A lifestyle blog
Asda wooden kitchen review I don’t know about you but not only am I not a huge fan of plastic tat toys I am a huge fan of wooden toys. There is something timeless about them, with a longevity that I love. That they once a living thing in a forest and not manufactured from some resin in a factory and shaped in a mould. I know that is
. When your lovely mum in law rips a page from the Waitrose magazine, puts a Post It on it saying “saw this and thought of you”, well you have to try it don’t you?! I can see why the real Mummy Barrow ( I so think my mother in law should register that domain and become a blogger, her recipes and craft ideas are superb. And the Real
Last night we went to see Spectre. As the lights dimmed Mr B handed me a can of Pimms and said “I don’t think I have ever been to see a film this early before”. As I opened my mouth to say “have you never been to a matinee? 7.30pm is hardly early”. He then qualified the point with “I mean, it only came out yesterday”.
. Half term started this week, and boy do Ellie and I need it. She is shattered, I am exhausted. I had hoped that I would have some lazy mornings but obviously Mr B still has to leave the house at 6.30am and the dog still needs a wee. So they haven’t really happened. I have of course enjoyed not spending nearly two and a half hours a day
. Earlier this week it was National Apple Day and to help celebrate I was sent some of the finest English apples to have a little taste test with. Now, I know nothing really about apples, other than how to chop them up and make them into a crumble. Or, like in the picture above turn them into toffee apples as part of our Halloween celebrations. But English Apples wanted me
. I ruddy love autumn. It really is my favourite season. Spring is a bit too wishy washy for me. Summer is either too hot or too full of people moaning that it isn’t hot enough. And winter is full of people scurrying about because they are cold, and travel disruption for Mr B trying to commute in London. Autumn for me is the perfect time
. This is a guest post, it is not written by me, but by a friend. A friend who needs to get these thoughts out of her head and asked me if I would publish them on my blog for them. If you can empathise with them I know your words of support would be welcome in the comments. * * * * * I have seen images referencing
. I was tipped off by Jonnie yesterday to possibly the most biased “review” he had ever read, involving one of our favourite pieces of kitchen equipment. As soon as he pointed it out to me I wanted to scream because as Jonnie said “it’s almost like appliance slander”. The review couldn’t appear more biased and to me smacks of “well I wasn’t allowed to keep the
. Don’t get me wrong, being lashed is no punishment that any human being should perform on another human being. It is barbaric and wrong. As is the removal of a hand for theft, and the beheading of drug dealers. I am not for one minute suggesting that Karl Andree deserves the punishment that his family are desperately trying to over-turn. Nobody could wish that on somebody. But there is a
. Oh yes it is. Okay it isn’t. But it was. And this post should have gone live then but, well, you don’t need the ins and outs, suffice to say it didn’t happen. But to celebrate I thought I do a little round up of my favourite coffee related products. And whilst I am here, if you are on Pinterest have you seen that I have a
I get lots of approaches every day asking me post pre-written content on my blog, or asking me to write something. Most of them I turn down. I also see opportunities and think “that won’t be a good fit so I won’t bother applying”. Working with Dove on their self esteem project was an opportunity I leapt at when I saw that Mumsnet were looking for bloggers with
Is basically a fiasco. Well actually that is not quite true. Not all of it is. I have some very hard working friends who are keen and conscientious exam markers so this post is not directed at them. I know they are under huge amounts of pressure, not being paid a huge amount and are all doing their best and also caught up in a system that is,
