Coffee table details šŸ–¤ we finally have a coffee Coffee table details šŸ–¤ we finally have a coffee table in our lounge!! It was a real task deciding what to go for. 
We are so lucky with the size of our lounge and we felt we were getting rid of Rhodie’s play area if we went with something too big. After much deliberating, we opted for a budget friendly IKEA assemble which we are so pleased with! The glass gives the illusion of space, whilst offering that much needed coffee resting spot!

Will of course share more in due course! What do you think? Certainly not nailed the styling justttt yet!

Who knew it would be so difficult to photograph a Who knew it would be so difficult to photograph a down stairs loo šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø so here’s the deal, it’s not completely finished just yet, as we still have a blind to grab, and it’s since become the store place for all painting supplies, but I just had to share the colour. It would appear by my insta grid I don’t like much colour, but I do and this is the first real ā€˜splash’ of brightness. 
Downstairs loo can be boring, soulless places, and well we didn’t want that!

Can’t wait to share all the details, but for now here’s a snippet!

A little man and his love for his garden 🌿 Wasn A little man and his love for his garden 🌿 Wasn’t this weekend just lush? The sunshine, the blue skies, things finally look bright! 
We had a busy one, sorting through some of the junk we carried through the move, and finally get those must keep items stored in our loft space! I am a little gutted I’m not showing you a transformation of the two spare rooms, but it’s not long now, just a couple more boxes to sort and some things to sell and we will finally have a 3 bedroom house!

Rhodie thoroughly enjoyed his zoomies  round the garden, especially once we took the fence back so he had more room to run! Doesn’t he just look so happy. All he wanted was us all to be in the garden all day!

The grass is certainly longer and more established The grass is certainly longer and more established since this snap from early January. 🌿 Despite Rhodie being a little naughty and pulling a few chunks of lawn up in first few weeks, the lawn is going well. 
But as sunshine starts to appear, our next project is fast approaching - our garden! I have some high hopes for our long garden plot, including a larger patio and some much needed privacy. I didn’t think I would be, but I’m rather excited to get green fingered, and hopefully create a inviting outdoor space 🌿 Any advice for our rather daunting blank canvas? I’d love to hear any ideas!

I am so stoked that our loft is now BOARDED!🌿 Y I am so stoked that our loft is now BOARDED!🌿 You know how it is, those childhood mementos, wedding day cards and the odd air loom just have no other place that somewhere safe, like a loft. It’s something we completely underestimated, but we managed to find someone to undertake the work and we can see the light on our current mess that is upstairs! 
Yes, I thought he was coming on Friday, and yes he did get a fright when I opened the door yesterday morning in my dressing gown, but hey ho, it’s done and I didn’t know I could be so bloody excited for some plywood in a loft!

Dunno why but my colour transformation reel isn’t showing on my grid, but it’s still kicking my around. To say I’m in love with our new colour would be a understatement.

How to avoid Troublesome Tyres When Driving Up north

Scotland has some of the trickiest roads to drive on in the whole country. The large number of mountain passes and the numerous twisting country lanes mean that the wear and tear on your car’s tyres can be immense.

However, it is not just on exposed land in the Highlands that your tyres will suffer. You can expect just the same treatment from potholes and speed bumps in places like Glasgow and Edinburgh. The city streets in Scotland are just as bad as anything you might find in Manchester, Birmingham or London, for example. Indeed, in some neighborhoods, it is even worse with congested traffic adding to the pressure that your tyres will come under.

So, how do you avoid problems? I’ve collated together some tyre checkpoints before venturing anywhere long distant and rural like Scotland.

Keep Your Tyres Pumped

If you run around on partially flat tyres then they won’t perform as well. Not only do they increase the likelihood of skidding or spinning out of control, but flatter tyres also wear down quicker. Don’t over-inflate your tyres, however, since this can also cause problems of premature wear when you are driving about.

Tip : Head to a petrol station. Most if not all have tyre pressure facilities. The inside of your passenger door will have a guideline on the pressure your tyres should be pumped at. Petrol station facilities allow you to set the pressure you desire and alert you when you’re there.

Check Your Tread Depth 

If your tyres are wearing down because of the extra abrasion they get on Scottish roads, then you must make sure they are not illegal. By using a twenty pence coin, you can tell if your tread is sufficiently deep. Insert one into the tyres’ grooves. If the rim of the coin disappears from view, then the tread should be legal to drive on. If not, then change your tyres immediately.
You can get your tyres in the locality of Glasgow from the Point S website. 

Back Off From the Car In Front 

By simply giving more space when you are driving on Scottish streets, you will be able to come off your accelerator rather than apply the brake. Not only will this mean you brake pads are preserved but it will help to maintain your tyres for longer. It is a simple measure that more drivers should adopt.

Whether you are travelling or not, its well worth keeping an eye on your tyres monthly, where ever you drive. As we all well know, our roads are littered with potholes, and one to many bumps can cause serious damage to your tyres and car.

How often do you check your tyres? Are they in need for checking? Don’t delay and check today!
