So I had the chance to try an really yummy brand of rum called <a href="https://www.arlurum.com/">ARLU</a>. Not a name I knew but excited to try. I love to make cakes and using the rum in those sounded rather nice lol.<br />
I have a bottle of<a href="https://www.arlurum.com/"> ARLU</a> spiced Rum and decided to bake buns.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is the recipe I used .<br />
<br />
Hot Cross buns:<br />
<br />
1/2 tsp salt<br />
2 heaped tsp mixed spice<br />
50g caster sugar<br />
50g chopped butter<br />
200g mixed dried fruit ( pre soaked in the ARLU spiced rum)<br />
7g sachet of easy blend dried yeast<br />
200ml milk<br />
2 eggs<br />
<br />
For the glaze<br />
3 tbsp plain flour<br />
1 tbsp ARLU speiced rum<br />
Honey or golden syrup for brushing.<br />
<br />
Method:<br />
<br />
1. tip the flour into a bowl stirring in the salt, mixed sice and sugar.<br />
2. Rub in the butter with your fingers, next stir in the pre soaked dried fruit, spinkle over the yeast and continue mixing.<br />
3. warm the milk and beat together with the eggs, adding the dried ingredients next.<br />
4. once mixed together to form a moist dough, leave to soak for 5 mns. Then take out of the bowl and cut into 8 equal pieces on a floured surface.<br />
5. shape into buns and place on a baking sheet, cover with cling film and leave in a warm place to double in size ( his will take up to one hr)<br />
6. When the buns are ready, heat oven to 220c/fan 200/gas 7. Mix flour with 1 tbsp water and 1 tbsp of ARLU rum t make a paste, pour into a plastic food bad and make a nick in the corner, pipe crosses on the top of each bun.<br />
7. Bake for 12-15 mins until risen and golden, trim the excess mixture from the buns, then brush all over with the honey or golden syrup. Best served with butter toasted.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope you give them a go and check out all the other ARLU flavours here<br />

I use a lot of online companies that us PDF patterns, that you can print at home. At first they drove me mad as there is a lot of sticking that goes on lol. Plus some companies are better at the set up than others. Some are super easy to put together some are a real pain!<br />
On my internet travels I am always looking for cute patterns for my grandkids, but also as a larger lady plus size patterns, that are not just sacks.<br />
<br />
So I came across one such site called <a href="https://rebecca-page.com/">Rebecca Page</a> and was straight away struck by he style and the range. The kids patterns were bright and fun and the adults range of sizes was fabulous. I bought a couple, they was priced very well and come easy to print with full instructions. I was delighted recently to be asked to be one of their brand ambassadors, and try out patterns before the general release. That way any issues can be ironed out before everyone gets to buy so you can than enjoying your sewing.<br />
Its super nice to be asked as I would buy the patterns myself anyway as I really do like them. So if you love sewing and you want some nice patterns why not have a look. These are a few bits I have made recently from the patterns.<br />

I guess I am not alone at this time with reflecting of life or your life in general. With the terrible events going on all around the world is it any wonder many of us are taking stock of life . I started this blog many years ago and at one time would write daily and enjoy doing it. Then life took over and there just was not enough hours in one day to find time to keep up the hard work it needed. I was going to shut it down but my heart just would not let me , it had been my baby for so long.<br />
<br />
So I have not been out for a month now as I am classed as vulnerable . I didn't go out much before but I did get to see my grandchildren and children, and a quick run to the shops at times. Even I have found it tough being home 24-7 and even worse the heartbreaking need to see my children and grandkids. I worry for myself but I worry more for them and can only hope it is over soon and life can start to recover.<br />
<br />
As I have had time I have got lots of sewing done and lots of cleaning. I have made bags, dolls, shirts, trousers, underwear and tops lol. I wanted to help the NHS as well. My daughter is a nurse and I know just how hard they all work. They were asking for volunteers to make up scrubs for nurse, and I thought that I would be perfect for that. So I am waiting for my first batch to arrive to sew them up, even I make few hopefully it will be useful for the over stretched staff.<br />
<br />
I am going to see if I can make time to write on the blog and get the blog love back. I have connected with so many over the years, so lets make 2020 the year to do that again.<br />
Love to hear what you have been doing to make this isolation time go fast as well.<br />
Hello again xxxx<br />

