Welcome to the Blogs

With the winter weather gathering momentum, keeping the home warm is a big priority, especially with the fore coming festive events. One simple and easy way to keep the heat in whilst adding a little style to your interiors is to have well made curtains, and at Plumbs Curtains right now, it is offering a big 50% discount on a range of selected lines to please all types of tastes. And as an extra bonus for your taste buds, Plumbs is giving away a free box of wine to every customer who requests a home visit and then places an order by 30th November.

Now that winter is creeping closer and closer it’s a good idea to make sure all your windows are fully draught sealed or have sufficient coverings to keep the heat in. In doing all of this you can combine it with good style, a little flair and not too much money, and on Homes and Bargains right now it has revealed it’s top tips to getting bargain curtains, blinds and other window coverings and fixtures for your home.

This Saturday just gone saw the Telegraph release the second Bargain Britain supplement. Produced in association with our very own favourite bargain hunter and ProblemSolved founder, Alison Cork, it was absolutely jammed packed with offers and discounts letting readers in on how to get the best that money can buy for the home and garden, for not much money at all.

And as promised, if you missed this 16 page gem of information and deals, don’t worry. On the Telegraph website you can now peruse at your leisure the same amazing deals and offers which featured in the supplement.

It may be time to start thinking of pulling in the purse strings though it doesn’t harm to take a peek here and there especially if you can cross things off a few things on your list early.

If bargain hunting is your thing and you fancy getting your hands on some stylish quality homeware at rock bottom prices, make sure on the 27 October a copy of the Saturday Telegraph is sitting on your coffee table.

Why i hear you say?

I dislike myself for even mentioning it before the first of December, but if you are super organised and already thinking of the big C with ideas on what to get people, why not try out Kelkoo.co.uk, a shopping comparison site where you can compare the price of absolutely anything.  Homeware and clothing to gadgets and electronics and much more in between, the website’s a useful starting point for figuring out what is a good price for those pre thought of goods.

Whittard of Chelsea is having an end of season sale where you can find discounts of up to 75% off a range of their products. From bone china and hand painted ceramic mugs and tea pots, classic coffee machines, sweets and caffeine free fruit fusions to delectable hot chocolate mixes such as Mint Chocolate Chip Hot Chocolate and Luxury Dreamtime Hot Chocolate, tea break will never quite be the same again.

I have a small passion for good lighting and something which I feel you cannot beat is the light created by a natural flame. It is easy then to imagine my delight in finding these small but perfectly formed tea light holders from Crocus. The Bauble tea light holder (£5.95 for one, £15.00 for three) is a flawlessly formed 8 cm diameter sphere of glass, hung inside or out it is guaranteed to create an atmosphere of calm.
