Spotted! Best Girls Bed. Ever.
*swoon* That’s about it, really. Newtons, the French-inspired British furniture company, has designed the inspirational Petit Rococo range, its first single-sized bed for small people. Available in White or French Noir, the Petit Rococo bed is hand-painted with precision, featuring those amazing hand carvings. Currently on offer for just £459 (usually £699). What little girl wouldn’t squeak at seeing that in...
The Shark Steam. I love it.

In fact, I try very hard to do as little housework as I possibly can.

He’ll read them...
Dr. Beckmann Colour & Dirt Collector Sheets
So school approaches – and with it the dreaded return of the laundry pile. I love the summer months, with its limited washing of shorts and tees – yes, even in the ‘summer’ we can expect in good ole Blighty. The trouble is – I’m a lazy laundress. I am. I’ll separate whites and coloured. Mostly. But term time the uniform all gets bunged in together – grey trousers, red jumpers and white...