I think when the sun is out you feel like making the inside of your house fresh too. I love<a href="https://www.aldi.co.uk/coastal-living"> Aldi</a> products as the price is always fair and the products smart and stylish. This week I got to try a couple of items from the Coastal range, a super fresh and clean line of products.<br />
<br />
<br />
Climate Control Duvet<br />
£9.99<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCaVZ2K12r9vjdz4PICMgyqf6AUODEBK2kEfyv3TvkComkw5Hhnlc7EG4kT2VfvUTUTFHfEZij8pHugXheoANOHdKBYmRkSzq02ooS9ZZthl_0-tLGYkcVk-J0XkGFgtpxgY_-5EBu0GU/s1600/Climate-Control-Duvet-Double-A.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1280" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCaVZ2K12r9vjdz4PICMgyqf6AUODEBK2kEfyv3TvkComkw5Hhnlc7EG4kT2VfvUTUTFHfEZij8pHugXheoANOHdKBYmRkSzq02ooS9ZZthl_0-tLGYkcVk-J0XkGFgtpxgY_-5EBu0GU/s320/Climate-Control-Duvet-Double-A.jpg" width="256" /></a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This super soft duvet has been designed to take excess heat and moisture away from the body. Now I have issues at night as I always get over hot. I was impressed with this as I really did feel a look cooler and it did help me sleep. Its ideal for the summer months as it has a tog of 4.5 so its nice and light. You can also wash it which is great. Would be good for a child's bed as well in the single size. Excellent product for the price.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Visage Silver Bathroom Scale </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
£6.99</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJRhYKNY8KHk3G7RZ1W6MmtKNzrIY-Hm5UzAWpZz-uc0QS5z4zkOH5filqZIxy2Hfhc5kqUU_CNVgTzgYxjb_rwcCS3KvW6cw0uAYQiy0slNZWuWezHZz03sAyDlrk98k_Qox3HJJ_plo/s1600/Visage-Silver-Bathroom-Scale-A.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJRhYKNY8KHk3G7RZ1W6MmtKNzrIY-Hm5UzAWpZz-uc0QS5z4zkOH5filqZIxy2Hfhc5kqUU_CNVgTzgYxjb_rwcCS3KvW6cw0uAYQiy0slNZWuWezHZz03sAyDlrk98k_Qox3HJJ_plo/s320/Visage-Silver-Bathroom-Scale-A.jpg" width="256" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was amazed at the price of these scales as they looked so much more expensive. Very stylish and smart they would look fab in any bathroom. They come with a battery which is always a tick for me, and a super clear LCD display. This is easy to read and as it has a step on activation system easy to use. With a 3 year guarantee as well they must be the product for anyone needing scales. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now if they could lose weight for me that would be great ha ha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So get along to your local store or online to check out the full range. There are lots of great items and I know I shall be adding a few. </div>

Nothing beats smelling something that brings back memories. Smells can to that good and bad lol. This is where <a href="http://www.lindseymc.scentsy.co.uk/">Scentsy </a>comes in and I was introduced to the brand by a lovely Independent consultant. This personal service gives you a chance to really get to know the products and you will end up wanting them all.<br />
There is a huge range include<br />
<br />
Wax warmers<br />
<br />
Traditional<br />
<br />
Scentsy wax warmers don't use candles great for safety. The warmers melt the wax using the heat from a low watt light bulb.This means you get scent and also a candle like ambiance with the flames,smoke or soot. They are free standing with a plug and lead. I love these as i really enjoy the candle effect.<br />
<br />
Mini Warmers<br />
<br />
Smaller versions that plug into a wall socket ideal for smaller spaces<br />
<br />
Element Warmers<br />
<br />
Sometimes you want to have the fragrance but no glow, because if you are like me and it was in a bedroom i would never sleep!!<br />
<br />
The range of this warmers is huge and you are sure to find one to fit with your rooms no matter the style of your home. They are safe, are a great price, smell fab and convenience. As my consultant Lindsey told me ' There is no more cat setting his tail alight on open flames'!! Als as the wax burns at a lower temperature there is less chance of damage to furniture , or children getting burnt by open flames or hot wax. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The wax comes in a huge 80 different fragrances and April scent of the month is the yummy Lucky Starfruit really attractive yellow packaging with tones of orange, apricot and starfruit<br />

