ad a bacon and cheese bagel and it was suberb electric coffee is very friendly for families with high chairs etc unfortunately i couldn t find an accessible toilet or baby change although there is a toilet for customer use however during the day it s more a pit stop and relatively close to the broadway centre which has recently refurbished facilities including a fully accessible toilet with hoist etc as an added bonus electric is licenced in the evenings and serves craft beers wine and cheese boards my next installment will focus on that faithful friend of the cuppa the slice of cake there are several award winning patisseries in ealing and the new polish restaurant sowa is making waves too watch this space and do let me know where your favourite spot for coffee is electric s website

2015 hello again well i m back blogging after a bit of a break i can t promise posts will be daily or even weekly but i m going to do my best to continue in the shoddy vein of stingy lifestyle that you know and love don t worry i m not going to start a mummy blog i could tell you in a simpering tone that this is because i can t write with the sharp good humour of eeh bah mum or hurrah for gin but actually it is because this would mean starting from scratch and thinking up new ideas with my brain and shiz and i can t be doing with that you know me i sat slack jawed in front of cartoons from long before sleep deprivation kicked in so it s gonna be the same old same old only with added fascination for the toilet and changing facilities on days out to whit the toilets are the only down side to my recent favourite picnic spot brent lodge park this park owned by ealing council is a fantastic free day out with or without the overlords great for a picnic and with the kinds of views you just wouldn t believe from london it s the epitome of a great freebee first off there s a zoo yep an actual small zoo one which does proper rare breed protection of small animals rare farm animals and birds and it s free they fundraise via a small butterfly house and a bouncy castle if i was some kind of proper blogger i would have a photo of an endangered crane or giant rabbit yes these exist and they do exactly what it says on the tin somehow i ve managed not to take a single photo with an actual animal in it so you ll just have to take my word for it honestly swear down there is a little zoo there s also a maze which i got a photo of in addition the cafe is excellent they do the usual light snacks and coffee and more complex meals such as pasta dishes however i would bring a picnic if i were you one side of the park drops off towards the river brent and golf course giving the impression of being in a country meadow with benches and plenty of space to spread out the other benefits from an amazing view of one of brunel s historical viaducts if you walk under this and across a further meadow you get to a pub of the same name just saying it s a summer afternoon in the bag there are two well equipped playgrounds and basketball courts in the recreation ground area of the park the main entrance to the park is an easy walk from hanwell overground station if you re up for major house envy it s a beautifully picturesque neck of the woods there s also a small car park and street parking keep an eye out for where you re actually allowed to park though oh and the toilets and changing fecking rank accessible luckily but made of that bobbly 80s metal and dubiously stained hover and bring your own tissue and hand gel if you ve got a nappy to change it s time to use that travel changing mat on the grass because y know park toilets tis the way of the world anyhoo this is the bit where i ask everyone to comment and tweet and such like so do tell what s your most value added local park thank you thank you motorola for your gift of video baby monitors aka 2 hours of freedom between 8pm and 10pm ramblings from perdita tinsel at 9 05 pm 1 responses email this blogthis

being of the same measurements as mr greedy and having to do a wee every fifteen seconds does not make for exciting around town journeys with it being summer well hopefully it will hang on a few more weeks one thing that a lot of us have in common is wanting easy low fuss hair often a bit more natural and tousled than in the winter months i dye my hair red which is notorious for dulling with heat so am always on the look out for no heat curls and other easy overnight styles here are a few of my most recent online finds a time my no heat curls worked and did not get rained on a rarity in

