When I can't decide what to cook , for the family , often the first thing that comes to my mind , which is a real winner with my kids is a pasta ! You can never go wrong , with it . The carbohydrates fill you up and it's always very satisfying .
I just wanted to share a recipe I often use myself , with you all . It has my favourite ingredients in it , Shrimp and Bacon which makes it doubly mouthwatering :)
Shrimp and Bacon Pasta ( Linguine )
6 strips of thinly sliced bacon
3 cloves of minced garlic
15 cherry tomatoes cut in half
400 grms of pasta ( linguine )
250 gms of shelled shrimp
1/2 cup of frozen peas
1/2 cup of cream
salt and pepper to taste
3 spring onions chopped up
In a hot pan fry the bacon crispy . In a large pot of boiling water add salt and the linguine
Now add the garlic and the shrimps to the bacon and fry till the linguine is ready , should be at the same time . Once the linguine is ready add it to the bacon shrimp and garlic in the pan . Before also adding the peas boil it for 3 mins should be good . Now when you add the peas , throw in the cherry tomatoes & cream , cook till the cream thickens add salt and pepper to taste . Just before it's done add the spring onions and it's ready to serve .
It's sure to be your families favourite too !!
Hope you enjoy cooking this , and may it bring a big smile to your lips :)
Have an awesome day . Keep smiling !

Spanking !! Is It Acceptable ???
In the past few days , the topic among most people has been " Is it okay to spank your Child ? " well , it was not plucked out of thin air , for people to discuss . It was Pope Francis , who sparked all this discussion when he , happened to say "It's okay to spank your child ,if they have been naughty , never on the face , but on the bottom or the legs " It has been a shock for some people , that our holy father brought up this subject ! Some people might now think , it's okay to spank because Pope Francis condones this behaviour ! We have moved so far forward , that it is , no more acceptable to spank a child . Yet , if you are a certain age ,lol .. it would have been completely normal to feel the fury of a parent and get spanked . But that , no more can be permitted . I speak from experience , my mother , regularly not only spanked me , but choose to beat me up . Repeatedly I informed her , I did not like it , but she dished out this punishment to me . Okay let me just say , it only reinforces a child to become very stubborn and give backchat , so no purpose served !
When a person chooses to use a spank to express displeasure , at whatever the child has done , that in actual facts has nothing to do , with the child's behaviour and trying to discipline them. It has everything to do with the person who has raised their hand . It is their own frustrations , that unleashes the beast - anger ! They are not in control of themselves ( the parent ), and are frustrated ,angry and do not know how to express themselves . If you don't have patience , then any little thing can set you off . Generally it is the mental state of anyone getting angry , that is the bigger problem than the child .
Just to say, why I was beat , because I was not a naughty child !! It was mostly because I refused to eat my food all up ! Yes I wasted alot , but that is me till today . I don't overeat ,and children often , know how much , they need and will always eat , when they are hungry ! Oh yes another reason , was doing bad at maths in school , caused my mother's fury , but of course I always said I had no ambitions of becoming a mathematician ! I am quite happy at being quick with money and calculations , because that's all I need in everyday life ,nobody can cheat me , lol .. No I still can't figure out logarithms , geometry still foxes me but heyho I'm not about to boost about any maths skills , I'd leave that , to the girl , who aced Maths at school ! Where is she today , I wonder ? Probably cooking for her kids and being a Mum and not proving her Maths skills , because I bet it doesn't make any difference to her kids . Kids don't care how clever their parents are, because kids are always embarrassed by their parents and tend to think they know more anyways .
On the other hand , a child is very forgiving of their parents , that is why parents think it's easy to smack a child . They have unconditional love for the people who brought them into this world . Yes I love my mother , more than anything on this earth and she has ,apologised to me many times , in the years before she died , because I never let her forget , the spanks , I reminded her very often . Yes , I am a tough cookie , lol ..must have been those spanks ;)
As a mother myself , I know she was probably just frustrated with her life , she was young and had no income , she was a housewife so dependent on my father for every penny , had to ask for anything she needed , which is not a nice situation to be in !! I completely understand and forgive her from every corner of my heart .
I am very happy with my life , have no frustrations , so I am very tolarant and I never tend , to get annoyed with my children . Hence they are very good children . The best thing to do when people feel they are losing control , is to take themselves ,out of the situation and not pay attention to any naughtiness . Inform your child , I know what your doing , and I'm going to ignore you and when you need something don't come to me , till you have apologised and tided up , if they are making a mess or rectified any of the bad behaviour . Ignoring hurts more than shouting , yelling and hitting which make's you look like a complete retard !
