Decade Birthday Shopping

On Tuesday it will be my birthday and I will be entering a whole new decade age-wise (yes people I will be twenty *cough*). In honour of this occasion I was sent out with my youngest sister along with my folks to shop until I dropped. It was quite an experience (I wasn’t confused as being my sister’s mother this time though which was a bonus) and we laughed like mini hyenas for the most of the day.

Setting out for pre-birthday shopping I imagined some spiky high heels, bling, a completely unpractical top and what not hitting my basket. Instead the bulk of my purchases included a gilet from BHS, some special jeans from SimplyBe that hide many sins and of course some kick arse waist-high control pants. I have to give special mention to the control pants. They were from Primark (the only thing in there that fits me other than the gloves), cost £5 each and I’m not convinced that they weren’t designed by NASA. Fabulous tummy-sucky-in things.

So there you go, no sparkly heels, no bling (saying that I did get a lovely early present from Lauren, my youngest sister which were some gorgeous silver earrings), and no flashy tops. I am greeting my next shiny new decade with a lifted bum, sucked in tummy, a comfy gilet  and can’t wait!

Scooby-Doo Spooky Games – Review

 

What is really cool about this dvd is that a statue comes alive and throws arrows and stuff and Shaggy and Scooby make me laugh loads!“, Kieran 6yrs.

Kieran has watched this DVD no fewer than five times in two weeks and still chuckles madly throughout. The DVD runs for 113 minutes and is guaranteed to keep your little ones quiet and amused which has been fantastic during the rainy days we’ve endured this “summer”.

As always Warner Brothers pulled out all the stops when sending out this DVD for review as we received a goodie bag complete with everything we needed to run our own “laff-packed” sport fun. As the weather has been so rubbish we enjoyed indoor sports so moved back all furniture, removed breakables and blew whistles, played hilarious bean bag games and did a sack race (Taylor my 21m old then hid in his sack for the afternoon and played peek-a-boo).

The main feature on  this DVD includes Scooby & Shaggy taking part in the World International Games and without giving too much away, the resulting chaos and laughter of their adventure has had us all in stitches! The rest of the DVD includes episodes that many people enjoyed years ago yet which remains timeless and fun for all ages.

Regardless of whether it is the sporting season,  a rainy summer day or indeed any time, this fabulous DVD will have viewers unable to look away as the plot unfolds and will leave a grin on everybody’s face.

* Warner Brothers sent us this DVD and some fun sporty stuff yet have had no influence on the review. We review as we find as we find that this DVD is “probably the most awesome I’ve watched in ages“. Thanks W Bros!
