YoYo Ceramics Rubber Glove

In my slow progress of revamping my house, the kitchen is next on my makeover hit list. I want to spend more time in it making delicious things and therefore I want to have nice things in it. One thing that always bugs me though is that sink accessories are either functional plastic and a bit ugly or stark looking wire things that don't work as well as they should. And where do you put your scourer and sponge? Mine are either wedged by the taps or on the windowsill. It looks a bit messy even if everything else is sparkling tidy.

I want this ceramic rubber glove from YoYo Ceramics to hold them.

It's much prettier than plastic and a lot more fun. You can fling your actual Marigolds on there too. It's £15 and comes in pink too if yellow's not your thing.

Saving for a cloudy day

I've been having one of those days/weeks where, like an old-fashioned cartoon character, I've been walking around with a cloud over my head. Got too much to do (grumble grumble), all my money is going on moving house (boo hoo), and worst of all - that great British moan - the weather has been just pants (huge sigh). I'm self-medicating and have decided that one of these money boxes will chase the clouds away.

If I store up my pennies when the gods of financial sunshine are smiling on me, then come that rainy day - or at least a day when it'll take more than a bar of dairy milk to lift me out of my fug - I should have enough to treat myself to a little something special. 

The money box costs £30 from Yoyo ceramics. I'm hoping that this cloud definitely will have a silver lining.
