  • I have to say TK Maxx is my favourite place as well :) in fact it is pay day today so I am off there to find some bargains lol!

    I love the look of your kids room, I don't know if I would get away with it though as mine are 15 and 8 so a huge age gap, both girls mind you!

    I would love for them to be in together as the eldest has a tiny box room, although it would make a nice office/homework area!

    May chat to them over the weekend!

    Am desperately trying to reorganise my home to make it more my 'style'. After spending most of my adult years in old victorian houses that were definitely shabby chic I remarried and we moved into a modern house. New OH didn't understand shabby chic and wanted everything 'new' but slowly I have been changing him so that now 7 yrs later I can start changing things.
    Here's one pic of my kitchen . I will add others as I start clearing and changing. But it must be remembered that this is all work in progress,

    I just wanted to say (not got time to go back and look for the post) to the lady who was looking for red typhoon enamel accessories, that Next sell enamelware at the moment and they have a six peice kitchen set selling for 30 pounds (which seemed good value to me):
