This day I love.......: VIP

In all three of my pregnancies our dog, J, has been the first to find out. It is his change in behaviour that has alerted me each time. From his desire to no longer jump up to greet me, or that he rests his head on my lap and not my stomach are all signals that I was expecting.

Whilst pregnant he becomes more protective of me. Sitting as close to me as possible and wanting to know where I am at all times. As the pregnancies begin to draw to an end, he also senses this and his shadowing intensifies. For me J is a Very Important Pet #MyVIP, he is such a loving and protective dog that you could not ask for anything else.

Now baby has arrived he is just as loving towards them, accepting them straight away and looking at me to play. A simple sniff to say hello. I would be completely lost without J, he is my best friend and protector. He gives me complete peace of mind and I feel safe knowing he is there.

The new Smart Home system from Panasonic, also offers complete peace of mind. Panasonic would like you to share with them a picture or video of your Very Important Pet for a chance to win a two-night stay in a luxury hotel and other great prizes worth up to £2,000.

Having spent the past few weeks in the house it was decided that a well earned family day out was in order. First things first though, we had to wait for the plasterers to finish. The ceiling in the front room has now been repaired and we can at long last paint the front room. That is next week job. They were really quick and efficient and we took the girls out in time for lunch.

Well we told the girls we were going out for lunch but actually we thought we would go bowling. Not just any bowling we decided to visit the recently refurbished Hollywood Bowl in Leeds. We were treated to a VIP bowling lane, which features luxury leather seats and coloured pins! Ours were pink

The girls wasted no time in getting started and to start us off my eldest bowled a strike! She couldn't stop jumping and I ended up with some blurry photos

My youngest sat patiently, I think planning her next move

My eldest was soon up again and this time got a spare, it seemed pink pins suited her

My youngest seemed to be admitting defeat and consoled herself in a milkshake, they were rather tasty

I could not bowl for health reasons, but had so much fun watching the girls and seeing the excitement when they knocked over the pins

The final scores. My youngest came third with 77, Daddy got 84 and my eldest a whopping 118! She got her name on the leader board for the kids and I really wished I had taken a photo.

After all the glitz and glamour of bowling there could only be one way to eat our lunch

The girls loved the American diner type theme and the glitz of Hollywood. It was great to spend some time together as a family

This day I love Glitz and Glamour

We were invited to Hollywood bowl for 1 game and a meal in exchange for a post.

Those rare emails you get that you read, cannot believe it, read it again and then think it cannot be real. Then you get a confirmation email and you realise that actually this is happening. That happened to me recently when I had an email inviting me to VIP party at WWE Live. Not only was I getting to watch WWE, I was watching Monday night Raw Live and attending a VIP party. I was a little over the moon.

The evening started at the VIP party which was just fantastic. I cannot begin to describe the evening and Thing 3 even got to meet some of the superstars.

My friends and I mingled, chatted and had a really good time. The evening seemed to fly by but it was soon time for the main event. Raw!

The event was been shown live and as a result there were a few commercial breaks but this just added to the atmosphere. Thing 3 seemed very happy and so was I. I was watching WWE, and loving it. I even got to see some of my favourite acts.

As the last match came on I began to feel a little sad that the night was coming to an end. It had been such an amazing evening that I wanted more. It was almost as if WWE had read my mind as they delivered one of the most amazing and unforgettable experiences of my life.

To this day I still cannot believe I have achieved a childhood dream of mine to see the Undertaker live. He is an absolute legend and I had chills when his theme tune played. We all looked at each other and said 'No way!'.

My two little wrestling buddies were missing as it was far too late for them, I got home at 1am. When they woke up though they were very excited and happy with Mummy WWE goodies that they would not take them off!

It was a truly amazing experience and one which I will never forget. Thank you so much WWE!

This day I love feeling like a VIP!

Our spotty dog is a RSPCA puppy. We re homed her when she was 18 weeks old and you can tell how pleased she is. I am a strong believe in rehoming, as many animals are there through no fault of there own. We were invited to attend a VIP day at the RSPCA in Sheffield and jumped at the chance.

We were initially given a talk on the work they do at the centre, and I was surprised to hear all the extra training they do with the animals. How they work hard to add enrichment into their lives and the different games they play. It is often hard when you go to a rescue kennel and see the dogs barking, but think how you would feel stuck in that small space not able to do the things you want to do. These dogs need understanding.

We had a tour of the centre and got to see some of the dogs and cats currently up for adoption. The girls wanted to play with the cats and they were given time to spend with some of the younger cats, my youngest was in her element.

I personally loved the cat which reminded me of bagpuss.

If you ever get the opportunity for a tour of a rescue centre I would strongly urge you to go, it is a real eye opener into the hard work that staff have to do in order to re home animals. It is also great to get more of an understanding of what these animals have to go through on a daily basis.

Thank you to RSPCA Sheffield.

Last Sunday the girls attended a birthday party at Cannon Hall Farm. The weather was beautiful and it was lovely to have a guided tour of the farm.

We have visited the farm several times before but having the guided tour made it really special. It was lovely to learn about the animals and also get the opportunity to feed them. The viewing platform looks down at the barn and there are feeding shoots to put food in which drops down to feeding trays.

The girls loved the tour of the farm, made extra special by our VIP status and a beautiful birthday. I loved watching my eldest walk hand in hand with her friends round the farm. Such a beautiful day.

This day I love VIP farm birthday
