Dyson V8 Absolute cordless vacuum cleaner | Review
I have a large hairy hound who sheds everywhere, plus four children who seem to shed on the carpets more than the dog does. I also home educate three of the four – which means the house literally gets no respite. They’re on the flippin floors all. day. every. day. Woe are my floors. So when we vacuum (I use the ‘we’ royally here – clearly vacuuming is not *my* job. It’s a child job. A quick schwizz...
In-Depth Review of the Teeter EP-560: Best Inversion Table for Back Pain?

I mean – what’s more happy-making then just being able to shove your feet in a pair of...
I had a Mum’s Day Off and it was fabulous. #MomsDayOffContest
When Crocs got in touch a few weeks ago and asked if I was interested in taking a day off for their #MomsDayOffContest campaign, I’ll admit I was a bit surprised – usually brands want to me to do work for them, not bunk off completely. But who was I to argue? So I checked the weather forecast, and on Wednesday I headed out for a solo adventure. And I felt ridiculously free – I simply cannot remember the last...
