Jones have a BIG sale on. Pretty Shoe BARGAINS!
Clap hands everyone – Jones Bootmakers have a sale on! I know. Totally more happy-making than looking out the window at the alleged British Summer that is not happening outside.. Here’s our top picks: What I would call ‘bumpers’ – just how brilliant are these Clarks Pictor Sky canvas shoes? The washed canvas upper looks like a blue sky on a summer?s day, and the prettily subtle floral print is balanced by...
I have a new hobby. It’s called Homify.
Have you seen Homify yet? Oh me oh my, you’re in for a serious treat. If you love a bit of interiors design (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?), then Homify is likely to feel like all your Christmases come at once. It’s like someone took the whole contents of Pinterest, mixed them up with all the very best interiors blogs and magazines, scooped out all the inspiring pictures and ideas, then categorised them...

Getting a car – when they refuse you finance.
Money Worries are something I think nearly all families face at some point in their lives. Sometimes it’s an unexpected bill that leaves things tight for a month. But sometimes it’s mind-numbing worry that keeps you awake at 3 in the morning, fighting the hot prickly feeling that steals across you over and over and over as you turn your problems around in your head, trying desperately to find a way out. Thankfully, for...
