I’ve just been sent this by Warner Bros – I’m gutted because none of the cinemas are near me *sad face* which is a shame because I think Sandra Bullock is ace. But I thought that some of you might like an afternoon out at the cinema. It’s on a first come/first serve basis so get there quick!
Here’s the trailer if you don’t know about the film

Back in my pre-child days Jo Malone products were a regular staple of my bathroom cabinet, now they are a rare but welcome treat. I think that their fragrances are just beautiful and so evocative when used around the home.
So imagine how happy I was to find out they have collaborated with Farrow and Ball (Slipper Satin Paint my favourite!) to make their first ever coloured candles.
What they’ve done is matched all the fragrances – Lime Basil & Mandarin, Wild Fig & Cassis, Grapefruit, Pomegranate Noir and Blue Agava & Cacao with the classic Farrow & Ball colours Farrow & Ball Breakfast Room Green® (No 81), Farrow & Ball Pelt (No 254), Farrow & Ball Oval Room Blue® (No 85), Farrow & Ball Farrow’s Cream® (No 67), Farrow & Ball Eating Room Red®(No 43). I think for me it would have to be Blue Agava & Cacao Home Candle (200g) in Farrow & Ball Oval Room Blue® (No 85) – just a gorgeous colour and scent.
If you’re feeling like treating yourself they are available from 16th April.
Earlier this week, I set the Spring Clean – 10 Minute Challenge and here’s how mine went, I started with the smallest job I could find. Our shoe basket in the hallway looked like this.
I took them all the in lounge and had a sort out. It turned out that one member of the family had 10 pairs of shoes in the basket and it wasn’t Lily or I Between us we managed to give to charity 15 pairs of shoes which either didn’t fit (Lily), were ridiculous (Me) or didn’t really like that much (Paul)
Our Basket now looks like this.
The liners are still in the wash (as they were seriously scary!) and should be ready soon. The next 10 minute job is our wardrobe….I’m leaving that for Sunday morning!
I can’t believe it’s been seven years since Lily was born, it feels like a heartbeat ago. But there she is, a funny, kind, smart, sassy little girl. I couldn’t have asked for more when I saw those dark little eyes for the first time.
In the odd flash of conversation with her I can [...]
Tara at Sticky Fingers has started a photo linky ‘The Gallery’ and the theme this week is beauty. So here’s my entry, I took it last year when my peonies were out. I can’t wait to see them again!
We were sent ‘The Fantastic Mr Fox’ on DVD a couple of weeks back for us to review. Now frankly I’ll watch anything with George Clooney in – even if it’s just his voice and Lily’s studying Roald Dahl at school at the moment, so this was the ideal film to send us.
Here’s Lily’s view [...]
The sun is out and that means just one thing…..I can see all the dust and stuff lying around the house. So I’m having a Spring Clean Party!
You don’t have to do a lot, just one 10 minute job you’ve been meaning to do all winter and blog about it. Mine is the shoe baskets [...]
Yesterday I got the call every mother dreads ‘Lily’s been hurt in a playground accident, we’re a bit worried about concussion. Can you come and pick her up’. So I went roaring down to the school in a sick panic to find my girl in the school secretary’s office trying to be brave with her [...]
And the winner of the Cornishware Mug competition is…….*drum roll*….. Lucky Number 21
