    Weymouth is one of my favourite places, I’ve been so many times that I’ve lost count! It’s hosted many of our family holidays, from when my children were young to more recent holidays with my grandchildren. In fact, we visit most years, even if only for short break. So what is it, that makes Weymouth…

    This Chocolate cake recipe is an old favourite in our house, I’ve been using it for over 20 years, it’s easy to make & pretty foolproof. The kind of recipe where you stick all the ingredients in a bowl, mix it and then shove it in the oven. It tastes amazing & really is the…

    Mr Fixit & I were lucky enough to get a couple of free tickets via Moneysavingexpert to visit the Ideal Home Show in Olympia last weekend. We’ve been before and it’s usually a fun day out, mostly looking at things we’d like but can’t afford (or don’t have a big enough home or garden for)…

    Since visiting Portugal for a family wedding in 2023 I have developed a love of Portuguese wine. My favourite Portuguese white is a cheap (of course!) but very drinkable Vinho Verde available from Tesco. It’s called Por Do Sol and has a quite distinctive blue tinted bottle with a blue cap and a blue wave…

    Mr Fixit & I were hooked and quickly become daily Pokemon Go players and now 10 years on, he’s lost interest but I still play every day! It’s not cool like it was just after it’s launch in 2016 but it’s become quite a cult game and in our hometown it still has quite a…

    One of my latest loves is Pinch of Nom – I bought one of their recipe books in Aldi (where else!) just after Christmas. The recipes are really easy to follow and great if you are looking for recipes to help with weight loss or just want some good healthier option, tasty recipes. I wasn’t…
