The year of the squeeze... that’s definitely som The year of the squeeze... that’s definitely something we’ll be looking at this year.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although we already have holidays booked, we are trying to cut down in a few different areas this year. After working out what we need for our Florida holiday next year, and us buying a car soon, we just can’t afford to do everything.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve already cancelled our Apple TV subscription as we just don’t use it and we’re planning on fewer, or cheaper days out during the year. Hopefully, we can save bigger days out for school holidays.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you cutting down on anything this year?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #YearOfTheSqueeze #Budgeting #SavingMoney #MoneySaving #BeFrugal
Do you have a go to restaurant? Whenever we’re Do you have a go to restaurant? Whenever we’re in London we always go to @VapianoUK on Tottenham Court Road as it’s only a minute away from the tube station. I first discovered Vapiano when I went to Helsinki years and years ago. The pizza and pasta is cooked fresh and there are so many delicious options. Erin’s especially fond of the children’s pizza which looks like a bunny! #Vapiano #LondonFood #VapianoUK #VisitLondon #LondonForFamilies @VisitLondon #FreshPasta
Last weekend Erin completed the stage she was in a Last weekend Erin completed the stage she was in at swimming. Today, she moves up to Stage 3 and changes lesson days, times and teacher!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This isn’t a bad thing though as her teacher will now be the one she used to have, the one she loves! It’s safe to say Erin’s a bit excited about going swimming after school. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #SwimmingLessons #LearnToSwim #GrowingUp #ChildSwimmingLessons
The show that nearly didn’t happen... Just befo The show that nearly didn’t happen... Just before Christmas so many London shows got cancelled and it was very hit and miss whether or not we’d actually get to see @frozenlondon. I think we were lucky our tickets were for the first day back after Christmas so it did go ahead. This was Erin’s first West End show and what an experience it was. She barely took her eyes off the stage from the minute it started and came out singing. It’s worth noting that the theatre ask children (and adults) not to sing or talk through the show. It’s not like a panto where you are encouraged to join in. This is something we prepared Erin for beforehand though and she was so well behaved! Erin loved it so much that she’s already asking to go and see something else the next time we’re in London. #FrozenLondon #LetTheStormRageOn #Frozen #FrozenTheMusical #VisitLondon #London #alondonWestEnd
Covent Garden at Christmas is absolutely magical. Covent Garden at Christmas is absolutely magical. I made sure we had time for a quick visit on our last trip to London. It was on our way to see @frozenlondon anyway. @coventgardenldn #VisitLondon @VisitLondon #LondonForFamilies #CoventGarden #London
Something I love about a New Year is getting a new Something I love about a New Year is getting a new planner and making lots of lovely plans.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My first trip away this year is a solo one to London to see friends and I can’t wait. We also have some great breaks in the UK to look forward to this year with a return to Haven, Potters and finally getting to Butlins after having it booked for years but rescheduling a few times.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ John often tells me we have too many holidays booked but I just don’t think that’s possible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you going away anywhere this year?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #NorfolkBloggers #FamilyTravel #TravelPlanning #2022Travel #PottersResort #Haven #Butlins #TravelBlogger
Do your children have a Nintendo Switch?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’ve loved playing ours recently, with Erin getting some awesome games for Christmas. I have to admit, Animal Crossing has slightly taken over and we haven’t even played some of the others yet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @nintendouk #NintendoUK #NintendoSwitch #AnimalCrossing #NewHorizons #ACNH
AD | Press stay You know one of the things I like AD | Press stay You know one of the things I like the most about going away? A hotel breakfast! During our recent stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton London West End the breakfast was amazing. There was absolutely everything we could have wanted. Cooked options like sausages, eggs and mushrooms as well as plenty of other choices and there really was something for everyone. Erin loved being able to choose from things like Kellogg's cereals, fresh fruit and even hot pancakes. Not only was the food some of the best I’ve had for breakfast in a hotel but the service was amazing. Staff made a big deal out of Erin and made sure to include her when asking us about drinks etc. and that goes a long way with me. #Doubletree #Hilton #VisitLondon #WestEndHotel #WestEnd #FamilyTravel #LuxuryHotel #LondonForFamilies @doubletree @dtlondonwestend
I love a mid-week trip to the cinema, child free! I love a mid-week trip to the cinema, child free! This week, while we were in Norwich for John to get his booster we went to Vue to see Spider-Man No Way Home. We were torn about whether to see this or The Matrix and I'm so glad we picked this. What a film. No spoilers from me but wow... I want to see it again already. #NorfolkBloggers #Norwich #VueNorwich #spidermannowayhome #MarvelFilm #Cinema #Vue
AD | Press stay London... a city we’ve been to AD | Press stay London... a city we’ve been to so many times but barely scratched the surface of. We always find that having the right base helps us to have the best trip and the DoubleTree by Hilton London West End was in such a great location, being only a 10 minute walk away from Covent Garden. We were spoiled with a King Junior Suite, complete with seating area, work space and incredibly comfortable beds. Little extras like a complimentary stocked mini fridge and fresh fruit platter and chocolates on arrival made our stay super special. DoubleTree by Hilton London West End is a fantastic choice if you’re looking for somewhere for a special occasion in London. Review up on the blog if you fancy finding out more! #Doubletree #Hilton #VisitLondon #WestEndHotel #WestEnd #FamilyTravel #LuxuryHotel #LondonForFamilies @doubletree @dtlondonwestend
When do your kids go back to school?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Erin is back today after Christmas break and she has a bit of a longer one then normal. Year 1 children are having 1 day a week where they finish at 3:45 instead of at normal time to do additional phonics work.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A longer first day will definitely be a shock to the system but we’ve had such a fun Christmas break and I can’t wait for February half term now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ChristmasBreak #FebruaryHalfTerm #BackToSchool #NorfolkBloggers #Norwich #TunnelOfLight
Do you make New Year’s resolutions?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s not something for me. I’m more likely to not do whatever I try to commit to if I make it into a big thing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #HappyNewYear #NorfolkBloggers #MidiDress #Resolutions #NewYear #2022
