Winding down with Premier Estates wine | Review

by StaceyUpdated on August 4, 2017August 5, 2017

I never really used to be a wine drinker; always more of a cider or lager girl. That was, until the boys came along and I started to enjoy a glass of wine or two, to wind down in the evening. My go to choice would be a sweet rosé or a white, but I’ve become more accustomed to a glass of red nowadays. I do find it lasts longer, which is a good thing with me, as I’m a bit of a lightweight when it comes to wine. Ahem. Anyway, the lovely people at Premier Estates Wine sent me a few …

The Psychology of Colour | Interiors

by StaceyUpdated on November 28, 2025July 31, 2017

When we moved into our house almost two years ago now, there was a lot of redecorating that needed to be done. In fact, almost every room in the house needed at least a lick of paint.

Our bathroom did have …

MOR premium sausages | Review

by StaceyUpdated on June 4, 2024July 25, 2017

Sausages. I lose count of the number of sausages we go through monthly, especially the boys; they eat so many! The sausage hunt on Slimming World is a whole other story, as a really tasty, juicy sausage will cost a lot of syns. If I want a bog standard sausage, I will probably just use SW (or, dare I say it, Weight Watchers) ones, but I don’t mind spending my syns on a more premium sausage sometimes. The lovely people at MOR recently sent us some of their premium sausages to sample. Because they’re packed with nutritional vegetables, they are also …
