ADVENTURES
Amsterdam
It's my beloved husband's birthday today. We decided a while ago that we don't want things but adventures together. These adventures can be tiny, like a new dog walk, or big, where we need to get on a plane. His birthday adventure is a trip to Amsterdam. I...
When Your Dog Needs Mates
Jimmy Malone James is eight months old and in need of chums. He loves being with other dogs but he's an overexcited puppy and a little too much for some owners and their mutts. On a walk he wants to play with everyone. He does not understand that some...
Ladies That Lunch
This was supposed to be a review of a new restaurant that looks beautiful and everyone was talking about because of some heavy duty marketing but I went and the experience was the opposite of fizzy. Slightly upsetting as I am relying on Nora Ephron's famous quote that...
Accidentally In Devon
This is a story of baby brain, holidays and the most positive attitude ever. My mate Steph is the most positive person ever. Not in the extremely punchable "everything happens for a reason" fake zen way but in the "deal with it, laugh about it and have a...
International Festival Gardens
Some places have a really calming effect on you. Where I live in Liverpool we have lots of green space and it's great for dog walking. Before we had the dog there was one space that I loved more than any other. The International Festival Gardens is a five...
Lush Spa
I am in the middle of battling my messy brain. It's not a battle of wits, it's a bloody cat fight and my messy brain has been winning. This cannot continue because living in a constant fog with a clawing feeling in your chest isn't sustainable. As part of the...

CULTURE
Christmas Film – Home Alone
Christmas. The time of neglectful, stressed parents, sibling rivalry, theft, healing family rifts and inflicting terrible pain on people. Bring it on Home Alone! I know it's not the coolest and it is cheesy but it's funny and Christmassy. Kevin is the...
Have Yourself A Spooky Little Christmas
Christmas – a time to celebrate life by scaring yourself to death.

Christmas Film – The Bishop’s Wife
The first movie recommendation of the festive season!
Christmas Radio Times
All hail the King of publications, The Christmas Radio Times.
Sky Christmas Movies
I do like a Christmas film. Give me a snowy scene, Christmas tunes and oodles of good cheer and I'm all over it. I have lots of personal favourites but at Christmas I can suspend more disbelief, ignore the plot crowbars and do more rooting for the underdog. ...
A Boy Called Christmas
Christmas storytelling and the BEST Christmas book.
Kate Rusby’s Christmas Tour
Fizzmas kicks off with the bestest Christmas tour ever.
Paddington 2
Paddington 2, Paddington 2, I am more than a little bit in love with you.
Picturehouse Black Friday Deal
My only Black Friday klaxon this year.
Gentlemen And Players
It's all going on at the moment. We've got Christmas preparations underway, the beloved is working like a demon, I want to paint the kitchen and littlest monkey has a birthday soon. I need to escape and travel is not an option. Instead, I used the tried...
On Quitting
The joy of quitting and other useful skills
Sunday Night Rubbish Movie
It is Sunday evening and it's been a long week. The monkeys came back from holiday rested, recharged and ready for Christmas. I've been working trying to get used to the four day week thing. My panic attacks have increased in frequency which is fantastic timing. The...
The Makers Gonna Make, Make, Make
Going to makers fairs and swooning at the gorgeous things can promote fizziness. A cautionary tale.
Death On The Nile
Kenneth Branagh's Murder On The Orient Express is released today and I haven't decided whether to see it or not. The cast is fantastic but I love the novel and the 1974 film too much to trust myself not to heckle. I rarely break the Wittertainment Code of Conduct but...
A Ghost Story
It's Halloween. I've been petrified of Halloween ever since a primary school teacher taught us Black and Gold by Nancy Byrd Turner when I was 7. The poem isn't scary but the way she recited it gave me chills. Thank you, Mrs Kirkman. You do need to get...
The Omen
Ah, Halloween. A time for unnecessary plastic tat and lots of pumpkins. I'm not a fan of the decor but I do quite like an old school horror movie. I want creepy, unnerving and terrifying. I don't watch as many as I used to and I think you lose your...