Love your children , don't put pressure on them to live up to your expectations , which will only frustrate you . Let your children be themselves and express themselves in their own manner . every child is different and has different capabilities .But every child is loving , good hearted , kind and their aim is always to please their parents , if you let them know everyday , how proud they make you !
Lock the word spanking away in a cupboard , throw the key away and forget that word exists . It has no use in todays society raising good children . The war should be over , give peace and love a chance !
Have a wonderful Sunday , and be the best parent you can be because NOW is your Chance !
Keep smiling !!

Isolate Him , Isolate Him !! Yet Katie Hopkins is loved and Is still Looking At Victory ...HHHmmm
So I was shocked last night when Perez Hilton , got the Boot from the CBB House . I have every sympathy for Perez , I guess I am just like Nadia . Had I been there in the CBB house , I would have befriended Perez and remained his loyal friend .
Since when have we learned , it's okay to tell ,all your friends in a gang , Isolate him , Isolate him and have everyone follow suit . Of course , it is very traumatic, and if nobody can understand that , I am at a loss for words ! Something was lacking in your upbringing , for sure ! People who feel isolated can respond in 2 ways .. go into their shell , get into a deep depression and become a sucidel mess ! Or like Perez and defensibly , something I would do , become completely outrageous . It's a defense mechanism !! Have you heard of it ?? It really pissed off the other Housemates who , were hellbent on winning ( Yes , by lying on the sofa , doing nothing all day ) and receiving a big pay check , at the end of the programme . Perez entertained everybody , and viewers whether you liked him or hated him , he featured massively ,on the one hour daily show .
Yes he humped the garden furniture , which outraged everybody , lol .. But did Big Brother show , why he did it ..or is everyone not interested in knowing any facts ?? He was isolated by everyone , so poor Perez goes into the cold garden on his own , and starts singing , dancing and entertaining himself for an hour . When he comes into the house he sees , all the housemates , huddled up in the bedroom , bitching about him stealing their limelight , and hogging all the attention of the camera's . Why couldn't all 10 of them , other than bitching , be funny and sing their own songs in the bedroom , huh ?? So what does an isolated Perez do ?? Okay so they are outraged , fine buggers , I shall go and hump the garden furniture and cause even more of an uproar !! No one saw the funny side , because they are a bunch of bullys , Yes , they are !!
No one should ISOLATE , anyone in life , especially if you are part of a group ... be it school , college , work place or among family . We are human beings wanting to be loved and accepted , no matter what we say . Yes , Perez does not give a shit about them , but it stills hurts .. we are social people .
No matter what happens , I hope Katie Hopkins and Michelle do not , go on to WIN BB !!
Katie has been the ring leader and vile and everybody seems to have followed her blindly ! Michelle has done absolutely nothing in there , she has been glued to Katie H's side , and only been lazy ,never spoke up and faded into the background . Did you see , all that ? She never dressed herself up and was a slobbering mess all the time . No make-up and NO Glamour !! I thought she was going to WOO the public with Glamorous outfits . The only thing , she has ever uttered , is I want to win for the LBG Community . Do I know anything about Michelle ?? No , Only that she was on Drag Races ! Do I know anything about that .? No and I'm not checking it out on Google either ! I just wanted to know about it from her mouth !She 's the most Boring HM ever !!
Enjoy the rest of your day and I hope you enjoyed reading this and take back something positive from the blog . Keep smiling :)

Superb Anti-Wrinkle Creams , All under 10 pounds , Worth a try :)
February temperatures are always down to single digits , and we can feel those harsh winds drying out our skin , chapping our lips and causing our skin to feel red and patchy . The last few weeks with the icy winds blowing down from Iceland sent figures plummeting further into the minus :( so definitely a time to think about keeping our skin moisturised and finding a great cream that suits are pockets ,as well as, being great on our face .
Never too early to start with some anti-ageing creams , you could be as young as thirty and start using some .
I have made a list of the best Anti- Wrinkle creams all under 10 pounds , which I have used , and have received good reviews . They are all available at Tesco , online and at the stores .
1. Coming out absolutely at the top is the Tesco own brand anti-wrinkle Q10 cream . It's an absolute bargain at 3.99 and is currently being raved about by alot of beauty bloggers and a favourite of mine .
2. Olay Anti-Wrinkle Instant Hydration Night Cream Age 30 + for a 50ml pot it's a bargain ,at just 5.99 and receiving a 4 and a half stars, in reviews . Feels good on the skin and has a pleasant smell .
3.Olay Anti-Wrinkle Aqua Physics Anti- Ageing Day Cream in a 50ml pot, costs just 6.66 and has got 4 stars , in reviews . It is an absolute bargain and will last you a good 2 months !
