Back in March I took part in a blogger competition (see my entry here) to renovate a piece of furniture, and I was lucky enough to win first prize! I was so so excited as the prize was a £300 NotOnTheHighStreet voucher and I love their website. I picked out all of my goodies right away and eagerly awaited their arrivals.

It’s been a week since my last blog post which is possibly my longest blog break ever! I usually try to get posts up every few days but I’ve been crazy busy lately with starting my new job and Christmas etc. And best of all, Liam came home from being in Africa for 3 months on New Years Eve, and we had an amazing week away in a cosy cottage with just the two of us. So I’ve not been online…
