Sheffield Film and Comicon August 2015
On Saturday I finally went to a convention mainly to cosplay, hooray! It’s the first one of the year but hopefully it won’t be the last one. As Bee and I had such a fantastic time at London Film and Comicon we have been desperate to go to another one but with having such busy lives as well as money and time restraints it hasn’t happened. But trust me when I say, we have big plans for making 2016 the year of all the conventions and cosplay, so stay tuned! I travelled down to stay over Friday night however we were only attending the con on the Saturday. I’m glad…

How It Feels to Never Be The One
It’s been a long time since I’ve started typing without knowing where a post is going. But today I decided I just really want to vent to a faceless person rather than have a one on one conversation. I don’t want sympathy, I don’t want someone telling me that how I feel is utter crap. I don’t want someone trying to change my mind. I just want to empty my head in hope that I can function better on a day to day basis. This weekend while miles away from home my first ever crush and first ever heartbreak walked past me at SFCC. He didn’t even recognise me, or…

Travel Content // How I Prepared for My Family Holiday*
This year, my family holiday was great, and the reason it was great is that I prepared in advance! Here’s how; Planning I’m one of those people who have to plan everything out in advance, and it always works for me! It’s too much of a risk to go off on a family holiday without first having a solid plan in mind. Yes, you might tell me that improvisation can be fun. But believe me, it’s not when you have children to think about. First of all, I planned the destination and booked the hotel well in advance, but that’s not all. I also had a look around at what…

Great Holidays for Families with Small Children*
I think it’s a well known fact that I love going on holiday. Actually, not just holidays, I love to travel. We spend so much of our lives stuck in the same place, working more days than we have off, leaving so much of the country we live in unexplored, and even less of the world. For someone who has never had a high paying job, and is now a single mum, I do manage to get out and travel a lot, but I’d say this is down to some rigorous saving strategies. However, with a young child I do have to think carefully about where we’re going to go.…

#Travelodgefoodies – Parmo Recipe, A Taste of the North East
A long time ago (well that’s how it feels now), I lived in Newcastle Upon Tyne. I spent two years there after I’d finished uni working as a barmaid and then a waitress. I loved my time there, Newcastle is city steeped in heritage, a great place to shop and a fantastic night out. I have fantastic memories of these nights out, when I was young and stupid and didn’t come home until dawn. But a night out in Newcastle was never complete without a parmo to eat drunkenly while sat on a kitchen floor. A parmo with extra cheesy chips, there is nothing I loved more while completely intoxicated…

Little Miss Cosplays, Part Two
So last week I shared three of Little Miss’ outfits, or cosplays for when we go to WDW next month. One of her favourite parts of our trip in April was dressing like a princess every day, well a princess or Wendy Darling. Because of this we’re taking it to another level in September. I’m incredibly blessed to know fantastic seamstresses who have have made LM some wonderful outfits for her to wear. Some are pretty accurate, others are altered to make them wearable in the Florida sun. LM spends a lot of time dressing up, so being able to walk around the parks dressed up is something she thoroughly…
