This day I love.......

You may have seen my post about how we have all been poorly this Easter. We have all had this very nasty virus which luckily seems to be going now. The Easter holidays were pretty much a disaster, we tried our best and tried to not let the virus beat us but at times it was hard.

Easter dinner was particularly tricky. We wanted to have a nice Sunday dinner and have the family round. No one felt like cooking, we were all too poorly and too tired. Donald Russell stepped up and saved Easter. Donald Russell supply top quality food and meat and take away the stress of cooking it. There was no need to plan as everything, including the meat, can be cooked from frozen.

We took our Donald Russell lamb straight from the freezer and cooked for 90minutes, as per the instructions. As well as the lamb we had a huge range of accompaniments, vegetables, cauliflower cheese and more. A fest fit for Royalty and perfect for our Easter dinner. Stress free roast dinner all cooked from frozen.

Our dinner was delicious, the lamb was cooked to perfection and simply melted as you cut into it. The girls asked for more and there was plenty to go round. It was a truly wonderful Easter Sunday lunch and we were all surprised at how great it tasted given that we had cooked it from frozen.

I would highly recommend having Donald Russell meat in your freezer for those just in case emergencies. They taste fantastic and are so easy to cook, simply stress free roast dinners, wonderful!

We were provided with samples from Donald Russell for review.  All words are my own opinions

I have joined weeks 8 and 9 together as we were on holiday in week 8 and so could not get the post live for the end of the week.  Here is the past two weeks

Sunday

Sunday lunchWe had Sunday Lunch out.  It was a real treat and the food was lovely.  We are looking forward to visiting again


Monday

reading a bookMy youngest is taking a real interest in reading.  I caught her cuddled up reading a book to herself.  It was very cute


Tuesday

the dogsWe had a Teksta Newborn to review and this picture made me giggle.  I managed to get all of them to sit together.


Wednesday

hair dressersIt was a wet and miserable day, I managed to get the girls a last minute hair dressers appointment.  My youngest actually sat in the chair for more than 5 minutes which is a first

Thursday

on the trainWe began the first of 4 trains on the 5 hour journey to Brighton to visit my sister.  The girls did get a little fed up, but I cannot blame them really.  My youngest decided I had to wear the Trunki Toddle Pak.


Friday

afternoon teaAfternoon tea by the sea, the girls loved it.  Cakes and sandwiches, with a glass of milk.


Saturday

playing on the beachIt might be raining but that is not going to stop us from having a good time on our holidays.

Sunday

Back from holiday, tired following the long train journey and feeling under the weather.  There can only be one thing for it, Mr Potato head play


Monday

Some days you just need a walk through the woods to clear your head.  
Tuesday

cuddly dogsI caught the dogs all curled up together on the bean bag.  They looked very cute


Wednesday

So proud of my eldest, a badge in gymnastics and star of the day at school.
Thursday

doctor dress upToday was our Doc McStuffins twitter party.  Everyone had a great time, there was cake, games and flashing shoes.  My eldest loves to dress up and loves Doc McStuffins so it was a great day for her.
















Friday

Youngest selfieI love this selfie my youngest took.  She was playing with my camera and I came across this.  



















Saturday

watching tv
I have an assignment deadline for my course on Friday which means I am frantically trying to get everything finished.  It did mean I had to resort to electronic baby sitting methods.  Judging by the giggles coming from the girls I do not think they mind too much.

We were out and about on Sunday and decided to treat the girls to lunch at a Beefeater restaurant near to us.  The Brecks is situated near to both J33 of the M1 and J1 of the M18.  From the outside you maybe forgiven in thinking that it might not be much inside, but step through the doors and a whole new experience awaits.

A warm hello

The Brecks has recently been refurbished and the modern interior is clean and fresh.  Staff are friendly and welcoming and there is a warm friendly atmosphere.  Families are definitely made to feel welcome and children of all ages are catered for.

comfy seating

The girls began by choosing their own lunch.  As their menu was all photos they could easily see what was on offer and make their own choices

My husband and I had rather difficult choice to make, everything looked great.  I decided to go for the Sunday Lunch, it was Sunday after all, and my husband went for the special as recommended.  The girls were kept entertained whilst we were waiting for dinner to arrive.  They had an activity book to do and colouring pencils for drawing.  

Our dinner arrived and it looked fantastic

The girls could not wait to tuck in

 Our server promised the girls if they ate their dinner they could have a balloon and this spurred them on.  She kept her word and the girls were given a balloon.  

We decided to treat the girls to desert, which I have to say were simply amazing.  The girls took on the chocolate challenge and for the most part won

chocolate chops

We had a really lovely afternoon at the Brecks and would certainly go back again for lunch or dinner one day

 We were sent a voucher which covered half of our meal costs.  We really enjoyed our lunch at the Brecks and would certainly return again.
