Okay okay okay shut up and let's read it then......

So everyone is talking about this book, you know the one I'm talking about before I even say it.... Yes that's right it's 50 shades of grey.

Well apparently anyone who is anyone is reading these novels. 
Now I see myself as a multi genre reader. If its good then I'll read it everything from sci fi novels to crime to fantasy to real life, but I have to admit this will be my first erotic novel.


Now, again apparently this is for my age range, and my... Eh what do u call it.
Anyway it's a big hit with women anyway, it's all over my Facebook from my old work colleagues to my distant bump buddies.


So here goes..... Page 1.... I'm quite a quick reader, so I will see u shorty and let you know what I think.

Ok so just less than 24 hours later and I'm 65% of the way through..

Ideas so far...

Characters are fun, believable to a point, familiar? 

The way she has narrated the book is interesting, not convinced i like this way of writing. Sometimes is seems a bit jumbled, and there are a few pages mainly the "contract" that are repeated..

I don't see the need for that if I'm honest.

(note at this point, e-reader book constantly have strange spelling and grammar mistakes throughout, this is very strange).

It is so far as it has been so often described... housewife porn lol.

This book is H.O.T.T hot and explores a different side to a "relationship" so easily offended people may not enjoy it. I however I'm not easily offended, which is just as well.

A good point to note is the fact that its less than 24hrs and I'm more than halfway through, which points to and easy to read and intriguing book, all be it hot sauce and spice

as a mid-way review i shall sum up in: A good read, with plenty of sauce .

we shall see how it unfolds in the last half of the book...

 Im dooooone........


Well.. what can i say, it dips slightly in the middle but by the end i was in tears, no i do have to admit I'm a hopeless ball of emotions at the best of times, but i was shocked, if I'm totally honest i can see what the fuss is about now i really honestly and completely can, massive :)


So lets try and some this one up without giving too much away..

An erotic and captivating novel, that also holds a strong romantic love story and a battle between a woman her needs, wants and desires.

Will i be reading the rest of the trilogy.....hell yes.

As always you thoughts and comments are more than welcome....

Another kiddy craft idea - that costs little to 0 money and is super fun to do with you kids x

Items you will need
 - an odd sock (at last something to do with them hehe)
 - glue
 - needle and thread
 - buttons or sequins

This isnt the most stunning looking piggy, but was made by mine and my daughters own fair hands
(granted if you are good at sewing yours should come out looking alot better than mine...lol



I followed a simple how to that i found on pintrest...

this is the link to the 10 step how to for sock teddies (hers looks a million times better than mine)

Follow the 10 steps - change what you feel like changing - as my sock was pink i went for a piggy and used buttons for the eyes and nose.

You don't have to use a plain sock either, mix it up with some spots or stripes, im working on a stripy ted for my son

Kiddy Crafts

Only things you need:
Empty juice bottles

PVA glue - mixed 50/50 with water

Kids paints
Glitter or gems /stars
Or stickers



Step  1

Paper mache the bottles until you have covered all the plastic
