What if I won the lottery? What would I buy?

As a dreamer I often find myself dreaming about 'what ifs'. One of the common 'what ifs' I find myself thinking about is 'what if I was lucky enough to win the lottery'.

If I was fortunate enough to win big on the lotto, perhaps having won a life changing prize playing one of the world's biggest lotteries on Multilotto, then I would inevitably spend some of my winnings on a dream forever home for my family, a new family car, a once-in-a-lifetime family holiday and finally getting married and having my dream wedding after 5 years of engagement.

Whilst I would be over the moon to win a large enough lotto prize to do the above, any winnings would of course be gratefully received. If my lotto win was a more modest one, or a large win with a some winnings left to spare after the above purchases, I would love to treat each one of our family to a gift of something they would love.

Win a set of Kegel Pelvic Exercise Weights from JD Harris.

Whilst pregnant for a second time with Jelly Bean, the importance of pelvic floor exercises has once again come into the forefront with the midwives kindly reminding me of the significance of strengthening those vital muscles.

After I was pregnant the first time round with Bug, in spite of religiously doing my pelvic floor exercises I saw little benefit and my pelvic floor was not as strong as they had once been. 

As my pelvic floor muscles are far from being as strong as they once were and are under strain in my second pregnancy, with me being very nervous of laughing too hard, coughing or sneezing during my pregnancy with Jelly Bean I have been looking into effective ways to strengthen my pelvic floor muscles so that I regain those strong pelvic muscles.

Thanks to JD Harris I think I may have found the help needed to strengthen my pelvic floor muscles so that I can hopefully laugh, sneeze and cough without being terrified of having an accident.

Lottery win wishlist.

Like most people, I have dreamed about winning the lottery. Dreaming about what I would do if my numbers came in and I won big.

Whilst I may not play the lottery on a regular basis I do dabble every once in a while in the hope of having a little win, or even better a big win!

When I am feeling a little lucky I will pick up a lottery ticket whilst shopping or buy online lottery tickets, then cross my fingers and hope that lady luck is shining down on me and that my numbers come up.

Admittedly if we won BIG many of my spending dreams would be rather predictable ones such as going on a wonderful family holiday and buying a house. I’d also love to treat loved ones to things they desire the most. Putting money aside for our children’s future and a rainy day would also be top of the list if our numbers came in for a BIG win.

Whilst the idea of a BIG, life-changing win is a wonderful dream; I would be more than happy with a win of a few thousand pounds to help make life that little bit easier and enable us to get a few key things that we want most at the moment.

Help your pets this fireworks season - win an Adaptil Calming Diffuser for Dogs with PetShopBowl.

As the nights are drawing and a wintery chill fills the air we are fast approaching fireworks season.  Whilst the colourful fireworks with their loud explosions may be mesmerizing and awe-inspiring for us humans our animal friends can be left scared and unsettled by the unpredictable loud noises that resonate for miles around on fireworks night.

The unpredictable loud noises of fireworks can have a strong effect on pets causing them fear and stress. The noise of fireworks can cause various stress reactions for pets such as withdrawing into themselves, hiding away, wanting to escape from the noise which may lead to them injuring themselves in the panic, soiling the house or shivering with fear.

The following tips may help make fireworks night a calm, safe and less frightening night for you and your pets especially if you know your pet/s hates the noise of fireworks night –

* keep animals inside

* create a hiding place for your pet to snuggle in

* prepare for unusual behaviour and don’t get angry with your pet

* close windows and curtains

* if your pet is used to the sound of the TV/music turn it on to help muffle the sound of fireworks (but not on too loud)

* if you have small pets partly cover their cage/pen with a blanket to help sound proof from the fireworks but make sure they can still look out if they want to and provide extra bedding so your pet can burrow and hide

Realising the importance of keeping pets happy and calm during fireworks night PetShopBowl – a nationwide pet food home delivery company – stock Adaptil and Feliway to help keep your pet calm and happy during firework season.

