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 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)…

Christmas jumpers for everyone
I saw my first Christmas House last night. You know what I mean, the houses that I always refer to as Griswold houses after one of my favourite Christmas films, ‘National Lampoons Christmas Vacation’. I did think it was a little early to be decking the halls as such, but it did give me a warm glow too – Christmas is coming! With all that in mind, my Friday shopping focus could only look at one thing – the Christmas Jumper. I remember when these were something only worn by people trying to be funny or ironic – the dreaded gift from nans and ancient aunts in possession of a…
