Hello again compers!  Well, how was your first week back at school or work?  Any tears, from adults or children?  My eldest started back at school last week (Year 4 now, big girl),  and my youngest started “big school” Reception class on Monday – today will be her first full day, so we shall see how she is when I pick her up at 3pm!  I am guessing I may have 2 very tired children on my hands this afternoon!  I think the first few weeks of September are meant to be spent just relaxing and recovering from a busy summer.  Whether you have children at home or not, chan

Hello again happy compers!  How has your week been, any nice new wins to report?  My August spreadsheet now stands at 10 prizes overall – better than the 6 that it was a week ago!  No big wins at all this month, just a few instant wins (mystery prizes until they come), a tea-light holder, some loom bands and some cereal bars really!  Ah well, can’t moan, all useful items that will benefit the family in some way.  Quite glad to be on the home stretch to school now though - we are away at the moment visiting relatives on the mainland, but once we get back we will onl

Hello again happy compers!  How has your week been, any nice new wins to report?  August has been my worst month for comping – ever!  Have enjoyed having the children home for the summer, but am secretly quite glad that we are on the home stretch to September now and routine and sanity can, once again, rule!  We are off visiting relatives on the mainland at the back end of next week, and may even squeeze a day trip in to Chessington, if the children behave well enough!  Have been trying to win some tickets, but to no avail, ah well, always next year! 

Hello again compers!  Half way through August – can’t quite believe it myself!  How has your month been so far?  What plans do you have for the weekend?  Do let us know in the comment below!  It is the annual Garlic Festival here on the Island this weekend – lots of good food, drink, fairgrounds rides and live music – so may take the family along to that for the day.  How are the wins going?  I am having an uber dry-spell at the mo – barely anything of note won this month!  Getting more comping in now though, so hoping the Comping Fairy hasn’t completely forgotten

Hello again happy compers!  How has your week been?  Productive?  Relaxing? Ready for the weekend now – I know I am!  Got any big plans this weekend, or just unwinding from a busy week?  Cowes week finishes up here this weekend, so we will be off to watch the famous fireworks display tonight, as well as a display by some RAF Typhoons and the Red Arrows.  The rest of the weekend will be chilled out, and hopefully catching up on some comping, which has rather gone by the wayside this last week or so.  Getting withdrawal symptoms hehe.

Hello compers!  August is here, can you believe it?  What has been your highlight of the summer so far?  Mine has to be taking my eldest and her BFF on a day’s outing to celebrate her 8^th birthday this week.  This consisted of the zoo, the beach, ice creams, picnic, a few beach-side rides and the obligatory burgers, fries and milkshakes on the way home!  Let me know what you have been up to in the comments below, we love to hear from you!

Good morning compers!  Are you enjoying the summer so far?  Have you managed to get out in the sun lots?  What have you been up to, drop me a comment below and let me know, I am always looking for inspiration!  I have barely been indoors since the summer holidays started – it has been a whirlwind of picnic making, sun-cream application, beach trips, walks in the country and playing in the sea – and it isn’t even August yet!

Hello again compers!  The Summer Holidays are finally here!  Does this fill you with excitement or dread?  A bit of both here – love having the kids home and spending some good quality time together, but it gets quite tricky juggling all the responsibilities over the summer.  Even if you don’t have kiddos home for the summer, the demands on your time seem to change over the summer – we all want to be out doing things, but the need to work, do housework and other commitments are always I the back of our minds.  What do you have planned for summer?

Good morning compers!  Well it’s here, the time you have either been waiting for or dreading if you have small children – the Summer Holidays!  The 6 weeks break always comes with mixed emotions for me – I love having my children home, having a break from the routine of school runs and homework, and enjoy getting organised with activities and trips planned.  But, I also struggle to fit in everything else with the children home – work, housework, a bit of sacred “me time”.  How about you, how do the Summer Holidays make you feel?
