Missing

Alloha! Ok so this is one of those mundane 'sorry I stopped blogging' posts. I just literally had to no time and was a bit ill and yucky for a while and had actually only planned to take a break for a week or two but it got a liiiiitle out of hand. Anyway, I am back, I shall resume normal(ish) service next week.

Week in Words

I have had a tiring week! Not that I have been doing anything strenuous or have been particularly busy but it's been a long one! What have you all been up to? Any memorable bits? Here's mine!

• Getting stressed out by the amount of STUFF and general junk in our house.  We probably have enough to do about 5 dump runs but we just don't have the time.
• Wasting a whole hour of my afternoon sitting in the doctor's waiting room.... I appreciate the fact that we don't need to make appointments to see our doctor and that there is open surgery every morning and every afternoon but it just always seems to take so long.
• Doing a big food shop and actually sticking to budget.  It's always my aim but I get very sidetracked by all the goodies on offer....
• Putting up with the husband whilst he's quitting smoking, phewwwwww.
• Sorting out Christmas merchandise at work!
• Organising sky installation!
• Having a lovely evening with my beautiful friend drinking tea and possibly having a tiny wee gossip.
• Attending my little cousin's 1st birthday party.  He is such a clever little cutie!
• Rushing around after having a gorgeous lay in.
• Having to chuck my first cuppa of the day as my milk was off (despite being a new carton and being in date).  It was rather horrific.

I'm sure I have missed out bloomin' loads but I am absolutely shattered and I have a tooth bothering me and no painkillers in the house!

Secret Corner - Dibor

This week's secret corner is a lovely French style homeware store called Dibor.  This family run business has recently relaunched and you'll find tonnes of beautiful things.  As well as the french flair there is also a touch of vintage which I absolutely love! They do a wide range of gifts so make sure you check it out if you want to get a head start on your Christmas shopping!

I have actually held back a bit on my favourites, there is some real cute stuff but I thought I would keep it short and sweet today.  First up is this downright lovely Amelia Lamp which I am seriously considering buying for our bedroom.. so obviously I would need two! I'm not entirely sure yet if I am prepared to spend that much on two bedside lamps but I have struggled so much trying to find some simple, plain white lamps for the bedroom - who knew it would be so difficult!

Next up is what I would call a "grown up" item haha.  We get terrible draughts through our house in winter and it drives me mad so this draught excluder is on my "must buy" list.  And the red fits in with my living room, must be fate.

In keeping with chills of winter I just bloody love this faux fur throw.  Look how snuggly it looks! It would be utterly stunning draped across my bed... or any bed for that matter! I would not let anyone touch it for fear of dirtying it but it just looks amazing and COSY.

So, what do you think? Is French style your thing?
