I have just come back from a serious marathon road trip with the spawnlings, and my most favourite part of it all was the Nintendo 2DS. Well, that’s not completely true. The spawnlings were kind of fun as well. I’ll be the first to admit I had my trepidations. […]

Hurry up and make your bed!! It isn’t going to make itself!! – EG Grandma She is going to eat her words. I want to blame my inability to make the bed on my broken wrist but let’s be honest- it has never been high on my priority list. And […]

Ninjamas is just around the corner and the marketing onslaught is in full attack mode. Everywhere you turn, new and shiny toys are being offered as the “ideal gift”. So much geeky goodness. But like many, I can’t justify the HUGE expenditure on myself for SOOOOOO many geeky things. I keep […]

I consider myself the last remaining sane person in the family of crazies. And knowing my family – that’s a scary scary thought. I do not have and do not want a motorbike licence. EG Dad has one (Virago). EG Grandad has one (a Harley, of course). EG Grandma has […]

Do you want to know my ultimate weakness? Well, no. Chocolate is more of a dietary requirement. I’m talking LEGO games. Primarily Travellers Tales on the Wii/Wii U console. I have them all – Batman (1&2); Indie; Marvel, and so forth… All except Star Wars. Because that sucked. Hard. I […]

Harold Ramis has died, and I suddenly have craving for Ghostbusters. Fortunately, we have it on DVD – as any good family should. Methinks movie night this Saturday. But a movie night for the spawnlings doesn’t seem to be enough to honour the comedic genius of Mr Ramis. What other […]
