You either Love it or hate it...

 

Unloved and forgotten, thousands of Marmite jars across the UK are being neglected. This year alone, over 1 in 10 Brits admit they haven't opened their jar in over three months.


Have you seen the new TV advert? Parodying campaigns for animal and child welfare charities.....

The £2 million campaign is Marmite's first TV advert in two years, and premiered during ITV's Coronation Street on Monday & It quickly received negative comments on its Facebook and YouTube page.....It has received over 330 complaints to The Advertising Standards Agency (ASA)...

I personally thought Aww when I saw the advert and I thought it was funny!!

Who complains about these things?

I genuinely don't understand the complaints....Are they concerned that neglected children will go unheard because people will be caring too much about their jars? That people are going to say, "Oh, I used to care about abandoned animals but after Marmite made me realised how ridiculous that was I stopped". 

Maybe they should do an advert for peoples who's sense of humour has been neglected.....Come on get a grip!

Should I be worried....I have two unopened neglected jars of Marmite in my kitchen cupboard....lol

Always Infinity - Review

Most woman have periods and some people use tampons others use pads....I use pads...I don't really have a usual brand I use whatever is on offer....I despise having periods!! I don't have then very often with having the contraceptive implant in my arm I can easily go six months without one but when the period does come I can be on for anything up to two weeks....Grrr!

So when I was sent some of the Always Infinity to try I thought why not....They can't be any worse the the one's I'd been using.....


NEW Always Infinity is a breakthrough in monthly protection. Unlike regular pads that contain mostly fluff, Always Infinity is the first pad made from Infinicel, a revolutionary liquid that forms the pad's unique foam core.

Always Infinity can absorb up to 10x its weight, and twice as much as you may need, yet you barely feel it. It is so thin and flexible that it actually moulds to your body (similar to memory foam). It’s like a second skin so you might even forget you’re wearing it.....


Well I had a period and gave these a try!! I love them.....
With how thin it was I didn't think it would be so good but I was wrong....

In addition to being amazingly absorbent, infinity pads are shockingly thin and flexible. You will probably forget you even have one on....There's enough stick to keep them in place and they are long and wide enough to stop any leaks....

Even with the night time one's it doesn't feel like you are wearing one....I wasn't worried about waking up on a morning and there being leakage on the bed sheets...It gave me a sense of security that other pads don't give me!

One last thing I've noticed is they don't irritate you like all other pads out there....These are not scented!!!

These get the thumbs up from me!!

The only negative I can think of is the price....
At the moment Tesco is selling them at £3.00 for 10 normal one's or £3.00 for 8 night time one's which I think is very expensive if you have periods every month...

I was sent 3 packets of the NEW Always Infinity free of charge to try....This is my honest review....All thoughts and opinions are my own!!

Our day at the Discovery Museum! - Newcastle

On Friday we had another family day out....

This time to Newcastle to the Discovery Museum!

What makes the Discovery Museum so good is that it's FREE!! 

"Discovery Museum has a varied collection representing the diverse history of Newcastle. Permanent galleries include Newcastle Story about the history of the City, several galleries about industries and developments on Tyneside, Science Maze which is a hands-on science gallery and Soldiers Life. There is also a programme of temporary exhibitions throughout the year."

"The museum also offers several spaces for younger children including Playtyne (a water play gallery), interactive play areas, and dressing up and storytelling spaces"

Discovery Museum is only a five minute walk from Newcastle Central Station Metro - Admission is free!!

There was so much to see and do.....We were there for over 4 hours and could of easily spent longer there if it wasn't for us needing something to eat! I can highly recommend it for a day out.....Great for kids of all ages!!

Here are our pictures from an amazing day out!!
There is quite a few....Sorry about that!
