Christmas Carol.. Rollie as the Ghost from Christmas past

Even Rollie has to get into the Christmas spirit and Rollie's favourite Christmas book has to be Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Which is rather apt as I spent all my childhood summers down in Broadstairs as that was where my Grandparents lived . And as you know Charles Dickens did stay at Bleak House and Broadsroars just celebrate the Dickens festival.

So here We have Rollie as  'The Ghost from Christmas Past'

 Merry Christmas you daft but miserable cat !

Silent Sunday

Right up my Quality Street

The new limited edition bar combines four Quality Street The Purple Ones with their smooth milk chocolate, signature creamy caramel centre and whole hazelnut. This expansion of a Quality Street favourite will come as a special treat for the many fans of The Purple One.

My Purple Bar, with an RRP of 65p, benefits from vibrant packaging which pays tribute to the heritage of the brand. Although the Quality Street brand, launched in 1936, reaches the grand age of 75 in 2011, it shows no sign of slowing down.  Over the last year the total brand value has risen by 14% to be worth a massive £98m. With the launch of the limited edition My Purple Bar, the brands success is set to continue.


This is where I am meant to show you my various pictures of 'My Purple Bar' in various poses I am sorry to say I didn't take any. Remember how I said i coaxed J with some chocolate when I took a picture of him in the Ski Jacket post. Well the chocolate I used was "My Purple Bar' I have a very very nice picture of the wrapper.

And J did say it was nice which when in  teenager speaks = that was absolutely mouth watering and totally gorgeous!.

Lytess Corrective Shapewear

I have been wearing Lytess a smarter brand of shapewear. Lytess takes shapewear into the realm of science with their embedded microencapsulated ingredients that are released as you wear their pieces. It’s intelligent shapewear for the modern woman, complete with that je ne sais quoi of French luxury.

Lytess is what is known as corrective shapewear this was part of my mission to looking leaner, each line provides different long-term benefits for your body. Each piece of Lytess shapewear slims without being constrictive. They contain millions of microcapsules that release on contact with your firming ingredients such as Copaiba, Elemi resin, Rodhysterol, Caffeine to mobilize fats and Shea Butter and Sweet Almond to moisturize the skin, thanks to a revolutionary French Technology of Microencapsulated Cosmetics. As the garment is worn, the ingredients are gradually and evenly released onto the skin.

The Lytess mirco-massage line moistens and softens your skin while providing deep tissue nutrition and helping get rid of fat in your system. The specially woven fabric responds to your natural body movements and helps massage and tone your skin. When worn on a regular basis, this line of shapewear will help treat cellulite and improve your skin.

Lytess corrective shapewear uses caffeine and shea butter to help you slim down. The caffeine helps mobilize fats, and the shea butter moistens your skin and helps it absorb the caffeine. When worn six days a week, test models lost as much as four inches off their waist size!




And to be honest it out me in the correct mind set to get fit with acticities such as walking , scooting ! and even running. It has certainly helped me the only down side is now that I have lost a little weight around my hips and thighs etc due to wearing these and excersing , the ones that i wear are starting to slip down !


And even though they are £49.99 it has given me a starter to a healthy lifestyle and a new way of life. This approach may not work for everyone but it has for me and I am pleased with it.
( I was given two pairs of these for purposes of review )
