well. It’s also lovely to read that some of you experience some of the issues I do….
Teen is enjoying his summer break so far. Chilling out with his girlfriend, playing too much Counter Strike and being my blogging assistant. OK, so he’s not enjoying the last one so much but if he wants me to keep paying for his driving lessons, a few hours a day to help his Mum isn’t too…

Welcome back to another week of Thinking Thin Thursday. This week I’m dealing with over eating, which I think holds a lot of us back from being the weight we want to be. I really hope your finding my weekly updates helpful and inspiring. I loved all the comments I received last week, and it’s…
There are some huge pizza fans in this house. It has to be by son and husbands favourite food by a mile. So obviously when Chicago Town Pizza got in touch to ask us to try out their new Deep Dish Taste Legends pizza, I knew the boys wouldn’t say no.
The Furchester Hotel Magazine has been keeping Princess out of trouble this summer. She’s showing a real interest in reading and writing at the moment, so The Furchester Hotel magazine arrived on our doorstep at just the right time. My daughter is the kind of child that needs to be busy all of the time….
You might remember that last year my bathroom had a mini makeover. I have to say it was a dramatic improvement on what it looked like before, but there is still more to be done. What I learned from that experience was that if anything is going to improve in this house, it’s down to…
Larmer Tree Festival is something I’ve really looked forward to sharing with you all. There are some posts that are just like that. I have enjoyed going back through our photos of our time at Larmer Tree Festival, and choosing the ones that sum up what a great time we all had. I missed out…
It’s all happening with Dora and Friends on Nick Jr. this summer. A little bird has told us that you can catch up with Dora and Friends Sing Along music booth at Smyths Toy Superstores and various Sky locations across the country. It promises to be a whole heap of fun for Dora fans who…
My daughter is a huge fan of Peppa Pig. She watches episodes of Peppa Pig back to back on YouTube when Daddy wants 5 minutes peace on a Saturday morning. We have personalised Peppa Pig books, that I’ve read over and over! We’ve even been to see the Peppa Pig show. I think it’s safe to…

If you are looking for a family short break, I can’t recommend Liverpool enough as a place to visit. We went there recently really not knowing what to expect, and we ended up having one of the best short breaks we’ve ever had. People go to Liverpool for lots of different reasons. We saw plenty…

If this is your first time here, Thinking Thin is a weekly therapy post where I can explore what helps me to stay…
In case you missed it, we went on a family weekend break to Liverpool recently. We had the best time, far better than we expected to have to be honest. One of the highlights was being asked to the Brewer’s Fayre VIP party at Chapel Brook. We found out they had a new play area…
