This was all in my party pack !!!
As you can see from the photo we had some great stuff sent .... we even had a recipe for cupcakes and you all know how much I love to bake and so I had to enter there competition ... with one great prize to win so wish me luck on that one .... the prize I could win is A honey-themed afternoon with tea and cake (nom nom) for me and a friend ... a spa facial and a massage (yes please) and £200 spending money and a overnight stay at Londons Athenaeum hotel (OMG ) so you can see why i had to enter....

I have been busy getting my kids to enter loads of colouring comps and drawing comps over teh holidays not only does this mean they are having there is a opportunity they could win some fab stuff too ...
We have done the flora bike comp which they did not win but had fun thinking and designing there dream bikes.......
My daughter Amy also entered a comp drawing a dream forest which has not ended yet so if you want to enter here is the link here ....
But the best one of all that the kids have really loved is the Back to school ones and with the youngest starting school this year they have been loving these the best ....
During a wet windy day during the week we all sat down and found that Ebay on facebook were doing a fantastic back to school comp which involves two different Craft making projects.
the kids loved the castle and having three they all wanted one so we got to work looking around for what we needed getting the cereal boxes were easy ...
finding the kitchen rolls was not so easy as i have this but they are all full ...... so guess what mummy had to do yep unravel all the kitchen roll and fold it all up so they could make there desk tidys (Thanks Ebay lol )
So we got to work
After a hour we had managed to get alot done ... the Mirror stickers we bought at our local craft shop were proofing a excellent buy as the kids were loving them the most putting them on there castle ...
The Thomas who is 6 was helping the youngest Robert who is four putting his mirror stickers on so that all there castle would match ..
Many Many hours of fun later we had finished and i might say they look fantastic even if we are not lucky enough to win one of the prizes ebay is offering we all had fun and cant wait to try out the next project ....
Thanks Ebay we had lots of fun today making these From Amy Age 9 Thomas Age 6 and Robert Age 4......
Hi everyone sorry it has been so long but i cant tell you how stressful life has been my jod one of them finally i am being made redundant which is good and bad .......
we got burgled which was horrible they never took very much but it was horrible to say the least ....
Not the winning Photo but one i did check on teh youtube vid for live stream
AND i love it just i cant use it yet so no review sorry but it will be on here as well loads of other kitchen appliances too so watch this space ...
My new kitchen
The reason I still have not had a play is because i have a new kitchen being fitted which the bank of mum paid for as you can see from the picture its not finished my dad is fitting and they are on holiday at the moment and my dad just had a hernia removed too so he has not be allowed to do anything ..... and i am desperate to get in there and get everything sorted as my current kitchen is way to small and its a mess and so cluttered.
My old kitchen will become my utility room instead of the shed out in the garden that got broken into ..... (dont like going out there much now ) and my new Samsung Eco bubble will have its on space and i cant wait to use it has its in my living room at the moment and i cant stop looking at it plus my mum is on a countdown as my christmas tree goes up soon and i need the washing machine in as one my old has pretty much died and i need the space for my tree ......
My baby ......
I have opened to look and the manual and the setting are amazing and this is so going to help me with all my washing need as you can see from my other photo i have alot of washing every week and this will really help as its got a 12kg drum where as my old washing machine is only 6kg ........
but i am very happy and cant tell you how made up i am i want to thank Samsung so much and Appliances Online for making me very happy as i really am .... and once i get my baby working ill be posting a in-depth review and will continue to try all the settings and let you know what i think i am pretty sure i am going to love it ......
AND if you want one yourself they are available to buy from Appliances online here on a next day delivery too .....I can vouch for that there delivery service is spot on and amazing i won it on a Friday and received it on the Saturday.
There is great vid on the website to which will give you all the details on why i fell in love with this machine plus check out youtube as there are some great reviews from other Appliances online winners on this great washing machine and mine will be there very soon promise ..... i just cant wait to play ... so thanks again ..... from a very excited mum of three .... hope you liked my cake SAMSUNG ....
Well i still need a washing machine and i have my heart set on the Samsung Eco Bubble as it has so many thing i need to save my washing life as you all know i still have loads of washing to do ....... and if Samsung ever need me to review one i am here ....... but the real reason i am here today is to explain that i also need a cooker so here i am trying to win one from Appliances online now i wanted to blog about the reason why i have entered and why i have chosen the product i want to win .......
The cooker is a lot larger than what i currently have so with all my cake baking and cooking for my family of five it would be great to get a lot more done. This model also comes with some great safety features, theflame safety devicesenses when the flame has been extinguished and automatically cuts off the gas supply preventing a dangerous gas leak. And my favourite part is, Thechild safety lockwill prevent any little hands from opening the oven and risking burning themselves which is a godsend for any parent if you ask me.
So this is what it can do now here are the reason i need a new cooker as you can see from my photos my cooker well has seen its days , the cooker came with the house and i have no idea how old its is and i would love to be able to get a new cooker for my new kitchen .... as i wont be having a electric this time and am having a gas fitted into my kitchen one because i prefer to cook with gas and two the kids can see the hot flame so they no not to touch as with mine here you can see its hard to see if the cooker is on or not ..... plus with the Zanussi cooker it has a hob safety glass that can be but over the hobs to protect any thing from being but over the hot areas ...... once again a great safety feature for family's like mine
So you can see here the the hobs are right in reach of any hands and is not very safe at all for children ..........
And here you can see the oven is on but you have no way of telling that it is switched on so if any one puts anything on top of the oven hot plates they could be in for a nasty shock ...... not like i leave this unattended but you never know it only takes a second for something to go wrong and with the Zanussi you would have peace of mind with the hot plate cover and a child lock too
But remember like always you can enter too but make sure you watch the video first as this will help you get every step right and good luck ..... you can enter by clicking this link here .....
Just received a email about the the new LeapPad that goes on sale on the 15th of August with a price tag of £79.99 from LeapFrogs website or From Toys r us and is available to pre order now and available in Pink or Green. Now i know the price seems a little pricey and is it worth it I hear you say well knowing my experience with Leapfrog i have never doubted there products yet so I can assume it will be worth every penny. The LeapPad Explorer is available for ages 4 - 9 so if you have three kids like me and different ages they will find something that is suitable for there learning and if its anything like the Leapster 2 you can set different users so you can keep a eye on their progress via your PC and can monitor there progression and how they are learning through playing which has always been a major plus for me.
I hope to do a review of one of these later in the year so look out for that it all depends on when i get my hands on this product by either winning one or buying one at Christmas and i am sure it will be on my top tips for prezzys for kids this Christmas.
But in the mean time go and enter the comp over at LeapFrog UK Facebook page right now which ends on the 15th July so i recommend going to there page here and entering yourself they have already given two away and there is still one more up for grabs.....
Share a funny comment about a mishap with a gadget that you own that involves the kids
And the three best stories win a LeapPad Explorer finishes on the 15th July
