Cabin Fever - Book Review

I used to work in the travel industry as a ticketing and reservation agent for an around the world tour operator.  My days were filled with system after system of flight, passenger and surface travel information. I could recite, and still can to this day, pretty much every major airport and airline code that existed. I often wondered what actually goes on behind the scenes at the airlines I printed tickets or booked seats for every day for two years.  Well yesterday I got some insight when I found the perfect book for me Cabin Fever: The Sizzling Secrets of a Virgin Air Hostess.

First Friends Magazine & Giveaway

When I look at magazines for my children, I want them to be fun but educational at the same time. It has been quite hard to find such a publication as they are usually based heavily on the cartoon character rather than educating. Well I have finally found the perfect magazine for my children, First Friends magazine.

Nice Afternoon

We had a nice afternoon at my parent's house.  Yesterday was my dad's birthday but it was decided that we would have a family meal today instead.

Dance the weight away

As you know from a previous post I love to dance.  I have even been known to shake my tooshie when out and about and that includes dancing in the aisles in Asda! People who know me will tell you that I was always a perfectionist when it came to learning a new routine so it was easy for me to forget about the fun element and the biggest thing of all, the exercise side of dance.

It was a success

Well I hosted the coffee morning yesterday and.....IT WAS A MASSIVE SUCCESS!

I had a target of £75 and I managed to raise £150!!

Everyone who attended had a wonderful time. £3 entry got them as much tea, sandwiches and cake as they could handle! You would be lucky to get cake for that in most cafes! I also sold some cakes my awesome sister Claire made for 50p a cake!

I also held a raffle for a beautiful hamper that Jacqui made for me! This was £2 a strip (you can see why)

I held a raffle for other awesome goodies too at £1 a strip.

Here are some more picture from yesterday.

I want to say thanks to the following people: Mum, Dad, Claire, Dave, Aunt Margaret, Jacqui, Emma, Marie & Lisa for all their donations and cake making!!  Douwe Egberts, Tetley & Yorkshire Tea for sending me tea and coffee for my event.

I also want to thank everyone who kindly donated money.

Halloween 2014

Wow Friday was a very busy day for us.  During the night Liam was up as he was sick but he was well enough to go to school.  I am glad as he had a Halloween party in his class and he got to dress up as a vampire. He looked so cute!!

Whilst he was at school myself and Sophie went to Clarks with my mum and dad to get Sophie much needed new shoes, her feet grow far too quickly! It actually turned out to be a rather quick trip as Sophie knew what she wanted. Yes she is 2 but when it comes to shoes she knows haha.  She conned her gran and Granda into a pair of trainers too. On the way back we saw the Kelpies. This was the first time I have seen them up close.  They are amazing.

On Friday night we all went to a charity Halloween party, yes me included, along with my mum, my sister, her boyfriend and my aunt.  Liam is a right party animal we hardly saw him all night as he was busting some moves on the dance floor.  Sophie was talking to everyone and had a dance too.  They played pass the parcel and it came down to Liam and Sophie.  Sophie won and Liam wasn't too happy oops but he did win the scariest face competition so all was well again!!  As for me I lasted over 3 hours before having to sit in my mums car.  This was not down to anxiety it was down to a really sore back!! Not long later we all went home.  The kids were exhausted, we all were.  It was a fantastic night and we all had a great time.
