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.

Out of Africa

I grew up listening to tales of Africa so the far reaches of the Savanna were always in my home, it was if I could feel the dry hot heat of the African nights where my dad grew up in Kenya. They used say that to journey into Africa is like going into the heart of darkness and this is so very true of those ancient explorers.


Stories of Africa were further complimented by my granddad who served during Africa in the war time , these included tales of gentleman who were to inherit fortunes but didn't make it back as their planes tragically crashed in the African desert.

Africa had provided mystique and intrigue for writer in their materials for many a fine year, King Solomon's mine,  Out of Africa ( which was a book long before it was a film ) Heart of darkness by Joesph Conrad to but name a few.

I found this in a old book I have its from a Christian Missionary who went to Africa I don't have his name...
