This Week #13


I've been ill again this week which has really sucked. Marianna chose this week to finally learn to crawl so is in need of constant vigilance. Constant. Vigilance.

☆ READING: Date Magazine from January 1961. You can find the original, along with a whole bunch of magazines and comics, over on my eBay.

☆ WRITING: A Guide to Rainbow Merchandise. I've bought Marianna a set of soft toys and some of the annuals for her birthday. 

☆ WATCHING: Toy Story 1 & 2 on TV. I'd forgotten how funny they are!

☆ LISTENING: Christmas songs. Check out my top twelve.

☆ WEARING: Pyjamas.

☆ EATING: Cereal. 

☆ FEELING: Sick. :(

      It really does! I am feeling quite a lot better, thanks - spent today catching up on all the housework that had piled up in the interim...

    I hope you feel better! I've also been ill last week but tons better now. Toy Story 1 & 2 are great films - not too bothered about the third one if I'm honest. And uh oh to the crawling! All fun and games now!! :)

      I'm feeling a lot better thanks :) Haha, I know - she has developed an obsession with my laptop cable. Wherever I put it, she isn't far behind!

Simply Cook Review

I kept seeing ads and deals for Simply Cook everywhere, so as there was a special offer on at OhMyDosh! Rewards (£3 for the box and £3.50 cashback) I figured I had nothing to lose by giving it a try. What Is It? Recipe kits packed into boxes which fit through your letterbox. The usual price is £9.99 for a kit of 4, with each one serving 2-4 people depending on your serving sizes. All you need to do is buy the fresh ingredients required and follow the instructions. Here is Simply Cook's own helpful diagram: Does It Work? For me, as the person just eating it, it was awesome. Everything tasted great - the mushroom penne in particular was so good I went back for seconds - and I liked that the sauces weren't as rich as Anthony would usually make them. For Anthony, who cooked them, they weren't as impressive. He complained that the food was bland and that it was actually quite a lot of faff, as Lidl didn't stock everything we needed which meant another trip ou
