September recap | 2025

-
September was a busy, crazy month and one we certainly won't forget, with a theatre trip, a concert, birthdays and drifting taking up life along with work we are happy for a calmer start to the next month.

The month started with back to work, 2 inset days for me and then back in to the full swing of school runs and clubs. Its been a busy and tiring first term but we are surviving. 

I turned 34 at the end of the first week, I felt loved and got treated both at work and home. I didn't do too much for my birthday, Dad and Angie came round to see me, Liam cooked a meal I asked for and had cake and wine! It was perfect.

A week later it was Lilly's turn to have a birthday, she turned 13! I officially have a teenager which is crazy. For her birthday we planned for her to have a trip to the theatre to see SIX in Brighton, she has wanted to go back for a while and I managed to get tickets for the actual day and surprised her with it with a ticket and stickers for our scrapbook. 

Next up was such a good night, it was time to see Busted vs Mcfly, a show that I have been waiting to see since they announced it last year. We travelled up to the 02 on the 21st and honeslty had the best night, I kind of have post concert/theatre blues but that wasn't the end to our fun for September. 

Fast foward to the last weekend and we ended up travelling all the way to Castle Combe in Chippenham to see Adam LZ and other YouTubers in the LZ world tour. This was a drift event full of burning rubber, crazy demos and lots of fun and one we will certainly attend if this was to go ahead next year.

What a crazy month, and October could also be crazy, the first week so far has been quiet but I can see it growing with craziness as the month goes on, watch this space!

Cottage pie recipe

I have recently started making my own Cottage pie with a recipe that I have tweeted to work four our fussy family. I find that a cottage pie is such an Autumn/Winter staple as it feeling like such a warm, hearty meal, one that is a proper comfort meal.  I recently started making the meal and found that I didn't have a packet mix in so decided to find a recipe to try out, the first one I found sounded good but I changed it slightly to fit our family, Lils isn't keen on fresh onion ad none of us like celery. I thought I would share our recipe with you which can easily be adapted if need be. Recipe 500g Beef Mince 1 carton of tomato passata  1 tbs tomato paste 1 beef stock cube 1 beef stock pot 1 tsp onion salt 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp mixed herbs 2 medium carrots sliced and part cooked Salt and pepper 3 large potatoes for mash 75g cheese Method 1. Preheat you oven to gas mark 4/180oC 2. Brown off the mince and drain off excess oil from the pan. 3. Pour in the pass...

With the weather warming up and the BBQ season well on its way, I wanted to share a recipe with you that is a firm favourite in our house, this recipe will help elevate you BBQ tastes with the yummiest burgers that have so much flavour.  Its such a simple seasoning to make and one that you will be able to store for future use too. 1 tsp Salt 1 tsp Freshly ground black pepper 1 tbsp Paprika 1 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder 1 tsp Onion powder 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper We add these herbs and spices into a pestel and mortar and given them a good mix together. When the time comes to make these tasty burgers just grab some 5%  mince and shape into burgers, we now have a burger press to make them more even, then when cooking sprinkle some of the seasoning onto the top side of the burger and flip, then repeat till both sides are covered evenly. This will help the seasoning cook into the meat and make the flavour run througout.  Once cooked serve your burgers the way you like, I personally go...