Blue Planet II
I am a late adopter of nature programmes. I watched them as a kid but never had a passion for them. Too much risk of peril, emotional trauma and creepy crawlies. No thank you. Then softened by Springwatch, Autumnwatch and Countryfile you end up watching...
Shelfie Issues
My name is Fizzy and I have a serious book habit. For the past few years I have been able to conceal this from my family by only reading on a Kindle but paper books are more enjoyable. You can't beat the sensation of reading a book, it's immersive. So I decided...
FOOD
Supper Eaters
I am working class and Northern. We have breakfast, dinner and tea. There is something of the hobbit about me so there may be on occasion second breakfasts and pints. There are times when I have a hankering for being a supper eater. In my tribe, supper...
The Sunday Roast
It's autumn, the weather has turned, it's time for roast dinners. I like preparing a roast. It's a pottering about the house task. You can stick the tunes on as you peel spuds, have a brew while everything cooks, the smell is amazing and if you can crack...
Hot Toddy
Last night I was going to write this about the joy of old fashioned coziness. This morning I have woken up with a cold and now I simply want to feel better. At times like this there is only one thing to do: make a hot toddy. I can't remember where I got...
Lemon Drizzle Cake
It is my Mum's birthday tomorrow and there needs to be cake. It's a rule. It is my firmly held belief that if it's your birthday, you choose the cake. This is why I can make ginger cake, chocolate cake, black forest gateau, strawberry and vanilla cake...
The Perils Of Sandwich Shops
We need to talk about weird irrational fears. Correction: I need to talk about weird irrational fears. I'm not talking about phobias or sensible fears like dentists and Daleks. I have no issue with them (I mean, I do have an issue with Daleks. They are terrifying)....
Free State Kitchen
I'm out for tea (translation from the Northern: I'm eating my evening meal in a restaurant) and I can't wait. I'm off to Free State Kitchen with my darling G-Boo and I've known my menu choices for a week. I have done my research people. I know the menu well. I...
Slow Food
When you are busy, tired and messy brained quick and easy food can feel like the way to go. Serve up beans on toast or a pile of fish fingers and the job's a good 'un. It's a task off the list, a tick in the box. But quick and easy can make you feel rushed and...
I Scream For Ice Cream
I have said before that I don't like ice cream. Don't dislike but not a fan. Apart from Snickers ice cream, Nicholls of Parkgate, A proper 99er with a flake and monkey blood, the ice cream in Sefton Park and that lovely rum and raisin delight I had in Angelsey, I can...
Breakfast
I am a fan of breakfast. Getting everyone round the table for homemade food at the start of the day feels like a good thing. Today it was pancakes, berry sauce, banana, yoghurt and maple syrup. The pancake is Nigella's and is so simple. We make the dry mix in...
Ending The Hermit Ways
It has come to my attention, thanks to my fabulous friend G-Boo, that I have been of the slight hermit persuasion recently. I have allowed myself to believe that life must be taken very seriously and endured like a trip to the dentist rather than savoured like...
A Troublesome Eccles Cake
The husband has just uttered the following words: "I think I once had a bad experience with an Eccles cake." Now, apart from the mind boggling, I'm stunned by the idea that Eccles cakes can be a bad experience*. Warmed with custard, served with port and...
Frosé
It's Friday and Lucha Libre are doing frozen rosé. Frosé! I may be too excited about this but FROZEN ROSÉ!! Get the fish tacos while you are there. I would also recommend the frozen pineapple margaritas but don't want to be accused of encouraging anyone. ...
Waste Not, Want Not
The Family Fizzy are trying to be more mindful and frugal. We've got big dreams and we want to fund those rather than buy more stuff. We also want to create less waste as this planet is very nice and we'd like to keep it. Finally, in a time when at least half a...
Gin!
