It’s the ‘Ocean View Two Bedroom’ which was like a little house, with an upstairs and downstairs, built into the hillside. Both rooms had outdoor space and their own shower rooms. Such a great option for a family.

We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in S We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in St Lucia staying at @windjammerlanding and it was just the holiday we needed. Two weeks of sunshine and relaxation in what must be one of the most beautiful islands in the world. 

We can’t wait to go back again in the future. Here’s just a little snippet of our trip.
AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @na AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @national_motor_museum despite the rain! The children loved the Little Beaulieu play area and we loved exploring the National Motor Museum and Top Gear exhibit before having a ride on the monorail! We went on an old open topped bus, explored the Beaulieu Manor House and loved the gardens. 
Beaulieu is always a great day out - whatever the weather. This summer they have a whole ‘Summer of Fun’ planned, with activities most days - parades, bird shows and hundreds of sculptures within the grounds too. If you’re looking for a day out this summer definitely think about heading to Beaulieu.
AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to t AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to their first concert - but it was so much more than just a concert! @abbavoyage is incredible. With CGI ABBA and a live band, it’s like being at an ABBA concert 40 years ago but with modern lighting, effects and sound. ABBA look and sound real, it’s a mind blowing experience.
The set includes all the songs you know and love as well as a few less familiar ones.
You can’t take photos during the show which actually made a refreshing change. A whole arena focused purely on the show and soaking up the moment. It’s definitely something the four of us will always remember.
Now, I’m off to sing Dancing Queen all the way home.
AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdo AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdockyard today. They have a fantastic Ultimate Explorer ticket that lets you visit all the attractions as many times as you like for 12 months - and after a day at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard we can see that you need more than one day to really do everything!

We explored HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Exhibition - which is incredible! We also saw where ships are built and restored and spent time in Action Stations where the kids climbed and did an assault course.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is such a fun, educational day out with something for all ages - we can’t wait to go on their harbour tours next time we visit!

They’ve both had a great year at school this year. Troy’s first without his sister by his side and Athena’s first at secondary school. 

They both had great reports, always did their best and have made some really lovely new friends this year. I could not be more proud of them.

Now, let’s go and enjoy the next six weeks before school starts all over again!

A Great Way of Getting Jobs Done – Introducing S2DNT {Now Toptask} | AD

*This is a paid post

Since the time of writing S2DNT has rebranded to be Toptask – the same great platform just with a shiny new name.

Have you ever needed things doing and just not had the time? Or had something to plan and no idea where to start? Wanted help with something and not known where to turn? Well that’s where S2DNT comes in.

A Great Way of Getting Jobs Done - Introducing S2DNT

S2DNT is a great new app that finds a student who can do pretty much any job for you. This can be literally anything you need doing around your home or workplace or it can be jobs that they can do remotely. At the moment S2DNT is only available around London but to test out their service I decided to use S2DNT to get some remote work done.

You can download the S2DNT app from the Apple store or Google Play and create any tasks that you would like completed. These are set out in categories and have suggestions like needing a tour guide around London museums, tutoring, babysitting, translation, office work or web based activities. The task I created was for someone to make some buttons for my blog sidebar.

This is something I knew wouldn’t take long for someone with the right skills and I thought an hour would be long enough for them to create it. I had the choice of paying by the hour at a rate of £17.50 per hour minimum or I could pay a set amount for the task. Any payment has an admin fee on top of just £2.50.

Once a student has applied for the task, and you have accepted them for the task, you then pay for the work to be done. This payment is kept by S2DNT until the work is completed but it means that the student will definitely get paid but you have the reassurance that the job will be done to your satisfaction prior to the student receiving the payment. Payment can be made by all major cards however the app does have a Paypal symbol on it but only the card option was available.

S2DNT then lets you chat to the student in a messenger format to make sure that the student knows exactly what is required. For my task I was able to explain a bit better about what exactly I needed, the format, colours etc before the student got to work. The only slight niggle for me was that the messaging service didn’t have a spell check function and it also had a character limit but these were simple to work around.

The student then got to work creating the buttons for me. In the end he emailed me a draft, I asked him to make some changes and he emailed me a second set of buttons across shortly after which fitted the bill. We both then confirmed on the app that the task was complete and payment was released.

For me, S2DNT has been a great service to complete a task that I didn’t have the knowledge to be able to do myself and it was something I could delegate to someone else to do at a standard hourly rate for that kind of work. It also meant the student I chose – Calvin – got paid for work that he completed, a great way to earn extra money whilst studying and from the comfort of his accomodation.

But, S2DNT isn’t just for tasks like mine. I can see it being used by people to get any jobs done or helps with any tasks – from showing them the best places to drink on a London night out, introducing them to the lesser known tourist attractions or working as a guide around some of London’s favourite landmarks.

But, they could also fill temping positions, teach you something or help to organise things for you. There is literally no end to S2DNT’s uses and it really helps create jobs for students and find someone to do any task that you have to hand. I’ve loved using S2DNT and will definitely be using it again in the future.

    I really like this idea. I know my sister struggles to get work at uni that pays a reasonable rate and you’re right, there are loads of little jobs that students could do that would save people a bit of time. I’m going to check it out next time I need to get some work done and I’m going to pass it onto my sister too.
