It was my birthday on Friday. It didn’t start out so well (police ringing doorbell at 1.30am), but that’s another story, that I’m going to steer clear of for the time being, because I will not be able to stop myself ranting, and that’s never pretty!

We split the whole group into three groups (5 in each) and while two groups played games in the hall. The first groups pancake making over ran [...]

I came across this page for doing experiments in 2 litre drinks bottles. It got my interest, and I’ve been trying to get my head around which I could do. I like the idea of doing a fun project/experiment at home, and a bottle is small. Initially I was planning to go for the Decomposition [...]

Let me first say a HUGE thank you to The Pioneer Woman, who told me the recipe on her blog – have a look here, there’s a pictorial step by step guide, unlike mine [...]

I’ve just been having a browse on Ebay, looking for nice writing paper (since it’s hard to buy fun/good stuff in shops these days). I came across this for 50 plastic money/coin bags!! For 50p plus £2 (or £2.50 if you choose the wrong posting – he’s got 9 lots) for postage and packaging you [...]

This morning, I decided to have a go at posting on my blog from my Ipod Touch…it didn’t work. When I tried on the safari browser I could add in the title, but I couldn’t seem to get it to write in the main text box!! Not very helpful! So I looked through the apps [...]

We’d been meaning to write a [...]

Time flies by so fast. Christmas is fast creeping up on us. This is not a bad thing, I just feel like I need to get things organised a bit faster. My plan for a general Christmas present idea, for various people, involves some time spent making it. It is something new for me, so [...]
