Review - Chad Valley Sand Pit

Last week i was lucky enough to purchase a chad valley sand pit from Argos on sale £14.99 previously £24.99. On collection it was compact, flat packed and very light. When i opened the box the light wood actually appears to be of very good quality and is well stained, it was easy to put together and was very impressed that it came with a cover to protect from any animals going in it on a night. The 4 triangles in each corner act as seats, although they are small they are perfect for my 18 month old babies and even my nearly 6 year old niece had a good go at fitting on them. I have had lots of compliments on how lovely it looks, and my girls love it. Would highly recommend for days in the garden during the summer holidays, kept my little ones entertained for hours and that not always easy!Plus even one of our bunnies wanted in on the action :)

Slimming world!!

Okay..last Thursday me and my sister joined slimming world in a bid to loose a shed load of weight before i get married next year. Already by day 4 i feel like i've actually lost weight and saw my sister yesterday and along with some new clothing she looks like she has lost stones already!! So, so far so good, in a bid to save my syns and still eat the foods i still like have made so far a rice quiche, a cheesecake and far too many sugar free jellies to tie me over.The aim for the next 4 weeks is to loose a stone in weight and to gain a bronze exercise award,seems achievable!!Let just hope everything pays off on the scales on Thursday would love a big weight loss on the first week to motivate me even further!

Scarborough Sea Life Centre

We recently paid a visit to Scarborough Sea Life centre, we had some half price vouchers so was just over £18 for entry for me and my partner, as the girls are now 18months so they got free. Initially was very busy and with a double buggy very hard to get anywhere! thankfully the staff were able to offer us to store the buggy so we could just leisurely go round with the girls walking. The girls absolutely loved it shouting 'fishes. fishes' at every tank, even though very young were still able to have a feel of some starfish and crabs, the staff were fab with them, gave them a sticker each and did some colouring. The displays all looked very well looked after, and whilst there isnt the diversity you get of displays at places like the Deep in Hull, you do get the added extras of the seals,otters,penguins etc which was lovely for them to see. Once we had been round we went to a smallish soft play area again very nice and seemed to be hid away in the cafe so was fairly quiet. We were there prob 1 and 1/2 so for £18 did seem a little steep, especially that was the half price!Although the girls loved it soo much would not hesitate to take them again (with discount tickets). The trip did lead to use purchasing pet fish as well as the girls loved them, so we sourced a fish tank from freecycle and now in the process of stocking it up as we only have 4 fish.

Cbeebies

We decided  to make a card to try and get it to be shown on cbeebies,well worth the effort, you need to send them in for 4 weeks before the birthday so they have time to film but was fab, and i managed to get the video of it from iplayer and save to a dvd so when they are older will be able to see it :)

Girls First Birthday

The girls first birthday...parties, cakes, presents, cbeebies and a very tired mummy and daddy! The girls have a magical princess birthday opted for 3 birthday cakes.
