Yep, the news is out. I am going to be a granny. Mr B is going to be a grandpa. A couple of weeks ago Caity and Dan popped in one Sunday morning and presented us each with a present wrapped in tissue paper. It felt like a mug and they said we had to open them at the same time. We had no idea they would have “Grandma”
Last weekend I decided to head off to Rigby and Peller to stock up on some bras that actually fit me properly. Because we all need support, right? I can’t think of a single scenario in which we don’t need support to do what we do. And in order to do what we do we need to feel comfortable. That has to start with the basics I believe, like
If you are looking to read some tips for distraction free driving well let me tell you, you’ve come to the right place. This post has been created in collaboration with Kwik-Fit Over the years I have done a lot of driving, since getting my Mini two years ago I have done 25,000 miles, not bad for somebody who works from home!

You know it is autumn when putting on wooly socks and curling up with a book on the sofa is your idea of an ideal Saturday night. When Strictly Come Dancing is on the TV and you find yourself Googling who the celebrities are because you have never heard of half of them. It is lighter in the mornings because the clocks have gone back, signalling the end of British

Life this summer has been bonkers, some would say ridiculously so. No two weekends have been the same and many haven’t gone to plan (this last one being a case in point. We were looking forward to being at home and doing nothing but then at two hours notice we were on our way to Manchester so I could spend eight minutes on the BBC Breakfast sofa). At
Google “cheating on hairdresser” and you get over three quarters of a million results. Some telling you how to do it, some telling you it is the best thing they ever did, some saying they regretted it the second the stylist made the first cut and are now wearing a hat for eight weeks. My reason for cheating on my hairdresser recently was a little less complicated and was
With the emergence of home cinemas and the access we have to so many films online now, it’s a wonder that cinemas still exist. However, there is still something magical about going to the cinema and nothing else quite compares…or does it?

ALKIMI is an innovative first in household cleaning. Have you heard about them? It is likely you haven’t but that is a shame because it’s a new cleaning sensation. I have been trying their products for a month or two now and although I was sent the products to try once they run out I will be buying and continuing to use them. ALKIMI use naturally derived ingredients to
I originally wrote this post as a back to school organising post because it went live in August but actually the tips I shared are useful for any time of the year, and particularly in Janaury. For years I have organised our family’s life with an A4, day to a page diary. I cannot begin to imagine how many hours of “what;s happening./ what do I need / where is
If you know anything about me you will know I love a back story which is why I love Cocochi Candles. With all the gins in my collection I know a bit about either the reason it came to being, or something about the distiller. Products only come to exist because somebody decided to make it happen.
