I Love Firework Night

I love firework night!

The smell of the bonfire, the whirring noises of the fireworks and of course the yummy spuds and soup!

Admittedly fireworks throughout the year are a bit tiresome but I do like this time of year, and in my book it officially means... Christmas is coming!

Newcastle United announce email address for stadium name

Yes you read that right Newcastle United have decided to call their stadium -  sportsdirect.com @ St James’ Park with immediate effect.

Managing director Derek Llambias said the famous ground would bear the name of owner Mike Ashley’s Company until the end of the season, when naming rights would be sold on the open market. Ashley angered supporters of Newcastle United late last month when he announced the club’s plans to rename the stadium for commercial purposes, having taken them off the market.

Llambias said of the re-naming announcement;

"We could have worded it better, and that's why we came out yesterday to explain what we're trying to achieve. With the renaming it was always going to be whatever brand it was, at St James' Park. For the remainder of this season, we already have sportsdirect.com on the Gallowgate so we'd like to take that branding through the rest of the stadium"

I can’t speak for the Newcastle fans but obviously the announcement of the renaming was met with hostility and I only can think how ludicrous it would be for Old Trafford to be renamed. There is clearly no thought for the fans and the history of the ground. As a football fan Ashley needs to go and let Newcastle move on with a new owner.

I also thought Sports Direct is a bit chavvy or is that just me?

My First Graze Box

What is a graze box?

A graze box is a healthy snack/lunch that is delivered to you through the post. The snacks included in your box include fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, natural treats, special mixes and olives.

Simply pick out what days you would like a box (great for work lunches as it can be delivered to your work and maybe suggest it to your boss as a good healthy lunch for all the staff!) and then go through all the choices of foods and select your favourites and "bin" the ones you never want to be picked. Then the graze people will make up a box based on your selections and the box fits through your letterbox - perfect!

At the moment due to postal strikes they are making special boxes called "postal strike boxes" which do not include fresh fruit incase they don't get to you in time.

I was really happy with my first box, they had selected;

Fire Nuts - hot chilli almonds, hot chilli cashews and wasabi coated peanuts (these wasabi ones were sooooo hot so have a drink handy!)

Korean Chilli Rice Crackers - These were super yum, rice crackers are a bit boring but not these

Dried Raspberries - Looks like raisins lovely

Yoghurt Coated Peanuts - LOVE THESE!

My first box came last Tuesday and I have another coming tomorrow and logging onto graze today it says they are packing my next box that will come tomorrow! So excited!

Boxes are £2.99, how much do you spend on your lunch everyday for work?If your good and always make your lunch and therefore save yourself money already, be warned soon everyone will be getting these delivered to their work desks and you could be the only one with homemade sandwiches!

All the packaging can be recycled so no waste! It's a great find and if you enter: NPGZLH9B in the code section when you checkout you can get your first box for £1. Check out graze now!
