This will be our first Christmas in our new home. I know I’ve said before that it’s a little old-fashioned but I have to say, we feel more at home here then we ever did in our previous rented house. As I’ve said previously, I don’t know whether we will be having Christmas […]

Come Dine with Furniture Village
I saw my brother and sister in law yesterday as we all took Dad to the hospital for an x-ray. A nice little family outing if you will. I haven’t seen them for ages and it was good to have a catch up. My sister-in-law is lovely. Irish and mad as a box of […]
New Interior Haul
You may have seen this post about back-to-school goodies I chose for Dexter from Zazzle (and I even snuck some goodies in there for me too), but this selection is for the house and I thought you might like to see what I chose. It’s now been two months since we moved into […]
A house update – pink carpets & copper lampshades
We have been in our new house for approximately fifteen days, one hour and 12 minutes. Not that I’m counting. Suffice to say, I am absolutely delighted to have my own space back. It’s amazing how much I have taken having my own place for granted over the years but I don’t think I […]
House Update & Dining Room Wishlist
It’s been six days since I heard the bad news about my house falling through. You may be forgiven for thinking that I would wallow in a ball of self-pity and gin, but only one of those is true. (Mmmm … gin.) Instead, I arranged to see a house the very next day. […]
Homeware Haul – TK Maxx/The Range/H&M
If you follow me on social media, you will see that I appear to have a bit of an obsession. No, I don’t mean the Idris Elba one. I mean my current love of all things copper. I have a bit of an addictive personality so when I like something I really like […]
My New Home – The Kitchen
I took my best friend to have a look around my new house last Saturday because I’m just SO DAMNED EXCITED, I needed to show someone ASAP. This way, when I wang on about “You know that corner of the dining room that’s by the patio doors that go into the conservatory” … […]
Dreaming About My New Home
I am really struggling at the moment to concentrate. My day-to-day thoughts, when I am not being forced to discuss FIFA or Minecraft with Dexter, are all about my new house. They are literally all consuming. I dream about what colour my front door will be. Seriously. Should I replace what’s already […]
My New Home
If you follow me on social media, you may have seen me mention that I’ve been house hunting recently. My landlady, as lovely as she is, has selfishly decided that she wants her house back. I KNOW! So Dexter and I have been looking for somewhere else to rent because I have no […]
Making a House a Home … with George Home
Some of you may remember that I began renting in March this year after being in my previous house for 20-something years. It’s been a challenge getting used to a new house but we’ve been extremely happy here and I’ll honestly be gutted when we move on in three months’ time. The […]
