We don’t celebrate Halloween. You can read why here but despite Boo attending a Catholic school, it seems they turn a blind eye to the meaning behind it and are throwing a Halloween disco. Not one to deprive her, I decided bats were the least Halloween-like because we actually have them in our garden so…
There is one thing I have been dreading since we went to school at the beginning of September and that is the head lice email. It just fills me with dread. I never had them as a child and I don’t know why, but I think any child under, say five, is just too young…

The last time I can remember visiting a Beefeater restaurant, the logo looked like a Pacman and I got a free cup with a special hole on the top for a straw. When we were invited to review the newly refurbished Micklehead Green in St Helens, we went along not knowing what to expect. The…
You know when you go to posh restaurants and they write happy birthday on your plate in chocolate or in nice coffee shops, words like tirimasu are carefully scrolled on your saucer?
