As you may have seen if you follow My Mummys pennies on facebook or Twitter our whole family has really been getting into the Olympic Spirit! I've really surprised myself as I'm not a sporty person and usually let sporting event pass me by, however with Olympic fever sweeping the nation it's hard not to catch it also!
We had a great time watching the torch relay going through our local town, loved watching the opening ceremony and have been glued to the TV screen for lots of the events and to celebrate the Medals! Go Team GB!!
E's nursery have really gotten in the spirit too having their own Olympic week with dressing up, fun, games and food from around the world! B has been the most enthusiastic of us all creating his own Olympic games in the garden, making his own torch, medals and an Olympic Crown!
My Husband and children, along with their Grandad and Great Grandad, were lucky enough to actually attend the football quarter finals between Japan and Eygpt at Old Trafford! They were cheering for Japan and were thrilled when they won!
I'm actually quite sad that it's almost over!
Over the last few weeks I've gone from not being that bothered by anything #London2012 to wanting to make sure we all have memento's and souvenirs of the Games! We werte sent a lovely Wenlock soft toy to review and I found some fabulous bargains in a local Quality Save shop so why I was filling up on Goodies for my family I thought I'd share the Olympic love and buy a few extra to send to some of my lovely readers!
So up for grabs we have....
A fabulous London 2012 Stick-On Felts set
A souvenir bundle consisting of a Union Flag Wenlock keyring and 8 colour pen set and a Wenlock mini toy car (age 3+)
A small mandeville cuddly collectable soft toy(10months+)
a Rafflecopter giveaway
