I’m having a weird experience. This weekend, I’ve worked my arse off and got every room in the house clean and tidy. We’ve had a massive sort out and got rid of all of the clothes and shoes that we don’t want anymore, sorted out Sausage’s burgeoning mound of toys, sorted out Husbands office which was in danger of attracting hobos with the amount of cardboard boxes that were piled up in there. Hell, Husband …

The Best Thing To Ever Happen in Waitrose.
I don’t know about you, but I have a very set idea of the four types of people who shop in Waitrose: 1. Old people. Old, grumpy, usually snobby people who tend to be myopic enough to accidentally (on purpose) try to run you over in their Rovers. 2. Married couples in their late thirties through to late middle age who are probably quite affluent and tend to buy things like expensive wine, bags of …
Zhufari Playset Review
Last year, Sausage was sent a Zhu Zhu Pet to try out and instantly fell in love, then on her first ever day at nursery, while Husband and I were hovering around in the Waitrose opposite her school, refusing to go home and be more than 1000 yards away from her, we bought her another one as a present.

Five Easy Steps to Brighten Up Your Kitchen
Anyone who has lived in rented accommodation knows that the flats and houses tend to be magnolia palaces, painted in the most drab and inoffensive shades of ‘BLAH’ and you’re often under other contraints, such as a contract that states you can’t paint the walls or put nails in the walls to hang pictures. Although my kitchen is the one room in the house with a modicum of colour on the walls (a nice shade of urine …
“My Name’s Mummy and I’m a Stresshead”
(Bear with me while I get through the necessary pre-amble, there is a cogent point somewhere at the bottom of this post!) Last September, we made the decision to send Sausage to Nursery three mornings a week and I couldn’t, in good conscience, sit at home scratching my arse while she was out, when I could get a job and contribute to the family coffers. Husband had been amazing about me staying at home instead …

Postcode Lottery
Like so many people in their late twenties and early thirties, Husband and I rent our house, we’re not in a position to buy and social housing is nothing short of a joke, so we pay through the nose to live in someone else’s house. Our lease is up in April and while we’re happy with our current location, we seem to be outgrowing our little bungalow and so looked into our options for moving. …
