I can’t believe we’ve been in our present home for a good couple of years now. I think the start of a New Year has made us finally sit down and talk about home improvements. This year we will be concentrating on the downstairs and I can’t wait to choose some colour schemes and get…

Trying to resist buying more furniture!
We’re a bit spoilt for shops selling furniture where we live. Our new house is bigger than the old one so when we moved we needed more furniture. Sitting in my lounge and writing this, almost everything I can see is new, and we definitely didn’t budget for it all in our moving costs! We…
Removeable wall stickers from Bloobry
As you know we moved house 8 months ago and we’re in the process of decorating every room. We’ve already finished the little man’s room, next up will be his sister’s. It was already pink so just needs a freshen up and some vintage pieces of furniture need stripping and repainting. We were offered some…
My Day Zero challenge is over
I’m actually quite pleased to say that the Day Zero challenge I started on the 19 September 2010 has finished. It seems a long time ago but my 1001 days are over. I haven’t quite completed my list but it’s 87% finished, which is good enough. Time to start something new for me. This year…
A little room for improvement
I love a challenge and was excited to be asked to take part in the latest one from MoneySupermarket.com, to improve a room of my choice within my home. As you all know we only moved into our new house last month so it was pretty difficult to decide which room to improve. I settled…
It’s time for a Spring clean!
As part of my role as a Dunelm Mill blogger I’m occasionally asked to review some of their lovely products for the home. They recently contacted me about reviewing one of their latest products, the Click ’n’ Clean cleaning system. The Click ’n’ Clean is a revolutionary new cleaning system where you select your handle…
How I’ve changed since 1983
In 1983 I was 6. Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister, the pound coin replaced the pound note and a pint of milk cost just 21p. Luckily for me I’m a hoarder so it didn’t take me long to root out my old school photos from 1983 as well as my exercise books and diaries. Thank…
King of his castle
It’s no surprise that I’m spending most of my time thinking about our new house. We are waiting (impatiently!) to hear that we’ve exchanged contracts and fingers crossed that will happen any day. This time round we’re paying a removal firm to pack and move us. With two small people it’s pretty impossible to concentrate…
A tidy bedroom (fingers crossed!)
One of the things I am most excited about in moving house is the fact both children will have equal-sized bedrooms. That might sound silly but the majority of the houses we saw had two decent sized bedrooms and a box room. Fortunately our new house is quite modern so the rooms are all a…
