I meant to post this earlier in the week, but I lost my camera cord in the mess that I call my house. It is a big mess. Believe me. Lets focus on the positives here, how beautiful is this rocking chair? How can you not admire it’s lovely shapely curves and it’s rich … Continue reading »
I did a disappearing act and have been MIA from my blog for a while now. Well, in reality not just from my blog. I have taken a little break from most of my life at the moment. As you may or may not know I suffer from anxiety, badly, and as of late it … Continue reading »
It’s nearly here, the time to paint the study is nearly upon us. Only I have a problem. I picked a colour scheme way back when, but I think I have changed my mind. But now I can’t choose. I originally wanted it to be Raspberry and Sky Blue: But I’m now leaning towards Mint Green and … Continue reading »
I mentioned here a while back that I was working on my Spare Room – I wanted to change it from ex-children’s room to wonderful workplace for me. To be perfectly frank the room in it’s previous state was a disaster. The remains of what I believe to be ZingZillas coming through the paint work, … Continue reading »
My intention was to share a couple of things with you this week. I intended to show you how my spare room is coming along, but we had a little disaster which put paid to that plan. What started as a small drip from our boiler ended up as a torrent, and it destroyed our … Continue reading »
I have a shelf in my freezer devoted to lunches for him. I make them in advance. Pasta, Soups, Stews, Chilli.

We were supposed visiting cousins of the OH, and because I’m me and I love turning up with an elaborate cake so that people can tell me how amazing I am at making cake (yeah, … Continue reading »
*Yes, I am aware that most of the veg used isn’t Mediterranean, but what would you call it? I went shopping with my in-laws yesterday. They shop in places that we don’t usually shop, like Marks and Spencers. I love Marks and Spencers, but I worked there, so I know that although the food is gorgeous, … Continue reading »
This will, I imagine, be my last post before Christmas. I’m looking forward to a cosy and comfortable Christmas as we speak (or I type). I find certain bits of Christmas very stressful, the being bought gifts thing for one. I adore buying presents for other people, but get really worked up about receiving them – I’m … Continue reading »
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about gifts this year, to be honest I always do. I love finding or making things completely personal to the person I am giving it to. I sometimes go slightly overboard. I have a friend I have know since Primary School. We’re both quite skint this year, so … Continue reading »
