Recipes: Retro Treats – Milkshake & Cookies

31st March 201410th February 2020

A couple of weeks ago I was sent a lovely parcel from Creative Tops with some items from their Retro Treats range, a 50’s inspired range of dessert-type goodies! Think American diner and you’ll not be far off! I have been happily making good use of them since they arrived and today I am sharing… Read More

Brightonians love a Roast

13th August 201310th February 2020

  Tesco recently surveyed 2000 UK parents, and found out that Brightonians spend the most money on their weekly shop, with 41% spending more than £100 a week! They also discovered that 68% of people cook for more than thirty minutes a day during the week but these people clearly do not have new babies… Read More

Recipe: Simple Flapjack

7th July 201310th February 2020

I love flapjacks, I think it’s because my mum used to make them a fair amount when I was younger, so I know her recipe off by heart. I’d not made them in years until I decided I’d make a batch to take to hospital with me, then ate them all within a day or… Read More

In which I make Merlot Sorbet

11th February 201310th February 2020

A couple of weeks ago I was sent a bottle of Barefoot Merlot, and a recipe for sorbet which was created by the people at a lovely little cake shop in Brighton’s Lanes called Cloud 9. Obviously being pregnant I only had a little taste, and gave the rest to my Husband and our housemate… Read More

In which I make Eggnog

19th December 201110th February 2020

I’d never tried eggnog before I made it, partly because I am normally a bah humbug, and partly because I am lactose intolerant. However, I decided I wanted to try it, couldn’t find it anywhere ready made (because we’re not in America, obviously) so decided to make a little batch to see if I liked… Read More

In which I make Christmas Cookies

18th December 201110th February 2020

I used to be a BIG biscuit eater (as in i was bigger and I ate a lot of biscuits) In the last year or so I’ve managed to cut down the old biscuit intake, which was hard at first but it gets easier I tell you! (jaffa cakes and malted chocolate biscuits were my… Read More

In which I make mulled Cider

17th December 201110th February 2020

I love cider, love love love it. I love mulled cider even more, WARM SPICY version of normal favourite drink? WINNER! I must admit I cheated slightly, as I used the mulled wine sachets (schwartz). I used a pot on the hob this time, but last year I made it in the slow cooker, and… Read More

In which I bake a Pie

8th December 201110th February 2020

  My favourite meal to cook is Pie! Any kind of pie (apart from steak and kidney) will do, but my ‘come dine with me’ dish would be chicken & leek. The recipe is my own, and I probably never make it the same twice in a row, but here is how to do it!… Read More

Mid-jump Arlo waving a large stick around! He look Mid-jump Arlo waving a large stick around! He looks like he's hovering... what's the spell? Levi-OH-sa! I found it when I was moving my pictures off my phone to a hard drive, which I hadn't done for over a year 🙈 has anyone else just let general life admin slide this past year? I mean, it's not like I've been rushed off my feet with social appointments or holidays is it? I'm just lazy. 
Very much looking forward to Monday, no kids at home, Zoom plans for work without the prospect of being interrupted for snacks. JOYOUS!! Happy Friday fellow home-school parents, WE DID IT! 🙌🙌👏👏🥳🥳

The sheer joy of a sunset stroll. 🌅 One week to The sheer joy of a sunset stroll. 🌅
One week today we'll be ready to head out on the school run for the first time this year.  It'll definitely be a shock to the system. Then (if all goes well, please cross your fingers!) We should be moving 2 weeks after that. I've not even looked at  school places in the new town- I'm happy to drive them back and forth for a little while to give them some stability again. 
How are you all feeling about things being slowly lifted?

Put ya feet up! 👣 (Ad|Gifted) I put my feet up Put ya feet up! 👣
(Ad|Gifted) I put my feet up today, with a good book, a hot cuppa and some chocolate malted milk biscuits. With so much going on right now (homeschooling, impending house move, sorting removals, chasing solicitors, work, so on and forth) it was nice to switch off for a while, won't happen again once the kids are back at (home)school next week! 
These very cosy slippers from @bedroomathletics are ideal for me, they have a furry lining, suede uppers and are as comfy as you can get- perfect for all these days at home and ideal for standing packing all my boxes as they have a moulded foot bed- this old lady needs to support her feet these days!
