Karrimor X-Lite Comfort Self Inflating Mattress and Gelert Quickpitch Tent.
Camping as a child I recall the fun our family had and I consider this a ‘rite of passage’ to growing up – every child must have at least one week camping with their family!
Personally I am all for bringing the kitchen sink literally. Why rough it when there are so many various camping accessories out there to make this activity as much fun as possible – and as comfortable.
Starting with the tent, our camping experience is easy peasy. We have a Gelert 4 man tent and this tent actually has the words – quickpitch on the label – this is so true for you will have this tent both up and down super quick – it basically pops up!

Croc RainFloe Boots.
Crocs Rainfloe Boots.
Our house is pretty laid back, I mean, we have hens pottering around the back yard so you can’t get more laid back than that. We try to grow our own fruit and vegetables and sometimes this does actually work out!
Living the outdoor life means a good pair of wellington boots is a ‘must’. Our families boots pile up at the back door and they vary in make, design and style, not to mention colour! However, I do have a firm favourite…

Yale Stand Alone Alarm.
We live on the outskirts of a large town and every now and then I hear of a ‘run’ of burglaries in the neighborhood. I am fairly confident our alarm system is up to scratch but what about the toys and gardening equipment outside? For Father’s Day this year I am 100% sure dad will be delighted with his gift – a Stand Alone Alarm from Yale!

Vario Lead System from Flexi.
I adore my little Jack Russel and every shopping trip I take, I always return with either a new lead, a new bed or some little chewy treat for him. I have been through 3 leads to date despite only having the dog just over one year! The first one tended to ‘stick’ when I tried to retract it, the second actually came apart and he ‘ate’ the third one in an attempt to escape so he could go introduce himself to a cat!
When the Vario lead system arrived I was delighted with it. It is strong yet not made of hard plastic like the lead that came apart. Dog leads will be dropped, its inevitable! My 3 kids never return from a walk without the dog escaping and they have to run around a field after him trying to catch the lead. The Vario has yet to show any signs of wear and tear and is as good as new.
The Vario system is by the leading pet company Flexi and it has taken the pet world by storm since its debut at Crufts. Award have been won globally and the success continues to grow and grow.
The many additional accessories which can be bought to compliment this lead allows you to truly make it your own and perfectly suited to the needs of your dog or dogs.
Choice of cord or tape format
Sized in S, M and L, dependent upon the weight of the dog:
Length of lead available in 3m, 5m and 8m
Available in six stylish colour options and attachable LED lighting system
The most values accessory for our use has got to be the Multi box. This handy little attachment is not only perfect for storing doggie treats but it will also hold a few poop bags as well!
If you have a dog and are reading this thinking, ‘I wonder is this any good?’ I urge you to try it and you too will be raving about it. The Vario lead system is the best lead I have used.
Available from leading pet stores across the UK and prices start from £11.89-£36.49.

Camping Specialbuys from Aldi.
Camping, you either love it or hate it. I love it, I think… In fact, ask me again after the summer holidays! We have yet to venture further than the back garden but this summer we have big plans. Kitted out with the necessary accessories I plan to haul the kids from the furthermost Northern point of Ireland to the glorious South. We live on the most beautiful island and it is such a pity the majority of people pay thousands to visit Spain every year. I appreciate the many local attractions and scenery and would love the kids to grow up with a sense of pride from their upbringing on the Emerald Isle.
Working part-time has its benefits as I feel I am ‘there’ for the kids when they need me but financial impact is huge. We are topping up our camping accessories this year from Aldi. Why pay more? Aldi has top quality goods at a fab price. I have proved this over the years and have always been delighted with my purchases.

Jam Plus Wireless Speaker in Pink for Mother’s Day.
I was so excited with this product and have concluded it is a brilliant buy. The Jam Plus Wireless Speaker is the speaker for you if you enjoy listening to music and are looking for excellent sound quality. This speaker is super handy, very portable and has the appearance similar to that of a jam-jar with its cool matching ‘pot’ cover.
A wireless connection can be made from up to 10m away, so this is perfect for taking outside or even just upstairs in your home. The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 4 hours of wireless playback so it’s also a great little speaker for taking travelling, camping and on holiday.
The sound quality is brilliant, and it was hard to believe such sound could be ejected from a small speaker. I love my music and have used this with my smart-phone, I can now listen to my tunes in every room in the house and in the garden. All Bluetooth devices are compatible with this speaker and it can also be used with a 3.5 mm aux-in cable. When using the cable, the speaker delivers up to 12 hours of playback.
Also perfect for younger children and teenagers, the Jam Classic comes in super trendy colours – blue, red, purple, green and grey. However, for Mother’s Day, the colour HAS to be pink!
Available for only £59.99, these are excellent value for money too and a really useful yet ‘trendy’ gift.
Available from HMV and Tesco.

Cat B15 Smartphone.
This phone was MADE for my hubby – or so he thinks! He loves it and has hardly set it down over the last 2 weeks.
The Cat B15 smartphone was on his ‘wish list’ for some time. My man would ‘research’ items, basically, this means he reads every article ever written and every review published before he chooses any gadget!
