I knew that having children would be a life-changing experience, but I was thinking sleepless nights, worry, going out with sick on my shoulder. I didn’t realise they’d teach me things like this:
Slow down
I remember rushing Harry to along one day, constantly telling him to get a move on. He was looking at the moss on the wall, studying the traffic lights, gazing up at planes. Eventually I realised we weren’t actually in a hurry and that I’d find it much less stressful to go at …

My 6-year-old, Harry is currently a bit obsessed with drawing. He can sit for half an hour and then hand me ten pictures he’s crafted for me. It’s lovely, but if I kept them all, the house would soon be overflowing. Here are a few things you can do with your children’s art:

I’ve been a long time advocate of online food shopping. Ever since we lived in a top floor flat with Erin I’ve religiously ordered my weekly shop online, so when Tesco offered me online vouchers to sell the benefits of online food shopping it was a no brainer!
I’ve been going through the same routine now for over five years, here are my reasons.
1. Save time
If I shop in person it takes me about two and a half hours. Half an hour to get there and back, an …

To say there’s been a lot of discussion about this would be an understatement. I’ve been studying the case for an economics essay.
Having studied the case and the OFT’s rulings on disclosure I have concluded that bloggers like myself needn’t worry too much.

Okay, maybe not 101, but everyone knows that baby wipes are incredible versatile, right? I wanted to make a list of just how many different uses for them there might be? and so I opened it up to Twitter:
Removing pencil scribbles from walls @MrFraig
Spring cleaning a laptop @patroclus
Cleaning the car @Caff_Ward (They’re great on the dashboard and steering wheel – Keris)
Wheeling a manual chair makes your hands black with muck. If I’m going to be out for a while and now in my powerchair I take them …