<br />
Scentsy kids<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.lindseymc.scentsy.co.uk/">Scentsy </a>also has products for the little persons in your life.It has its officially licensed Disney collection which I don't know about you but I love as well.<br />
A firm fave are Scentsy buddies. They are stuffed toys that have a zip pouch that holds your favourite scent pak. A scent pak is a pouch filled with nontoxic fragrance beads. Scent paks can also be used to freshen up drawers ad wardrobes and I was thinking inside a smelly trainer maybe !<br />
<br />
For toddlers and babies: Scentsy sidekicks are pre-scented sensory bears that can attach t prams and car seats They include a teething ring and are BPA and phthalate free.<br />
I totally love the Disney Dumbo Buddy so super cute I want one lol.<br />

Mums are the best and for most of us love a chance to say how much we love and care for her and all she has done. This week we got to try out a fab bottle of Sparkling Rose Blossom wine from<a href="http://www.aldi.co.uk/"> Aldi</a>. Once again they have knocked it out of the park with this wine. Come in a totally fab bottle with a very pretty flower wrap. The pink colour and fizz makes it a very nice drink and I can see it being a hit in the summer as well. Light and delicate it make for a very nice glass indeed. I am sure your mum with love it with lunch or better still a big box of chocolate !<br />

Firstly I had no idea what a 'Blog' was and second was who on earth wants to read anything I write. I went with the flow and with her help and a fab logo made by my talented son Jollyjillys was born. It was a steep learning curve and I know I made a ton of mistakes ( sure I still do lol) but slowly I did learn. Back then people wrote more as an online diary and if you got anything nice you was very happy. Now I think its a full time job for some and good luck to them, I wish I had the time to do that as its so much fun.<br />
<br />
As time has gone on and grandchildren come along spare time in short. These days I think grandparents are used for childcare more and more, so retirement doesn't always mean retirement .<br />
So my blog as slipped into the shadows and only every now and then I pop in to share a fab product or news. It takes so much work to have a successful blog and to keep it successful I just don't have the time to spend on it which is a shame. My son nags me about doing more to mention cake decorating and maybe tutorials but once again its time.<br />
<br />
So his wee post is a kind of toe in the water thing, may a few lines a week and building up to where I used to be posting everyday who knows.<br />
So If you have been reading since the start and are still around I thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you have suggestions on a post then should out and maybe I can drag my brain away from kiddie TV to write something lol.<br />
<br />
As Arnie would say 'I'll be back' <br />

