So holidays in Disney World, Florida aren’t exactly cheap are they, but I’ve discovered a few ways to make those dollars go a little bit further.

A spontaneous trip to South Shields seafront after a long hard day stuck at work. Nothing better than chips by the seaside when its sunny outside and I’ve been looking at a computer screen all day.

Wow!! I could just leave this one word here and it would describe our experience at the Opening Ceremony at the Quayside on Friday evening for the Great Exhibition of the North. Having read some mixed reviews from others on this event I just wanted to put my thoughts forward. I can understand the comments […]
