John Greed are running a Valentines Day BloggerChallenge where you create a mood board showing the
items of Jewellery you would like you partner to buy you for Valentine’s Day(here
is hoping hint hint ).
This is a challenge
considering its tomorrow so doubt this would happen for me anyway but if I
could use a magic wand and have £250 to spend at John Greed then this would be
my dream wish list ... now it was not easy as i could spend this 10x and more
as there are so many things I would love but after a while I narrowed it down
to these items ... now you may think some are not very valentine’s day inspired
but to me it’s what would be personal to what I would like .. and what would
make my valentine’s day one that I would always remember ...
Not saying my hubby is romantic but the last few years let’s
say I have corpse bride on DVD and a film called double jeopardy not really romantic
if you ask me lol
For my first choice I have chosenSwarovskiNightingale PendentWhich is of a butterfly ... as most people know I love butterfly's and
would love to receive something like this for a valentines present as it shows
the person buying it for me that they know me and this would be a
great alternative to a bunch of flowers any day
For another choice would be a selection of Pandora
beads my husband bought me a Pandora a while back and
yet I still have no beads and would love to add to my
bracelet I am off to Vegas next month for my 30th
and I have chosen a selection of travel related beads to
symbolise a big part of a new memory that is going to happen very soon ....
If I was lucky enough to get
these charms from my valentine it would fab I know it’s not
very traditional but it would mean a lot more to me then flowers or
chocolates and would last a lot longer and hold more memories than
anything else ....
Now since I can remember I have always loved the rainbow necklace from
Coeur De Lion who wouldn't its absolutely stunning and I will own one day with
it s rainbow colours it gives me a uplifting mood ever time I look at it and
takes me to happy place ...
The total of the items
I have chosen comes to £251 bang on hope they let me go over by a £1 if not
ekkk !! I’ll pay he! he! Was hard to narrow it down but I love my choice hope
you like what i decided on too ... let me know what would you chose if you
could have £250 to spend

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 ....

Well like i promised it was slow start for me playing this game and working out as i have been very busy with kids and work but once i got going i found it very easy to get to grips with and it has great easy controls and settings, you start the game like many others by adding you details like your age, weight, and sex. Once this has been done you start a fitness test which i can describe as intense but it really shows where you are at with your fitness and it pushes you to you limits that is for sure example of the fitness test are seeing how many sit ups as you can for one minute, and then do the same for push-ups and then jumping hacks. After all that you are ask to check your heart rate which the kinect explains how to do that very well ...... I was placed at beginner but i am fine with that and i like to work up also .......... Another plus is that using the Kinect its all voice activated so you can talk your way through the menu screen which is great ...
The different activities you can carry out are Workouts, Activities, Programs, Quick Workout, Multi-player Games, and Player Tracker which i check quite often lol ...... Once you are selected workout you get a choice of selecting different trainers based on there abilities so there work outs are similar but differ a little in order and what they focus first, each have a around 20 different workouts can get alot harder after a while .... they last around 15- 20 mins (which is enough for me lol ) as even for a intermediate level you will be sweating and puffing in no time lol .......
well that is enough about the game for the moment i will feature more on it later ..... i might miss my training today as after my midnight walk and Zumba last night i am quite tired today only having around fours hours sleep as i had to get up for the kids today but here are some piccys of the the midnight walk and please dont forget to sponsor me here please you still can ........
And if you want to find out more about my MCV UFC challenge you can keep up to date and read about it here and catch up with all the other details on MCV Website too and see who else is in the running as well .....
Yes i am doing the Midnight walk tonight for St Lukes Hospice please feel free to sponsor me This year theme is Hula girls so Look out for pics later this week I am walking 7 Miles so it should be great fun and i am also doing a bit of Zumba before hand as a warm up .....
I Have been working out to UFC Ultimate Trainer for the 360 Xbox Kinect Part of a 30 day test to see how much fitter i can get i can tell you it has been a blast I have been eating loads of fruit and also doing loads of Zumba at my local Zumba class on a Monday ......
Fruit ranges from nectarines, Blueberry's, Strawberry's and many more .....I have also been eating more low fat snacks like the velvet Crunch crisps too anything to help my calorie intake while i have been using the UFC trainer i will keep you more updated of more i progress later on this week and tell you more about the game but i can tell you its hard work but i ma starting to see its all starting to pay off ........ Plus i keeping think there is a holiday to be one at the end of it which is great motivation i can tell you
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 .....
