I don’t do many product reviews, but when BlogMatch offered me this little scooter from John Crane I fell in love. There are 3 reasons I love it: 1) It’s wooden and wooden toys just look a hell of a lot nicer when you are looking at a room full of toys 2) It’s […]
I’ve got that typical Bristolian healthy pink cheek look, which along with my curly hair and mighty 5ft 4 1/2 inches, does have the tendency to make me look like a hobbit.

Energy Saving: the problem is how to go about it without appearing like a nag! Plus my brain isn’t what it was, and although I remember that I was taught how to work out what having a light on would cost, I can’t for the life of me remember how to do it. With the […]
I am so chuffed about this competition to win a gorgeous Joe Browns Navajo Coat worth £89.95; just look at that gorgeous lining, which will flash every time you walk or put it on and off. This coat says ‘I’m happy to stand out, I’m gorgeous, I’m sparkly, I’m bored of being dull’, ‘I might […]
Do you need ideas for those difficult presents? Well I have two ways of helping you in this post: Ideas and a competition for a fabulous £100 hamper. (Actually I recommend keeping the hamper or giving it to me, and buying the presents!). What I’d really like to say to the men ‘who never need […]
How did that happen, Curly Headed Boy is now 6 years old? (Yes, it is a rhetorical question, I kind of get that time passes, I just never knew it could be so quick and never imagined what it would be like for him to keep getting older and older!). Would you like an idea […]
