Now I’m going to let you know that I’m feeling pretty smug about this one. Not only did I get the table for free, but I’ve got it (in my humble opinion) looking pretty awesome and didn’t cost the earth. A bit of the back story as to why I’m so obsessed with this table… Continue reading My bargain upcycled table

When you feel like you’re not making much progress
I wrote this title thinking about the house renovation but actually, it relates to others things going on in my life and my current mood of late. Firstly, the house. Now that we live there, we are constantly working on it but lately I’ve been looking around thinking ‘come on, when will one room at… Continue reading When you feel like you’re not making much progress

Sh*t just got real
GUYS. Our notice has been handed in, therefore that means that we have just over three weeks to leave our cottage and get our house in a live-able state. The vegetable patch is looking great - the plants are producing beans and peas, the potatoes and broad beans are growing brilliantly, and I'm not far… Continue reading Sh*t just got real

After scrolling through some recipes on BBC Good Food, I… Continue reading My first attempt at jam
Bird Nerd
I am a HUGE bird nerd! I've always loved birds, especially birds of prey and ever since I met my handsome one, he reignited that love as he feels very much the same. We really are two peas in a pod. We had last week Friday off, which was brilliant as all we want to… Continue reading Bird Nerd
Where to start…
Well to begin with we spent the majority of the weekend in our new house! I'm sure everyone thinks this when they buy their first house, but I just love it so much. On Friday I raced home from work to see my handsome one and Bella at our cottage; after rapidly shoving some food… Continue reading Where to start…
We’ve completed!
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! There have been tears, anger, stress and times we thought we would lose the house, but thankfully it all worked out in the end. Unfortunately, we both have to work today so I am itching for 5.30pm to arrive and I know you shouldn't wish your life away but I'm just… Continue reading We’ve completed!
We’ve exchanged!
I can't believe it but we've exchanged! FINALLY! After the week we've had with paperwork being incorrect, solicitors not answering the phone and lots of fun things like that, I didn't think that we would exchange today. Now whilst not exchanging today might not seem like a big deal, because you can always do it… Continue reading We’ve exchanged!
