Although I had a birthday dinner planned for Saturday night I wanted to have lunch with Sam and Athena on my actual birthday. The Argus are currently running their amazing dine for £10 offer, so we had a browse through the booklet and picked Coast, I called and asked to book a table for 2 and a high chair,…
We moved into our flat in July, That’s 6 months ago. Until last weekend our bedroom looked like pretty abysmal; no curtains, a bit of a mess and no decoration either. The Range very kindly offered to let me choose some items from their huge online selection to give the room a New Year bedroom makeover. Pretty unimpressive, very untidy…
How many photos have you taken in the last 6 months? I’m going to hazard a guess and say that any new parent has probably taken about 50% more than a non parent, and if you have a camera phone as well as regular camera then that’dd be somewhere in the thousands! I fit into the ‘can’t stop taking photos…
Lots of people have a jar or a box, and they write their memories on a slip of paper and then tuck them safely away to read at the end of the year. A wonderful idea but one I would never keep up with. Instead I am going to do blog a collection of memories every so often, with pictures…
Everyone loves getting gifts, right? I really love picking gifts and sending them too, and for the last three years have taken part in a Christmas secret Santa gift swap online. I love taking part because I get to know lots more lovely people, chat to them on twitter and read their blogs, and get a surprise package out of…
Bottle green jeans: Primark. Collar detail blouse: Primark. Boots: Newlook. Cardi: H&M. My face looks really odd in the right hand photo. Also I am pretty pissed off that this cardi has started to bobble on the sleeves after about 2 3 weeks, H&M normally has better quality than that, and I am especially piddled off because I only bought…
I’ve been a little absent from twitter and have been posting less blogwise too, and do you know what? I’m alright with that. I was spending so much time scrolling through twitter of an evening, when actually I should have been doing things like reading, cleaning the house and eating proper dinners. Don’t get me wrong, i’m still going…
Share book reviews and ratings with Lauren, and even join a book club on Goodreads. Above are a most of the books I read in 2013. I managed to just beat my self imposed target of 30 books by reading 31! This year I have set myself 50 and hope to beat that, and will spend less time faffing about…
I bought a tub of BIG Sea salt shampoo at the Lush blogger lock in that I went to in November (you can read about that here, it was a lot of fun!) after lots of umming and ahhing and ‘but how does it WORK?’s from me. I tell you, sticking your fingers into this tub is a sheer delight…
Yep, another resolution post! I am very aware that many of you won’t even read this far, let alone to the end but hey, if I write them for the world to see then I am more likely to follow them! Learn how to run a frugal household, which will help with… Don’t return to work from Maternity leave. If…
On Sunday I had a huge urge to go and get the food shopping done. Clearly half the county had the same idea and the queue for the car park was crazy. I am not ashamed to admit I let out an audible ‘YES!!’ when someone pulled out of a parent and baby space about 15 feet from…
