Slimming World Mushy Pea Curry Recipe

 When I heard people talking about mushy pea curry at my Slimming World class and saying how easy it is to make and delicious it tasted I thought I would give it a try. I will admit when I heard people talking about it I thought it sounded horrible but it really is tasty and very filling, it works well with rice or as a jacket potato topping. 

So here is my version of the recipe.

Ingredients - Serves 4

• 2 tins of mushy peas
• 1 tin of baked beans
• 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
• Diced chicken ( optional )
• 1 large sliced onion
• Few sliced mushrooms ( optional )
• 2 crushed cloves of garlic
• 1 teaspoon chilli powder
• 2 tablespoons of medium curry powder

Introducing My Britmums Live 2015 Sponsor

AD

In two weeks time I will be off to London to attend Britmums Live which is a two-day blogging and social media event. It will be my very first time attending any kind of blogging event and is a bit out of my comfort zone, but I know that I will learn a lot, which will hopefully in turn help me to improve and grow my blog in the future. 

And it is thanks to my amazing sponsor that I am able to attend this event.  I am so pleased to announce that my sponsor is MAM UK. A brand that I am sure will need no introduction as I bet all parents and parents-to-be are aware of the brilliant baby and toddler products they make.

Pikku The Best Children's Hair Salon In Newcastle

AD 

* Update 2025 - Pikku has now closed down, however a new children's salon called Little Locks Gosforth is now open at the same place with some of the Pikku staff * 

Last week I took Sophia aged two to get her hair cut at Pikku on Gosforth high street, just outside of Newcastle. As a mum of three, I have been to many children hair salons over the years and Pikku is without a doubt the best one we have been to  -  I honestly think it is the best one in the Newcastle area.

Pikku is situated on Gosforth high street opposite the Brandling Arms right in the heart of the high street, it is just a few minutes drive from Newcastle city centre. Many of the buses to and from Newcastle pass through, it is also just a short walk from regent centre metro and there are two car parks located very close by.

Wicked Uncle Online Toy Shop Review

AD

Being a mam of three children I love shopping for gifts for them for birthdays and Christmas, but when it comes to shopping for friends or relatives children I don't have a clue what to buy them. So when I heard of Wicked Uncle online toy shop I was pleased to see that this was an online toy shop that would make this task a lot easier.

The website is really easy to navigate and is broken down into sections by age and gender, making it so simple to select a gift for whoever you are buying for. You just click on the age and gender of the child you are buying for and a selection of toys will show up to suit a range of different budgets.

 There is a good range of toys available to suit any child and budget and you can even choose to have your item gift wrapped and sent directly to the person you got it for, perfect for sending to a child you may not see often. It makes present buying so stress-free. 

Chemist Direct : Review

AD

As a mam of three, with two of my children being very young shopping, can be a bit of a nightmare.  I avoid it as best I can these days and prefer to do most of my shopping online. Clothes, groceries, Christmas and birthday presents are all ordered online from the comfort of my own home.

So when I heard of Chemist Direct I thought what a brilliant idea, as it is as the name suggests an online chemist. You can order your prescriptions online and medicines if you are unwell and unable to get out of the house. You can also order everyday toiletries, beauty products, baby products and they even have a holiday and pet section.
