1. Konfidence Baby Swimming Bundle - RRP £50.00

   Posted on 9:37am Wednesday 11th Feb 2015

   We may have mentioned our love of baby swimming once or twice and one of the things we love about our swimming lessons, is that Water Babies always choose pools that are a minimum of 30 degrees or more as little ones can feel the cold when swimming and a shivering baby is usually not a happy one.

   So we have always been a huge fan of the Konfidence range of products for baby swimming and beyond and we love that this remains a family business based in the UK. We are therefore thrilled to be able to offer a Baby Bundle worth £50 to our readers. The prize includes:

   

   • Konfidence’s best-selling Babywarma Wetsuit
   • Konfidence’s one size fits all reusable  AquaNappy
   • Konfidence’s swim school approved Neo Nappy
   • Konfidence’s award winning Roll & Go Changing Mat

    

   The Konfidence Roll & Go Changing Mat is perfect for the poolside and changing room.  It is made from 3mm thick chlorine-resistant neoprene cushioned foam, with an embossed treaded underside, which provides grip so that it won’t slip or slide on wet surfaces.

   

   You have a choice of picking from one of the three colours and all you need to do is enter below:

   

   Good luck!

2. Goodbye Christmas ..... hello pampering!

   Posted on 7:04pm Monday 29th Dec 2014

   Christmas crept up on me this year, don't get me wrong I was obviously insanely organised (as usual) but after our wedding it was suddenly Christmas and we were watching festive TV rather than the usual box sets and sport.

   Sport features quite heavily in our social calendar and whilst I wouldn't have necessarily called myself a sport widow, I have been known to be evicted from my lounge when the lads come round to watch the latest UFC. I am not sure if I am more put out to being moved out of the lounge or whether it is more to do with missing out on the men in shorts (those on the TV not in my lounge you understand).

   So what does a girl need when she is relegated upstairs while the boys are deciding whether the man in the red shorts is going to tap out or whether the man in the blue shorts is skilled in thai kick boxing (!!), well Betfair kindly sent me this hamper to pamper myself with while the male testosterone levels reach new highs downstairs.

    

   It has everything a girl needs, including a hot chocolate drink that apparently the tween neeeeeeeeeeeds. One of my favourite things about my gorgeous Pamper Parcel though, is the ability to pass it on as a random act of kindness to some one else who may just need a little pick me up.

   So next time it is his friends wife's turn to host the UFC male viewing evening, I shall certainly be passing the pampering mantle onto her but in the meantime, I shall look forward to running a bath, lighting a candle and making indulging in a small chocolate drink (just don't tell the tween!).

   So we say goodbye to Christmas TV and it is back to normal ..... anyone for UFC?

3. St Andrews Day : Buyahipflask.com Review

   Posted on 10:30pm Thursday 27th Nov 2014

   You may know that on November 30th the world celebrates St Andrew’s Day, Scotland’s national day. There will undoubtedly be parties galore in Scotland, events around the world and maybe a few wee drams to warm the cockles, given the cold November we are having.

   As I am now married to a Scotsman, this holiday is somehow now more prevalent in our calendar and he is very proud of his heritage. According to Scotland.org "Saint Andrew (who is believed to have later preached around the shores of the Black Sea), was an agile and hardy Galilean fisherman whose name means Strong and who also had good social skills. He brought the first foreigners to meet Jesus and shamed a large crowd of people into sharing their food with the people beside them. Today we might describe him as the Patron Saint of Social Networking!"

   It was through the power of social networking that I came across Buyahipflask.com. I have to admit that I *may* have historically thought that a hipflask was more suited to the older generation but after seeing a fellow blogger at an event with an uber cool hipflask, I suspected I should re-evaluate my opinon.

   Given the chance to review a hipflask, I spent ages browsing round the site and whilst I was tempted by a very cool one for myself, I knew that really I should get one for my very own Scotsman. I know it sounds ridiculous but I love that Buyahipflask are based in Scotland and even more so that their hipflasks are made in the UK.

   

   I chose the 6oz Tartan Round Flask  which retails at a very affordable £27.00 and you get the chance to personalise many of the flasks too. There are so many to choose from that it becomes a little mind boggling but I loved the stylish simplicity of this flask, whilst being a little different to the standard hip flask shape.

   

   All their hip flasks are made from 100% Pewter, which keeps its shine with minimal effort, perfect for me who has minimal time to polish the silverware. (word of warning don't put it next to an emery board in your handbag, as this *may* scuff your shiny flask ..... just a small suggestion). On the subject of my handbag, did I also mention that it fits perfectly in a handbag for a cheeky tipple on a night out?

   

   So what is our verdict?

   What we love:

   • The extensive range of designs
   • The quality
   • The fact they are made in the UK
   • The ease of the site.

    

   What we don't like:

   • That the Scotsman has a hipflask in MY handbag .... I may just fill it with Pinot Grigio instead!
