Malt Loaf or Soreen. Who cares? IT'S SQUIDGY GOODNESS!

A short while ago I received a text from my husband.  We'd had our delivery of malt loaf goodies from Soreen HQ for the purpose of helping them promote some of their new products.  My mind flipped back to an email from their PR, Nicola, that said, "... and you'll get a ton of product samples."  She wasn't kidding!

So, I tipped it all out and created a few gift boxes for the neighbours (I bet I get a nomination for Neighbour Of The Year now, or at least the posh Christmas cards with the gold edging) and went up and down the street giving it out.  I sent some round to my daughter's house and took some to work.  My popularity count has never been so high.  Everyone loved the retroness of it all and when I recommended toasting it, they all went wild!

We've run a few taste tests and have declared the new banana mini-loaves the best thing ever invented in the 'healthy snack' world and the pre-sliced toastie loaf a little bit moreish (two slices isn't enough, four is probably too much but you can't get enough of the warm squidge if that's your thing).  The individually wrapped lunchbox loaves (original recipe) are ideal to keep in your bag for a mid-morning/afternoon snack and they meet the Government's food based nutritional standards.

What I'm going to do is host a Lunchbox Linky this Thursday.  I want your fantastic ideas for lunch box fillers for the kids, for work, for picnics - anything at all.  If you're short on inspiration you could take a look at the lunches that Pippa creates for her children.  You can link up an old or new post and maybe I'll end up having a half term carpet picnic with the grandchildren.  There will be Soreen vouchers for everyone who joins in and hopefully, I'll be able to arrange to send one lucky entrant a few extra Soreen goodies.

In the meantime you can win a Soreen goody bag by completing this survey or nominate someone to receive a visit from the Soreen van.  You can also find Soreen on all the usual social media platforms:

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