In fact its the first time this winter I did really feel cold. So this new range from<a href="https://www.aldi.co.uk/"> Aldi</a> came along at the right time. Yes it is a ski range but to be fair its great for any winter conditions ski or not. I only got to see a couple of items so go over to the web site or in store to see the full range.<br />
<br />
Knitted Hat £3.49<br />
<br />
I loved this hat as its super warm and cosy. Knitted with a nice fake fur pompom and also lined with a nice fleece lining. Good in size not so big its falling over your eyes but big enough to keep your ears warm. Good quality and great value.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCPUwZkJcaQivxHZBG-M1HpZuQshZg4Qmtyscm0kNnWve7vayoculdxItGYwcFo4bJEo3dbmDrUUFIafVP3SPaK7l1I5HdgSgnxGSkcEie7OlFaNZZ_qZXVPxVeojOlSGnU5GnlYozLEM/s1600/Pink-Faux-Fur-Pompom-Hat-A.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCPUwZkJcaQivxHZBG-M1HpZuQshZg4Qmtyscm0kNnWve7vayoculdxItGYwcFo4bJEo3dbmDrUUFIafVP3SPaK7l1I5HdgSgnxGSkcEie7OlFaNZZ_qZXVPxVeojOlSGnU5GnlYozLEM/s320/Pink-Faux-Fur-Pompom-Hat-A.jpg" width="256" /></a></div>
<br />
Jersey Snood £2.99<br />
<br />
This is fab not just for woman. Soft but cosy it keeps your neck warm without adding bulk. Comes in other colours and is great for the price<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7gArqoBmr0X-u6ovP03YOmPvLrF2_pWXxpiylKKi8EVMkH9MVXqtzmK0MCYgVSKEY1o_Jq88bS8lcOK9yrBdL5fu4BrbAEjyc0FTmHTArsbh7c9lyLQMiTJQK01m_pUXM18v8_MGu9jU/s1600/Grey-Adults-Jersey-Headwear-A.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7gArqoBmr0X-u6ovP03YOmPvLrF2_pWXxpiylKKi8EVMkH9MVXqtzmK0MCYgVSKEY1o_Jq88bS8lcOK9yrBdL5fu4BrbAEjyc0FTmHTArsbh7c9lyLQMiTJQK01m_pUXM18v8_MGu9jU/s320/Grey-Adults-Jersey-Headwear-A.jpg" width="256" /></a></div>
So just a tease of the range which is so fair priced it can save you a fortune if you are off to ski or just wanting to keep warm. Check out the range online or in store .<br />

I think that it comes from my mum who used to make a huge effort to make it special for me every year. Mum also love a nice looking table and I take after her with that idea. Yes you have to have great food but to walk in a room and see a beautiful table is also important.<br />
You also know what a huge fan of <a href="https://www.aldi.co.uk/">Aldi </a>I am so the chance to look at some items that combine my two faves was a real plus.<br />
Aldi has a huge range of Winter products and the table accessories are great, and not just for Christmas. So this is what I got to try!<br />
<br />
Crofton Round Divided Serving Dish £6.99<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZj9HYzGvAqYQY2QU-FomkDS_CYbTucUTP-SMZbWlTuIKHRcYMkptAOIHWpcOr7hTku4LZnlhjn1IcWDlE0xjaQMxDQr-0Og48PmUNWQaIf4Ifx0fhdLWSjYkHa4wC_ydVbhOyN_bPUDo/s1600/dish+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="512" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZj9HYzGvAqYQY2QU-FomkDS_CYbTucUTP-SMZbWlTuIKHRcYMkptAOIHWpcOr7hTku4LZnlhjn1IcWDlE0xjaQMxDQr-0Og48PmUNWQaIf4Ifx0fhdLWSjYkHa4wC_ydVbhOyN_bPUDo/s320/dish+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
This is a really fab china dish. Very heavy so a quality product ! I was impressed. Two sections which are nice to serve two vegetables or any thing really. Comes in three colours all of which are great. Even the red can be used all year round. Dishwasher safe which is always a plus!<br />
<br />
Electric Pepper or salt Mill £6.99<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkKmW7v91-y_eLEWpM8BR1uNtZkaC5lnh5-uB48650p6rxz1tNsU-hGl_JZtKnH43NqgoEa4DQr5S0-_8J1AZbIXYruMc3I95RRHUzaFa5h_aM-c9ZxMAJmBIL778RVZOsFZjqH3tCU5s/s1600/Crofton-Electric-Salt-Or-Pepper-Mill-A+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkKmW7v91-y_eLEWpM8BR1uNtZkaC5lnh5-uB48650p6rxz1tNsU-hGl_JZtKnH43NqgoEa4DQr5S0-_8J1AZbIXYruMc3I95RRHUzaFa5h_aM-c9ZxMAJmBIL778RVZOsFZjqH3tCU5s/s320/Crofton-Electric-Salt-Or-Pepper-Mill-A+%25281%2529.jpg" width="256" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I always have an issue with salt and pepper ! I either get too much or too little or I drop it in my dinner . So these smart and stylish mills are fab for that as one button press and you are sorted. Smart enough to sit on the table and best part they come with batteries, how great is that.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
<br />
I love a bit of sparkle and this lovely table runner has just that. Decent size and looks great on a table as is or on top of a table cloth. Very stylish and the sparkle is delicate so not too much. Also machine washable so when someone pour gravy over it your safe!<br />
<br />

