Go greener with E.On Innovation
Sponsored Post While I sometimes *blush* struggle to remember to recycle (well, who wants to spend ages cleaning out a gloopy peanut butter jar when for about 30 years of my life it was fine to just chuck it?), my children have been much better trained. They turn off running taps, snap light switches and [...]

Sponsored Post Those clever folk at Tesco have asked me to point some stuff out to you which, I must admit, I didn't know myself. I expect, like me, you always proffer your Tesco clubcard when you're asked to at the till. And I expect that, like me, you basically then think no more about it. But [...]

As it’s now so close to Valentine’s Day you can almost smell the red roses, I’ve got a lovely giveaway for you. It’s courtesy of those gorgeous big softies at eHarmony. All you have to do is hop over to their facebook page and like their competition, then leave a comment on my blog. All [...]

So those lovely folk at Anchor asked me to make something yummy to celebrate their 125th birthday. And, better yet, they asked for an elevenses treat. So far, so excellent. As a child, I loved Winnie the Pooh, mostly because he was always ready for a little snackerel round about this time of day. Some [...]

Those lovely folk at Tesco Real Food have just done a number on me. They asked me if the kids and I would like to make a Christmassy gingerbread house. Of course I said yes in seconds flat – after all, I usually get one from Ikea and we spend a happy half hour covered [...]

Sponsored post I must admit that, as the winter approaches, I think about my health a lot more. That’s partly because I live in a house festooned with piles of tissues, as TL has had a cold, Child Two is working on developing a cold, and I have an unspecified allergy which is officially blamed [...]

There are a whole lot of dates around at Christmas, aren’t there? Those strange dried-up dates in the coffin-shaped boxes, that you only see at this time of year, with the odd little plastic fork which bends as soon as it sees a solid object. Then all those unmissable dates like the nativity play, in [...]

Off I went yesterday to John Lewis at Bluewater. It was like being called home to the mothership, as various lovely members of staff encouraged me to run my fingers through piles of cashmere jumpers and admire the burnish on the Mulberry handbags. Bliss! In fact, the lady in charge of handbags even asked me [...]

28. November 2011
It wasn’t until a friend said that she was getting highly stressed by Christmas, that I realised something. I really need to get stressed about Christmas! I’ve been coasting along in a bubble, doing other things, just vaguely pootling about as usual, while all the time Christmas has been lurking under the surface, just like [...]

Gah! It’s nearly time for my half term idyll to come to an end. It’s only by the grace of God – or an inset day – that I am able to bring you this, from my dressing gown, at the shocking hour of 10.30. I have no idea how I’m going to manage waking [...]
