The common or garden Laundry Bin. Or not.
I always think that January is always the month you notice the house, I think. You take down all the Christmas decs, and the house looks bare. And grubby. you suddenly notice all the dust that’s been hiding in the twinkly fairylight glow. And of course, once you start tidying and sorting, you get on a roll. We never have as clean a house as we do a couple of days before Christmas. And we never have as organised a house as we do...
The essential mini chopper for your kitchen – Aura Chop & Blend | Pre-Christmas Shopping
A few years ago I was gifted a small mini chopper. I know, not the most exciting of presents, and not something I’d really ever thought I wanted. But, a gift is a gift, so I thanked them very nicely and plopped it in the cupboard. A few weeks later I remembered it was there, dug it out and gave it a go while I was making dinner. Oh. My. Seriously. I had been missing out on life! A mini chopper quickly became my go-to kitchen...
Is the Aerobed really that good? Is it a viable a spare bed for the grandparents?
I’m sure, like me, you’ve been watching the Aerobed TV ads for years. They’re always so damned persuasive, aren’t they? But is the Aerobed really that good? I’ll admit it – no matter how good they look, I’ve always rather distrusted them – with that innate suspicion we all have of anything that the TV tells us is just a bit too good.. But here we are again in December. And like every...
Washing labels – you’ll love this one. I promise.
Right, come on. hands up. Who knows what this means: Any ideas? I know, we see it ALL the time on the label… but what does it actually tell you that you can’t do to the garment? Well I didn’t know – despite being Chief Laundress in the house for the last 23 years (well, minus 18mths. I’ve pretty much done zero laundry for the last 18mths…). It’s no Bleaching. NO BLEACHING! Like I needed a...
Thermos Stainless King Flask 1.2L | Pre-Christmas Shopping
We love this classic red Thermos Stainless King Flask (we’ve got the big 1.2l, but other sizes are available). It’s so pretty it’s a perfect & practical gift for Christmas, or perhaps to store some festive hot toddy or iced drink in to take to family and friends over the holiday period. Unbelievably it will keep whatever you put inside it either hot or cold for 24 hours, yes a whole 24 hours, how amazing is that!...
So what’s the ACTUAL difference between Diet Coke and Coke Zero?
Last Saturday I had a the opportunity to attend a Breakfast Symposium held by Coca-Cola (admittedly at an ungodly hour of the morning) before heading off for a day at Blogfest. I was naturally pretty interested to know what they had to share – after all, we all know Coca-Cola, we all know who they are and what they do, right? Hmmm. I thought so too. But, actually, I came away over an hour later with my eyes opened… But...