<br />
To go with your lovely runner they also have some fab fabric napkins. Excellent quality and with the same delicate sparkle . You can't buy one without the other because they look so good together.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I know I have one and I bet you have one ........ yes those shallow gravy boats that hold nothing and slop over the table at one pour! So I really clapped my hands at this one. Smart and stylish and would look great on any table. Designed to keep the gravy hotter longer , although in my house it not an issue as its gone so fast!<br />
<br />
Reversible Placemat and Coaster Set £4.99<br />
4 In the set<br />
<br />

<br />
I loved these super practical placemats and coasters. One side is a very pretty sparkly effect which the other a more plain , so giving you table use. I thought the quality was excellent very sturdy and great value.<br />
So I am all set , well my table will be for the big day. There is still time to run to the shops and get yours so don't waste time go ASAP.<br />

In my time I have tried every craft I can. Some successfully and some not but I always give it a go. As you may also know if you visit often, I do love <a href="http://www.aldi.co.uk/">Aldi</a>. So when I get a chance to combine two favourites its a very good day indeed!<br />
The Christmas crafting at <a href="http://www.aldi.co.uk/">Aldi</a> has a huge range of products and I would go so far to say there is something for everyone. A lot of the items would make great gifts or stocking fillers for a keen crafter or someone who is wanting to try out a new skill. So I got to try the following<br />
<br />
So Crafty -My First Crochet Kit £8.99<br />
<br />
I love this little kit so much. Comes in a sturdy old fashioned suitcase style box., which I think is worth the money on its own. It contains everything you need to get you started with crochet. Yarn, felt, hooks, needles, stuffing, tape measure and instructions. Great little projects like a scarf for teddy or a pencil case, and a few other things. For the slightly older child 8+ but I am sure even younger if an adult took care of everything inside the case. Really sweet and great value.<br />

. Kirstie Allsopp Make our own Pompom Wreath £7.99<br />

I think this one is great. I love wreaths and have lots every year. Why limit yourself to a door I hang them on the walls like pictures . This one is super fun and modern. Like the other kit its comes with everything you need. Rattan Wreath, pompom makers x3, yarn and ribbon . The instructions are all on the box and are simple to follow and understand. Even when you are done you can use the pompom maker to do others for different projects. You can even take the pompoms off next year and do a fresh colour if you wanted.<br />

I love to be warm and cosy and to be able to wrap up and be snug. So when I heard about<a href="http://www.aldi.co.uk/"> Aldi's</a> new Winter Home items I was very excited. Plus we have Christmas coming up so everyone always needs a great gift. I do love<a href="http://www.aldi.co.uk/"> Aldi</a> and I think they have a great range of items to please everyone. So I was lucky to try out three items.<br />
<br />
Ladies Loungewear £13.49<br />
<br />
These are super soft and super comfy. Nice and thick and they look far more expensive than their real price. I soft velvet type fabric which is also warm, they fit well and ideal for those lazy days of relaxing. Plus smart enough that if someone arrived you would look fit to see them !<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Blue Ladies Loungewear Set" src="https://cdn.aldi-digital.co.uk/Blue-Ladies-Loungewear-Set-A.jpg?o=cTz8bzNQnnRVqgXPzuoUDyGw43cj&V=2yf0&w=200&h=250&p=2&q=88" /></div>
<br />
<br />
Slipper Socks £5.99<br />
<br />
I suffer with cold feet so I am always keen to find something to really keep my toes warm. These fit the bill just right! Double lined being knitted outside and warm fluffy fleece lining inside . Non slip soles as well so super safe. Ideal for a small gift but one that any lady will be glad of.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Avenue Ladies' Glitter Socks 2 Pack" src="https://cdn.aldi-digital.co.uk/Ladies-Glitter-Socks-2-Pack-A.jpg?o=Ta4ydpxjgn9Es%40I%24072iCplhayYj&V=zdBa&w=200&h=250&p=2&q=88" /></div>
<br />
Chunky Knitted Blanket Scarf £8.49<br />
<br />
I adore this chunky scarf. I love the colour which I think Aldi call pink but I would say a lush raspberry colour, to the warm cosy feel. So thick you would never be cold wearing it either around your neck or around your shoulders. Now this really is a great gift and I know I am going to buy another in a different colour as they are so great.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

