We just had a short day in London today and being a Sunday we thought we'd take it slow and have an easy, relaxing one too! We got up around 7:30am and headed down for breakfast. They've changed the system again from last year so now if you're getting a full breakfast you're in a smaller more intimate setting room. It felt so awkward though, I prefer the rowdy free for all breakfast buffets. After breakfast we headed back to finish packing and watched some tv before checking out at 11am. We then headed off to Covent Garden at to have brunch at Shake Shack, I really wish we had one closer to home! We spent the rest of the day around Leicester Square, it was a on-off rainy day and we didn't really want to venture too far away with our train being just before 5pm. We watched some street performers, a dancing Spongebob Squarepants in the Nickelodeon store and had a browse around M&Ms World and for the first time we didn't actually buy anything...

We were up early to catch our train which was due just before 7am! So I think we both had around 4 hours sleep at most. The train ride was pretty boring, I tried to nap, and there was a baby and toddler sat opposite us at our table. We charged our phones up throughout the ride and played some Disney Emoji Blitz. Once we got to Kings Cross we headed for the tube to Russell Square and rushed over to the Royal National Hotel to drop off our case and my coat as it was around 16ºC! We couldn't really have asked for much better weather. We then headed over to Leicester Square to get something to eat, the queue was pretty big in Shake Shack so we headed over to our usual eating spot - Burger King. It's not quite as special now that we have Coke Freestyle in Newcastle now too. After we ate we spent a couple of hours going around Carnaby Street (there was nothing nice in Vans though!), Forbidden Planet (picked up some new Disney keyrings), Covent Garden (Moomin Shop) a...

Recently we've been getting quotes to fix up our garden and house, so this seems like the perfect time to finally look around and decide what new furniture we want. We always find ourselves looking through the BoConcept section in Fenwick whenever we're on the furniture floor (it's also where the Seasonal Christmas Floor opens) so I thought i'd have a little look through their catalogue and on their website for the things we absolutely need. Chiva Coffee Table This coffee table is both stylish and practical with two storage compartments. It would be perfect for storing game console and tv controllers, snacks, small sewing kits and anything else you may need in your living room. We're going for a black and while modern theme for the majority of our house so this would be perfect. We'd have to get rid of our armchair to fit this in though, but I think it would look great under our living room bay window. Copenhagen Desk ...

Before the New Year was officially rung in, I wrote up a list of 50 things I wanted to do in 2017, and as it's now March 11th I figured it's a good time to post an update on how far i'm getting on with the list. So far i've crossed off (either fully or partially) - 5. Make A Chocolate Photoframe 6. Save Money 7. Declutter 8. Post a YouTube Video Every Week 9. Bake A Heart Shaped Cake 10. Go To Chinese New Year Events 17. Get My DSLR Repaired (I sent it to Nikon, but APM said they'd do it for 1/3 of the price so i'm taking it there now!) 23. Go To The Beach (We've been once so far this year and didn't step foot on the sand) 26. Holiday Planning 28. Buy Less Junk (Fits in with #6) 34. Keep On Top Of The Blog (I'm going to stop the 2 day schedule though, it's taking the fun away) 35. Bake More (So far we've baked cookies four times, 2 heart shaped cakes, garlic bread, pr...

Just like the Gudeama Pudding Kit I showed you all a couple of days ago, I made the Kracie Popin' Cookin' Ice Cream candy and added some english instructions to the video. Hopefully they'll help you out if you manage to pick up one of these kits! Follow this blog on BlogLovin' Like us on Facebook

I'm missing Japan so much right now, so i've started to work my way through all of the DIY Candy Kits we picked up last year. Here is the Gudetama pudding kit! It was a fun one to make. Follow this blog on BlogLovin' Like us on Facebook
