No more in the dog house – a review of vet bedding
Penny dog loves to get wet. A very typical labrador, she loves jumping in the river, puddles, streams and any muddle puddle she can roll in. This can often leave her in the dog house when she comes back in soaking wet and muddy, dripping all over the floors and the sofa. I recently heard about something called vet bedding. I was told it would be perfect for Penny as she can get on it after getting wet and it will get her dry but the blanket will dry quickly and keep her warm. It sounded ...

Treating myself – a swimming costume review for UK swimwear
I have had my swimming costume for years and my bikinis for even longer. It’s just not a priority for me, like most of my wardrobe my costumes date back to BK (before kids). Even though my daughter has a different swimming costume for every day of the week and my son the same, I have the one staple costume that comes out for the gym and holidays. When contacted by UK swimwear I initially hesitated as I don’t generally review clothes for myself, only for the children but after thinking about ...
