My Curves and Me & Cleo Meg

November 21, 2012

There’s one rule I fastidiously live by and it’s always be a bargain hunter.  I’m thankful for growing up in a household which meant our family had to watch the pennies because it taught me to be thrifty and wise with my cash.  I hate […]

Wonderbra Haul of Fame Campaign – Part 1

October 15, 2012

Strapless bras, multiway bras, push up and plunge.  For something so small, bras sure know how to bewilder us! You shouldn’t have to possess a science degree to know which bra you could be wearing with your little black dress.  But never fear, no matter […]

The day Reuben met Father Christmas. šŸ§‘ā€šŸŽ„ The day Reuben met Father Christmas. šŸ§‘ā€šŸŽ„ 
Took us all the way up to Belsay Hall in Northumberland to find the big old man and a fabulous vintage treat it was. Parlour games, wooden toys and lots of extravagant festive decoration.

Day out at Beamish on Saturday which was the best day of the weekend. Mostly bright and not too cold. Spent our time round the 1900s pit village where we got hot cheese and onion pasties and sausage rolls from the sinkers bait cabin and went to school. Looked in the toy shop and played in the park at the 50s area, surprised by a passing Father Christmas in a horse drawn carriage. Reuben loved the bank and seeing the old money in the 1800s town (which the bank teller didn’t seem to be amused with for some grumpy reason). Listened a little to the visiting Prudhoe brass band and just enjoyed a little rambling mooch. Didn’t feel *as festive* as previous years but a cute day out all the same. šŸŽ„
Christmas lights switch on in Richmond on Friday n Christmas lights switch on in Richmond on Friday night marked a Christmassy weekend.  Even though the ā€œbig treeā€ was decorated a week ago, we decorated the house a bit more with garlands and paper chains and I’ve done a couple more little trees. Still not yet finished though! 

Hope everyone’s enjoying bringing the festivities into the home. šŸŽ„

After school yesterday we drove up to the MetroCen After school yesterday we drove up to the MetroCentre for one thing - Santa! šŸŽ… New this Christmas, Lego brought out an upscaled Santa mini fig, like the dude we got from Legoland in the summer.  A Lego shop exclusive, he’s been on back order for ages on the website so we rang the closest Lego shop to see if they had any. Luckily they did and reserved us our Santa. There were none on the shelves by the time we got there so just as well! Fab shop. Nice place to see plenty Lego sets you can’t get elsewhere and there’s even loose Lego to have a little play with while you’re there. I noticed back home though that my Lego Insiders card hadn’t scanned so I didn’t get my points which is poop. If you don’t know what that is, it’s a club to save points to redeem for Lego goodies and that’s a no brainer if you’re a brick head. šŸ˜„ 

So here’s to the start of Christmas even though it’s still only November. Oh yeah and the Christmas tree’s up! šŸŽ„

Lumiere 2025 was magical āœØšŸ’” Durham is a stunn Lumiere 2025 was magical āœØšŸ’” Durham is a stunning city and to see it lit with glowing art installations is a spectacular sight. It was cold and we walked for hours, but we were wrapped up warm and enjoyed every bit of the trail. My favourites were the silver wire fish and the flowers at the cathedral but the running man beside the river, which reminded me of Keith Haring’s art, was a fun one. 

Question is, was this the last Lumiere in Durham? šŸ¤”
