(Ad - Gifted) Stop snoring and sleep better with the Good Night Anti-Snoring Ring!

I am a snorer and it drives Stu my fella mad. The best gift I could give Stu is a good nights sleep so when I was asked if I wanted to try out the Good Night Anti-Snoring Ring I jumped at the chance! He doesn't sleep well because of me snoring and I don't sleep well because of him shaking the bed and me to stop me snoring.


The Good Night Anti Snoring Ring is a completely natural remedy which uses acupressure points on the little finger to cure snoring. Unlike other cures on the market, the simple ring is non invasive with no nasty chemicals, mouth guards or ugly nose clips!


The Good Night Ring works using ancient tried and tested acupressure technology on two specific points. You simply wear the Good Night Ring on your little finger at night. Simply slip the ring on your little finger 30 minutes before you go to sleep and let the acupressure stimulators go to work to open up your breathing passages whilst you sleep.


I have been using this for a couple of weeks. Putting it on when I get into bed and it has become part of my routine now. It is comfortable to wear and I often forget to take it off on a morning. I wouldn't say it has stopped me snoring fully but Stu said I am not snoring as much or as loudly. It has made a difference to our lives. 

The Good Night Anti-Snoring Ring has a RRP price of £29.99 and comes with a no risk, no quibble 30 day money back guarantee so if you buy it and it doesn't work you can easily return it and get your money back. It is available to buy from Boots, your local pharmacy or online at Good Night Snoring. 

I was sent the Good Night Anti-Snoring Ring free of charge in exchange for this blog post.

Teenagers pushing their luck during the lock down!

Grr! Teenagers! Just as the lock down started my teen and her girlfriend were in big trouble. They tried to bend the rules and both ended up getting told off by me and the girlfriends mum too. Oops. 


I will be calling the Becky's girlfriend "A" from now on.

We were sat here one afternoon and saw a car pull up outside of our house and it was "A" and her mum. We weren't expecting her and Becky looked confused too, or at least pretended to be.

Apparently Becky and "A" had planned on going for a walk together for a couple of hours then "A's" mum would pick her back up. "A" had convinced her mum that I was OK with it and Becky hadn't thought that far ahead. She thought once "A" was here I would be fine. They thought that if they kept their distance they could spend time together.

Personally I think "A's" mum is too soft on her and shouldn't have even considered coming here. "A" lives at the other side of town, about 45 minutes away so it's not a case of just popping over. As soon as I got talking to "A's" mum it became clear we had both been played and we agreed it was not on. Yes, we understand they are missing each other but we all have to play by the rules. 

Both of the girls were acting like toddlers. Basically having a tantrum because us parents wouldn't let them do what they wanted. Shouting it was not fair and thinking we were just being mean. I know the neighbours were at their windows listening to drama the two girls were causing. Two lads who lived over the road came out and were playing football over the road. I've never seen them before and haven't seen them since, the nosy so and so's. lol

It also came out that "A's" mum and I are having the same arguments with our offspring. They are that eager to talk to each other online and video chats they are neglecting their chores and college work. "A's" mum is a key worker and is working long shifts so tries to ring "A" when she's on her way home from work to put tea on but can't get through because she's on the phone to Becky.

We agreed that both the girls need to do their chores, college work and have family time on a morning and then after lunch they can chat as much as they want on the phone or online until 5pm where they'll take a break until about 8pm then they can chat until 10pm.

I have been trying to tell Becky that it needs to be like this but she thought I was just being mean until she heard the same from "A's" mum. I think it became clear to them that if two parents who had never met each other or spoke to each other before this conversation were saying the same things there must be some right in it.

The girls now have set times to speak to each other and it's going well. Like me & "A's" mum said if they are still together when all of this is over they have basically done the whole long distance relationship thing. Not being able to see each other when they want and only being able to chat on the phone or online. Being in lock down is a lot like having a long distance relationship.

Now the rules have changed and you can meet one person from a different household the question of Becky and "A" meeting did come up in conversation and so far both myself and "A's" mum are saying no, they are not meeting up yet. We have said to wait a few weeks to see if there is another wave and spike in deaths and the girls have been surprisingly OK with it.

I am just hoping that we are out of lock down in a few months because both of the girls are turning 18 and they have big plans! Eek!

Our weekly meal plan! 18th - 24th May. #MealPlanningMonday


Last weeks meal plan went really well. We ate every meal on the day I had planned. It was only me who let the team down. On Friday I didn't fancy pizza so had a proper lazy meal of instant mash with a tin of beans and sausages. It was surprisingly good. The kids were so impressed with the roast dinner yesterday all because we had turkey and pigs in blankets along with all the veg. Turkey and pigs in blankets is usually a Christmas day thing.

I managed to get some baking supplies over the weekend so Ellie and I will be making some flapjacks during the week and some jaffa cake treats that I saw being made on TikTok.

This week on the menu we have:

Monday - Bubble and Squeak using the leftovers from the roast with fried egg.
Tuesday - Greggs pasties and chips.  
Wednesday - Chicken fajitas.
Thursday - Sticky BBQ chicken and rice.
Friday - Pizza.
Saturday - Lasagne and garlic bread. Becky is planning on making it from scratch.
Sunday - A fry up! Bacon, sausages, black pudding, tomatoes, eggs, beans, mushrooms and toast.

What are you eating this week?

Roblox has taken over my house. #MySundaySnapshot

A couple of weeks ago I had never played Roblox despite my girls playing it for years. They love it. Last week I was bored and Ellie asked me to play so I gave it a go and now I'm hooked. I refuse to play the games with no point to them but I do like the Tycoon games where you run a restaurant or build a house. 


Ellie's favourite game is Adopt Me! Where you raise pets by taking care of them. Her mission in life is to collect so many normal pets to make a super neon pet and was trying to convince me to level pets up and give them to her. Nope. hehehe Stu is daft enough to do it for her though and has been. lol
