Mary, Mary quite contrary do you shop on line?

Today, let me introduce you to a new website I've discovered called Verynice2.com who have a special discount to offer for mums!

When time is precious and lots of us are running around doing multiple jobs there isn’t always the time to browse and shop as we would like, even window shopping becomes a thing of the past. With children to care for, school runs to do and many mums and women working from home lots of us turn to the internet to shop, which offers us a queue free shopping experience in comfortable surroundings.

Some of us are experienced internet shoppers, buying most of our purchases online, knowing the benefit of one click shopping and the excitement of waiting for the parcels to arrive. We buzz around the internet visiting favourite sites often getting carried away deeper and deeper into the unknown by clicking on links and finding a world of great shopping and wonderful websites. Others are more hesitant and have yet to take the plunge into the online retail world but would love to dip their toe and have a go.

Whatever your experience of the internet so far, at Verynice2.com you will find a house wares company who are aiming to understand our customers needs, and offer top brands such as Simple Human and Brabantia with a complete shopping experience for the home, we understand that time is limited and often mums are up late working or getting up early to avoid the family rush in the morning, sometimes using this time to shop and browse the internet.

If that’s you, we would like to get to know you and offer you the chance of shopping for your house wares with us using a 10% discount code- mums10 to be used between 10pm-11.55pm when we think many of you are hard at work or having a quick trip around your favourite sites, so why not stop by and say hi.

We look forward to meeting you soon!

Argos Kids Clothing Review

Did you know that you can buy children's clothing at Argos? Well now you do. The realisation that you could buy branded and character clothing in your local Argos store came as quite a revelation to me when I first found out in December last year. As a working mum who gets little time to go shopping, I'm often restricted to just clothes shopping online or in the shops in the small town-centre where I work. Being able to buy children's clothes are Argos helps matters a lot.

Lara has been reviewing some of her favourite items from the current range of Kidswear. Argos stock clothing for children that features some of their favourite characters such as Thomas & Friends, Cars, Hello Kitty and lots of Disney friends. And, much to Lara's delight, they stock Peppa Pig clothing. That's Lara won over then!



Lara's sweatshirt and jogger set costs just £15.99 and comes in sizes for ages 2-5. It is a really nice thick tracksuit material perfect for keeping warm at this time of year and it is very durable too. There is a little Peppa label at the bottom of the trouser legs but I think the top is the star as Lara can wear it over the top of a t-shirt or alone.



Lara's long-sleeved t-shirt is part of a two-pack which costs just £11.99. Lara lives in long-sleeved tops like this so it's great to be able to offer her a t-shirt with her favourite piggy friend on it. These days Lara likes to choose her own clothes and these two tops get chosen first - if they are in the wash then Lara goes searching for them!

I'm happy with the value for money of the Argos clothing range but it is the convenience for me that really wins me over.
