Happy Shrove Tuesday! (pancake day!!)

As always, i get very excited when it comes to pancake day.. growing up my mom made it a tradition that we'd have pancake's for tea without fail every year, even if she's been working night shifts (as a nurse).

My mom is a christian so also the Shrove Tuesday link always made pancakes more yummy, knowing that we would all give something up for lent the following day.

I'm looking forward to trying out some new pancake flavour combinations this year as i think it's time to change things up a little bit..

My list of flavours are:

• Blueberry and banana
• Nutella with walnuts
• Lemon curd

But of course i will also be using the traditional favourite: Lemon juice and sugar!

I hope everyone has fun making pancakes and i will put another post up later with my attempted efforts of the night!

Happy flipping! :)

BzzAgent: McVitie's Breakfast Biscuits

Thanks to BzzAgent i had the opportuntiy to test the New McVItie's Breakfast Biscuits before they were released instore. 

These are available in the flavours if:

• Porridge Oasts with Red Berries
• Porridge Oats with Apple & Sultana
• Porridge Oats with Honey

My flavour was the Porridge Oats with Red Berries.

I was sent the product in a discrete plain cardboard box with a simple 'BzzAgent' sticker on the front. I think this is brilliant as it keeps everyone from knowing if there are valuable products inside but when it's delivered, you still know exactly where it's from yourself.

When opening up the box i was greeted with a lovely message saying "Thankyou for opening your package so quickly!" Which i thought was a very nice personal touch as it gave me the feeling that my opinion mattered.

The box itself looks brilliantly bright and instantly noticable with the usual McVitie's logo. It looks very attracted and i definitely think that i would be drawn towards it in a supermarket. Especially as at the minute, they are retailing at just £1 in Tesco!

Opening the box, i found 6 packets of 4 biscuits. The packs are individually wrapped in a little cellophane packet so easy to fit in your handbag with no mess! The biscuits are about 15cm in length which i think are quite big so i was quite impressed.

As to the taste:

When you bite into the biscuit, it has a nice crisp texture but is also quite light. The flavour is also quite strong but without being overpowering - they are really yummy!

I found the flavour of oats came through with a nice hint of the red berries which made the biscuits really enjoyable as well as quite filling. I will definitely be taking some with me to work tomorrow to see how they settle into my office routine!

I definitely recommend these and i will definitely be buying a few boxes on my weekly shopping trip!

Rating: 5/5

Bzzagent: Who are they?

I have been a  loyal member of BzzAgent for around a year now and love every second of it!

My Opinion:

To me they are an absolutely brilliant company who give me the chance to try new products for free, before they are released in stores and they also give me the chance to pass the word on to people i know with the help of money-off vouchers. I can't recommend them highly enough and if you're interested, definitely get involved!

Random Acts of Kindness

There's nothing better to brighten your day than when you can't quite afford a bus ticket to work and a man at the bus stop offers to give you 20p..

Without anything being in it for him, he was just simply being nice :)

It made me realise that the littlest things can make someone's day. And i wondered that if it makes people smile, why not do this more often?

This blog hop started when Clara received help on her new home by people she had never met before.

I then saw this on A Normal Girls blog and felt i just had to get involved!

So how does this work?

The first 6 people to comment on this blog-post will be sent a suprise, just a little something nice, either shop bought or homemade. It will be sent out sometime in 2013 but i won't tell you when, just so it's an unexpected surprise which should hopefully make you smile :)

Although i do ask that if you do comment, please join the link-up. So that happiness can keep being passed to others.

While we're on the subject why not check out the Random Acts of Kindness UK Facebook page or the Random Acts of Kindness UK website? 

So get commenting!

Also could the first 6 people please email me their address to: angie_m1992@hotmail.co.uk
