Are you one of the 1 in 10 British women who have admitted to intentionally ruining one of their partner’s items of clothes just because they didn’t like it? It’s not just women, apparently a quarter of British men and women frequently ask their partners to change their outfits because they’re embarrassed to be seen…

Help with moving house
We spent yet another weekend house hunting. Whilst at home we spend our evenings narrowing down an area we want to look round and make sure we can afford. Then we like to bookmark a couple of houses to look at when we’re out and about. There are a couple of apps we usually use…
Moving on
We’ve just had one of those weekends where nothing has really happened but we’ve spent a lot of money. I had a tooth out, we got an imprint of Little Sis’s hand and foot prints, a lovely lunch out, the weekly food shop, all pretty mundane really. What we should have been doing is getting…
I got my hands on one!
Ok, so I had to visit three Tesco stores but I finally got my hands on an Orla Kiely Scribble Pear design reuseable shopping bag. I mentioned back in November that Orla Kiely has designed a range of bags exclusively for Tesco. They are made of juco (a material technology that combines jute with cotton)….
Sharing the love {ao}
I’ve been visited by the Appliances Online fairy! You may have seen the blog love that has recently been spreading. It started with a new washing machine for Single Parent Dad, then on to Rosie Scribble who gained a new television, next up was Typecast who received a rather large jar of sweets. Last week…

My first doll quilt
It’s been a strange week since we’ve returned from our holiday. I’ve had to spend three days at home as we’ve had a garden makeover this week. So I’ve read more and crafted more. Today I made my first doll quilt and it was so much harder than I thought it would be! Don’t look…
I made something!
I’ve had a great Bank Holiday weekend, just the right amount of seeing friends, DIY and doing cool new stuff. We went to Walthamstow Stadium on Saturday night to watch the Greyhound racing. It was so much fun and I even broke even! We also finally had the time to do the Parkland Walk from…
Freaked out by facebook
I’m sure I’m not the only person to be 100% freaked out by the phenomenon that is facebook. Friends Reunited – fine; Twitter – fine; MySpace – fine; but facebook is just too freaky. I am tagging people that I haven’t seen since High School, Uni and previous jobs that I haven’t spoken to in…
