Choosing The Right Bedding for the Bedroom

Over the past 2-months, and whilst hubby has been laying the dining room floor and painting downstairs, I've been slowly, bit by bit redecorating our bedroom. First I bought new bedroom furniture, next I painted the much-needed bedroom walls and then ordered myself a new mattress (which is my best buy ever! expensive, but oh so comfy which makes it so hard to get out of bed in the mornings).

8 Ways to totally Re-Invent your Bathroom

There might even be some of you that have had a spur of motivation, begun a complete bathroom overhaul and then life got in the way.

It costs around £8 per person, that means for a family of five a trip to the cinema costs at least £40, and that’s without popcorn or other snacks. That’s a lot of money when you think about it - it’s the majority of a week’s food shop! For this reason, more and more families are choosing to save money in the long-run and build their own home cinemas. Sure, these don’t come cheap, but they are worth the money because of what they save you in terms of cinema costs in the long-term. Fancy creating your own home cinema? Here’s how to go about it:
