Pondering parking
Sponsored post I used to be quite a good driver back in Brussels. I could park on a postage stamp (you had to – parking there is a blood sport), I could nip and tuck through the traffic with surgical precision, and I scarcely ever got a scratch on my car. But here in Blighty [...]

It’s time to confess. I’ve always hated supermarket shopping. Now I hate internet shopping, too. I know, how lazy can one woman get? But it’s true. There are so many pitfalls to internet shopping – there was the time when I got six kilos of bananas delivered, instead of just six actual bananas, and had [...]

Have you ever wondered how some people just have the knack of collecting lovely, designery bits and bobs around them, without appearing to break the bank, or even spend days schlepping around the shops? Chances are there is more than luck and good taste to it. They are probably members of one of the [...]

There’s a mayoral campaign going on in London, and one of the key issues will be housing. When I left university and moved back to London, I was able to get flats reasonably cheaply, sharing with friends – all right, one place was sublet from the council in a frankly dodgy way, and another was [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
