I don't know about your timelines, but it seems like all my friends are playing Pokemon Go, not their kids. However now Youtuber favourites like DanTDM have featured the game on their channel, it's only a matter of time before you are pestered to death to download the new augmented reality game to your kids tablet, iPod or iPhone.

The game is free, but isn't available in the UK iTunes Store yet, so to download the game you need to fool your phone into thinking you are in the US. You don't have to jail break or do anything mad, just follow this step by step guide I've pinched from imore.com, then switch back to UK mode.

They note that places like South East Asia don't have too many Pokemon 'on the ground' to find, but here in the UK the game seems to be ready to go, with lots to catch via the GPS gaming, already in place.

The first thing you need to do is set up a throw away email address to create a US iTunes account with. You do need a real one, as before you can download anything you have to verify the email account. I just set up a quick account with outlook.com

Then, follow these steps:

Pokemon Go Direct App Store Link

You have to set up a Club Pokemon Trainer account, and I found the form to do so in the app kept crashing, so you might want to use Safari to set up an account first, then just log in via the app, not try to sign up inside it. The traffic must be crashing the sign up form within the app itself.

Then you should be good to go. Return to UK iTunes by signing out and then back in with your regular iTunes account. Remember your US account details for future US app purchases you might fancy.

One last little trouble shooting tip- should the app say GPS not found, check your location services are on in the phone settings. You can also get that popping up if you are playing inside, it works far better outdoors. Finally if you are still having problems, download Google Maps & open it and allow it to run in the background.

Good luck!

Taking your kids to the pool is some serious fun it's all too easy to talk yourself out of. It's expensive, you all need swim wear, it's a hassle, you'll get in shape and THEN you'll take them. Well the time is now. You'll soon realise everyone else there is too busy having fun to even notice your lumps & bumps, and if they ARE worrying about them, they are probably more interested in their own!

I'm a size 14 on top & needed a 16 in this. Worth trying on instore, or buying one size up I think

There is also the bothering of having to shave your legs, bikini line etc every time. Well the swim dress I found means you don't necessarily need to be waxed to the nines every time you swim either.

It sits like a little dress, which is so forgiving for 'pregnant shape' people like me, constantly looking three months pregnant in something as tight as a swim suit. This amazing modesty saving swimsuit from Peacocks also has 'tummy control' that sucks you in like Spanx.

We were in the fun, leisure waters in Bangor this morning. That's slides, wave pool and hot tub and we stayed almost two hours. I was so comfy the whole time. It didn't ride up or hurt in the bust. I'm really happy with it.

I thought I would feature the swimsuit here on my blog as so many people said this was exactly the sort of thing they were after when they saw it on my Instagram.
