My new shopping buddy

A few posts down I have posted about outing animal tested products, To help me with this I signed up for a little book of cruelty free from www.gocrueltyfree.org which folds out with lists of cosmetic and household product companies that don't test on animals. 

IT fits perfectly in my purse so can come with me everywhere :)

About the book

The little book of cruelty free is produced by cruelty free international to help you identify certified products available to buy in UK stores.We approve each company's entire range of own brand products so even if you do not see the leaping bunny on pack, you can be confident that their products are cruelty-free. Cruelty free international was founded by the BUAV and is dedicated to ending animal testing for consumer products worldwide.

Unexpected Delivery

Yesterday there was a knock at my door from a man in a big white van holding a big black box, Which left me totally baffled I haven't ordered anything that would need a box? So I guessed I was taking it in for a  neighbour that I very regularly do but then I noticed it had my name on it?

Still totally baffled I started to open it and spotted some little leaves poking out and saw that along with the address it said there was a message with the card.

So of course I dove straight into the card which left me tearing up when I noticed my mother inlaw had sent me the parcel which was a beautiful celebration patio rose plant.

For ages I've been so convinced deep down she doesn't like me even tho she has never given me a reason to think that I've been so sure deep down she can't like me and Andy told her the other day that I thought so, A few days later she asked for our address to send the girls a little something but along come this lovely surprise for me :)

I feel so special and feel pretty bad that she done this for me when I was thinking such a thing when she gave me no reason at all to believe she disliked me.

Please excuse the quality of the photos I lent my friend my camera so my phone had to do.

We now have a domain!

With my blog turning a year old at the beginning of the month, I finally bit the bullet and purchased a domain name :)
So you can now find me at www.amummastimeout.co.uk
This step took some encouraging from Hayley's blogging 1O1 post over on sparklesandstretchmarks I purchased my domain name from 'Godaddy' for £2.99 for the year!
Quite the bargain I'd say and if after the year is up for any reason I decide not to blog anymore or the domain thing really isn't working for me, I just don't renew my domain.

Bargain Toys - House of fraser

Up until recently House of Fraser was never a shop I'd consider popping into or having a peek on their website, I've always felt the prices would be way to high for me but they have so many bargain toys on their website!

I first bought from them a few months ago because they were one of the only places that had a fijit in stock which was on the top of Daisie's birthday wish list, I made the mistake of taking a peek today and these are just a small amount of the amazing bargains I came across.

Issy's recently started liking monster high and house of Fraser have so many on their for a bargain price of £7.99 a doll in their sale

as well as lalaloopsys £4.99 for the mini triple sets, littles for £8.99

Disney barbies for £6.99 and so much more...
