Easter Treats.

I love my little cousins, honestly I do. I don't get to see them very often and their laughter and joy for life really makes me smile.

I also REALLY LOVE being able to sit and eat my meal and have a big catch up with my older cousins! (I sound selfish I know but I do make time to speak to the kids too I promise!!)

This is why for the past 3 years I have been using my best Single Girl Tactics to ensure I get the best of both worlds. Time with my lovely, crazy, funny tiny cousins and guarenteed "grown-up" conversations!

How do I manage both I hear you say? What are your tactics? Well they are simple.... I bring along fun, cheap treats nothing too fancy just some table top gifts that the kids can use straight away.

This year I have created an easter "Lucky Dip" filled with goodies that even the adults can appreciate! I bought all the goodies from Sainsbury's (I've ONLY just realised how good Sainsbury's seasonal ranges are!!!)

So this Easter Sunday will go as follows...  I will arrive wearing bunny ears (I'll spare the family the Bridget Jones style leotard) and let the kids pick from the lucky dip, while they are busy playing with their winnings I will be catching up on all the gossip!!


I'll let you know if my plan pays off!!

Happy Easter Ladies!!

Ideal Home Show 2013

On Saturday I had a girly day out with my Mum and two Aunties, they had travelled to London from Wales to visit the Ideal Home Show (which is at Earl's Court)  and I decided to tag along.

Food, Home Improvements, Women and Interiors were just some of the sections the Show had to offer. The room was PACKED full of stalls with great ideas and bargains to be had (we definitely managed to pick up a few goodies for ourselves!)






One of my Favourite sections was the "Only Fools and Horses" refit. Which on one side was a replica of the Trotter's Peckham flat  and on the other side was a refit of the flat by George Clarke (I only managed to get pictures of Del Boy and Rodney's Flat as it was PACKED!!)

 Another Brilliant find was a chair by Kelly Swallow, I've been checking out her work since seeing her chair on Saturday and I am in LOVE with her designs!! I cannot wait until I have a house of my own so I can buy one of her BEAUTIFUL chairs.

Other great bits to see included the food section - there were some seriously delicious foods on offer, and some stalls selling BRILLIANT food gadgets. We managed to walk aways with a zillion different cheeses, so I am currently trying to plan a Cheese and Wine night!!!

All in all the Ideal Home Show is a great day out, we laughed all day and managed to grab a drink and rest our weary feet... I'd definitely suggest wearing comfy shoes because there is plenty of walking to be done!!

Breakfast Blog: The Delaunay Counter

Our mum's always tell us that "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" and we couldn't agree more.
So we have made it our mission to find some of the best breakfasts in London! It's a hard mission but someone has to do it!!
We are starting our #breakfastblog in Central London, picking places at random and trying what they have to offer.

First up was The Delaunay Counter, which was absolute breakfast bliss! It's beautiful decor makes for a perfect breakfast getaway for a quiet morning catch up.

We both had the sausage sandwich with a cup of tea (it was so tasty) and followed breakfast up with a delicious dessert (it was past midday by this point -honest).

The Delaunay Counter is definitely somewhere we would visit again, great food, great service all for a reasonable price! It's also the perfect place to take family for a treat!!

Our breakfast cost £8.75 each for a sausage sandwich, cup of tea and a dessert and we think it was great value for money! We could of happily sat there all day!!

Check it out - let us know what you thought!!

Love
