Extra storage from the Plastic Box Shop
I cannot be the only one looking at a child’s Christmas list and thinking ‘where are we going to put all these toys?’, or trying to sort the wardrobe from Summer to Winter (I know I’m late, but two weeks ago the weather was still fairly glorious). and struggling for space to store the summer clothing until the warm weather comes around again. If you are also facing similar dilemmas, then the Plastic Box Shop would be a great website for you to take a look at. The Plastic Box Shop has a fantastic range of storage solutions that will basically address any problem area. If you need storage for…

Wallis bring the glitz to knits
There has been a lot of talk about knitwear on the blog this month, the sudden drop in temperature and the realisation that Winter is just around the corner has made me quite conscious of the need to wrap up, plus there has been the focus on jumpers of the Christmas variety (you can find that post here if you haven’t yet seen it.) But jumpers are not just something to wear when it gets cold, they can also be a really glamorous evening option too. Just ask the people at Wallis. Wallis have taken knitwear in an elegant, evening direction. Using embellishments, glitter thread and fluffy wool, Wallis have…

A Christmas letter from the Lapland Mailroom
My little boy Joe was unwell today and didn’t go to school. So whilst we were tucked up under blankets on the sofa, we thought this was an ideal opportunity for Joe to write his letter to Santa.

We had picked up a Santa letter writing kit from The Works, and had a lovely time putting together sentences about ‘Star Wars’ toys and Playmobil Castles, and dragons. Now, what Joe doesn’t know is that I already have a reply from Santa sitting in the…

If you are looking for something a little special to wear to a party this Christmas, or you’re looking for a present for the lady in your life (mom, sister, wife, daughter – basically any female relative), then you need to make sure you visit the Boden website this week. For this is the week with the famous 25% off discount that allows you to make some rather good savings on some gorgeous pieces including both clothes and accessories. Boden promises that it offers ‘the gifts she’ll love’, and I have to agree. They have Christmas jumpers with a twist, offering a sparkly bauble or two, or a completely sequined…

Blue Mango – a fantastic food destination in Birmingham
Blue Mango, situated on Regency Wharf in Birmingham, may just well be my new favourite destination when it comes to Indian Food. It combines unusual dishes with delicious flavours and great attentive service, to create a wonderful dining experience that makes you want to go back again and again. I can’t wait to pay my next visit. We were greeted warmly on arrival and taken to our table. The restaurant has plenty of large tables to accommodate family groups, but we were seated at a cosy booth style seating area that was perfect for a couple. We were given time to peruse the menus, and order drinks. Pete (my husband)…
