I've not compiled a Christmas List since the early seventies , when I would quite literally sit and flick through Kay's catalogue...for hours and hours on end. Fighting with my brother over whose turn it was to have a look. I'd scribble down item references, make lists (most wanted, stocking fillers etc.) and eagerly pass them onto Mum and Dad Santa. … Continue reading Dear Santa …
Letter to my 20-year-old self…
In less than a month I'm 45. Yes forty flipping five years old. December 15th if your remotely interested. Cards are most welcome (as is alcohol...and chocolate) Which got me thinking... In 5 years I will (hopefully) hit the big milestone that is 50. How the bloody hell did that happen, it only seems 2 … Continue reading Letter to my 20-year-old self…
Skincare , green stuff and Mulled wine
Good Morning all, Today's a skin update post... Will it be a spot free, bright eyed and bushy tailed Christmas? Oh I do hope so and I have the products to hopefully ensure I do.

I can't get out of my head that the victims never got the chance to say goodbye to their loved ones, never got … Continue reading Dear Paris…
Head problems… and the search for the perfect green dress
I'm currently sat in a little room in Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield. For the past 24 hours I've have lots of little probes stuck to my head with glue that monitor my brain waves. They're making my head itch like hell, and upon removal will probably take half my hair and forehead skin with them! I'm … Continue reading Head problems… and the search for the perfect green dress
Charity shops, Topshop Goodies and puking cats …
OK, so I've not had the best last few days... A flooded kitchen, NO Balmain x H&M ( which according to recent reports could be a blessings in disguise ) Last night I woke up just as Lola (one of my pesky cats) was about to do an exorcist and puke all over my head! (minus … Continue reading Charity shops, Topshop Goodies and puking cats …
Who ‘stole’ my (faux fur) heart ….
Stole - A woman's long scarf or shawl, especially of fur or similar material, worn loosely over the shoulders. Don't you think there's something rather lovely about a faux fur stole. Reminiscent of the 1950's; an era when ladies looked super elegant and it was all about the glamour. I do love a bit of … Continue reading Who ‘stole’ my (faux fur) heart ….
