Well, we did it guys, we made it to the end of 2020. I’m sure we are all ready to see in a New Year, even if we are still facing many challenges. It feels like a fresh start and hopefully there will be light at the end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n
As hard as this year has been I wanted to reflect on some of the positive things from this year. It was something that I did with the kids recently and I was blown away by how much joy they had found in this year.<\/p>\n
I realised that I too had much to be grateful for and that it was really important to embrace this. So, I thought I would share them with you. It by no means ignores the struggles so many have faced but I just want to document the good in the year that made us all take stock.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’m sure there is much I am forgetting but I am very grateful to be able to look back at many moments of happiness this year and don’t for one second take any of it for granted.<\/p>\n
Swanage steam and lights <\/strong><\/p>\n We have now joined much of the country in the Tier 4 gang but for a short time we had the privilege of being able to have a little more freedom to do a few nice things. We certainly didn’t overdo it but we did have one nice Christmas treat to bring a little magic for the girls. We went on the Swanage Steam and Lights Christmas train journey and it was a complete joy!<\/p>\n\n The beautiful old steam train had been completely covered in lights which lit up the Purbeck countryside as it travelled through the dark. Along the route there were light installations and we were accompanied by the music of Frozen, which the girls loved. Tilda and Ivy have hit the Harry Potter phase in a BIG way so of course this to them was like going on the Hogwarts Express.<\/p>\n\n\n I ordered them the Harry Potter Sweets the characters eat on the train to school including chocolate Frogs, jelly slugs and Bertie Botts every flavoured beans! One of my best friends had sent them Harry Potter school satchels and Ivy even wore her ‘Ginny’ costume. She also got picked to turn on the train lights which made her feel incredibly special.<\/p>\n It was really lovely trip and made us all feel lovely and Christmassy, we may make it a new yearly tradition.<\/p>\n Today’s Special Value<\/strong> – The Sealy Advantage 1550 Gel Deep Pillowtop Mattress and Divan<\/a> – available now!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n I think this year has made us look at what is important to spend our money on and our homes have been top priority. Comfort has been a top of the list and so many of us are looking to our beds. I for one bought new bedding to make it feel fresh and new. For some though it’s time to really make a change and update the whole bed!<\/p>\n So our Sealy Mattress and Divan offer is bound to be popular. You have the choice of upgrading your mattress and the divan or just the mattress. Now I have laid down on the Sealy beds at work and they feel incredible but I have not had the pleasure of sleeping on one so I wanted to get a proper review from someone who has.<\/p>\n Our gorgeous model Ali Bailey not only has one herself but she got one for her parents earlier this year in the last TSV. They kept their old divan and went for the mattress, pictured here.<\/p>\n\n Ali Bailey says – ‘On our old mattress I always used to wake when Charles got up at 5.30am for his weekday run. Sleeping on the Sealy mattress I don’t feel him get up! I wake when my alarm goes off.’<\/p>\n She added – ‘The delivery team were really hot on safety with all their PPE and foot covers etc so it all felt very safe.’<\/p>\n She goes into much more detail with an Instagram video she did back in the summer which you can watch here<\/a>, it’s her taking delivery of the mattress for her parents.<\/p>\n So if you are considering upgrading your bed then do look at this offer as it is a great saving no matter which size you go for but also it’s on Easy Payments and, as always, we allow you to properly try it and if you don’t love it you can send it back!<\/p>\n New Year’s Eve <\/strong><\/p>\n We won’t be able to do our usual New Year’s Eve tradition in quite the same way this year. A friend of ours started a ‘stone throw’ a few years back where we all get together for fizz and hot dogs on the beach. We write on stones the things we want to say goodbye to and our hopes for the new year.<\/p>\n We are going to do our family walk at the beach and still do the stone throw but obviously there will be no get together this time. I’m sure you can guess what we will be writing on our stones this year!<\/p>\n So, there’s only one thing left to say. Wishing you all a much brighter 2021 filled with happiness and most importantly health!<\/p>\n Lots and lots of love<\/p>\n Katy xxx<\/p>\n As always, you’ll find me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, we did it guys, we made it to the end of 2020.