Being the kind, pet loving company that they are PetShopBowl are kindly offering one of my readers a little help in keeping their pet calm and happy on fireworks night this year thanks to the great giveaway prize they are supplying to one lucky winner…..an Adaptil Calming Diffuser for Dogs (48ml).

Holidays can be a wonderful time for families, where lots of fun and adventures are had as families make memories that can be treasured for years to come.

I look forward to the family holidays we will have over the years and cannot wait to experience fun and adventures with Bug (and hopefully his siblings if we are blessed in the future) on holidays in the UK and all across the globe, experiencing a range of cultures and attractions as well as experiencing a variety of different types of holidays including camping, beach, self-catering, winter and safari.

One of our dream holiday destinations is Disneyland Paris.

As I have amazing memories of a family holiday we had as a child to Disney World in Florida I would love to take Bug there one day to create more amazing memories with my own little family. Not only would I love to go to Disney World in Florida but I would also love to go to Disneyland in Paris too.

Having never been to France I would love to have a family holiday to France where we could combine our want of a camping holiday and our desire to visit Disneyland Paris by camping near Disneyland Paris. It would be dream holiday for us to explore France, camp in a rural setting where we could experience the beauty of the French countryside and visit Disneyland Paris where we could be enchanted by the magic of Disney.

As the costly expense of taking family on holiday can be a hard hit to the bank balance, especially when it is a dream magical family holiday, it always comes in handy if a family holiday can be snapped up on offer to save money or even better still when holiday vouchers are won that can be put towards buying your dream family holiday.

If like me you would love a dream holiday to Disneyland Paris then Canvas Holidays may well be able to help make your dream holiday come true with their latest competition which has an impressive prize of £500 Canvas Holidays vouchers.

If I won big and hit the Jackpot with 888Ladies.

I recently played a new game on 888Ladies called Millionaire Genie.  Whilst the game lacked any skill or social interaction with other players and it was a tad confusing how the amount awarded for winning was calculated the game was eye-catching and interesting.  As I am not a frequent online gamer and have not as of yet played any other game on 888Ladies, Millionaire Genie is my favourite 888Ladies game.

One of things I like most about the game Millionaire Genie is the Arabian Night’s theme and the colourful, beautifully designed animated 3D design of the game.  I admire the designs on the tiles and find the game is made more interesting and visually appealing thanks to the game coming alive when a win is achieved.

888ladies Millionaire Genie review.

When I was recently offered the chance to review a new game, Millionaire Genie from 888ladies I could not resist giving it a whirl especially when I started imaging that the Genie might grant my wishes and award me with a big money prize that would help my dreams come true and make life that little bit easier financially.

Having never used 888ladies before I registered myself on the site, which was a quick and easy process.  With £5 credited in my 888ladies account I set about trying the Millionaire Genie game that is located in the games section of the website as well as currently being advertised on the 888ladies main screen.

Why I want to win a Samsung Galaxy S5 with Virgin Media.

Today when my phone decided to give up the ghost and completely die on me it felt like fate when I just noticed a fab competition to win a Samsung Galaxy S5 with Virgin Media and I just had to quickly take part in the hope of winning a new phone.

I would love to win this competition and win the fantastic prize so that I have a shiny new phone to replace the well-used and abused phone that has decided enough is enough and has gone into retirement. 

I have had my current phone for nearly two years now and it was my first and so far only smartphone.  A little over three months after I had got the new phone Bug accidentally knocked it on the floor and the screen cracked, thankfully as I did not have any insurance on it (alas because I could not afford the extra cost to pay for the insurance when I got the phone) the phone still worked but for nearly two years I have used my phone with a cracked screen, looking at the screen through a myriad of tiny cracks.  Having an ethos of making do, not throwing something that works away to get a replacement and not spending money on myself when it is not necessary I kept the phone and used it regardless of how battered and bruised it was looking.