My husband does all the shopping but brings me the news and even rings me to show me new finds . So I was delighted to look at a couple of items from the <a href="http://www.aldi.co.uk/">Aldi</a> Winter Home Range. Anyone who knows me will also know I love winter. I love being home and being cosy and warm, so this got my interest.<br />
We got to look at two from the range ( there are loads more ) at home.<br />
<br />
Faux Sheepskin Rug £14.99<br />
<br />
This is a lovely soft rug. Really deep fake fur which to be honest give it a quality far beyond the price. We had a really yummy soft dusty pink which was great as my granddaughter's bedroom had been decorated and it went so well. She wanted to sleep on it and not in bed as it was so soft !<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Wood Burner Lantern £9.99<br />
<br />
We do not have a fire and I dream of a real fire and sitting watching it burn. As we have no chimney its never going to happen so I love to have lights that give that effect. This lantern does just that. It looks stylish and gives off a lovely warm gentle glow to the room. Only one slight thing was to put batteries in you need to unscrew the battery compartment. I must say I did struggle with this as he screw was really tight, but the lantern is so worth it .<br />
<br />

I think since I was a young child it was always a magical time of year for me. My Mum would go out of her way to make it special and would always leave me a letter from Santa. I would contain personal stuff about my family or things I had done and I would get so excited . Hopefully over the years they were small I tried to do that with my own children.<br />
<br />
Now life has moved on and I was looking for a way to add to the event this year for my Grandchildren, as I want them to grow up with the magic all over again.<br />
So I came across a great site on the Internet called <a href="http://www.laplandmailroom.com/">Lapland mailroom</a> and I was like a little kid again , all excited about a letter from Santa. I have to be honest and say I did at one point consider sending myself one ha ha ha! It is so simple and easy to do. I just logged onto to the site and was given a choice of a few types of letter. You can see what the wording is in each letter so its super easy to pick your fave.<br />
<br />
<br />
Then its just a matter of typing in your child name and details. You can even add in pets, friends who ever you wants. Right at the end you can put a message about something special that may have happened during the year, how fab is that.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKzKQ8C9f4W3bfmsV3Az7RE-dD6Gx3SVE3EWv3sSzoZEGVh49dS8i6BtSHMgoiW4JjmUaIZYeUT6EPNGCYrBmmVl1Mru8GqJEc43isQ4RTsQe626X7izNYYScL58LMkw-52lCOny9l29o/s1600/santa+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKzKQ8C9f4W3bfmsV3Az7RE-dD6Gx3SVE3EWv3sSzoZEGVh49dS8i6BtSHMgoiW4JjmUaIZYeUT6EPNGCYrBmmVl1Mru8GqJEc43isQ4RTsQe626X7izNYYScL58LMkw-52lCOny9l29o/s320/santa+6.jpg" width="250" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
At the end you get a chance to read your letter and check all the information. Its very easy to edit and you can keep going back and forward until you are happy with the result. When you are all done you get to see your final letter which is really good. Anything you want to change can still be done , but then one you are ready you can pay.<br />
After paying you get a confirmation straight away .<br />

A really cute little pool which is ideal in size for a baby. Super fast to set up and use. Comes in its own carry bag which can also be used to carry water in. Its small so as I said fast to set up and easy to clean and put away. We are going to the beach in two weeks and I will be taking this for my one year old grandson to play in.<br />

