Ad – this product was provided to me but I was not compensated for my review. Cordless vacuum cleaners really are one of the best inventions as far as I am concerned. No need to mess about plugging power cords in, tripping over them and then needing to unplug them to move to a different… Read More
I’ve worked from home for years now, but as I don’t keep to normal office hours when my husband got the ‘work from home’ orders back in 2020 I gave up my desk to him as he needed two screens. Then last year we moved house, he set up in an office and I installed… Read More
For this festive season Very.co.uk asked me to pick a range of activities and games that are fun for all the family, and I think I’ve found a really good selection. Family games are one of life’s great pleasures, and now my youngest has stopped throwing a hissy fit (well, mostly!) when he loses they’re… Read More

We absolutely love building things in this house, and we’re forever being shown creations from one or both kids that they’ve made from our collection of K’nex, lots of which belonged to Sam when he was a… Read More

Sam loves history, we both do actually, but I often try and find him gifts that are not only a little bit different or unusual but that are also useful past the initial ‘oh that’s a nice present’ stage! This year for Father’s Day he was the recipient of a Historic Newspapers hardback News of… Read More
The one room that we really haven’t much to since we moved in is our bedroom. This is for a few reasons and the first is that I just can’t decide what to do décor wise! The second is that we’re using the room to store various other bits and bobs that don’t have a… Read More
Items featured were gifted in exchange for a review. When I was little one of my favourite activities was going through my Mum’s jewellery boxes. There was something so exciting about seeing what was hiding inside and hearing the story behind each piece. I loved trying things on, touching the shapes and gems, and then… Read More
It’s definitely chilly now, this is my favourite time of year here on the South Coast; warm enough to head to the beach or onto the downs for a stroll without the risk of frostbite! I’ve been keeping warm on the school runs in a super warm fleece from Protest, and I tell you it is the… Read More
