Removable Wallpaper

I saw this the other day and thought it was a great idea if you have little ones. It’s wallpaper you can simply peel off when you want a different design. Perfect for nurseries or a child’s playroom! I also like that the designs aren’t too kiddie but they’re still vibrant and bright.  You can…

Bosch

Having already blogged about the Samsung AddWash you’re going to think I’m laundry obsessed but I don’t care.  I’m a big fan of Bosch. Pretty much every appliance I have in my kitchen is Bosch, from the washing machine to the oven to the dishwasher to the tumble dryer. Their products tend to be well made and…

Joseph Joseph

I have two recycling tubs from IKEA that I love (click here). They cost a total of £14 for the pair. But if you want a more designer look then you may like the new Stack recycling range from  Joseph Joseph. I’m not sure if recycling can be sexy but they’re giving it their best shot. The range…

Garden Fence

This week has been all about our garden fence. Replacing the fence has been in discussion since we moved in a year ago. We knew at the outset that the fence wasn’t in good nick. It was rotted in places and for the most part it was annoyingly half height, meaning you could literally step…

Dualit

As I’m sure you recall I just got a KitchenAid mixer. We got a great deal, part of which was a £50 voucher to spend in Steamer Trading. I never have any trouble spending free money so I promptly made use of the voucher. I decided to replace our DeLonghi toaster. My husband and I have…

Tulips

Today we had seventeen for lunch (including ourselves). I’m not very good at this scale of catering so it had to be an informal affair. Food piled high on a table and plenty of places to sit; inside and out. Fortunately the sun shone brightly for the time we needed it to.  What was really…

Soak & Sleep

One of my favourite things on Earth is a bubble bath. I will happily soak until I’m lobster pink and wrinkled like a prune. And I love my bed. I can contentedly lounge around in bed for hours. Reading in bed? Cosy. Breakfast in bed? Sold! I’m clearly part-Sloth.  So it’s no surprise that I adore…

Drain Cleaning Sticks

OK, hear me out. I realise I’ve already blogged about oven cleaner and solidified my boring housewife image but these are really clever!     Ecozone enzymatic drain cleaning sticks claim to break down almost anything that can cause blockages and bad odours and can be used in any sink that has a u-bend.   They…

Update: Dulux Light & Space

Just a quick one… I had a few people commenting about how wonderful the Dulux Light & Space paint sounded after I mentioned it in a previous post (read it here). It was for our daughter’s relatively small room. It claimed to reflect light and made wondrous promises. Well, my decorators, The Chuckle Brothers, have been…

Oven Cleaner

I couldn’t believe it when my friend Kate confessed that she hadn’t cleaned her oven in ten years. Not once. In a decade. The Monica Geller in me practically fainted. It’s OK now though. She’s currently renovating her house and centre stage of the new kitchen will be a self cleaning oven (I pretty much…
