Oh hai there! It's me, have you missed me? This Oh hai there! It's me, have you missed me? 

This is when I emerged from my cocoon the other night and ventured out with @steph.hop for a bloody lovely evening at @cratebrewery

I knew I'd be wrapped up in layers but wanted to take my @locketdownjewellery earrings out for a spin. I love them so much.

It was delicious. 

We went to @thebargehouse for this for  my birthday a few years ago and I've been meaning to return so I was over the moon for this surprise this morning.

I bloody love halloumi. This halloumi flatbread wi I bloody love halloumi. This halloumi flatbread with tahini sauce was delicious. 

I'm slowly stepping away from the wintery soups and stews and towards the more summery flatbreads and salads. Although I'm not 100% happy to step away entirely just yet!!

Quick and easy but super tasty. Nasi Goreng for Quick and easy but super tasty. 

Nasi Goreng for dinner (with extra sriracha for me!) So tasty and feels pretty healthy because of all the lovely kale. 

Give me some more quick and tasty dinner ideas please?!

👀 I always feel like somebody's watching me 👀

I went for a walk the other day and when I stopped at @everythingbutthedog.eu for a coffee I looked up and saw the goodest boi watching me. There were two of them up there but the other one ran off just as I got my camera out. 

I love little surprises that make me smile.  What unexpected thing has made you smile today?

Got to drink a cuppa or two! ☕ Apart from my cr Got to drink a cuppa or two! ☕

Apart from my crazy love of cheese, the fact the I couldn't find a dairy alternative that I liked in my tea was a huge stumbling block in going plant based. 

I love oat and nut milks in my coffee but everything was just way too sweet to go in my tea. 

I spotted this @alpro my cuppa when I did my last shop and I liked it so much I've bought it again. It is a bit thicker than diary milk and it tastes sort of creamier but I like it. I just wish it came in a bigger carton.

It was only when I produced this for breakfast this morning that I realised none of my trips to @dishoom were with @heroesdieold ! 🙈 I've promised him we can go when lockdown lifts. 

I (obviously) swerved the coriander but, my word, it was delicious. I'm honestly a bit sad I had to share with Tom because I definitely could have eaten both of them!

I was fully influenced by @shoegolf and @liljoeymac so thanks for that!!!

Cece loves helping me bake so we made some super easy oatmeal and raisin cookies in the week. She really gets involved until she had to put her hands in and get sticky 😂

They're lovely and chewy.

How To Prevent Mould From Growing In Your Home

31/03/2021      Leave a Comment

*** This is a collaborative post ***

Mould can be a big problem in anyone’s home, and not just because it’s unpleasant to look at; it can be dangerous too, and it’s especially bad for your health if you suffer from respiratory problems. It can even damage furniture and other belongings. So of course, it’s best to try to prevent mould from occurring at all. Here are some of the best ways to do it. 

white and gold bathroom

Keep Your Bathroom Door Shut

Mould loves damp conditions; this is how it grows and spreads. The bathroom is a prime place to spot mould because it’s the room with the most excess moisture, although the kitchen comes a close second due to the steam produced there. 

With this in mind, make sure you always shower, take a bath, or generally use the hot water with the door closed. This will stop the moisture from spreading through the house, taking the mould with it, or at least laying a path for the spores to follow. The same is true when you’re cooking; keep the kitchen door closed.

Don’t Dry Clothes Indoors 

This is a hard rule to follow, and it’s one that we have all probably been guilty of from time to time. However, drying your clothes indoors without the right ventilation means that the moisture coming from those clothes will leach into the walls, carpets, and ceiling. Over time, this will contribute to the mould issue and cause more problems. 

Although it might cost more in electricity, investing in a tumble dryer is a good option as it will save your home from mould. When the weather is good, always hang your clothes outside if you have the space; not only will this prevent mould, but it makes your clothes smell and feel wonderful too. At the very least, if you have no option but to dry your clothes inside, make sure you open the windows.

Check Your Insulation

When it comes to mould prevention, insulation can be both a blessing and a curse. It can be a bad thing because it can become damp and hold onto moisture, meaning that mould can form anywhere in the house at any time. However, when you use the right materials, or you add materials such as Visqueen to your insulation, you can use it to protect against mould instead. 

Check your insulation, if possible, to see if it feels damp. Although you might not be able to get to the insulation within the walls, you will be able to get to the insulation in the loft, and this will give you an idea of what the rest is going to be like. If need be, replace your insulation or add the damp retardant materials, and this will help to reduce your mould problem.

Clean Carpets Regularly 

Your carpets might be harbouring mould right now, and you would never know. The only clue might be a slight damp odour every now and then, and, of course, when the mould itself spreads to the walls and ceilings. 

If you vacuum regularly, this will help to remove the mould spores that could easily have settled in the carpet, but to make sure that you’re removing everything, a carpet cleaning service might need to be employed.
