Fabulous Kitchen Bakeware HALF PRICE at House of Fraser
whoop! We all love a sale, and there’s a gurt big one over at House of Fraser right now. I was meandering about their Baking section, and saw some serious kitchen deliciousness at knock down prices… LOVE love love this Linea Chicken bakeware – I have two of these mixing bowls, and they’re not just a perfect weight for mixing (I HATE pyrex mixing bowls that skitter across the work surface) but...
Gorgeous Holiday Dresses – sale at JD WIlliams!
Just back from a completely fabulous short city break in Bordeaux, I was reminded again about the winder of The Dress. Summer Holiday Dresses in particular. I rather fell out of love with dresses in my teens – skirts were okay at a need-to-dress-up push, but dresses? No way. The trouble is I’m an odd shape – 6′ tall, but with ‘normal’ legs and a lo-o-oong back, which means a dress never ever sits...

You have them carefully fitted, and most of the shoes available to you are practical; you might opt for flashy lights or sparkly bits, and have the to-velcro-or-not-to-velcro dilemma, but on the whole it’s all okay.

And girls trainers are possibly worse, splashed all over with lurid pink, often accented with pink glitter and...
Dyson V8 Absolute cordless vacuum cleaner | Review
I have a large hairy hound who sheds everywhere, plus four children who seem to shed on the carpets more than the dog does. I also home educate three of the four – which means the house literally gets no respite. They’re on the flippin floors all. day. every. day. Woe are my floors. So when we vacuum (I use the ‘we’ royally here – clearly vacuuming is not *my* job. It’s a child job. A quick schwizz...
‘Yay for May!’ & just LOOK at these bargainous girls clothes from Joules…
So there was I, meandering about t’interwebs as I’m prone to do and I just happened to fall int o the Joules store. I know, right? Clumsy… And lookety look what I found… 25% off – ALL childrenswear. Men’s and women’s styles too, but ALL the childrenswear! Naturally the only thing to do was to have a quick peek inside, just for the sake of research obviously… *runs inside* And oh Lordy...
