Over the years, bathrooms have seen many colour trends which have come and gone. From the ghastly avocado bathroom suites of the 1970s (a delight we acquired when we bought
No clothes shopping challenge – how I’m getting on two months in
I’ll be honest. When I started my no shopping challenge back in January, I didn’t actually think I’d make it this far. Over two months have now passed, and I’ve bought no new clothes … I’m amazed at myself! And what’s even more amazing is that apart from one little wobble, I’m not missing shopping
