Now there’s a question. It did come up in conversation. You know the type. You’re standing at the sink peeling spuds, and out comes a voice from behind you demanding to know the difference between God and Santa. Turning round, with three pairs of eyes looking at you, you instantly become conscious that the voice [...]

Review: Notcutts Indoor and Outdoor Christmas Lights
Notcutts sent me a lovely box of 200 indoor and outdoor lights to use for our tree. We have some lights, but the boys were determined to put them on the tree as they have several flashing functions on them. We put the tree up last night, and the kids are highly delighted with it, [...]

Dons Day Out from AFC – Aberdeen – Not Impressed
I remember a few years ago when my eldest went to the Aberdeen Football Club Dons Day out back then. They got special treatment, a few players came out and the kids got a group photograph, with a few players in the front. Maybe that was the players in a slightly better place and the [...]

Warner Bros. Halloween Box for 2012, including Ultraviolet
Alas, our Halloween box for 2012 was a little late, so I couldn’t do a lovely thank you on the 31st October to Warner Bros. It didn’t matter for the kids as they were still highly delighted with the box of goodies. I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it that kids never [...]

The Gallery – Frightfully Over
I’m actually quite sad that my kids are not really wanting to do much of the Halloween type things this year. I can probably safely say that they won’t go Trick or Treating – or Guising as we call it up here for too much longer. Yes, eldest and littler might go their own ways, [...]

The Gallery – Books
I thought I’d join in the Gallery Blog Link Up this week. It’s been a long week and a half off school with the kids, and they’re going a bit stir crazy as they’re grounded. One thing that can always help to diffuse things with the special needs middler is to sit and read a [...]

Country Kids & The New Allotment
For Country Kids this week, I thought a picture of the fledgling family allotment would be a good idea. The man’s friend has had an allotment for a while, and the one next to his became available. It’s not much money a year, so he decided to take the plunge and take on the overgrown [...]

Chocolate is GOOD FOR YOU
Unwrapping a lovely gift for my birthday, I eagerly opened the layers while anticipating a nice box of perfume or a little trinket. Three faces beaming with delight stood in front of me, and I kept the smile frozen on my face as the last layer came adrift, to the sight of my favourite [...]
