  • And 1 more day to my cruise with CruiseCo on the @celebritycruisesuk Silhouette 💗🚢 but for today I am still packing and organising. Yesterday however I did take the opportunity to have a little chill on the balcony with a book and a cheeky snack. I blame my new @qvcuk #bundleberry chair and cushion for enticing me 😍 but it’s perfect for balcony lounging so comfy and I hate to offend. Have a good day whatever you are up too and enjoy the ☀️
  • All the hearts for this gorgeous @Thorntonschocs Triple Layer Chocolate Celebration cake, I decided to buy a cake and #passtheloveon this weekend as the teens of the country start their GCSEs; it marks a year since Jack started his. And here he is a year later with the apprenticeship of his dreams all thanks to his results. It’s so wonderful to see him growing into a confident young man and so important to share these moments. Our family are everything to us, and sometimes we forget to celebrate little milestones. Chris and I want the boys to always know and remember how precious they are to us. And as celebrations are @all.about.cake.uk This delicious #thorntons cake can be found in all major supermarkets at £11.50. The cake is also available in Sticky Toffee flavour at £8.50. Who would you choose to celebrate with cake? Good luck to all those teens starting the GCSEs today you will rock it, do your best and no matter what the results you are all amazing, all great trees started with tiny acorns 🌲and all celebrations start with cake🍰 #ad