In what will probably be a series of reviews I can heartily recommend Gin Mare. It's gin, so I am an expert and you have to listen to me. It's a Spanish gin which is distilled from olives, thyme, rosemary and basil. As you serve it with olives, ice and tonic...
Park Life
Despite growing up in a Liverpool council house, early years reading Enid Blyton and Agatha Christie convinced me that I should be living a charmed existence of midnight feasts and picnics in wicker hampers with silverware and crystal glasses. My family did nothing to...
Ice Cream
I have a confession to whisper. I’m not a big fan of ice cream. I am never going to be the woman who hits an emotional trauma and weeps into her tub of ice cream while wearing whimsical pyjamas. When that happens you will find me in M&S Food buying all the pork...
Feeding The Hoards
We are a family of 6. We have a traditional English fayre lover, an ex-vegan, an ex-vegetarian, a human dustbin, a child who loves lobster and one that would exist on sausages and tomato sauce if we let her. Meal times can be a cross between a circus and hostage...
INSPIRATION
Fighting Your Inner Weasel
Sometimes you have conversations that if anyone overheard they'd think you had gone totally nuts but they make perfect sense to you. Yesterday, the beloved and I had a heated debate about the name of my inner weasel. Your inner weasel is the part of you...
Retuning
Recently The Minimalists' tweeted the following: Let it go. Change the channel. Turn it off. Unsubscribe. Unfriend. Unfollow. Mute. Block. Walk away. Breathe. A simple reminder to unplug every now and again. So far so good but no. As this...
Gravity Is Non-Negotiable
There's something in the air around me now and I'm having loads of discussions about finding your passion and meaningful work in an insecure economy. People have responsibilities and providing for your family comes first, even if the idea of being professional spoon...
A Short Attention Sp…
One of the freaky side effects of having an anxiety disorder is your attention span becomes goldfish like. It’s due to the constant panic and feeling of impending doom. You are constantly checking for whatever is about to kill you next whether that be a herd galloping...
UnLimbited
You know that thing when you are watching telly and then you overcome with a love for humanity and joy at the wonderfulness of people? Well, that happened on Sunday night watching Shed of the Year. The best things happen when you less expect it. In the...
Flexible Working
From 1 November, I will only work four days per week. This should be the "yay! I only work four days a week soon!" post but it's not. Three years ago I was single and living alone. In that time I met the beloved, met the monkeys, the...
Gorgeousness
I read an essay years ago by Elizabeth Wurtzel that has stayed with me. In it she said that many people are pretty, few are truly beautiful but anyone can be gorgeous as gorgeousness is about the way you see and treat yourself. I've been joining in with...
Being Queen Teacake
I never wanted children. I made that decision early and I have never regretted it. There was a moment two bottles of wine in when I demanded little boy babies from the beloved but I sobered up rapid. When I met my husband I knew he was separated with...
Courage
I've been thinking a lot about courage recently. Not the battlefield, flagging waving variety but the quiet, unnoticed version that slowly changes your world. My best friend recently challenged a parking fine. The act of saying "no, this is not fair"...
Lady Cargers
It's my Mum's birthday today and she doesn't want anything for her birthday. I'm ignoring that. I always was willful. Mum, you've had your pressie, there will be cake later. I love you and I want to say thank you. Thank you for having such a great...
Back to School
It's the first of September! It is nearly autumn and I'm so excited. I'm not a fan of new years resolutions. They usually seem designed to stop you enjoying yourself or make you feel less of yourself but an autumn resolution is a different beast.Back to...
Unsplash
The beloved husband and I work hard to make sure that All About The Fizzy looks good. He is an artist and I am an admirer of beautiful things. We can't take all of the photographs ourselves so we've been using a lot of free resources. It's not always easy to credit...
The Endless Search
I've spent the bank holiday weekend trying to chill out. Trying and failing. There have been dog walks, movies with friends, cleaning and tidying, good talks and despite it all I still feel ratty and anxious. After watching the dog make friends (Olive...
