Homily is one lucky dog this year… We were sent a selection of Christmas Gifts from Pets at Home free of charge in order to preview their Christmas range, and Homily couldn’t believe her nose when she sniffed at the box that arrived! Stashed away inside our box we found a fun squeaky penguin (£2), a …
Here on the internet we are quick to publicly criticise and condemn companies for their failings, and I would like to share a positive story about the customer service we recently received from Morrisons – why not share the good stories as well as the bad? James bought me a double packet of malted milk …
The day after we got back from our holiday, we popped into Birmingham city centre to check out the M Kitchen Roadshow. M Kitchen is Morrisons in-house kitchen, where they play with flavours and recipes, developing all of the M Kitchen ready meals.
To celebrate a new range of meals, the M Kitchen chefs headed out on the road with a rather snazzy mobile kitchen to share their new flavours with the general public. We visited the roadshow in Victoria Square on 5th October.
A few weeks ago we received an exciting delivery from Barmy & Britmums; in preparation for some outdoor adventures we got a hamper filled with Barny snacks, a bug barn & bug catching tools, and a lovely DK children’s book all about bugs.
On our final morning at the Haven holiday park we stayed at last week, we decided to take a walk in the woods on-site and do some bug hunting. The contents of our caravan had been squeezed back into the car and the keys handed in, so it was time to find an activity to wear Georgie out enough ready to be stuck in the car for hours in the afternoon.
My (very new) sister-in-law is a Ward Sister for the NHS and is always on the lookout for comfortable hard wearing shoes to cope with the many hours she spends on her feet. When I saw that they were looking for healthcare professionals to review these shoes, which claim to ensure instant comfort that lasts all day, I immediately thought of Katie & her poor tired feet!
September is over, and my mad month of giveaway posts has finished. I hope that everyone has enjoyed the ridiculous number of competitions that have been launched on my blog over the past 30 days. With over 50 competitions covering a wide variety of prizes, I’m pretty sure there is something for everyone. Every single …
Christmas is fast approaching, and I’ve started to think about what we are going to be buying the girls for their stockings, and their bigger presents from us too. There are always the inevitable requests from relatives for gift ideas as well – I dread these as they don’t come with £ signs attached… what …
Something a little bit puzzling happened this morning… As I took Georgie down from her seat at breakfast time I stripped her of her PJs, as normal after her morning meal, and found a bare bottom underneath! Now, I was there when James got her ready for bed last night, and I know he put …
Mama Geek turns two next month! I registered the domain on 17th August 2011, and my first post was written on 12th September. Since then, a lot of things have happened – it’s been a busy two years! Our biggest news, of course, was that our family of three became one of four, when I …
Georgie has become a little bit obsessed with piling books lately. She still enjoys reading them, but is really into piling her books too. As we have been working on her little library for over two years now, she has quite a few books to pile up. Piles can get to pretty epic proportions, and …
