Spotted! Found a teapot, found a teapot…

I do love a nice teapot. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a very VERY nice teapot indeed. Aren’t those colours gorgeous? Wouldn’t they warm up any chilly morning?

Mumpreneurs? This is what Staples had to say…

You probably noticed that earlier in the week a got a le-e-e-tle bit riled up about the use of the word Mumpreneur. It looked a bit like this…   Well, it was triggered by a few companies who all happened to land in my inbox in the space of half an hour – and Staples was one of them, for running a ‘Mumpreneur of the Year 2012’ competition in conjunction with Netmums. It’s actually a totally fantastic...
