In case I've not mentioned it enough already, I turn 30 at the end of the month - eek! People have been warned against surprise parties, speeches, singing and any memorabilia with my age on but, ya know, presents are always gratefully received. I'm not a monster! Now that I'm old there's nothing I really… Continue reading My 2017 birthday/Christmas wish list
Anyone else notice that most of the gift guides for men tend to be full of sweaters, socks and smellies? I don't know about you but that's not the kind of thing the men in my life want! In fact, I asked Luke to help me put together this little gift guide. So if you… Continue reading 2016 Christmas Gift Guide: For Him
I've finally done it! I've picked the ultimate gifts for my 29th birthday and Christmas stocking. Is 29 too old to still be doing Christmas lists? I've already been asked by two people if there's anything special I'd like for my birthday (less than four weeks away, FYI - and four weeks before Christmas) and… Continue reading A Cornish geek’s birthday/Christmas wish list
You know I'm all about the woodland creatures, especially come autumn, so obviously I freakin' love these badger booties from Next. They look so warm and snug - and a perfectly reasonable £18.00.

We just need a few more… Continue reading Wish List: Clothes for Jenson
Today's item of the day is a bit of a biggie because I wanted to squeeze my picks of the Next sale into my week's scheduled posts.

I'm starting to feel like a bit of an old woman at the moment as I'm really into warm PJs! It's getting a lot cooler at night and I don't want to go too crazy with the heating as I'm paranoid abut Jenson over-heating. Because I go to bed quite a bit earlier than Luke,… Continue reading Item of the day: Rabbit PJs from Next
Remember the baby mop?
