I am officially sounding the four day weekend claxon, I checked around and by all accounts it’s ok for us all to sack off the last hour and beat the rush to the beer garden. However, it is your patri...
Without wishing to jinx this sunny weather weve been experiencing the past few weeks, I do believe that summer might actually have arrived! While I hunt for my left flip-flop and make room in the fre...
Good golly Miss Molly, I love a bargain. And like most of us, Im a girl on a budget. Thats why, sometimes, I buy gaspworthily cheap, tat-looking wine in supermarkets, just to see if its truly dreadfu...
Whether you are celebrating Her Majs Jubilee or just the fact that this weekend will last four whole days you really have to make these. Not only are they ridiculously easy and taste amazing but you ...
Hurrah, its Friday fun times! To be honest my brain has already just about skipped off for the long weekend. Its dead set on ignoring my huge to-do list and is too busy cooing over La Lisette: quirky...
Imagine having me in your pocket. Not literally of course, Id be pretty cumbersome to drag around and Id ruin the line of your trousers, but thanks to my recent discovery of Bartenders Choice its now...
One of the loveliest things about nice weather (it will come back!) is eating and drinking outside which somehow automatically means switching to ugly plastic cups so as not to smash your nice glasse...
I am a sucker for a nice postcard. I use them for everything - cheering up friends, invitations, expensive post-its at my desk, sometimes even prompt cards when were running events. Ive been working ...
Surprise animals are ace [Im currently drinking from my surprise bunny mug] which is probably why I rather like these mugs by Herdy. Theyre simple but effective which is sometimes the best way to be....
Well, what a day we had yesterday. From life-size corgis to sweary bunting, the Sluts dedication to finding you the best Jubilee memorabilia surely merits some kind of medal gin-based reward.The thin...
Its all new home chats with the Domestic Sluts at the moment. Elizabeth is just settling into her new place, Sian is moving at the weekend and Im looking forward to getting a place of my own next wee...
Cunting: Incredibly rude bunting. This is the kind of twee that will get my attention in the run up to the Jubilee. Its British! Its patriotic! Im getting involved! Its sweary and its brilliant. Fuck...
The main issue with Jubilee-inspired homewares is that its got a pretty short shelf life. A cushion with a crown motif might be timeless, but that expensive corgi ornament you forked out for is going...
Sweden, eh? Not only do they win Eurovision with a stonking Euroclub anthem (seriously, its been number one across Europe and in my head non stop) but they also have the very charming Pryl Design. Lu...
In summer, I want my dinner to be as simple as possible, but I dont want to live off salad/pasta/pasta salad for months. My brain tends to switch off when it gets hot, so its good to have a few decen...
I spent most of the winter wearing my Hot Squash thermal top and it totally did the trick at keeping me snug and warm. So I was more than a little surprised to find out the very same Hot Squash did a...
By and large, the tat magnet that is the 60th anniversary of our beloved Queen hasnt actually turned out that much awful memorabilia. True. I have seen more bunting and patriotic flags than I did aro...
There are times when you need a guaranteed route out of the doldrums, maybe even with a touch of glamour. Whether youre stuck in the office when the rest of the world is out in the sunshine or the li...
Daisies are my favourite flower. I spent hours making daisy chains as a kid (once I wanted to break the World Record, but that was probably Cheryl Bakers fault). If my hayfever will hold off for an e...
Im not even going to pretend that Madame V lingerie is practical. It most certainly isnt and thats why I like it. Its basically wrapping yourself up in silk. What could be more fun than that? Damn, t...
I dont know about you but when its hot the last thing I want to do is to crank up the heat in my kitchen by turning on the oven. No siree, I would much rather be sat outside smothered in factor 30, s...
I dont actively keep a daily journal anymore. I write diary entries in my notebook, along with shopping lists and plans and schemes and the odd game of hangman on the train. Its been a long time sinc...
One of the best things about small children is being able to read them all the awesome books that you had read to you when you were a small child. And with that goes teaching them the alphabet and ho...
The more ridiculous the shoes, the more Im likely to want them. I cant help it. Im not really a frills and ruffles and accessories kind of girl, so if Im wearing something stupid then its likely to b...
Like Siany, Im not too impressed by the majority of the products that have been inspired by the Jubilee. But Ive finally seen something which manages to mark the occasion without beating me around th...
I do like children but if you leave them unattended, they eat your biscuits, they play in your make-up and they spritz your Chanel all over the place. Even the good ones get up to mischief when youre...
"We send cake through the post." There arent many sentences in the entire English language better than that. Crumb dont just send cake through the post, they send you tea and cocktail syrup...
Just next to my mint plant sits a basil plant. Hes a rather useful fella providing delicious fresh flavours to our frequent pasta outings at dinner time (yeah, I totally just personified my plant). A...
I ummed and erred over which pieces from Altered Eras Etsy shop I should show you. Their literary lovelies? Steampunk pendants? Gothic jewellery? Or maybe their Doctor Who inspired trinkets? Then I r...
I first made this last year when I was going through a bit of an experimental foam phase and basically made foams out of EVERYTHING. I can happily say its now the only edible foam I really make (much...
