Hi<\/p>\n

Hope everyone is well! I’m quite excited as I write this as I’m going\u00a0to be running my first half-marathon of the year this coming weekend. I haven’t run an official race since the end of October when I did my “Ten in Ten” event (ten half-marathons in ten days in aid of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust) and ended up with a bit of an Achilles tendon injury. It seems to be more or less fine again now though so I’m really looking forward to getting out there again. I’m hoping for a dry day on Sunday although it’s fairly likely to be wet according to the forecast; however, I don’t really mind running in the rain – I got completely soaked on a run last weekend when I managed to go out in just a thin top and no rain jacket and it absolutely poured, so I’m pretty used to it!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Workwise there’s lots going on as always and we have a big two-day Fashion Event coming up on Monday and Tuesday the 21st and 22nd of February. Staying with the fitness theme, the Today’s Special Value offer on the Monday will be from Skechers<\/a>; it’s a slip-on trainer from their GOwalk range.\u00a0It will be available in a choice of six colours, and these styles are always really popular \u2013 very light, so comfortable and with extremely flexible soles so just perfect for getting those daily steps in or even just for wearing to wander around the house.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Tuesday’s TSV will be from MarlaWynne<\/a>. It’s a very lovely Abstract Floral Drama Topper in a choice of five colours. I really like this \u2013 it’s quite unusual with its big bold design, and ideal as a transitional piece to take us into spring.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Other brands which will be featuring over the two-day event include Finery<\/a>, Seasalt<\/a>, Moda in Pelle<\/a>, Kim & Co<\/a> and Denim & Co.<\/a>, and we will even see a rare Monday night appearance from Ruth Langsford<\/a>! \u00a0We will be together for an hour at 7 pm.<\/p>\n

This coming Saturday however sees a very practical Today’s Special Value offer from Shark<\/a>.\u00a0It’s an upright, corded vacuum cleaner absolutely packed with technology. It has an Anti-Hair Wrap feature so hair doesn’t get tangled in the brush roll (ideal if you have pets), a Duo-Clean head to glide over both carpets and hard floors easily, and it comes with three attachments and transforms into a powerful handheld vacuum at the click of a button. Although it is corded, the cord is 8m long so you can move from room to room without unplugging too often, and the machine has an anti-allergen seal which captures and traps 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum cleaner. I took one home to try out (see my little video) and can confirm that it is extremely powerful and also surprisingly quiet.<\/p>\n
