Last summer, I visited Legoland with Flea, and it was one of our finest review trips EVER. Legoland is one of my favourite theme parks for children – Flea was big enough to go on most of the rides, there was a great choice of things to do, we both got soaking wet and there are human-being sized drying machines. What’s not to love?
This summer, I’ve teamed up with the lovely people at Boots Treat Street and Legoland Holidays to offer one reader a family trip to Legoland. The prize is a two-day family ticket to LEGOLAND Windsor, including an overnight stay in a nearby family-friendly hotel with breakfast.
If you have a Boots Advantage Card, Boots Treat Street is a brilliant website that lets you collect additional Advantage Card points when you shop with selected partners – including Legoland Holidays and dozens of other brands, from Boden to Gap, Comet and HMV. The site often has exclusive discounts from retailers – so you can save a packet, while collecting points. For more information about Treat Street, check out their website.

Hmmmm- not sure I should admit this but the boys would LOVE legoland Windsor so here goes!!!
I can play the recorder through my nose… wierd I know, and why would you try, I hear you ask…. but I did and I can.
Here is a video of my ‘talent’…
And this is a picture: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150262853560667&set=a.10150262853550667.324471.667780666&type=1&theater
I can fit my fist in my mouth! Does that count?!
Hmm really want to go to Legoland and you now know I can not lick my elbow, what can I do?
I have really nimble toes and can pick things up and hold a pen pretty well and write my name. I’ll have to get a spare minute to get a picture for you!

I can stick my tongue up my nose. Classy, right?
Um, I can pick up a wok with my bum cheeks. It’s probably best not to ask how I found this out. It’s also probably best never to come to my house for a stirfry.
I can touch my nose with my tongue and I can say the alphabet backwards really quickly. x
Oh dear God Sally, you don’t make them easy do you?
I can fit 16 pringles in my mouth whole.
Hmm, not sure how to explain this, but i’ve not met many people that can do it!
Put your left arm behind your back, reach your right arm past your neck and over your shoulder, and clasp your hands together, keeping your hands clasped at all times pull your right arm over your head and your over your left elbow so your hands end up in front of you still clasped. Someone once told me this is how Houdini used to get out of being handcuffed with his hands behind him! I’ll see if I can find someone to video me!
We have a big, bulky Beko fridge and to sweep the dust below I can move the fridge from one end of the kitchen to the next by moving it slowly side by side safely so it does not hurt my back. It takes me 10 mins one way and then another 10 mins to return.
I can vibrate my eyes really really quickly, which is a really easy way of dislodging a contact lens! However, it runs in the family, which means my daughter can do it too, which was fun when she was smaller and you were bent down, telling her off, looking her in the eye – she would shake them, and I would struggle to keep a straight face!
My other half can unicycle, whilst walking the dog, and taking youngest out on his bike. my talent was the photography.
I can make my husband wash the dishes, by hand.
I can automatically get a headache. At night 😉
My 3 year old daughter would like to share hers with you… at only 2, she went right to the top of the Eiffel Tower!! I can’t imagine how big the Tower must have looked to her, but she absolutely loved it and still tells everyone (and points to the little souvenier metal tower we have!)
For a bonus entry here is my daughter with my husband right at the top – as you can see it was a bit windy!!

Ok, not my own amazing feat, but my 3 year old daughter can pick her own nose with her tongue :O That really is a physical feat I wish I had never discovered, but she decided to do it in front of me
I can unhook my bra with one hand and take it off whilst still dressed
Unfortunately I am not physically impressive,
But my 18 month old daughter has a talent that’s really quite excessive!
A lovely sunny day last month, we took her to the beach,
We let her share in our ice creams, as we had one each,
What started off as a little lick, soon crossed a line,
As she quickly munched her way through not one but two ninty-nines!
I have linked you to a photo of her finishing the second,
With a look I think says “Problem?!”, what do you reckon?

I can get both feet into my mouth, my kids think its brilliant as im 34 and they seem to think i should be hardly able to move lol
I can turn my eyelids inside out I do it at the most inappropriate times; at school I used to put my hand up in class and the teacher would freak out when they saw my eyelids. Now I do it whilst chasing kids upstairs to get ready for school/bed 🙂 I have no idea how I found out I could do this! Legoland would be an amazing win and boost morale in the house right now 🙂 x
I can put boh of my legs behind my head. x
I am really good at bungy jumping! I’ve done it 5 times, and I honestly don’t get scared, whereas my husband woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat the day before we did one together! I’ve done the highest one in the world and didn’t bat an eyelid and yet I’ve got to organise a party for 25 toddlers and that is scaring the bejesus out of me! 😉
