A rare day off

Posted on May 16, 2012 by jenny

On Saturday I had a rare day off to attend Cybher. I enjoy blogging conferences, they’re a great opportunity to catch up with online friends and improve my blogging skills. I had a great day and it was wonderful being able to think of just myself for once. I think my handbag has been the…

Posted on May 13, 2012April 24, 2017 by jenny

You may remember last year I attended the Knitting and Stitching Show at Ally Pally where I picked up some lovely fabric to make a crawling blanket for my second child. I didn’t know if the bump would be a boy or girl so I tried to pick neutral fabrics. I couldn’t resist london scene…

Treats for your Jubilee party

Posted on May 6, 2012 by jenny

Have you noticed that there are an increasing amount of special Jubilee limited editions food products? I felt compelled to purchase a few of my favourite brands and must admit I’ve even been keeping the wrappers for the children’s memory boxes! The Jubilee and Olympics are big events in their little lives and even though…

Help with moving house

Posted on May 2, 2012May 26, 2014 by jenny

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

Posted on April 18, 2012June 26, 2014 by jenny

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…

Homes for London

Posted on March 14, 2012June 26, 2014 by jenny

I’m a proud Londoner and have lived all over the place since moving to London in 2001. I’ve lived south and north and even east! I’ve been lucky to live with friends, friends of friends and strangers who have become friends. My accommodation has ranged from damp basement flats in Tufnell Park, to roomy flats…

A Capital clean up

Posted on March 13, 2012November 18, 2012 by jenny

Despite having lived in London for many years I wasn’t aware that for the last 5 years there has been an annual clean up in the capital! Over the next three months a series of clean up events designed to bring Londoners together to spruce up neglected areas of the city will be hosted as…