4. Nivea Q10 Plus Anti- Wrinkle Night Cream . This in a survey just before Christmas came out as the best anti- wrinkle cream tested , and cost a very reasonable 4.99 . A must try , and a favourite of mine !
5.Something a little bit more expensive , but worth every penny is from L'Oreal Wrinkle Decrease Collagen Day Cream . This cream comes packaged looking very rich and lovely , a nice piece to display on your dressing table . It costs 8.66 , and has received 4 and a half stars in reviews . I say it's really worth it , and a must try !
6. Garnier Skin Naturals Ultra Lift Day Anti- Wrinkle firming Cream , comes also in a 50ml container , and costs 6.25 and is a natural , lovely smelling cream .It has received 4 stars in reviews .
7.Another great cream which is actually a serum from Olay Anti- Wrinkle 2 in 1 Firm and Lift Day Cream + Serum it's just 4.99 , under a fiver and a superb buy :)
8. L'Oreal Dermo Expertise Age Perfect Day Cream , costs 7.99 and has received 4 and a half stars in reviews . Worth buying !
9.Nivea Pure and Natural Anti- Wrinkle Night Cream costs a steep 8.49 but comes in some very plain packaging and I'm not sure it's worth the price .
10. Last I would recommend an Anti Wrinkle Eye Cream from Nivea Q10 . It costs 4.99 for a 15 ml tube but is absolutely worth using .
Hope you find the names of these creams that I have recommended useful , so if you go shopping for one , you know exactly which one you want to try and suits your wallet as well . Don't be overwhelmed in the shops with so many different creams to choose from !
Have an awesome day and keep smiling .

Genetically Engineered Babies with 3 Parents !! What A Laugh hhhmm..
If it's not front pages news tomorrow , I'm shocked ! The Government ( the Houses of Common )in Britain have passed a bill , authorizing the Invitro-fertilization of a human embryo , using three people ( YES , "3" people ) basically a very slippery slope "genetic engineering " and playing God . Britain will be the first country in the world to allow this , and it could happen as soon as , next year ,Well if the House of Lords passes the bill as well .
This is beyond anything we know or find normal in our lives . These kids who will be genetically made with the help of three people , would be unlike any other human child who is made from two people ! These designer babies , will be satisfying the needs of WHO ?? Basically people who have alot ( YES alot of money ) and can afford this procedure ! Does anybody think beyond their own needs ( I WANT TO HAVE A CHILD , lol ) to how that child is going to feel , grow up and adapt to this world ?? People need to stop being SELFISH !!! Sometimes it just happens that not everyone can reproduce and the balance of the world is maintained . People are also not meant to be born entirely perfect ! Next they will be trying to rectify an ordinary child , to be able to produce one who is a wiz at Maths , grows up to have enormous strengths and be Mike Tyson , or Arnold Schwarzenegger and have brain power of Stephen Hawking ! This is ridiculous .
How are we going to put a price , on these designer babies ? Would you say they would cost about the same as a Louis Vuitton bag , or the price of Princess Diana's engagement ring , or perhaps the NHS will do it for free ??
This supposedly offers families a glimmer of hope , of having a baby to live without pain and suffering !! That is morally wrong , and taking the high horse , everybody has pain and suffering and that is what ,being human is about . If these people are so desperate to have and love a child , please do so ..Go out and adopt a child and give it love and affection , and toys and a good home . Don't look to spread your genes because wealth makes it possible you can . But who's to say you are not a despicable human being and the world is supposed to endure the spawn of these people . Stick to what is within the boundaries of the world . Live like we are supposed to . The world is already taking a turn for the worse , there is poverty , debt , homelessness , war , beheadings , OMG my skin is crawling and instead of trying to fix the world , we are interested in genetically creating a made to order child !!
How about , making everybody well off , Nobody should ever need to go to a food bank in a wealthy country as Britain !
How about making the jobs advertised , really available , in England !! A friend of mine has been searching desperately , do you know Primark advertised and said go into the shop and hand in your CV . When she went in , the manager was so rude NO , NO we don't accept CV"s go and do it online !! She never hears back from anyone , inspite , of me going with her, and handing in CV's to more than 300 places .
Somebody even told me , Do you know in England no one gets a job , it's an inside thing , if you know someone working in a place , they will get you in ... In other word's connections ,lol .. that sound's pretty bad .What's going to happen to all these Young people graduating , walk the streets , get involved with crime be at a loose end ??
So I'm not interested in this so called , break through and three parent babies . I was HAPPY having ONE MOTHER ,and ONE FATHER . I think Freak , is what the tag , that will be attached for these babies , sadly !!