Forward Planning
I have been in a funk. A Garfield on a bad day funk and I'm annoyed that I can't get out of my funk. Mindfulness says that you only ever had to deal with the present moment. At the moment mindfulness can kiss my fabulous Scouse arse. What is helping in...
Rest
My brain is fried. I am bringing back the old lingo because that's how I feel. Like the inside of my head has been hooked up to the mains and it's all gone gooey. I am constantly distracted by my phone, I can't settle to read and work? Well, that's just hell in...
Happy Birthday Madge!
It's Madonna's birthday. It should be a public holiday. I have loved Madonna for 35 years. I will love her forever. She was the best role model to have growing up. She was in control, unapologetic, creative and she's not nice. Madonna does not give a...
Surviving The News
The news at the moment is terrifying. Brexit was a cynical political manoeuvre that is dividing my country, there is an American President who thinks that threatening nuclear war is a game and white supremacists are openly marching in America. None of this is fizzy...
A Cure For Your Ills
Isn't feeling overwhelmed the absolute pits? Recently it's been work, work, some more work, monkey wrangling, house stuff, financial management and other soul sapping delights. Saturday morning was filled with chiropody appointments, kitchen cleaning, menu...
Making Work Better
I know it's Friday but if you hate your job you can leave on a Friday night already dreading Monday morning. If so, my sympathies. I have been there and it's draining. My overly basic advice is leave, if you can. Find something else because life is short....
Out Of My Depth
Lately things have not been fizzy. They have been unfizzy. Flat even. Something has been not quite right. That was the start of the Fizzy. And with the Fizzy has come ideas. New ideas. Fresh ideas. Ideas like maybe I am a writer. Ideas like maybe you could make...
Eggs
Leading on from my post yesterday about breakfast, it follows that I am an egg fan. The Rutger Hauer Lurpak ad about the intrepid fridge forager spoke to me on a deep and important level. I spotted the Egg Shop book on Erica Davies' Instagram and...
Jack Black
I am thankful for Jack Black. Let me count the ways: Bob Roberts. Admittedly, we've got worse than this movie envisioned but... Kung Fu Panda. Three monkeys means films viewed countless times. This stands up to repeated viewing. Enemy of the State. Sarcastic...
Time On Your Hands
Are you busy? Rushed off your feet? Haven't got a moment to yourself? Unravelling as we speak? Yeah, me too!! I have a husband, three step monkeys, a mum, a dog, a career, friends and a social life. I have a house to maintain and a mortgage to pay. There's no...
Grayson Perry
In the first Fizzy guest post, Nicci James describes the emotional impact of Grayson Perry. Nicci is an artist and you can find a snapshot of her work at niccijames.co.uk So many levels of fizzy... I am an artist. That is my response to the question “So, what...
NESTING
Whimsical Home Wares
I'm not a fan of the po faced. There's nothing worse than tasteful design. It's up there with inoffensive things. I took a jaunt around Next at the weekend. In between the sensible curtain perusal and cushion squeezing I managed to buy a wooden elephant coaster...
A Unicorn Pooped In My Cutlery Drawer
Unicorns are evil. I know this because Ben Aaronovitch confirmed it. That said I am fond of an iridescent rainbow or two. Or eighty three. I can't help it. Every now again my inner 7 year old runs my life. A-ha are the best band ever, I want Findus Crispy...
Grab A Seat
The Ikea Poäng is 40 this year. We have two. A knackered one that's 20 years old. It's moved house, done a stint in the loft and been recovered countless times. It's currently a very fetching jade and beige velour stripe. Last week we got a pink one with a...
Tales Of A Maximilist Minimalist
I am a big believer in minimalism. I subscribe to the idea that stuff does not make you happy. That a full calendar distracts from the joy of experiencing the quiet moments of your life. That narrowing things down to the essentials makes life less stressful. With less...
Clean Sheets
One of the best things about a Sunday night is climbing into a clean bed. There's something about fresh sheets and plumped pillows that is reassuring and comforting. All is dandy if you can snuggle down and smell fabric conditioner and sunshine. Although I...
