Harrison and Oliver were kindly gifted two fantastically sets from @Flair_GP; Romeo’s Flying Factory and the Gekko Mobile.
They’ve kept the boys hugely entertained. Please check out their demonstration photos below;
Control Centre with catch phrases from the show. It sits perfectly in the side cabin;
The shooter that fits in multiple locations and fires some distance (we lost under the sofa he first time!);
Pull the wing to release the front doors and launch the drone;
And finally the crane, which can also fit in multiple locations;
The only negative thing was the amount of cable tie ..read more

Last time the boys couldn’t suck, so I had to express and it was all a big pain. After 8 weeks, I gave up!
This time around I was adamant I was going to give breastfeeding a go again. As soon as I got out the operating theatre and reunited with Gavin and baby, they asked my feeding preferences. I said breast. They lifted up my gown and popped her on my chest. She literally latched on like a dream. The midwife spent the first 30 mins with me doing obs, and then left us to it. We had some breakfast and lunch, and honestly she just kept latching on no problem.
Then Gav went home at 10pm, and it ..read more

For all my worries, it was much worse than I could’ve ever imagined. Gav dropped me off at 7.30am. I had cried solidly the whole journey there. I went to a ward of 3 beds, and asked to gown up, along with three other ladies. I was lucky to be first of the list, due to my anxiety issues, which became very apparent when the surgeon couldn’t even understand me through my sobbing. They all then did my obs; took my temperature and blood pressure. My blood pressure was so low the machine wasn’t picking me up, which they then did manually and it caused some concerns. They then said my temperature was ..read more

It might seem really uncool to hashtag your posts, but it’s so important if you want to be seen. If your account is private, hashtags simply won’t work.
You can use up to 30 hashtags per post, and I'd recommend using as many as possible
You can put hashtags either in your caption, or enter as a comment.
If you over use hashtags you won’t show up under them anymore, so keeping them rotating is so important.
Keep the hashtags very strict to the image, eg. If it’s a kitchen, don’t use bathroom hashtags.
Try to stay away from hashtags that have been used 1 million times or more. I aim to use one ..read more

To give you a little background. When the building work finished early December, we had lots of stuff still hanging about, so we were using the car to take the stuff to the dump. We popped our double pram in a nearby garage to we could use the boot. Then we had all the hospital trips etc, and we were taking the singles.
Today we popped there to pick some of our bits to bring back here, and we saw it. It was so mouldy. I could've cried! I thought I'd share what I did in case any one else is ever caught in the same situation.
To be honest, it possibly went away damp (when is it not raining ..read more

The boys were kindly gifted a set of personalised cutlery each @ByHappyMe_UK
They come beautifully packaged and wrapped. They’d be ideal to giveaway as a thoughtful gift, that you know will get lots of use out of them.
Each item has a different animal, and the engraving is perfect. You can even choose your font type. I went for comic sans, in the boys shortened names Ollie and Harry.
Order yours now ..read more

Having twins means that I obsess over the boys looking good, as they get a lot of attention when we’re out. They look amazing in bright colours. Of course they are still toddlers, so they get covered in all sorts. It was always difficult to get out those stains without fading the top, until I discovered Ace for Colours.
