    Almost halfway through the year, and it feels like summer is arriving. The weather has been pretty good this weekend, the World Cup is underway and Mr Fixit & I are looking forward to a short break very soon to my beloved Weymouth! Friday evening saw us cooking burgers and sausages in the garden on…

    Mr Fixit and I have been watching Dear England, the four part series on BBC1 which follows Gareth Southgate’s time as England manager. The series is based on the play by the same name, which debuted in 2023 and went on to tour the UK. We really enjoyed it, it brought back lots of memories…

    Singing is one of the things I love to do, I’m not a great singer by any means, but I enjoy it! I sing along to the radio in the car, sing karaoke at home and I sing with a choir (a rock/pop choir not a church choir)! Singing is good for the soul and…

    Popped into my local Morrisons for some toothpaste during my lunch break today and came out with a few bargains! None of these offers appear to be online unfortunately, but definitely are available in store. 24 rolls of toilet paper for £5.50 can’t be bad – a much better deal than my usual supermarket brand…

    Great value BBQ pack! I picked up one of these when Mr Fixit & I hosted an impromptu little family bbq last Bank holiday weekend – really good value and the sausages were super tasty! The pack consists of 6 burgers, 8 sausages, 4 pork loin steaks & 4 beef sizzle steaks. The weather forecast…

    A great app to help identify birds! Merlin Bird ID is one of my favourite & most frequently used apps! I discovered it a couple of years ago, after my son who lives in rural Wales (and is lucky to have a wide variety of feathered visitors to his garden) recommended it to me. The…

    I’ve been looking for a new foundation as my usual one has been discontinued. I saw this in my local Superdrug store and after testing it, (and a few others) on the back of my hand and parts of my face at the Nyx stand, I thought I would try it. I liked the texture…

    Just before Christmas last year, I celebrated an ‘0’ birthday, and my lovely children gave a voucher for tickets for me & a guest to see Abba Voyage. I’ve been an Abba fan since the 70s and seeing the show was definitely on my list but something I’d not got round to doing. Of course,…

    15 years ago today, I became a Grandma (or should that be Grandmuv!) when my eldest granddaughter was born. It all felt a bit strange, I was 45 and wasn’t quite sure how to be a grandmother or even if I was old enough! I was very happy of course, but becoming a grandparent kinda…