Flower Power
I don't do stylised Instagram shots. Would love to but I lack patience and talent. I come from the rarefied school of thought of "fuck it, that'll do". Most things get chucked on the dining table and haphazardly snapped and that'll do. I love the dining room...
Rules!
I love: A list Clear rules Quirky interiors When we moved into this house I wanted it to be bright and cheerful and be welcoming to the monkeys without being childish. I wanted a house manifesto for how we all behaved. Enter Parkins Interiors and their family rules...
STYLE
Imaginary Dress Up
Friday evening. The weekend is upon us. I will get a precious few minutes alone to wander through the shops on the way to get my hair cut and I'm bracing myself. Not bracing myself so much but giving myself a stern talking to. I am firmly telling myself that I will...
Style Icon
I am, now officially, ahead of my time. I always knew it. This weekend The Guardian has named Joan Hickson's Miss Marple as a style icon. It's about time fashion caught up with me. I have always wanted to be Miss Marple. Always. This is my rallying cry...
Summer Feet
I have a history with shoes. My Mum still has my first shoes (Clarks Mary Janes in navy, I was rocking a look from the cradle). In my power dressing past it was bright suede heels. I wish my iridescent rainbow snakeskin cowboy boots survived ‘that’ night out. I have...
Red lipstick
My first make up purchases were black kohl eyeliner and a 17 lipstick called Simply Red. The look has not changed much. I am usually wearing all of the eyeliner or all of the eyeliner plus red lipstick. I don’t do red balm, stain or gloss. Lipstick, proper stuff and...
The joy of a questionable trouser
My style goal in life was to dress like Miss Marple’s sexy niece. Nipped in, tweedy, buttoned up but racy underneath. As I've gotten older and head towards actual Marpledom - can't wait! - I've become less sedate and much louder in my dress sense. I love the idea of a...
Big Bloomers
Summer breeze makes me feel fine... Summer! Beer gardens, pinky wine, the smell of sun cream and barbeques, picnics, water fights, chafing. Yes, sorry to spoil the mood but summer for us women who like a pie means chafing. Bloody awful word and a bloody...
TINY DELIGHTS
Part Timer
It is Wednesday 1 November 2017 and I am now officially part-time. Woo hoo! Tuesday is now mini-Friday. I don't work more than two days in a row. Most importantly I have time to myself with no demands on it. My family have been really supportive of my...
Good Things
It's been a week of tiny delights that were toe wigglingly good. DIY After the radiator cover incident, we went to buy paint. I had my heart set on a certain shade but it wasn't available. Rather than sulk we chose B&Q Valspar paint which is mixed to...
Princess Treejump Brings The Fizzy
The post for today will be different from usual. Today the middlest monkey, Princess Treejump, is going to share the things that make her feel the absolute fizziest. Princess Treejump has taken the concept of fizziness to the next level. Everything is measured...
Good Things
A few good things that have given me the fizzy this week. #freeupmyinsta Allison Sadler's Instagram challenge is back! Starting today with prompts chosen by Charlotte Jacklin it's a great way to change your Instagram feed, connect with new people and...
Having A Weekend
This weekend, we had a weekend at Camp Fizzy. A proper one. With rest and everything. On Saturday, the beloved husband did DIY while I went the pub (I missed him terribly). We curled up as a family to watch Strictly. Today, there was a feast for...
Write It Down
Do you ever get in your own way? Those little things you do that make your own life harder. The things you do or don't do that really irritate future you. It can range from pressing the snooze button to leaving things to late. Cramming too many chores into a day that...
Morning Routine
Having a home filled with people is challenging. The noise, clutter and chaos three adults, three monkeys and a mutt create can bring out the worst in people. Everyone needs their own space, likes things done a certain way, has a different rhythm to their day. Trying...
