For a bit of fun I was challenged by The Sun to buy something more exciting with £9.50 then a fabulous holiday.

We're not ones to turn down a challenge so we happily accepted but it was only when the £9.50 arrived that we truly struggled to thing of something. What is exactly more exciting then a holiday?
We searched the Internet for ideas and we trawled town for what seemed like hours in the hunt for something that excited us more then a holiday.

We even asked total strangers and the reply we got was that there isn't anything more exciting then a holiday , especially a holiday that only costs £9.50 . What great help they were.
So we decided to think outside of the box , to me what excites me more then a weekend/week away? The answer was staring me straight in the face.


This to me is more exciting then a holiday :











Watching my Son play with his toys , so we took the £9.50 and bought Oli some new toys with it. Watching him play happily with them was both exciting for him and us. Which to me is money well spent.


Could you buy something more exciting then a holiday with £9.50?

Huggies have set a challenge in the form of messy play , They want to see your messiest photos of your little ones and yes there's prizes for the messiest entries!

Before a few weeks ok I would of freaked and ran away from the word messy
child. I hate mess and the thought of Oli ever getting messy was a
nightmare that I didn't want to experience.







But you know what? It wasn't a nightmare at all , when asked at our local baby group if Oli
wanted to join in with some painting I hesitated at first but agreed. I
stripped him down to his nappy and let him loose with a paintbrush.
He was in his element and it bought smiles to my face seeing him have such
a fantastic time getting messy. He even created his first painting
which is now proudly pinned to the fridge.





We tried to recreate some mess yesterday for the Huggies
challenge at lunch time when we had curry , it resulted in not that
much mess but in Oli bending his spoon which I did get on video.
