Today is World Book Day and my son's school, like many others across the UK, have asked the children to go to school dressed as a character from a book.
I personally wanted my son to go dressed as a character from a book he was familiar with and that was appropriate for his age. He's five.
He actually came up with the idea that he wanted to go as a skeleton and Funnybones is a popular book in our...

Ninjago Sensei Wu's Dragon Only £17.50 at Sainsburys, Leigh - and other offers
For any Ninjago fans (or mums of Ninjago fans!), Lego set 70734, Sensei Wu's Dragon has been reduced at Sainsburys, Leigh, even further from the reasonable price of £23.32 to now just £17.50. They only had a couple left and I don't think they'll be around for long! My son's been desperate for this set for a while and I nearly bought it for him at Christmas before deciding it may be a little too...

Walking Journal, 28th January 2016 - Parr Fold Park, Walkden
This morning was a beautiful sunny Winter's morning in Greater Manchester and I made the most of it by taking a walk in the park.I managed a good 30 minutes of really fast paced walking and, boy, could I feel it towards the end! Really reminded me of how unfit I am compared to life pre-pregnancy!
There were some signs that Spring is on it's way with some eager flower shoots appearing through the grass....
3 for 2 on Toys at Boots, Includes Lego, Barbie, Playmobil etc.
This afternoon I called into the Trafford Centre, Manchester for a quick browse. Didn't see much in the sales as they are now starting to finish but one offer that did catch my eye was in Boots. 3 for 2 on toys.
Boots prices can be more expensive than other shops but don't forget if you have an Advantage Card you can collect a good rate of points that can be redeemed against future purchases. And...if...

Getting Back in Shape on a Budget
Before I became pregnant with my second child I did lots of exercise. I went to the gym regularly where as well as using the gym equipment, I would also take part in various fitness classes and go swimming. As my pregnancy progressed I went to the gym less and less and by the time I was 6 months pregnant I decided it was a complete waste of money!
I no longer felt motivated to go and I knew once...

Why I Started This Blog...
When I first started this blog in early January I didn't really expect to get many readers, if any! But a few weeks on and I've been pleasantly surprised by how many views my little blog has received. So if you are reading this...thank you...very big, thank you!
I wanted to write a post about why I was motivated to start this blog as I realised that when I first started I went straight in to posting...

Bargain Board Games (from £1.50) - Tesco, Walkden
After a quiet week last week, this one was a much better start for bargain hunting. It often seems to be that when you searching for offers that are relevant to you they're few and far between, but other times when you just pop to the shop for some milk you see lots of interesting things reduced!
I called in to Tesco, Walkden, this morning and on their clearance aisle next to the toys they had some...

£1 Annuals incl. Star Wars, Minecraft & My Little Pony at Asda, Leigh
My final stop today was at Asda in Leigh. I think I may have found the gift I was looking for with this Lego Creator Go Cart, £5.83 reduced from £9.99. Although I'm still tempted by the Scooby Doo set mentioned in the previous post!
While I was in there I noticed they still had some 2016 Annuals that they were selling off. All now just £1 and included Star Wars, Minecraft and My Little Pony....
Lego, Barbie and Monster High Dolls Reduced at Sainsburys, Leigh
I also popped in to Sainsburys, Leigh, for a few groceries and still on my quest for the perfect (and great bargain!) birthday present I had a look at the toys.
They had more Lego reduced to clear and included some popular sets. Even had my eye on a couple to buy as the gift I was looking for. One being the Scooby Doo Mystery Plane Adventure, 75901. £14.99 reduced from £19.99. Next best price I...
Eye Catching Toys, Home Bargains, Leigh
This afternoon I called into a couple of shops on my way home to look for a birthday present for one of my son's friends. And although I didn't quite find what I was looking for I did see some other toys reduced that others might be interested in. First up I saw this Fisher Price Little People musical pre-school for £19.99, I thought that was quite a good price but after Google-ing it I found it even...

Flash Sales - Don't Panic Buy!
Today I had a a little trip to Manchester city centre, I'd heard a rumour that Boots might be further reducing their remaining sale items today so thought I'd take a look.
The rumour was true! And it seemed everyone else had heard it too! When I got there around 1pm there were hoards of people grabbing reduced stock here there and everywhere!
The shelves were half empty, and impromptu aisles of plastic...
Lego Shop Manchester Sale Items and Frozen Olaf Set Free Gift
I won't only be posting about Lego offers, I promise! I just happen to have come across quite a few good buys recently that I think other people may also be interested in.
Today I went to Manchester city centre and had to call into the Lego shop in the Arndale to pick up a Lego Architecture set for a birthday present. I couldn't find it cheaper anywhere else and as I need it for the weekend I...