Okay , enough said in this blog .. I hope you still enjoyed reading this . Whatever state of wealth you are in , I hope you have enough to cover things , like me and still feel blessed and happy . Keep smiling . I love you all , for taking the time ,out of your busy day to read my blogs .Stay Blessed :)

Ten tips to Boost your Memory Power
We all need to boost our memories , especially if we are a certain age , take on all the responsibilities , have children , a business to run , the household , bills ... Well we can do with , a few extra tips to boost our memory power .
I know if I don't keep a diary of birthdays lately , lol I'm forgetting them . Yes had me worried , when I have the memory of an elephant :))
So I've done some research and come up with , some really valuable tips to improve your memory .
1. Starting in the morning , brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand . This stimulates interaction between two sides of the brain , meaning new neural pathways develop , boosting your grey matter .
2. A handful of blueberries in the morning with your porridge ,cereal or natural yogurt for breakfast . They're rich in flavonoids , which increase blood flow to the brain and can improve concentration by 20% .
3. Have a Latte mid-morning . Milk can boost memory , concentration and learning abilities . In fact adults who consume dairy products five to six times per week , did far better than those who rarely ate or drank them .
4. Don't eat a large lunch - it will only make you sluggish in the afternoon . Food rich in B vitamins , such as Chicken , potatoes ,and bananas can help improve your memory and keep your brain healthy and alert .
5. Chewing Gum , sharpens the wits . Tests found people who chewed during memory tests scored higher than those who didn't . The chewing increases heart rate , boosting the oxygen supply to the brain .
6. Have Green tea instead of black . Chinese researchers suggest drinking green tea regularly could improve your memory delay the onset of Alzheimer's and fight heart disease - thanks to the key antioxidant called EGCG ( epigallocatechin-3-gallate ) .
7.Empty the dishwasher while listening to the radio . As we get older , our brain becomes less efficient at multitasking , yet combining activities like cooking while listening to the radio , forces it to do two things at once .
8. Indulge in a few squares of dark chocolate . Studies have linked compounds in chocolate , called flavanols , with improved memory .
9.Arrange a night out with friends . People who have plenty of social contact with others are less likely to develop serious memory problems . Research has found that socializing stimulates the mind , keeping memory and mental abilities sharp .
10. Get enough sleep . Lack of sleep boosts the formation of amyloid beta , the toxic protein that clogs up the brain , according to a recent study .
So hope you all , found reading this helpful , with a few good tips to boost any flagging memory .
Keep smiling and have an awesome day .

Sporty Sunday , Andy lost ,but Can the Patriots Win ?? I Hope !!
It was a cosy Sunday , just spent all day indoors , didn't feel the need to bundle up in the cold ,cold weather and meet the elements ! I did wake up early to make sure I didn't miss any part of the Australian Open Tennis Final with Andy Murray in it ! Surely he was going to do it today , he's been in the Final five times . of course he plays like a Champion and I hoped he was going to snatch the title and make Britain and me proud :) He started off the game playing some brilliant tennis , if you happened to catch the game you would know what I'm talking about . After two fighting sets , he suddenly lost rythem ,from tiredness , a negative attitude ?? It turned the entire game on its head . He lost the third set and went down in the fourth 6-0 yeah shocking ! He did have surgery on his back just fifteen months ago , but commentators kept insisting it was his negative attitude that ruined it for him . I tend to agree with them , it's okay to vent and let the frustration out but then pick yourself up , be positive, and then things tend to go the way you want ! I often tell my children it's mind over matter ! The force within you , that accomplishes miracles .
I always rock a positive attitude , never think negative and it has served me well . Andy Murray needed to keep his coach Ivan Lendl . He was a determined man and always focused on his goal . Ivan Lendl was a brilliant tennis player , even though I was not his biggest fan , I have great respect for him . I hope Andy Murray ,gets himself a Grand Slam this year , I know I'm rooting for him .
Right now the Super Bowl is going on and with my telly on , I'm watching and typing ..yes women can multi-task . Okay so I don't know all the rules of American Football but I know a bit of the game and who cannot watch Tom Brady play , lol ... I hope the Patriots win but , I have a feeling the Seahawks are going to be the Victors !! And the 80 ad. slots , yes I just saw Kim Kardashian advertise something ,about DATA ..okay whatever that was , all I noticed was the enormous booty !! But I love Katy Perry , and she's going to sing at half time , and I'm a fan .. so it's all in all an awesome sporty day , even if I only did my exercise /keep-fit routine in the confines of my bedroom . Heck tomorrow I shall go for a long jog !
Hope your Sunday was as exciting as mine , and you enjoyed reading this . Always stay positive and "faith can move mountains " Keep smiling ..