Mr Jollyjilly and myself do rather enjoy a small glass of wine at times. I have issues with allergies so I have to be very careful. I am also keen recently to improve my life style and source more organic products. So we got to try some wines from the<a href="https://www.aldi.co.uk/"> Aldi </a>Vegan Wine Range. So many people are now vegan or vegetarian boring foods or drinks are something of the past. Now you can buy a whole range of wines from Reds to whites and at a price range to fit with everyone. So we got to try.<br />

This is something we both enjoyed . A crisp , fresh white from South Africa. It had just a great taste of grapefruit with a wee hint of pineapple really yummy. I can see us enjoying it at all sorts of occasions as it was so nice, and such a great price.<br />

<br />
One again Mr's favourite red. This one is aged for 12 months in Oak barrels , which I think is amazing. It had a really fruity flavour with a hint of cherries. We thought it would taste great with any meal , but fab with cheese .<br />

<br />
<br />
Comes from a family run winery who have made it their life's work to growing their grapes without herbicides or pesticides . Really lovely and light and I would drink it any time. Saying that it would be great with starters or even with puddings. A great all rounder and a fab price.<br />
<br />
Hope you check out the range at Aldi and you can find more at their web site.<br />

Mr was impressed with this beauty. It is not too huge and heavy but really does the job. Wood, plastic and metal prove no problem at all. Ideal for any job around the house or garden, in fact it can even be used on stone. Comes with a box with drill bits in and a very handy bag to keep it all safe in. Would be a great gift idea as well.<br />

<br />
<b><u>Rugby Fleece £12.99</u></b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My husband was really happy with this . We felt the quality was great and a nice warm but not too heavy. Ideal for under a coat or on its own in warmer months. The size was really good ours was a size Large and it fitted my husband ok not loose but very wearable. Now considering he normal wears and XL or a 2XL the size was a little larger but still great. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><u> Men's Hoody £14.99</u></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi47FNpdXHIFNaE_2aCmyr5xCPjbB0s464r3JWQWyxMJpgPtr98n9f22lBl2LpP2TQOT3ahBi5OBTgbn_vtizztYxyS7MkOqiiZJpjehEhbUGvsdypj4vM1EetTTRRL3s-d7Z8_3FzZcv4/s1600/Rugby+Hoody+%25284%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1147" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi47FNpdXHIFNaE_2aCmyr5xCPjbB0s464r3JWQWyxMJpgPtr98n9f22lBl2LpP2TQOT3ahBi5OBTgbn_vtizztYxyS7MkOqiiZJpjehEhbUGvsdypj4vM1EetTTRRL3s-d7Z8_3FzZcv4/s320/Rugby+Hoody+%25284%2529.jpg" width="229" /></a></div>
Another great item. Very heavy and well made a nice quality product you would expect to pay much much more for. Once again great on size . For the price really amazing.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Children's T shirt £4.99</u></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRAppjzCI0qnYdAn4COkhdOP2SXx17nLnmSFPQjWYe3yhldDV95cgiLWMCtAnm-qgGBcJq-dfys9KmBmDLE5WFEVjt9afGFw0wyoQH2VP47E0C5gJ1a438X2mG2Y50aDuQa8xO8Cf_XUc/s1600/Childrens+Rugby+TShirt+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1268" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRAppjzCI0qnYdAn4COkhdOP2SXx17nLnmSFPQjWYe3yhldDV95cgiLWMCtAnm-qgGBcJq-dfys9KmBmDLE5WFEVjt9afGFw0wyoQH2VP47E0C5gJ1a438X2mG2Y50aDuQa8xO8Cf_XUc/s320/Childrens+Rugby+TShirt+%25282%2529.jpg" width="253" /></a></div>
This is a really good quality T shirt. Thick and soft you can feel it is made well. Lovely colour and I think it will really wash well. I think the children's may come up a little small. I had 5/6age and it fitted my grandson who is 4 well, but at this price buy a few to cover all the ages .<br />
<br />
<b><u>Rugby Beanie £4.99</u></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis-JNhkHKMIeriAZn8XEzhip3Zl4xYcmhgcsm1CAeV_Dcd7UNrhYWbe1Oayd4-tfQwxzoMTLJizkx8OIvC1xVR5-8JTvM2jZ46LZwg9o5umSzmitomHjzGFFa96mqtoOHSxb7lkCHotBo/s1600/EC_WU0518RugbyBeanie_PCM78040.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1311" data-original-width="1600" height="262" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis-JNhkHKMIeriAZn8XEzhip3Zl4xYcmhgcsm1CAeV_Dcd7UNrhYWbe1Oayd4-tfQwxzoMTLJizkx8OIvC1xVR5-8JTvM2jZ46LZwg9o5umSzmitomHjzGFFa96mqtoOHSxb7lkCHotBo/s320/EC_WU0518RugbyBeanie_PCM78040.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Its still cold so I think its going to be a little while before we can forget these for the summer. Once again a quality product. Heavy and thick you can just tell it will keep your head warm anywhere. Stock up now for winter .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The whole range is available in store and online while stocks last from the 1st February. I would get them fast as its a really great quality range.</div>

