I’ve put together Halloween movie lists in previous years, but this year it is devoted to just animated Halloween movies! I decided to focus on Halloween animation after watching a new (to me at least!) film recently. I loved it and thought it was really funny! This list is my personal top ten – not in […]

A few years ago I shared my favourite Christmas Songs, and thought it was about time I put them all into a Spotify Christmas songs playlist so you don’t have to be searching for the choons on Christmas Eve/Day/Boxing Day/over the Christmas period!   Ultimate Christmas Songs Playlist Spotify is a digital music service that […]

Whilst I am a big fan of Halloween, scary movies are not my thing… I’m too much of a scaredy cat! I mean, I’m not a total wuss, I’ve seen some in my lifetime, but they’re not the kind of film I seek out… unlike my best mate who is a horror movie fiend! That […]

I realised that for all of the Sunday Sounds I’ve posted on my blog I’ve never shared anything by Bon Jovi, who are one of my favourite bands of all time! To rectify that, here is a favourite track of their, It’s My Life. It feels like a good track to get the new year […]

I was chatting with my sister a couple of days ago, and she asked what year the boy was in, in school now. I said “Year 11”, and she was like “noooooo, he’s not in Year 11!” and I said “yup, I have a son in Year 11”, so she said “he’s taking his GCSEs […]

If I had to listen to one song for the rest of my life it would have to be Affirmation by Savage Garden. I’ve had the immense pleasure of seeing Darren Hayes sing Affirmation, live several times in concert over the years, and it’s a real crowd pleaser of a track! Listen to other Sunday […]

My husband bought us tickets to go and see Lionel Richie in concert next year at the O2 – I can’t wait! I’m quite irregular with my Sunday Sounds posts, but I thought it was fitting to share one of Lionel’s choons! I’ve picked You Are My Destiny which is one of my favourite up […]

Tomorrow is my son’s 15th birthday – I can’t believe where the time has gone. It seemed like only yesterday that I held him in my arms for the first time… When he would cry, and nothing could calm him down, one song would always soothe him, and that was a song by Boyzone – […]
