This day I love.......

Our main bathroom is used predominately by the girls.  My husband and I are lucky that we have an en suite so the girls tend to use the main bathroom as their own.  The girls however much prefer showers to baths, and our main bathroom does not really cater for this.  Whilst it is modern I think the girls would prefer something just for them


The girls would much prefer a shower bath which would give them more room to have a shower and more room to play something like these from Big bathroom suites.


The curve in the bath gives the girls much more space to splash and play and of course sing their favourite song, 'Let it go'.  Which gives me the inspiration for our bathroom, Frozen

To create the perfect ice/snow floor we would need some sparkling white tiles and for the walls we need to build them from ice bricks with splashes of Elsa blue


To give it a special feel I would hang an ice chandelier and paint snowflakes on the glass of the shower screen.  A final touch of a frozen inspired mirror would create the perfect space for the girls to sing 'Let it go'

Please take a look at more design ideas for my Frozen inspired bathroom

Bleach? Cleaning products? I have been sat pondering what best to write about bleach and cleaning products. You see I could write a review about how I used the new Harpic white and shine to clean the bathroom. How thanks to the addition of baking soda, along with bleach I got a superior clean and how impressed I was. Or even how easy it was to use. I could also write about how Harpic limescale kills 99.9% bacteria, is 5x better than bleach and is amazing at removing lime scale. The thing is I want to try and write something a little different.

Yes I am impressed with the Harpic range at cleaning, and yes it is my preferred brand but did you know it can also be more than this? Ok so first let me give you a top tip for cleaning a bath and then something a little different.

Top tip

When we moved into our new house, we were very lucky to have a whirl pool bath in our bathroom. Cleaning the bath however is a little tricky, how do you get into all those jet pipes? How do you ensure all the little bugs and nasties are killed? So here is my tip, fill the bath with water just above the jets. Place a capful of Harpic white and shine into the water. Turn on the jets to full and leave for 10 minutes. The Harpic will clean out all the jets. Empty the bath, rinse and repeat the process but this time with the limescale remover. This will ensure that all the limescale is removed and the bath cleaned. Rinse and repeat one final time but this time just with the water and only for 5 minutes. This is just to remove any residue Harpic from the pipes of the bath.

Something a bit different

I wanted to try and do something a little creative, so I decided to make/customise a pair of leggings each for the girls for our Team Honk relay.  If like me you are a little accident prone you will know that bleach on clothes stains so I thought about using this to my advantage and staining the clothes deliberately.

I would like to add that bleach is a chemical, its not to be played with and therefore should you try this please wear gloves and do so in an appropriate area.  

I mixed 1 part bleach to 1 part water in a spray bottle and marked out my design on the leggings.  I then sprayed the mixture over the design and left for a few minutes.

I rinsed the leggings in cold water after a few minutes to stop the bleaching process and left them to dry over night.  The next morning the leggings had bleached but unfortunately for me I had not left the mixture on long enough, so the pattern did not work.  At least I know for next time to leave it on longer!

You can vaguely see an outline but you can definitely tell where the bleach has been.  I will try this again  but perhaps with a bigger picture and will leave on for longer.

I was provided with a bottle of Harpic for the purpose of review. Words and opinions are my own.
