Review - Chessington World of Adventures Safari Hotel

Review – Chessington World of Adventures Safari Hotel

We took the plunge! We stayed in a Safari room overlooking the Wanyama village.

Driving up the path to the hotel is magical. You get the feeling of being in a Safari with Safari memorabilia everywhere.

Not expecting too much upon arrival we checked in to pure luxury. The feel of the hotel was amazing. There was loads of room at check in and there was even a dragon waiting on everyone’s arrival.

Eating at a buffet. Too much for your money?

Over the weekend we unfortunately landed up in some buffets. Totally unavoidable because that was basically breakfast.

It was Wiggles 8th birthday and the open of Chessington World of Adventures and breakfast was a buffet at the resort hotel.

Eating REALLY good for months has seriously helped me loose some weight. Pretty happy about that, but when you are at a buffet things kind of just happen…

Poor Mr Wiggles

So today the plan of action was to get the children to school and then come home and watch a bit of TV then go and pick them up.

So the first half of that when Rose moved they went to school this morning and then all of a sudden we have a telephone call. Is the school receptionist to tell us that Mr wiggles a.k.a. Our son has unfortunately been sick in school today.

So we rush back after school…

Eating out? What do I do to continue loosing weight? No Willpower

Being at home temptation is non existent (apart from the Takeaway I wanted tonight, but still did not order). I can get through a day easy living on 1680 Calories to loose weight and go to bed and do it all again tomorrow.

The issue I have is when we are not at home. By this I mean hospital appointments, vaca’s and traveling.

Now Becca has a different approach. Becca can eat the bare minimum…

Fulfilling one of my dreams. It has come true and I now can say I did it!

You most probably didn’t know my one goal in life that I have always had was to visit a special place and stay in that location.

Ok so ideally I would love to take the family to Orlando so they can do two things. One – See Harry Potter world at Universal Studios & secondly take them to see Disney (Son – Star Wars, Daughter – Princesses). However being a little selfish I have ALWAYS wanted to go…

One year 365 days, 12 chapters. My 2017 goals.

We are two months into 2017 so far. I’m 30 married with 2 children. This year I have so many goals that I would like to achieve. Some things I would love to do are unfortunately impossible and I will NEVER be able to do them. The two coming to mind are bungee jumping and sky diving!

I’m not a man with the best goals. I’m not making ANY promises or facts I know are going to happen. I just would…

Another Bullying issue happened at the same school but this time involved a child cornering my daughter talking about SEX!

So as you know I posted earlier about our daughter in school. Well this is another stomach churning tale to tell you.

Last year was to be honest a shitty year when it came to Bullying.

Our daughter has time off from school to go to the hospital to talk about her spine and medical issues. So receiving this Bullying story I was purely mortified.

Daughter came home crying from school. Now this is…

I NEVER post this personal to home. But we need to eradicate Bullying. Same school different bullying tactic!

Rarely do I post about certain things BUT I must share this. I know the child has been removed. Good on the parent/s. our Daughter got threatened to have her head chopped off by another student a few years ago with a chainsaw. Same school. How people are bringing up children you this way of life I never know.

I was always taught to respect people as well as myself. If you have no respect then…

Bloody hate Sundays! But there is a good side to them. When Becca cooks really nice food.

Do you get them days where you just hate them? Well mine weirdly isn’t Monday. I don’t get the Monday blues. Nope I get the Sunday blacks!

Sundays I find are the worst days of the week. Just a personal preference. But then Becca comes along with these beauties. Nom nom 😋. Easy to gulp down. Boy did I? Oh heck to the yes!

Home made katsu chicken breasts wrapped in breadcrumbs.

My goodness these…

Being a Dad, 5 things that annoy the s**t out of all dads

Occasionally little things annoy me for no reason at all. Why? Because I am a DAD!

Us dads get a lot of abuse sometimes (Not so much me, however a lot of dads do), If it is being absent because of illness or not being there at the right times. For what ever reason you can get a really bad head because you are a dad! You can take that to the bank and bet on it my friend

So what are dads good for?

Shaming Mobile Phone providers taking advantage of the average phone user 📱.

Mobile phones are pretty cool right? After all you pay for the phone (even if they say it’s free). You would think that’s it right?

What would you say if I told you that carrier settings also include making the company potentially MILLIONS.

This is what I have found.

I opened Settings

Then I was looking to disable vibration so the next step I took was opening the phone tab

Why is this so much discrimination within this world when it is obvious that some things aren't what they seem? Today's blog is about being disabled and being discriminated against.

Why is this so much discrimination within this world when it is obvious that some things aren’t what they seem? Today’s blog is about being disabled and being discriminated against.

I know you’re probably thinking that this is all about Donald J Trump however it’s not this is all about disabled people and the struggle but sometimes comes along when you look like an average whatever that means able-bodied person.

So I’d like to just tell you little story that happened back in 2011 before I got ill. I daughter has been having spinal operation since she was three years old…

Why the lettuce scandals is not affecting me one bit. Not even the courgette or broccoli.

I love the above vegetables. They are the best in the world. I do honestly believe that. I love having trees on my plate 😂.

But since my operation I am not allowed green items including peas (I kind of stumbled I know) but Becca makes the best peas around (mushy that is).

Being on the medication that I am on that the moment it’s very hard for me to not enjoy the thing listed above.
