Oh hai there! It's me, have you missed me? This Oh hai there! It's me, have you missed me? 

This is when I emerged from my cocoon the other night and ventured out with @steph.hop for a bloody lovely evening at @cratebrewery

I knew I'd be wrapped up in layers but wanted to take my @locketdownjewellery earrings out for a spin. I love them so much.

It was delicious. 

We went to @thebargehouse for this for  my birthday a few years ago and I've been meaning to return so I was over the moon for this surprise this morning.

I'm slowly stepping away from the wintery soups and stews and towards the more summery flatbreads and salads. Although I'm not 100% happy to step away entirely just yet!!

Quick and easy but super tasty. Nasi Goreng for Quick and easy but super tasty. 

Nasi Goreng for dinner (with extra sriracha for me!) So tasty and feels pretty healthy because of all the lovely kale. 

Give me some more quick and tasty dinner ideas please?!

πŸ‘€ I always feel like somebody's watching me πŸ‘€

I went for a walk the other day and when I stopped at @everythingbutthedog.eu for a coffee I looked up and saw the goodest boi watching me. There were two of them up there but the other one ran off just as I got my camera out. 

I love little surprises that make me smile.  What unexpected thing has made you smile today?

I bloody love Ben's Cookies and when I worked in Euston we used to go for a walk to pick one up in the afternoon.

This bumper box arrived on my doorstep and I couldn't have been happier. I can't wait to get cracking on with them. 

Thank you @steph.hop

my favourite chocolate orange is in there but there's some I haven't tried too. What's your favourite flavour?!

Got to drink a cuppa or two! β˜• Apart from my cr Got to drink a cuppa or two! β˜•

Apart from my crazy love of cheese, the fact the I couldn't find a dairy alternative that I liked in my tea was a huge stumbling block in going plant based. 

I love oat and nut milks in my coffee but everything was just way too sweet to go in my tea. 

I spotted this @alpro my cuppa when I did my last shop and I liked it so much I've bought it again. It is a bit thicker than diary milk and it tastes sort of creamier but I like it. I just wish it came in a bigger carton.

It was only when I produced this for breakfast this morning that I realised none of my trips to @dishoom were with @heroesdieold ! πŸ™ˆ I've promised him we can go when lockdown lifts. 

I (obviously) swerved the coriander but, my word, it was delicious. I'm honestly a bit sad I had to share with Tom because I definitely could have eaten both of them!

I was fully influenced by @shoegolf and @liljoeymac so thanks for that!!!

Cece loves helping me bake so we made some super easy oatmeal and raisin cookies in the week. She really gets involved until she had to put her hands in and get sticky πŸ˜‚

They're lovely and chewy.

Get Your Dabbers Out – Review: Players

17/07/2019      Leave a Comment

*I was invited to Players for food, drinks and a night of bingo for review purposes. Although my meal and bingo were gifted, all thoughts and words are my own.

I have worked in the gaming industry, primarily online bingo, for something like five years now and up until I went to Players I’d never had an evening out playing bingo! In fact, apart from a school fundraising night about twenty years ago, I don’t think I’d ever played bingo! Ridiculous, right?

Well, I corrected this a few weeks back when I visited Players in Camden and what a night I had.

Starting with cocktails (of the non-alcoholic variety for me) with quirky, tongue in cheek names like the Blue Rinse and a DJ blasting out singalong, dance along, feel good tunes the party atmosphere was set from the beginning. It certainly helps that the bar is pretty Instagramable and has its own selfie wall! Plus, if you want to earn your bingo wings and get stuck into some grub while you play, there is a monthly rotating offering from some of the trendiest, tastiest pop-up restaurants.

Moving from the bar into the hall and the party just keeps on going. With a live band, sparkly caller and Brenda the old-school ball machine this isn’t your granny’s average night at the bingo. Especially as there’s not just money up for grabs but every full house comes with a magnificent prize. These change depending on when you go but on my night there was a fridge, a drone and an inflatable canoe complete with all the safety gear needed to set sail immediately!

Your bingo book and dabber are included in the ticket price and with loads of cash prizes to be won, you could be covering your spends in no time. As well as traditional paper book bingo there’s a chance to speak to the bingo gods and play techno bingo. This uses the board on your table and there’s only one full house prize of Β£20. Even if you miss a number, the bingo gods know if you’ve won – that’s what happened to me. I thought I was one number away when in fact I was a winner and the bingo gods announced my table number to let me know! I was heavily pregnant, I’m blaming baby brain!

For my first foray into bingo in real life, I had an absolute blast and it was a brilliant bonus that I walked away with Β£20 winnings too. Now that I’ve had the baby I’m keen to go back and sample those cocktails for myself!

Tucked away around the corner and at the back of the Mecca Bingo Hall in Camden, Players is a great night out. Tickets are Β£12 and they’re open every Thursday and Saturday from 7pm.