Molehills Out Of Mountains
This is about making the best of a bad situation. As I write this it is 11 pm the evening before the beloved's birthday. I am so tired I had to skip dog training class and the husband has to work. We did our usual "you work/I'll sleep" dance until our...
Who Do You Think You Are?
Who would play you in the story of your life? Not the vanity who would play you in the story of your life (Winona Ryder without a doubt) but the is someone had to embody you on film who would it be? We were dealing with this vital question in work as we...
Retail Therapy
I don't often issue a retail therapy alert but M&S (God bless her and all who sail in her) have 20% off with Sparks this weekend. Their design has got a lot better recently so I walked through the store this morning making squeezing noises of desire. My...
Feeling Sorry For Yourself
Not the fizziest title but stay with me here, I think I'm on to something. I have a cold. It's of the ninja variety. The type that you had no clue was coming and then wham! You are an aching mess of exploding snot. And darned attractive to boot. To make...
Story Time
We are a family of advanced daftness. Tonight we mapped out the journey from the top of Peak Tired, down through the Duvet Valley, towards Pillow Mountain with a slight detour to the chamomile water fall and the lemon drizzle caves. I think I'm going to ask the...
Busy Doing Nothing
I have a theory that the happiest people know exactly what to do with an afternoon to themselves. I've had a few hours to myself this afternoon and all I have done is stress about how to spend them. Rather than enjoy the luxury of some precious time with...
Spotify Playlists
Camp Fizzy is all about the tunes. We don't do much telly but there is usually music playing. Spotify is definitely our most used app and account and I love a playlist. There are wedding playlists, bopping to work playlists, playlists for working, nostalgia....
Reignite Your Instagram
This is a Fizzy Public Service Announcement. My woman crush Allison Sadler will be starting round three of her #freeupmyinsta Instagram challenge. I've written about this before and I will again kindly shepherd you to Allison's own post on this. Now I...
Dog Training
Getting a dog was a long process. I've always wanted a dog but the time was never right. I wanted to adopt a rescue dog rather than get a puppy because that felt like the right thing to do. We did try a rescue dog first but the gorgeous hound we chose wasn't right for...
Unplug
It's a bank holiday. The last one before Christmas. I hope you make the most of it. I appreciate the irony of writing a piece on a website of the need to unplug. It's even worse as I need to do proper work tomorrow and the thought is giving me panic attacks. So...
Your Starter For Ten
Nothing will ever beat the smug feeling of getting a University Challenge answer right in front of unsuspecting family members. That said I've just aced a round of bonus questions on dreams in the work of Shakespeare and no one batted an eye. Rude. I love...
Say It With Paddles
Don't tell anyone but I am a medium to high maintenance wife. Not in your standard three hours to get ready, jealous of her own reflection and a wreck after three Lambrinis stereotypical way but I am a little bit nuts. I am slightly hyperactive, I am very loud, I have...
Mermaids
This from the Guardian is excellent. Laura Evans developed anxiety after a break up. She'd moved to London to be with her partner and then had to move back to Cornwall. She knew that was where she needed to be and then she decided to be a mermaid. So...
The Historical Finger Puppet Theatre
Some days you have to amuse yourself or you will lose the plot. Today was such a day but luckily it was saved by a fajita related injury, sellotape, a whiteboard pen and creative colleagues. And lo, historical finger puppet theatre* was born! It's fun and...
A Singalong
I love singing. This is not a claim to any talent but I love singing. There is something liberating about bursting into song. Luckily my limited talent is paired with a complete lack of shame so I will do show tunes at my desk, rock classics over breakfast and...
Holding The Cards
In my attempt to throw off my inner nervous hamster, I went to work drinks last night. It was a baby step on the road to the old social me. Experience shows that you should never expect too much from work drinks. People tend to stick to the people they know and...
Bed Socks
An odd topic for July I know, but this is important. I am a light sleeper. The beloved twitches, I wake up. The dog farts, I wake up. Somebody sneezes three streets away, I wake up. Months of being ill, plus monkey illness and messy brain has only made things...
