WIN £150 to spend at BrandAttic.com!
I’ll admit it – I hadn’t actually come across Brand Attic before. But now I have… I *love*. I love the idea behind the name; when you venture into your attic, you’re surprised by what you find. Venture onto their site because you were lead by one item of clothing you saw somewhere, browse the range, and read their brand story – and like magic you find a brand that seems as though it was specifically made for...
Gorgeous Spring Bright Flip Flops – are your toes out yet?
When the sunshine finally starts washing through the air, I find I instinctively recoil at the sight of my trusty old winter footwear. The Converse are okay, obviously (it’s never NOT the season for Converse, is it?), but those big ole boots and heavy leather shoes? NO, thank you. All of a sudden I want to get my toes out. I mean – what’s more happy-making then just being able to shove your feet in a pair of...
Trying Harvester’s Brilliant New Kids Meal Deal (and groaning under chocolate cake)
On Monday we had a spontaneous trip out, courtesy of the lovely folks at Harvester, who thought we might like to try their new Kid’s Menu. I did point out that only one of us would be on the kid’s menu – teen boys tend not to be satisfied with the portion sizes for a 7yr old, I find – but that was all fine, so we duly headed off to Salisbury, to the Old Castle which happens to be very close to Old Sarum, a...
Oh the glamour of a Heated Airer. No. Really. Meet the Dry:Soon.

Which means when there’s six of us and we’re all at this laundry-making business, the bloody laundry mountain never ever ends. And actually, it’s okay in the warmer months – I’m fond of my washing line, and a...
Pretty M&S knickers for £1
Have just spotted that Marks have a bit of a sale on – and saw these super-pretty holly green knickers reduced to just over £1! The Sensual Sheen & Lace High Rise Shorts sit on the hips with a low leg line. ‘Ornate lace gives a beautifully soft and exquisite look that will make you feel feminine and comfortable all day.’ I also found these pink spotty shorts… Also reduced to £1.09, the flocked...
Learning to code online with the brilliant Code Kingdoms (and Minecraft!) – plus 20% discount code!
It’s a simple fact of life that our children are going to need skills that we don’t even know exist. Their world is moving fast, and is ever more digital. My 9yr old is a slow handwriter but she can touch type whilst holding another conversation in the room – now I’m good, but I’m not that good. Naturally, where there’s tech-savvy kids in the house, there’s Minecraft. We’ve been old...
