Waaaaaay back in August buyagift sent me some vouchers to have some fun with, and we certainly monkied around at Go Ape, but our other voucher was for the Orbit Slide at Stratford.

I spent two days there a…

Did you know we consume as much as three times our recommended daily calorie intake on Christmas day? But it’s not all doom and gloom… Although the traditional Christmas dinner gets a bad rep, it’s actually a pretty healthy meal if we strip it back to the bare bones.
