Things we’re looking forward to in August 2018
We’re already a couple of weeks through the school holidays and the kids have started to say the “B” word. Unless they can site watching Youtube for the remainder of the holidays.

Dobson & Parnell, Daily Set Menu

The Best Non-Cruise on the Tyne
Our experience of holidays on a ship is very limited. We’ve only done one, and that was in the Caribbean. We’d looked at heading over to Amsterdam with DFDs Seaways last year but never got around to organising it. Then when it came to booking the mini-break to Amsterdam this year we booked flights instead of…

Booking a Last Minute Summer Holiday to Save Money
The last time we went to Florida was in May 2015, it was a planned holiday. We booked up over a year in advance and paid it off bit by bit. However, It was also a very expensive holiday (that was amazing), that resulted in us buying a tent for a cheap alternative to holidays…

Where have I been living for the past few years? I mean we’ve had slime and squished it. Then squashed it into the carpet and ruined any amount of clothes. Kinetic Rock is a miracle product that I wish we’d found much earlier. Kinetic Rock 3 in 1 Loader We were given the Kinetic Rock 3…