Well Christmas is nearly here and I am sure everyone is rushing around trying to do all the last bits and bobs.

Well traditionally is been used to describe British people being resolute and unemotional in the face of adversity. Does that also read that we are boring or carry no emotion? I am of the opinion that it does not mean that at all. I think I am emotional I am caring and kind as much as I can be. However I am also guilty of pretending I can manage when deep down I am drowning . My favourite saying is ' I am fine don't worry' but really I mean help me please. So maybe I do suffer that 'Stiff Upper Lip' after all.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think its great to be strong and stand up for what you think is right but not to say ' I am ok' when you are not. Seek help if you need and don't be too proud to as for it . I am going to work on that idea what wonder what you think about ' British stiff upper lip'?</div>

This week we got to try their New Maple Mini Bagels. Yummy little bites of low fat goodness.<br />
<br />
To make it all the better there is a competition to create a dish or creation around Halloween or Bonfire night for your family and friends.<br />
Well its been a hectic couple of weeks here so not much time to really get my thinking cap on.<br />
First my husband , my granddaughter and I enjoy some yummy chocolate while we came up with our idea.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So we decided on a yummy buttered bagels with a homemade custard. I cut them into half and buttered well . Then laid them face down and then made up a custard with eggs and milk and some sugar. This was poured over the top.<br />
I then cooked it in the oven until the egg custard was set. Well I can tell you it was yummy and perfect for a chilly night in bowls with maybe a dash of cream.<br />
<br />

So when I was asked to read about this worthwhile campaign I was very happy to do so.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.tilda.com/">Tilda</a> rice has announced that they will be carrying on their work with the United Nations World Fod Programme in 2017. Global priority being given to the project ' Mums Helping Mums' campaign.<br />
<br />
Tilda 'Mums Helping Mums' campaign is the start of a three year commitment helping the WFP's Mother 7 Child Nutrition programme. In September and October the Tilda will be donating nutrition boosting meals to new or expectant mothers where its needed most. So for every specially marked pack of Tilda Pur Basmati 1kg and 5kg, and Tilda steamed Pure Basmati pouch, Tilda will provide at least one nutrition boosting meal, helping towards a better start for newborns. Tilda has a wonderful target of 1.9m nutrition boosting meals in 2017.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
This will also be supported by a 'Mums Helping Mums' cookbook, featuring recipes donated by some of the UK's favourite mums and foodies, and also well known names.<br />
The cook book is hopefully going to inspired UK mums to get in and start cooking. You can go to Tilda.com to download the cook book. It really is full of yummy ideas and I would say they are not hard to make an do look tasty.<br />
<br />
There was so many yummy ideas but we love a curry so went for<br />
Anjum Anand's Cumin flavoured chicken curry.<br />
The full recipe can be found in the cook book but it was simple and fast and we really enjoyed it.<br />
<br />
