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!!

Present Buying

Growing up surrounded by girls has meant that I've always been very good at buying Girly gifts! However when its my male friends birthdays, I'm completely stuck !!!

So, I asked for advice off a male friend and his view was :


Always buy a women a present that is part of a hobby or something that interests her in her spare time.


Always buy a man a gift that involves his job or his work lifestyle.


If we follow these rules we can't go too wrong.


But is my friend right, what do you lovely lot think ? Boys we need your views !

Brick Lane !!

On a Sunny Sunday afternoon, we decided to take a stroll through Brick Lane !!!

With its winding street full to the brim with the hustle and bustle of the Market, it was busy !!

Everyone looked really cool in their eccentric clothing and individual looks! I didn't feel quite cool enough to be there !
Most wall are covered in wicked artistic graffiti and there's a real mix of vintage stores, jewelry stalls and loads of really cool places to stop for lunch !

Beautiful for a cool afternoon out !! Also a perfect place to pick up a unique gift or two !! We will defo be paying another visit soon !
