As part of my role as a Morphy Richards Innovator I was sent the ‘Never Loses Suction Lift Away Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner’ to tell you about. I have to admit that vacuuming is never top of my to do list but with two messy children and two cats our house needs constant cleaning. The…

Win with Febreze
On average we spend 312 hours each year in our cars, yet cleaning our mobile home-from-home is one of the nation’s most-neglected chores, with a third of Brits only cleaning the inside of their car every six months or less! I was surprised to hear that men clean the inside of their car more than…
Christmas Day count down
Not long now until the big day so I’m beginning to draw up a mental check list for what to do next. The personalised cards have been signed and sent, the presents wrapped and delivered, the decorations taken out of the loft and we’ve all come down with colds and a stomach bug. Bah humbug!…
Viakal made my bathroom sparkle!
I’m the first to admit that cleaning and housekeeping take a back seat in my household. I’d much rather spend time with the children than worry about the state of the house. I received an email which made me laugh! “To showcase how effective Viakal really is, we would love for you to put your…
Win with Ariel and get rid of bad dress sense!
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?

Mountains of washing
Before children I know my washing basket didn’t overflow, it was easy to keep on top of. After children, the machine is on every day and dirty washing permanently seems to cascade out of the washing basket and over the floor. I must have the dirtiest children as it doesn’t seem to matter what they…
An Autumn clean
I’m so glad we’re back in our ‘normal’ routine – as normal as life can be with a baby and toddler. The little man is back at his school twice a week which means I get a couple of hours with the baby. We’ve just started going to a weekly music class and it is…
An Orla Kiely nursery?
Tots100 and Ratedpeople.com have challenged us to makeover a room in the most creative way we can think of. The timing is perfect, given as how I have moaned before about our lack of space. Our 10 month old still sleeps with us and I haven’t enjoyed sleeping through the night since she was born….
Elbow grease needed!
It was a sad day when I realised that my duties as a stay at home mum would not only include sole responsibility of the children, but also the cooking, cleaning, food shopping, meal planning, washing, toy tidying and general care and maintenance of the house. My husband is a very busy man. Cleaning really…
