    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…

    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…

    A warm, sunny weekend in the garden means it’s time to get the pizza oven out! We’ve had a Woody pizza oven for a couple of years and use it often during good weather. I make dough using a recipe for Classic Pizza Dough on the Ooni website, I cheat a little and rather than…

    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…
