Disneyland Paris for teenagers?
19 February 2008
This half term we all set off for Disneyland in Paris. Our boys are now 13 and 11 and I did wonder if the park might be a little young for them. The answer in short was no. They had no interest in the various characters that are scattered around the park and in the hotels. Nor were they interested in the Disney parades, which for the littlies are truly magical. However, they enjoyed the more grown up rides, such as Thunder Mountain and especially the Aerosmith ride! The stunt car show was also a fabulous experience that we all enjoyed. Jim and I tried two rides; the more sedate Buzz Lightyear ride where you shoot various targets and the Space Odyssey ride, which we foolishly thought wouldn’t be too ‘thrilling’ as this was Disney after-all! We were wrong and both sat frozen with our eyes tightly shut until the ‘experience’ was over. The boys loved it, but roller-coasters are not for me anymore! Don’t be fooled in to thinking that every ride is tame. I saw lots of very little children going on these rides. I can’t imagine how they coped, but maybe that’s because at my age I can’t enjoy the feeling of being thrown around and racing down steep declines on such rides. Read more

Wedding Planner
15 February 2008
I wonder how many proposals there were this Valentine’s day? If you were one of the lucky people to have been asked and said “Yes”, congratulations. The next step is to plan your big day.
You may be interested in a Wedding Bible Planner available from John Lewis (£30) and Pickabook (£20.10). Serves as a comprehensive organizer for brides with top tips from a host of wedding experts. This work includes 10 sections with pockets for storing swatches, clippings and quotes. It includes worksheets, checklists, a zipper pouch, business card holder, 2-year diary and pull-out ‘mood board’.
Pickabook also have a Wedding scrapbook (£10.04) that will make it easy for bliss- filled, overwhelmed newly weds to create a book of their first wedded memories. From first-date impressions, to how he ‘popped the question’ and more, this scrapbook allows brides to capture the memories in a truly wonderful way.
Once you have set the date and chosen the venue - there are literally thousands of options open to suit everyone now - you will be on the hunt for your outfit. Major stores such as Marks and John Lewis have wedding sections making it easy to find the outfit of your choice. Even I have to admit that that is something that isn’t easy to do without visiting the shop!
However, what you can buy are
the wedding accessories; invites, table decorations, guest books etc. Sites such as Confetti have everything you need from the invitations to the accessories. For more wedding ideas look in our shop and at Partybox. For our wedding we bought everything to decorate the room like these balloons and helium canister to fill them from Partybox and Confetti.
