Did you know that Barclays has been sponsoring the Premier League for 15 years now? They then became title sponsor in 2004 and in doing so, they also made a commitment with the Football Foundation (the largest sports charity in the UK) to set up sports sites for young people. The result of that over the last decade is investment of £40 million in Barclays Spaces for Sports and over 200 sports sites have been set up around the country, largely in deprived inner city areas. All are used for grassroots sports and engage millions of young people.
My son is football mad! He is an outgoing boy who loves nothing more than sports. I find it quite exhausting trying to keep up with him. However the weather in the UK can be so gloomy and rainy so we have made up a few activities to do for my football mad son that can be done indoors.

Both my children have run out of mojo for summer activities. Now all they want is to play board games and stay indoors. The weather has been somewhat unreliable these few days. It has been either too hot or it has been raining. So we took two days to do the letter K.
It is disappointing that England are out of the World Cup. Nevertheless, we still can have fun watching the other countries play. Recently, I was invited along with 7 bloggers to join in the #duckworldcup sweepstake and I have been randomly allocation Group F which are Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iran and Nigeria. Inspired by my football team, I have chosen these two dresses from JD Williams to represent my winning team – Argentina for JD Williams World Fashion theme. I think they’ve got a good chance of winning this year!
As many will know, the Argentine Tango is a dance where the dancers embrace and have a really close connection. Their chosen colour is often red hot as to show the passion between the dancers. Hence I had chosen these two beautiful dresses.
The first one is the Joe Browns Summer picnic tunic dress. This vibrant colourful red dress comes with a beautiful floral pattern. There is elastic around the waist which emphasizes your curves. If you prefer, you can also use a thick belt. The sleeveless dress sits just above my knee.
Recently, Duck Tape invited 8 bloggers to join in the #duckworldcup sweepstake and I have been randomly allocation Group F which are Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iran and Nigeria. If my group win, I would win a collection of craft kits, including brand new colours and patterns of Duck Tape.
