Chickenjoy at Jollibee, Nottingham-2

Chickenjoy at Jollibee, Nottingham

AD | Gifted meal We always look for new places to eat as a family, whether that be for a sit down meal or somewhere quick and easy. On a recent trip to Nottingham, we tried Jollibee a try for the first time.

A medieval adventure at Nottingham Castle

AD | Press tickets Although I lived in Nottingham for 3 years while I was at university I didn’t really do any of the touristy things… which I really regret now. Right at the top of my places to visit with Erin was Nottingham Castle!

With our trip to Disneyland Paris around 7 months With our trip to Disneyland Paris around 7 months away, Erin and I visited the Disney Store during a trip to London. 

With Toy Story 5 being the newest release, there’s a lot of merch available and it took up quite a big area of the main floor. Don’t miss taking your photo with Woody or Buzz while you’re there! 

We loved looking around the clothes, eyeing up what Erin likes now that she’s a bit older and what she might want to wear at DLP. Standouts for me were the cardigans but so much money. 

Being pin collectors we had to have a look. Sadly, nothing really stood out to us. We liked plenty of the pins but at roughly £15-£20 each, I wanted to find ones we really loved. We’ve saved our money but will definitely buy some in DLP.

What I love about the Disney Store is how fun it is to visit, even if you’re not buying anything. Staff are so friendly and helpful, and there’s so much to see as you walk around.
Want to try a delicious K-Dog next time you're in Want to try a delicious K-Dog next time you're in London? Head to @camdenmarket and be sure to visit @uhkdogsnjuicy

Choose from turkey sausage, vegetarian sausage or just mozzarella cheese as a filling, then decided on your coating. There are 7 to choose from, from something quite plain to some really interesting options. Next, you can have up to 3 sauce toppings! 

Cooked fresh to order, these K-Dogs are absolutely delicious. I didn't think one covered with fries would be as good as it was... but it really was amazing. The cheese pull is phenomenal too.

Erin finished off with Tanghulu, a fruit skewer which is coated in a liquid sugar, which has set. On a really hot day in London, this was a perfect end to lunch. 

Erin's already asking if we can get these again next time we're in London so we can try to cheese coin as well as a different topping.

AD | I love taking Erin to London to see a show an AD | I love taking Erin to London to see a show and last week, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (@cursedchildldn) recently celebrated its 10th anniversary at the Palace Theatre!

We got to see the show 10 years after it first started and managed to catch it before it changes from a 2 part show to a 1 part production in October. We were both completely blown away by how magical the whole show is. There were so many things that we just could not figure out, and have been talking about it days later. 

The great thing about seeing a show in London during the summer is that @londontheatre host an annual Kids Week, where children aged 17 and under can go free to the theatre when accompanied by an adult paying full price. Plus, an additional two children can attend for half price! 

Kids Week tickets are available for selected performances between 20 July – 31 August, only at OfficialLondonTheatre.com.

I've had a really busy month with work, having pla I've had a really busy month with work, having plans with friends and extra driving lessons so I haven't had as much time to devote towards this challenge. Usually I would be a lot more active on Vinted but sadly didn't manage what I wanted to achieve this month. 

I really wanted to get to about £140 this month, so I was a little bit ahead of myself. Really, the monthly target is around £110 but August is going to be a busy month too.

I did book our Eurostar tickets though this month so that did take a chunk out of what I already had saved. This month I'm hoping to get a hotel booked in Paris for a few days before Disneyland. I'm having a bit of trouble deciding where I want to stay though. 

Total saved in July:

Vinted = £70

Sell Your Books = £3.96

eBay = £20.53

Regular savings = £0

Total saved in July = £94.49

Savings so far = £309.55 / £1325

(£183 spent this month on Eurostar)

This year we are so excited to be seeing @cursedchildldn, before it switches over to a 1 part show.

AD | Something we're trying to do more of this yea AD | Something we're trying to do more of this year is to say yes to trying new things, especially when it comes to food. 

We recently visited @phorestaurant for the first time and was so impressed that we already want to go back.

Vietnamese food is new to us but Pho has lots of great dishes to choose from. Staff in Norwich were amazing with recommendations, especially letting Erin know how spicy the kid's curry is! 

Here's what we ate: 
Starters
Chicken wings
Veggie spring rolls 

Mains
Mushroom and tofu Pho
Chicken wok fried noodles 
Chicken Ca-Ri (Erin)

Dessert 
Banana fritters
Pandan waffles 

Pho might not have been on my list of great places for a family meal before but it definitely is now.

Do you have a favourite meal at Pho? What should we try next?

Snacks at the cinema can be so expensive, especial Snacks at the cinema can be so expensive, especially when you add in the cost of the tickets. 

Definitely not just for kids, the Snack It Box is a great value option. 

What does it come with?

🍿 Popcorn - salty, sweet or a bit of a mix

🍫 Chocolate bar or sweets

🥤 Drink - Erin has a Tango Ice Blast and I have something like Tango

Erin and I like different kinds of popcorn, and drinks, so these work out great for us. 2 boxes cost us £14.48 and we try to use our free cinema tickets through Sky when we can to keep the costs down.
I've been to Sheringham so many times but had some I've been to Sheringham so many times but had somehow missed visiting the @petercokeshellgallery_ 

Inside the gallery you'll find around 200 exhibits all made by the actor, playwright and artists, Peter Coke. 

We loved strolling around, taking in the amazing creations and trying to pick out our favourites. We spent time trying to find as many different kinds of shells as we could, always finding something new and interesting to look at.

There's a small shop area if you want to buy a souvenir and you can also visit lifeboat museum  (@hru_lifeboat_sheringham_) next door for free too! 

Opening times - 11am to 3pm depending on the time of year

Price - FREE but welcomes donations
A few months ago Erin started lessons with @eska_k A few months ago Erin started lessons with @eska_karate, and immediately fell in love with it. It didn't take her long to move up to red belt but she's also just done her very first competition.

Although Erin was super nervous beforehand, she took part in an individual Kata competition, placing 2nd and winning a silver medal.

The nerves soon went away and the excitement took over and now, she can't wait to do another one.
Supergirl seems to be getting some awful reviews b Supergirl seems to be getting some awful reviews but me and Erin loved it!

Millie Alcock plays Kara, a superhero who doesn't really want to be. She's troubled, rough around the edges and basically drinks her way through her problems. Erin's words... Mum, she's a mess! That's not a bad thing though because it's really important for kids to see that everyone has things they need to deal with. 

This one has a bit of a Star Wars/ Guardians of the Galaxy feel to it and maybe that's why we liked it so much. We loved the soundtrack, the different kinds of people/ aliens and going on a bit of an in space adventure. 

Of course, Kara's backstory is really interesting and her relationship with her dog, Krypto causes a few tense moments. Erin held my hand quite tightly at a few different bits. There's also quite a lot of swearing and violence but we don't mind that at all!

Have you seen this one yet? What did you think?
AD | Looking for a family day out this summer, pac AD | Looking for a family day out this summer, packed with things to do? @zsebanhamzoo is the place to be!

Spend the day at this amazing zoo, discovering the adorable animals that call it home. Throughout your day you can catch keeper talks, take a ride on the Safari Train, see if you can spot the sloths in the Tropical House and take a break with an ice cream or a delicious lunch. 

Brand new this summer is a giant ferris wheel, where you can get incredible views of the zoo and the animals. Take a pair of binoculars and see what you can spot on the way round. Rides cost £5 each or a family ticket (4) costs £15. 

Kid's tickets are only £1 if you book before 17th July, and there are even evening opening times in August!
