Win Swim Shop Goodies


SwimShop Learn to Swim.jpg

Hey guys and girls, I have a post for you today about swimming,
there is also a giveaway aswell so remember to read on and enter.
this information will be helpful to you and your kids and other family members.


So july is here and the summer holidays are approaching which means family time.
Holidays abroad where there will be sun sea and sand and swimming pools.
Even if you are not travelling abroad you may visit a local pool near to where you live.


Studies have found that 57% of children aged between 7-11 cannot swim in the uk.
this could be many factors such money, or even parents too busy working to take kids swimming or even kids finding it hard to get the concept of it.


Whatever the reason for children not been able to swim, it's never too late to learn.
There is also some adults who cannot swim as well which is also very common as well.


I myself can swim but not as well as other adults because i rarely find the time to go.
But even when I have the time to go I have found things always crop up expensive bills come in.
But Chloe still goes swimming as her school have a pool which is the same school i went to as a child, the same school where I was taught to swim.

Below is some information


57% of children age 7-11 do not know how to swim.
This is astonishing since under the national curriculum all schools are required to teach children to swim a distance of 25 metres confidently using a range of strokes so that they can safely rescue themselves from drowning.


It is estimated that children require at least 25 hours of lessons to swim confidently a distance of 25 metres. Primary schools are offered 18 hours of swimming lessons per child a year, way below the recommended hours. If hours were raised to 25 across all primary schools as standard the number of children who can swim would rise by 200,000.


Many schools are unaware of their student’s ability to swim. The Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) suggest that swimming should come under the physical education budget and be taught as a requirement much like any other subject.


As well as a lifesaving skill the ability to swim has vast health benefits and is one of the few sports you can continues to partake in into old age.


Take a look at this wonderful Fun Family Swimming Games PDF download full of games you can enjoy with your children to make them feel more confident in the water.

Yonderland Series 2


Hey guys and girls and yonderland fans I have some juicy news for you.
I was invited my Mumsnet and yonderland, and thought hey will be a good field trip for me.
So I also took shane and chloe with me as mumsnet said I can bring a plus 2.
So on saturday 27th june I traveled to the 5 star soho hotel in soho london.

Before We Start

I am a member of the mumsnet bloggers network Research panel,
a Group of Parent Bloggers, who have volunteered to
review products, services, and brands For Mumsnet.

I have not paid for the product, or to attend the event.
I have editorial control and retain Full Editorial Integrity.

The Journey To London

Taken on my samsung galaxy S3

The journey to soho was a bit hectic although I Love london it was a bit scary,
I am not a fan of the tube and travelling can be daunting for me at times.
But first of all we had to top up our oyster cards £15 on each to make sure we had enough.
Then we had to take a bus to the local train station which is only up the road.



Chloe, Taken on my samsung galaxy S3

We then had to wait for a train to elephant and castle,
The train journey wasn't to bad me my hubby and chloe had fun.
Taking photos on the camera and just enjoying the comfort.

Once we arrived at Elephant and castle,
We had to walk to catch a tube train to charing cross.
The tube was a little daunting but wasn't to bad only had to go a few stops.
But it was very very warm even though it wasn't too busy it felt hot and stuffy.
Once we finally arrived at charing cross we made our way to exit.

Shane then had to get maps up on his phone.
we all began to walk for about 15-20 mins.
walking up roads crossing roads walking up more roads.
To our relief we finally walked up the last road.

We Finally Got There




Anyway once we arrived at The Soho Hotel
we walked through the door walked over to the reception.
We then said hello we are here for the yonderland event, they gave us directions so we walked across the lobby through a double door and down some stairs.

Someone then greeted us and handed us our passes to wear for the event.
We was A bit early but which was not to bad as I got talking to another blogger in the lobby.
Vicky from Life Of My Family And Me who is very lovely feel free to read her blog.



Anyway when it was time to go in we headed to a room which was small but looked lovely.
There was a mini bar with refreshing cold drinks and lovely bar staff who was very polite.
We had a drink and mingled with the cast of yonderland, and other bloggers who attended.
We also mingled with the Cast of Yonderland who were very friendly.

Photo's With The Casts











Family Entertainment


We Also got to have our photo taken on the green screen and had a mini gif image made.
Which was pretty cool and kept a few of the children and adults entertained.
They also gave us a photo print out to keep also which was a lovely idea.


A while later we all went through to the cinema screening room which looked amazing.
We all sat down to watch yonderland series 2 episode 1 and 2.
The whole room was giggling and was really enjoying it.

Without giving too much away

Debbie an everyday mum goes on an adventure!
But her family do not know about her strange job as world saver.
But husband peter is very paranoid about the kitchen cupboard.
As strange things keep occurring !


Sneak Peak Yonderland Series 2 Trailer

Will debbie’s family find out about her job?
Where will the adventure take debbie?
Your have to tune in to find out !!


bearing in mind I have never seen yonderland before due to not having sky.
I really enjoyed it there was some really funny parts in fact there was a few.

After the screening

The cast of yonderland sat down and got ready for us to ask questions.



Chloe asked
Q:How did you get here?
The the cast replies were the following.
Bike,
Helicopter,
Car,
Tube,
Another dimension.



I Also Asked A Question!



Q "If you could have any actors or actresses in yonderland who would you have"?
The casts of yonderland then replied with a few well known names such as

Mackenzie Crook,
Sean Bean,
Harrison Ford,
David Bowie,
Bob Dylan 
(labyrinth is an inspiration)


Someone else then asked 
Q “ So Why Did You Make Yonderland?


A “To make people laugh, And it is good because we are good friends.
The six of us write the scripts together and all work together"


So once the screening finished etc we walked back to main room.
We had another drink and some lovely canapes which went down a treat.
As time was getting on abit we had to leave I was handed a goodie bag.
Which contained a now tv box which will come in handy because we don't have sky at the moment and it would be good to get the channel to watch yonderland because we enjoyed it.

chloe did not wanna go home
Anyway the journey home was a little longer because it was the same day as gay pride.
We had to walk past so many crowds even though it put strain on journey home.
I didn't mind too much because it was nice to see so many people smiling.
loads of lovely costumes and very colourful even saw men wearing high heels.
Thank you london gay pride for cheering up my journey home.
You All looked lovely!

Chloe was tired from the long day out
We were also tired!
So Yonderland is returning to our screens 13th july 2015 on sky1 at 8pm
You will enjoy and laugh suitable for all ages, families etc.

Please be warned there is very funny adult humour.
Funny gags adult humour not for the faint hearted.
