Its only a Winters Tale 365

This week it's been back to the grindstone as the saying goes but my job as a teaching assistant is anything but boring its wonderful and I have the pleasure of working with some very special people. I am blessed that my commute to work on my bicycle is not boring and I see so many beautiful things.
This is the misty lane where I cycle down to my place of work at a school.

I feel happiest when I am in the fresh air either with family, friends or on my own I use a camera in a daily basis I like to think I see the world in a unique way .. My way but I do take time to step from behind the lens for if you don't you'll miss the magic! And this is the surrounding countryside of the village of Osmaston where my son was playing football.

A Winters sky so beautiful ...

So that was my week a true Winters tale..

Memories are made of this

So come August I 'll be back in the good old USA in Florida these are some of the pictures I took from last time I went but unfortunately all my picture from the three times I went were all wiped out when one of my old computers went thermal on me. Now I back up all my pictures I can not stress the importance of making sure you back up all your important digital pictures even scanning and saving real pictures.

Dominos Pizza takeaway review

Every so often I want to put down my trusty wooden spoon and break free from the confines of the kitchen and just relax especially when I have had a busy day at school and the husband has been busy ( not quite sure what he does but it must be exhausting !) And then there is the teen they are always hungry aren't they ?!

Pizza takeaway is not a regular occurrence for us but it is nice to have a treat once in a while it makes life the more sweet for it  especially when there is a movie involved. So with this in mind Dominos have launched a New Pizza and movies deal from their current releases or the library. People watch films on a variety of mediums nowadays such as Pc, Mac Ipad etc !


So when Dominos offered Pizza and a movie to me I said "Yes please "  I have just ordered the pizza (but it the time it took me to bung the washing in the machine, run round with the vacuum chase the cat from downstairs, make a cup of tea .) The pizza dutifully arrived I must have had a shocked expression on my face as the pizza delivery man said " You did order this didn't you ?" I said "Yes I just didn't expect it to come so quickly !"


So what did I order ?

1x Box Office Deal: Large pizza, Garlic Pizza Bread, Potato Wedges and a movie rental* for only £19:99     Large (10 slices) Meatilicious     Garlic Pizza Bread     Potato Wedges     Current Release rental 1x 500mL tub Ben & Jerry's - Cookie Dough 1x 1.25ltr Coke Zero

And the cost £34.97

When you place your order on line you will see a deal wizard button that shows you what money you can save!

Now this would have comfortably served four people and it good to have the option of chicken for those who either don't like pizza or only want a little bit of pizza. We were all pleased with the quality of the pizza and the amount of toppings it had on it.

We all settled down to watch a movie while happily munching on pizza ....

There was enough pizza, chicken and garlic bread for Mr T to take to work saving me enough job of making his sandwiches for the next day!


I noticed that you can order gluten free pizza as well  especially as the mother in law is coeliac.


Disclosure I was provided with an amount of £50 to spend at Dominos but I only spent up to £34.97 (  all thought words and opinions are my own and are not to be copied without my permission.
