Our Skylanders Party!

IT'S SWAP FORCE DAY!

I have been planning today for some time. In fact, I wrote most of this post a few days ago so that it would not interfere with the actual day (although since Skylanders is a two player game and at least 3 of us want to play at any one time I will no doubt wind up on here waiting for my "turn"). We are SO in to Skylanders.

Today is the day that Swap Force finally got released in the UK. It's been the hot topic of conversation in this house for weeks, months even, but this week we've been counting the sleeps until Swap Force. And today we  have.....
  • Starter Kit which has been on pre-order for delivery for MONTHS
  • Dark Edition which was an after thought coz me and the Hubby really wanted the limited edition characters.
  • 4 Swappables
  • 1 Non-swabbable
  • 2 FREE LC Hex (one with each version, stashed one away)
  • 1 FREE Giant! (put away for Christmas)
  • Adventure Pack (put away for Christmas)
  • Battle Pack (put away for Christmas)


I promised the kids a little Skylanders party today, just for the 5 of us. I've been and bought a Skylanders cake from the supermarket (while scouting round for good prices on Swap Force figures) and ordered a pizza delivery for dinner. I've even bought some fizzy pop just to really push the boat out and let the kids go totally mental!

So we have a weekend of gaming ahead of us. I doubt we'll answer the phone or door to anyone (other than the pizza man) and will likely stay in our PJs for most of it too. The kids will stay up late and get over tired and bicker with each other, and us. But for the most part we'll have fun. After all, it's not often that we get a great new family treat like this. A nice early night on Sunday will see us all right for the week ahead.

Here's hoping they release a new wave of characters in time for Christmas, it would solve a lot of present buying issues!

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
