Sponsored post A lovely treat today when the doorbell rings and a delivery man hands over this little basket of deliciousness: As well as the special new Whip ‘n’ Mix Oykos yoghurt pots, with blueberry sauce in a separate little corner pot, there was a pair of blindingly white towelling slippers from the White Company, …
Sponsored post I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I have two favourite phrases in the whole world. They are, ‘I love you,’ and ‘have some free chocolate.’ I’m not entirely sure what my order of preference is, either. All right, all right, I’m never going to be the second Mother Theresa – but we kind …
Sponsored post One of the perks of having a blog is that people offer you nice things to try out. Often I’m not sure whether they’ll be used and I try my best to say no (though it’s hard to turn down free stuff – it just is!) and sometimes I say yes and wonder …
Sponsored post My inbox is full of oddities – people urge me every day to buy everything from coffins to extra large water butts – and I’m sure yours is the same. But when I saw an email saying ‘Buy a Lady a Drink,’ of course I had to linger. One never knows where one’s …

Sponsored post I won’t bore you with my New Year’s Resolutions, most of which have bitten the dust already – well, come on, it’s the 7th of January – but I will share a strange little hope with you. No, not that strange. I’d like to learn to knit. I’ve mentioned before my horrible struggles …
Sponsored post If you’ve ever wondered what Father Christmas gets up to for the other eleven months of the year, you’ll be greatly indebted to PhotoBox, the nifty online digitial photo folk, who have done ground-breaking research on the subject. They haven’t quite gone as far as installing CCTV cameras at the North Pole, but …
Sponsored post I’m really excited about this – I’ve been offered ten free pairs of tickets for my lovely readers (that’s you) to go to Stylist Live, a rather fabulous event held in at the Business Design Centre in North London over next weekend, from 15th – 18th October. ‘Stylist’ is a pretty broad and …
Sponsored post I’ve been waiting for ages to write this post as I’ve been very scientifically testing some lovely products, all on your behalf of course. They’re from Tazeka Aromatherapy and the packaging is really stunning. Have you spotted the common denominator? Yes, the three little bottles. They look like extremely upmarket little perfume flasks, …
