Have you already booked a post lockdown holiday for you and your family? We have! I am so excited to be heading back to our favourite place. We will be spending a midweek break in July on the Isle of Wight. The only difference is the holiday park. This time we are spending time at Nodes Point Holiday Park which is a caravan site on the island. It kind of feels like going abroad because we have to get there on about - pretty much the same thing right? Caravan parks are places we love ... Read more

Making Bath Time Fun with Kids Stuff Crazy Bathtime Range
Ad - Gifted Products - I received some products in exchange for this feature. All opinions are my own. I recently read that if kids are getting a bit bored there are two things you can do to help them - get them outside or get them in water. There are of course times when getting outside just isn't feasible, especially close to bed time and a bath is something my two-year old absolutely loves. Bath times are fun! I was sent some products from Kids Stuff Crazy Bathtime range to try ... Read more
How We FINALLY got a PS5
If you, like me, have been trying to get a PS5 FOR MONTHS then you will know it's no easy feat. The newest console was released in November 2020 and preorders sold out incredibly quickly. Add in a global pandemic, people off work and furloughed, factories and ports running on skeleton staff as well as, here in the UK, all the issues Brexit has caused and you have a bit of a delay getting stock delivered. And then, you have people wanting to exploit this and make a huge profit. Now, I ... Read more
Lockdown & Ninety Seven Percent
I was inspired to write this after seeing a poem on Instagram by @thelizaparadox who wrote an amazing original poem that rang so true with me. I don't really do poetry to be honest. It kind of went off on a tangent about how I don't like the goverment but you know that's how I am. I don't understand why the people in chargeContinue to see us stopped on a marchOr vigil, or protest, or from simply existingBeing someone like me feels like a terrible thingAt times, but I want to speak ...

The Problem with saying Violence Against Women and why #notallmen should be met with #toomanymen
The problem with violence against women is the removal of 'male' in a sentance that should read Male Violence Against Womxn to include cis women, trans men and women, non binary folx and basically anyone that has ever been a victim of assault because of their gender and/or sexuality. The problem with saying #notallmen is because that is nonwithstanding but victims of assualt shouldn't have to say "OF COURSE ITS NOT ALL MEN!" - that's obvious, but it is too many men. We are dealing with ... Read more

![Do you ever start books and then just don’t finish them...Not actively DNF’ing because you enjoy them but then something else comes along and before you know it the book is firmly back on the shelf and you haven’t picked it up for months?
I have a lot like this from last summer where I got like ten chapters in then just hit a slump or fancied a change or switched formats...
Thorn is one such read for me. It was part of a book club read and I started off so well but then just...stopped. I’d love to finish it soon!
