Hunting for a perfect sofa ? Trust me. Do it with Sofa.com
As a 70’s Essex child, the ‘sofa’ is a bit of a weird new world. It’s a settee, innit? And once you had one, you paid no more attention to it until it broke. My Nan had a huge faux-leather mustard coloured one that was older than I was, ridiculously hot and uncomfortable to legs in shorts or skirts and never seemed to age or sink no matter how many dogs and grandchildren passed through her little house. I...
Doing It On Holiday… #MondayMoments
Tonight’s the first in our series of ‘Monday Moments’. We’re really excited to have a regular column dedicated to talking about… sex. Yes, really! Well – not just sex. Relationships too. We’re not looking at dating, though – this is a lighthearted look at life inside a relationship that’s been ticking along for quite some time. It’s an adult-only read, with a seasonal twist around...
Fabulous Retro Swimsuit for tall women from LTS
I’m not very demanding where swimsuits are concerned. I have an innate horror of a two-piece (way too many curves to reveal, thank you), but I do need a one-piece that’s long enough for my 6ft frame, that won’t make me look like the back end of a bus (no mean feat). It needs to be secure enough to withstand swimming races and deep-end dives with the competitive teens, but be minimal enough for some sunning beside the...
WIN some Wild Excitement (worth over £100!) with Durex. Adults Only!
We’re properly excited to finally let you all in on our new project – we’re teaming up with Durex in July to talk about.. sex. Yes, really! It’s summertime, and the loving should be easy, to misquote Gershwin. And this weekend the husband and I will celebrate our 23rd wedding anniversary (and NO I’m not that old, I just got married really young. No really, I did!) – it feels incredibly appropriate...
Spotted! Canvas Leather Backpack perfect for summer trips
Lookety look! A pretty canvas leather backpack! If there’s one thing that annoys me in the summer, it’s having to carry a handbag – you need a bag with you, but when you’re out and about adventuring, you want your hands free, don’t you? but backpacks are inherently ugly, so I usually make do with a lovely messenger bag (which is actually just too small for purse/keys/phone/sunglasses, never mind...
Ragtales – Beautiful Toys with a Beautiful Story
AS you can imagine, we have been sent a LOT of of soft toys over the years. I once tried to add up the value of all the soft toys in the daughter’s then-five-yr-old bedroom. It frankly made my eyes water. We’ve been sent toys by the biggest high street giants, and tiny little handmade gems by Etsy sellers. We’ve got a 5′ rabbit (named FluffyWully. Don’t ask.), and an entire house full of small Maileg...
