It lives!

Hello Vox, remember me? I've been neglecting you, sorry.

This is partly because I've been out playing and enjoying myself, and partly because I got emailed out of the blue by someone I used to work for years ago - and was commissioned to write 40 articles. Joy!

But there has been a bit of wandering round and looking for bargains too. If you're quick, there's 20% off the ludicrously luxurious top bedding ranges at Debenhams, so you could be naughty and grab a tasty set of 500-thread count and get snoozing/trysting like royalty. The homewares section at BHS has some very convincing designer looky-likey items for your boudoir, living room or country-style kitchen, and there's money off the plain porcelain dinnerware too.

There are some really good sample sales coming up, and we've just gone into September's new seasonal foods, and I'll blog about them later this week if I get a moment. In the meantime, I just had a steamed artichoke with melted butter and black pepper for my lunch. Cor. Tasty.

I've also been messing about on eBay, and buying cute little tops for going out in (short sleeved silk blouse, brand new with tags for £2.20 delivered, anyone?).

So, overall, things are kinda lovely. How are you?
