When it’s time to meet up with the ladies in my life, we love a good cocktail, a quirky venue and decent transport links as we’re all over London and don’t like wasting time getting home! That’s where Oslo in Hackey ticked all the boxes and became the destination for our latest catch up. Situated next door to Hackney Central Station on Amhurst Road, Oslo…

With all this crazy weather we have going on right now, it’s not only ourselves we need to look after when the nights get darker and colder! Nope, our cars are usually taken for granted and during the winter, car care is very important. We’ve been predicted a rather cold, snowy end to the year which will certainly take it’s toll on our tyres and our engines so we…

And that was…

The one thing that I’m overly looking forward to about buying a house within the next year or so is having our own garden. I’m a huge fan of having those BBQs that start Saturday afternoon and go on to the early hours of Sunday morning because the time just flew by as you’re all having so much fun. It’s also so nice to have somewhere…
