Thanks for this Avril – such an important topic to share and one close to my heart. Who cares if it’s off topic when it could potentially save someone’s life. Very glad your results were clear and I’ll def visit the new shops – a friend was telling me how great the furniture one is.

Great post Avril & what a fantastic service, you are indeed lucky. And the shop…… I’d love a browse around it (bit of a trek from Cork unfortunately)..

Wow – how busy, slow down! We’ve been slowly looking at sofa’s for months and nothing takes our fancy so I feel your pain. Can’t wait to read about your Lidl purchases! Aldi had some great Merino wool base layers in last year but I wasn’t quick enough to get my size x

I’m struggling with H&M this season and I always like picking up little bargains from there. Oh yep – I did – I got another plain white shirt from there for the summer but there wasn’t much else really grabbing me. But I’m really looking forward to the Lidl review – I like a bit of Lidl but clothing in there is a new one on me.

You are right – I need to slow up….maybe that’s why I’m procrastinating on the sofa? Meanwhile, we’ve nowhere to sit…lol x

Haha – it’s time to tackle the spare tyre…it’s getting harder and harder to hide it and once I get a new comfy sofa, I’ll not want to do any exercise so there’s only a narrow 8 week window here x

Haha Helen – #middleclassproblems eh? I shouldn’t complain as there is so much choice but they’re hugely expensive and take ages to make so I want to be sure I order one that will stand the test of time. Our old one is 15 years on the go and I still like it…would keep it if it wasn’t falling apart! x

Oh my word I’m exhausted! And that’s just from reading about your activities! Love the top …. intrigued by what you might have bought in Lidl (really??!!) and mega sympathies on the sofa search

I’m exhausted just reading that!
The top is totally different to what you usually wear … I’m used to seeing plain (this is good!) and lots of matching.

Well it all started so civilized and then you start talking about gyms and sofa searches. Both are my pet hates. Love those mugs though. I can see where you’re going with the colours Avril xx

Great blouse, loved it when you posted that picture on Instagram.

Two sunny days here as well so far this week & lots of ticks on lists. Oh & washing on the line. Can’t beat the smell of wind/sun dried washing!

As I said before, when I saw your blouse on Insta, I love it on you. Gosh you sound like you are busy. My head would spin. That quote is spot on, for you, because when everything is all complete you will be drumming your’ fingers wondering what you can do next. H xx

Hi Helen – I sized down with mine. I’m usually a 6.5 but I got the 6. They were snug to start with but have stretched a bit. I find the bigger size makes my feet feel huge! Hope that helps x

Your Zara ones are just fab Avril….I bought a couple of cheap pairs last summer but need to get a better pair this season, I have the same problem as Helen at (The Flaky Fashionista) they are all so wide on me, and they look as if I am wearing boys shoes! How are the Zara one’s fit wise? Helen xx

I resisted thus style for a while too but when I finally bought a pair from H&m last summer, there was no going back! I love them. Your new Zara ones are gorgeous, Avril. Lynne xx
