Everyone who is a fan of Picnik will know that its days are numbered: from 19th April it will disappear, assimilated into the great Google black hole. This is the ‘Biggest Disaster Ever’ for me asd I came fairly late to the Picnik party in the first place. I’ve been wishing and hoping that the ideal [...]
I have never really had an issue buying Mother’s Day Gifts, fortunately. My mother is very easy to please! In actual fact it’s because I struck upon a brilliant wheeze, round about the time I met DH for the very first time, although this is purely coincidental. Every year on Mother’s Day, I send her [...]
