That JM dress reminds me of a school production when I was about 13. Midsummer Night`s Dream and someone`s Mum made wafty sleeved frocks for Titania and the fairies out of old net curtains and pieces of chiffon. I played Hippolyta and my dress was made from some very heavy brocade curtains with...

Mine arrived this morning and I`m very pleased with it.

Paul Costelloe have a brilliant outlet section on their website and some really nice bags at good prices. I ordered some jewellery cases and small goods from there as Christmas gifts. https://www.paulcostelloebags.com/product-category/outlet/

My youngest son who`se in his mid 30`s is a Star Wars fanatic. He collects all kinds of Star wars stuff, lego, models , figurines etc and he and his partner saw a concrete 3ft Yoda in a garden centre and he knew he had to have it. They don`t have a front garden just a small path with a brick...

The liquid is brown coloured once its cooled T but don`t let that put you off, it doesn`t stain or mark anything, its just the natural colour from the soap nuts.

Reminds me of a house I once lived near. It had a front garden complete with wishing well, toadstools, umpteen gnomes doing various actions from fishing to swinging in a tree and more besides and what I presumed to be fairy houses. Little kids loved it especially as it was en route to a local...

Crikey yes I had one of those baskets too and trying to carry a pyrex dish filled with whatever we`d made in cookery class and aboard a crowded school bus was a nightmare. It was ok when we made small cakes, biscuits or something which was dry but our domestic science teacher frequently made us...

The shoes were recycled from her Mum who had originally bought them for herself but decided they were too high for her and my granddaughter claimed them. The shoes are from Shein originally...

Soap nuts are great. I also used to boil a handful in a large pan of water for about 20 minutes, leave it to cool, strain the liquid and bottle it. It`s ideal for a laundry liquid, washing up liquid, shampoo or for cleaning. You can add a few drops of essential oil such as lavender if you want...

I`ve only ever watched bits of bake off, never a full episode. I`m more a fan of the Sewing Bee. I must say AH makes me cringe, she so loud and her laugh sets my teeth on edge. I daresay she`s a nice enough person but she seems to be everywhere on TV at the moment and it prompts me to change...

Last year my then 16 year old granddaughter had her school leaving prom. Unlike most of her classmates who turned up in glittery long dresses with slits up to their knickers, cleavages bursting out and backless strappy dresses, enough makeup to sink a battleship and looking like ten bob...

Penhaligons have begun their sale. They`ll probably add more items as time passes...

Yes they have a rose and grey one on the website but sadly not in my size. The other colourway is black and white but I already have enough black and white items. I`d have ordered the rose and grey one too because the paler colours would have been good for Spring but sadly it doesn`t look as if...

I`ve had a little spend in the sales (not QVC sales) but the items I`ve bought will be worn often and will last and never date. Last year from Marks I got a lovely silver grey satin pleated skirt for the bargain price of £13, this year I got the same skirt in gold but in their description they...

Peace, goodwill and good things to all. If you are alone may you not feel lonely, if you are poorly may you feel some respite, if your loved ones are far away may you think of them and they of you, may your belly be full, your home be warm and your heart be contented and we will all gather again...

I had a nightmare with Evri a couple of weeks ago. We used to have a great courier man but he`s either left or changed routes because in recent times it`s been a pic n mix of different drivers. I ordered some bedding and towels from Matalan and when the parcel was delivered the guy left it on...

Mr V works part time as a taxi driver but has a memory like a sieve so a planner/diary is something he keeps in his cab to note down specific fares he has to collect, especially airport pickups. I`ve ordered him a planner from this site but they also do notebooks of various kinds. You choose the...

It`s one woman who makes and sells Andi and because so many films are now digital and not film, I should imagine there`s a limited number she can get hold of. She seems to sell out quickly though. I`d message her if I were you and ask if/when she might be getting the films you want.

Another unusual stocking filler from an Etsy seller. Back in the days of cinema films they were shown via reels unlike the digital cinemas of today. Anyway this seller uses genuine cinema reels and makes them into bookmarks and other items. My son is a mad keen Star Wars fan even though he`s now...
