3 for 2 Christmas Lighting & Decorations at Clas Ohlson!

With less than a month to go, we’re all thinking about it now; I’ve even seen a few trees already going up in my Instagram feed (TOO EARLY people!). But if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that thinking about the preparations a little ahead saves time and head space as things gear up through December. NOW is the time to sort out the ‘other stuff’. For the first time ever we...

Sorting that Window Condensation with the Vileda Windowmatic

We’ve finally acquiesced to the colder weather, and the central heating is running a couple of times a day. And obviously we want to keep the house as insulated as possible to keep in as much of that heat as we can. Like a lot of people our 1980’s radiator system has the radiators themselves located right underneath the windows – meaning if we’re not careful all that lovely heat goes whisking up on the cold...

Fabulous Party Dresses For Those Curves!

4 Step Plan to Choosing a Woodburner Stove

Stoves are not only a stylish option for the home, but are also eco-friendly and super-efficient (and allegedly add value too. Some bandy a 5% increase on house value, others suggest it’s more about saleability than actual cash value… but either way, you’re winning when it’s time to sell up). In fact, never mind when you’re selling up; a stove can be up to three times as efficient as an open fire and will...

So THAT’S What The London Eye Is All About | #MerlinAnnualPass

I’ll admit it had been a looooong day, and I was actually rather happy at the prospect of a gentle rotation on the London Eye. Except the closer we walked, the higher it looked… until I was doing a pretty good job of hiding my total abject terror of going up to a very excited 9yr old Bear (who seriously has no concept of fear. She’ll say yes to anything if it looks a bit fun). The queue took no time at all, and...

Oh the cutest newborn clothes – onesies and cardigans aplenty.

Have you come across Mayoral yet? If you haven’t, you need to. Newborn clothes right through to 16yrs, and their clothes are gorgeous. 75 years ago they were making socks and tights for 1940’s woman. Now they’re making the coolest clothing for kids and teens – it’s different, it’s edgy, and my teens actually love it. But for me, their baby stuff is just perfect. Cute without being sickly sweet, not...
