Well, we resisted as long as we could but our older two kids are well into Fortnite. It’s pretty much all they talk about nowadays and it has been quite an eye-opening experience. Before we go on, I’d like to take this opportunity to apologise to everyone who knew me when I was their age. …
Disclosure: I received a copy of Gigantosaurus The Game to review and keep. Youngest has shown a real interest in video games lately. So, when I was offered the chance to review Gigantosaurus The Game, I knew she’d be happy to help out. Based on the popular Disney Junior show of the same name, this …
I’ve been playing quite a lot of Football Manager lately. Once everyone else is asleep, I fire up the computer and play a few matches, handle press conferences and try to keep in control of finances. Yes, this sounds both geeky and not particularly fun at all but I love it. I completed my second …

There’s one area that makes me cringe a little. That of my older two and video games. If there’s a way of repurposing a popular title inappropriately, they’ll …
I’m generally very good at spending money wisely. That said, I end up buying something truly random every now and then. A certain purchase last night is a case in point. There was some leftover roast chicken in the fridge after lunch with Kate’s side of the family. We fancied some sandwiches with a couple of …
