When Andrew meets Charlie he can't believe his luck has changed; she seems perfect in every way and miraculously just as into him. Life is on the up.

But then a series of seemingly unrelated events unfold and one by one the people around Andrew get scared, hurt or worse. Slowly Andrew begins to suspect the events may be connected and starts to doubt if his perfect girlfriend is a perfect as she seems...

We bought our beige carpet before we had kids. Massive error. In the past six years it has had taken a hammering. Juice, food and two rounds of potty training later and Husband was convinced it was beyond saving but the Carpet Cleaning Kings at Carpet Bright UK suggested we give their cleaning services a try before we take drastic measures. Here's how we got on (plus there's a special discount for my lovely readers at the end so keep reading!)

Carpet Bright UK is a family run business with an expert team of carpet cleaning technicians across Surrey, Kent and South London. I was particularly keen to try out it's carpet cleaning service as all the products used are certified safe by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation. Little I suffers from asthma so it is incredibly important the cleaning products we use are suitable for her to be around. I hadn't realised just how important a clean carpet is for her asthma condition but Carpet Bright UK's eco-friendly products remove on average 94% of common household allergens from carpets. Brilliant.

​So just how bad was my carpet? Well as you can see above it was pretty grotty. We had a huge stain by the toy box which I think must be squash or juice, lots of random stains and the high traffic areas through from the kitchen and in front of the sofa were just... yuck.

It’s that weird time of year again, when the holidays are truly over and we are excited to begin a new year with a fresh start. I often find myself easily slipping into a strange place in January; perhaps it’s the lack of daylight and the lack of excitement going on in the world as everyone returns back to work and school. This year, I am determined to boost my happiness this month by changing my routine just a little bit each day.  Every little thing counts!

If you are really looking to get everyone in the household excited, gather everyone to start planning a family holiday or outing! Having something to look forward to will keep your moods high during the days in between. Look online for local deals to theatres and museums, or flip through magazines for destination getaway ideas.

Jack and Grace are the perfect couple... or at least they appear to be.

​They look amazing together, host elaborate dinner parties, finish each other's sentances and dissappear away on romantic exotic holidays.

​But Grace is never seen alone, she always cancels plans and  she never answers the phone. What is going on behind the front door of their perfect home?

Christmas is over, January is firmly here which means only one thing; sales time! It would be safe to say I'm a bargain hunter. I begrudge buying anything full price and love finding a gem in the sales, usually online. I had never heard of Love The Sales, so when they contacted me aboout their website which filters the best of all the sales across the web it was almost too much excitement for me to process. ​526 pages of dresses alone. You get the picture! I've been addicted to the site ever since are some of the best January sales bargains I have found across the site:

There is nothing better than a lovely cup of tea but with so many myths surrounding tea it is hard to know if our beloved cuppa is actually good for us or not? I joined forces with the lovely people at the Tea Advisory Panel (TAP) and the expert tea blenders at Ahmad Tea to bust those black tea myths once and for all (Plus you can win some lovely tea!)

Welcome to 2017 everyone! Thank you for continuing to support my blog and I wish you all a fantastic year ahead.

Normal service will resume here on Tuesday and I have lots of exciting plans for the blog in 2017!