london pub reviews saturday sunday monday 26 may 2014 back with a bump bargain maternity tips hi everyone yeah i m back been away from blogging and pretty much everything as it s been a bit of a whirlwind as regular readers may know we had a bit of a scary situation last year with losses and a scary trip to oncology the knock on effect being the last few months have been a bit of an anxious kerfuffle of hospital appointment and worry well so far so good i m 24 weeks pregnant now and thanks to my diagnosis and medication all seems normal at the moment fingers crossed anyway enough of the house episode i m going to get right back into my usual bargain shopping type thing now one thing i ve realised over the last couple of months is that maternity wear is both expensive and incredibly boring if you re into vintage or alternative fashion no in fact it s pretty darn boring if you re into mainstream fashion too unless you really really like navy blue and cream stripes with everything oh and spending 30 on a jersey top you re only getting 4 months wear out of here are some of my tips for saving money and looking unique check what you have bloody terrible picture of me in a hospital corridor 16 weeks when you start to expand like a balloon get a little bump spend a couple of hours going through your regular wardrobe put aside anything with no stretch high on the waist tight on the bust or with pictures patterns that might distort for a few months time bring to the front loose wide t shirts tunics or dresses low waisted skirts jeans and trousers use a hair elastic to expand the fly button a few inches leggings generously sized tights and hold ups jersey fitted tops or dresses such as you d find on everything 5 loose jumpers and twinset style cardigans you can fasten at the neck leaving open at the waist belts fasten them under the boobs if you ve ever had the is she pregnant or constipated stare from a stranger you ll know why an above bump belt is wonderful for feelgood factor i m still wearing a lot of this kind of thing at 24 weeks with a proper bump having spoken to friends with children these adaptations can save you money and preserve your style up to 30 weeks some investments i would recommend would be a bump band a band which masks extended trousers or the dreaded builder s bum and a couple of pairs of maternity leggings oh and some comfy bras the only pretty maternity ones i found were in debenhams but primark and m s standard nonwired bras are just as good and cost much less the boxed ones from m s are a favourite of mine adapt your shopping we re going to need a bigger dress ok so after a while you ll want to add to your wardrobe many of your saved items will still fit except that all the belts in the world won t hide the fact you re in tescos in your knickers with your jeans round your ankles because the hair elastic holding your trews up just busted loose my moment was 23 weeks i had some eye watering ligament pain and my waist vanished in 24 hours flat you ll go into mamas papas do a little bit of sick in your mouth and walk directly out again here are some ideas for when you actually need to buy clothes by now you will probably have the leggings and tights and bump bands if not invest they re perfect bases for everything i promise you they ll be on you or in the washing machine 90 of the time in charity shops maternity jeans choose them for the right season ask mates who have kids they may well give sell or swap an old pair ditto black or grey trousers second hand maxi dresses just normal ones often they re very flared with plenty of space for bump growth look for adjustable straps and be open to trying various sizes these can be picked up at any charity shop ebay and of course those cheap slightly dodgy shops on the high street that spring up where there used to be a woolworths or jessops in cooler weather a loose t shirt or blouse over the top makes them do double duty as a skirt band t shirts or any oversized t again charity shops and even primark stock these cheaply they re a perennial favourite and can be worn all year round plus they re meant to be baggy so will be fine when you hopefully spring back into shape afterwards look out for longer tunic style jersey tops bought in a larger size these are an easy way to mix n match in colours you actually like new the most stylish reasonably priced maternity shops i have come across are all online topshop asos new look and george asda unfortunately with the exception of toppers few high street shops keep their range on the shop floor these days so p p it is ebay is great for basics i have made several purchases from purpless great value basics in a range of colours happy mama boutique also does some great jersey bits and their cropped jeans are excellent with all this 90s stuff in the shops harem pants and maxis with elastic waists are everywhere they re cheap and cheerful i buy a size up and pair with a long top worn under bump with ballet pumps for work again as well as the high street keep an eye out at markets the cheap and cheerful one size versions have a lot of stretch happy mama dress purpless leggings for best blue maxi dress 129 if you have a wedding or event to attend you will need to invest in a better quality specially designed item check out isabella oliver a known brand for classic chic which can be adapted to a sophisticated vintage style if that is your taste yes yes it is a bit expensive and posh for me isn t it just as well they have an outlet then isn t it asos maternity lace bodycon dress 40 asos also have some slightly edgier and more fashion forward formal wear as does rock a bye rosie at debenhams these are rather more affordable than isabella oliver a nice thing about maternity evening wear is that it holds its value so you can always ebay it afterwards and of course for a cheaper option which avoids the turning up in the same outfit situation too it s a great idea to pop these brand names into a second hand ebay search i have two weddings and a prom to chaperone this year all three dresses purchased for under 30 i used my usual ebay rules low top bid try unusual end times blurry photos and it paid off all three have clearly only been worn once and will be re saleable after i ve used them well there you go my tips have you got any ramblings from
