Father’s Day ideas from Mainline Menswear
With Father’s Day now less than a month away, I am going to be giving you some ideas for gifts for that very special man in your life. I find Father’s Day a much more difficult proposition than Mother’s Day, simply because my own dad is very difficult to buy for. He will never say what he would like, so you end up playing a guessing game and hoping for the best. So I have decided to put some gift guides together based on specific themes, with the first one being inspired by my husband – the designer clothing lover. Pete is a different proposition entirely to my dad –…

HP Instant Ink replacement service – convenience for your printer
There really is nothing worse that having important documents that you need to print off and then finding that your printer is out of ink. Whether it be holiday documents, letters that need to be signed, important forms of any kind, or even something that your child needs for school – an assignment that has to be in the next day maybe, sometimes we need things to be printed out and handed in instantly, but with no ink, this just isn’t happening. Which is why I think the ink replacement service from HP is such a brilliant and convenient idea. It is also a really simple idea. When choosing your…

Enjoying a perfect Father’s Day
Today I am turning the blog over to my husband Peter, who has been invited by Health and Safety training experts SHEilds to talk about what makes a perfect Father’s Day. This year will be quite a different Father’s Day for me, as I will be spending it in sunny Portugal, hopefully on a glorious beach, or splashing around in the pool with Joe and Em. And, in a way, this is a pefect example of what Father’s Day should be like, because it should be an opportunity for quality time with those you love. A perfect Father’s Day would start with a lie-in. I have to get up early…

Jackie the Musical thrills audiences at the New Alexandra Theatre
As a child of the 1980s, Saturday meant just one thing, getting my latest copy of Jackie. The magazine that taught a generation everything it needed to know about fashion, beauty and, most importantly love, was literally my Bible as I made the trip towards adolescence. Sadly Jackie is no longer with us, it belonged to a more innocent time, with the last issue leaving the press in 1993. But now its spirit, and sometimes hilarious advice is back with us in the form of a brilliantly realised musical, complete with a musical soundtrack that captures the fun of the days of pinups and Cathy and Clare perfectly. I went…
