We’re coming into a four day weekend, with Bank Holiday Friday and Bank Holiday Monday. So let’s make the most of it all and start celebrating all across the weekend.

You can also use sm...

Skyping your friends can be a lot of fun, but if you’re doing it every single day surely you might run out of things to talk about. You can only talk about the 20 steps you took to the kitchen and back a few times before your friends will have an exact mental map of the layout of your home. So that being said, we’ve got some ideas for some fun time wasters, and you might l;earn something about your friends too. There’s loads of games that you can download apps for or needs your notes but these are all word games and mind games so you don’t need anything but your friends and the endless amount of time together.  You can start with the game ‘Two Truths, One Lie’. In this game you list three different things, one of them being a lie whilst the other two are truthful. The goal is for your friend to work out which one the lie was. Try to plan them out before you start listing them because it can get pretty obvious when all your brain could think of was that you broke your arm mee...

Whether you like your pancakes sweet or savoury, covered in Nutella, or maple syrup, we’re just around the corner from Pancake Day so make your mind up! There will be some perfect pancake tosses, maybe some not so perfect ones and possibly some on the floor too. Pancake Day has an official name and that is Shrove Tuesday. Shrove Tuesday is a traditional feast day which marks the last day before Lent, traditionally a period of abstinence, that can often involve clearing your cupboards of fats, sugars, eggs, and more. So the easiest way to use up these ingredients comes in the form of pancakes. So, London has taken the opportunity to use Shrove Tuesday to make some of the best pancakes and have some fun too. This year Pancake Day will be on Tuesday the 25th of February, however some places around London have fun pancake related events across this weekend coming too. We’ve got vegan and gluten-free pancakes covered too, so don’t worry! Starting off with some of the fun and festivities...

Valentine’s Day is here, and it’s almost over, it doesn’t mean that you have to settle for bad plans, you can still do so much, and barely even have to leave the house. Valentine's Day can be super expensive, and quite stressful especially when you get down to the wire, however these are super simple fun things to do, with whomever you decide to spend your Valentine’s Day with. Plus, you won’t have to take out another loan from the bank to cover the costs! If these fail, just quickly run down to Tesco and get the leftover flowers and chocolate!

Then you can get all of your favourite snacks, make finger sandwich...
