    @@gillianhope7742 I always say white but then think are they actually known as white or brown. The pasta is so yummy and I’m not usually a fan of chicken and I’d never tried chorizo before because I don’t like pepperoni and thought it would be similar but it’s actually delicious. I’m doing evening meals of the week this week and I’m going to show the ingredients and how to make xx

Can’t wait for you to style everything up on KZread. I’ve not got instagram and twitter etc. fab hauls.

    Thank you so much. The blanket is stunning, I don’t think I did it justice as watching it back you can’t really see properly how beautiful the detailing is. Yes I know what you mean about the price of the M&S vase, I saw it ages ago and thought it was expensive but then I kept thinking about it and I’ve never seen one like it before. So last week when I went in to look at cushions there was one on the shelf and I gave in and brought it home. Wouldn’t normally pay that much for a vase but it is beautiful. My partner usually tells me off for the amount of home decor I buy but I’ve got away with it this time as we’ve completely re done three rooms so he couldn’t moan 😂 xx

    @xtheclayfamilyx it is a beautiful vase, and I do love it. When I went to the store to buy it, there wasn't one left but went in again and already spent a lot on clothing, new glasses from their opticians and other bits so I didn't buy it. Will do next time. They also do a tall slimmer vase in the same pattern, a lot more expensive again, think its £65 x
