Late last year I took a driving lesson (aged 13) courtesy of young drivers  the instructors were nice and the waiting time short. I thought the cars they used were easy to understand which helped with the experience. The lessons will really help me when the time comes to take my real driving lessons.so overall I rate them 4.9 out …

The weather in the UK at the moment could best be described as changeable. Basically no-one knows what the weather is going to be like from one hour to the next and even the official weather reports seem rather vague. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve sent the boys to school in full coats etc as it …

I have occasionally signed up to a gym, enjoying the classes above all else but with three children I found that I just couldn’t justify the time. I would have to go when the children were in school or nursery which then cut into my working hours and left me working long after I’d put them all to bed. The gym …

This has been a long time coming and we should have shouted about this long ago but there were so many unsung heroes over Christmas that we had to leave Certainly Wood at the bottom of the log pile.

We knew these would be popular what we had forgotten was just how vast and wide children’s imaginations are. Forget the XBox, forget the TV, hand these to any …

We are still putting together our master  Top Toys for Christmas 2014 list (read that as we are still playing with toys and trying to decide which ones should make it onto the list). This is our not-quite master list. That’s not to say that some of these won’t make it onto the big list (or that they don’t deserve to), …

Living in a fairly rural area I am somewhat limited as to where I may do my “big” shop. Thankfully supermarket companies such as Sainsburys and Asda offer me a wider choice thanks to their online grocery delivery services. Asda is my personal current favourite due to range of foods offered as well as the low prices (although the service from …
