Back with my favourite girl and the boys ( who were running late so it was just us ) on a beautiful some parts sunny, some parts rain, some parts cold 😆day in Surrey. Back in an area I use to go clubbing in, so it’s bringing back all the nostalgia, I’ll give you a tour of some spots I use to visit or work in this week. A lovely week ahead to help another deserving family. Wish us luck, and don’t forget to catch up on all of series 6 now on @bbciplayer Series 6🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 madness!

My first ever organising product is here 🥹🥹😭😭🤞🤞 I could have put my name to hundreds of products over the years — but I waited. Waited for the right company, the right values, the right vision. And @thecontentsbag_andme and @fabricworkslondon were always the obvious choice. This isn’t just a packing cube. It’s an organising tool — designed to do a job and look beautiful doing it. Baby wipes and nappies. Sports kits and swimwear. Hair accessories and holiday T-shirts. Wherever life takes you, these go with you. Made from a washable, waxy fabric woven in Scotland. Built to last forever. Designed to sit as happily on a shelf or in a drawer as they do thrown into a tote bag ( the matching large tote of course) from our previous collection together. Small, medium or large — build your collection slowly, mix and match, or go all in. And yes, of course there are labels coming. Because everything I do gets labelled. 🏷️ Watch this space. This is our first limited edition drop — all handmade, so be quick. This is the first product I’ve put my actual name on, from design to execution. It means everything, so I hope you love it. Choose well. Buy once. Be part of the story. 💛 Comment cube for the link to buy. #dillycarter #packingcubes #contentsbag

You knew if I was ever to launch an organising product it would be the most considered, thought out, multi-use product you can use. Launching tomorrow, limited drop. Be quick.

14 years ago today, my life changed forever, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health. There’s not one of those sentiments that you haven’t stuck too, forever by my side. My constant in a life that is ever changing. What a journey we continue to go on together, there is truly no one else I would want to do it all with. The best part of us is Nelly and what a daughter she is, the very best of both of us, our miracle child, thank the lord for her. Our greatest gift to each other. There is always so much I am grateful for in life and for someone who would bet on the fact I would write a post before you get to work if you could 😆 my best bet has been you 😆 The one everyone wants to be around even if he’s sloped off to bed by 10am, the king of sloping off 🤣 My Tequila drinking, football loving guy. Your a guys guy, but your also my guy, to know you is to love you, and everyone around us does. The coolest man I know. And like this song that I sent to you in a Facebook message 16 years ago, there’s nothing I won’t do to make you feel my love. Swipe to the last pics for a very young looking us 💞 @charleycarter1

Motivation Monday ✨ The best way to kick off your week is by organising your hangers! 👗 It takes minutes, but if you do it weekly you’ll always be able to see exactly what you have - and plan your outfits for the week ahead. You never know, you might even find something that has been hiding from you, or something to donate and sell! Happy Monday dollies - let’s make this week a good one!💞

SORT IT SATURDAY 💪 This week’s Sort it Saturday is all about your family games! 🎲 Everyone’s games area looks different - maybe you’ve got a cupboard, a shelf, or like me, a shallow footstool in the front room. Work with what you have! Here’s how I organise mine: 🎯 Switch your games into A3 bags - you’ll be amazed how much more you can store ✂️ Cut the front of the box off and pop it in the bag so you can still identify the game, or read the instructions 🏷️ Label the bags and group similar games together ♻️ Donate anything you no longer play with (especially things the kids have outgrown) The whole aim is simple - be able to see what you’ve got and everyone can reach it easily. Good luck! Let me know how you get on 🍀

Fashion Friday - and yes, I caved! You know how much I live in my brown @varley Hawley tracksuit - honestly it’s on repeat most days - so I thought it was finally time to add another colour to the collection! I ordered a few to try on at home (dangerous, I know!) and now I need your help deciding what to keep! 1. Ivory Marl - more summery, but I am already panicking how to keep it this clean! 2. Black - always a classic colour 3. Rich Raspberry - I was surprised how much I loved this 4. My original love, coffee bean 💞 Which one would you wear?👇

Something very exciting is coming soon…. Comment CUBE to be the first to hear when it drops. A very small limited collection. @thecontentsbag_andme

Sunday Seven 💞 There’s no place like home, but what a week it’s been. 1. The end to filming in the most glorious sunshine all week with the most glorious family. Patiently waiting for a lift 😆 2. Can you believe we are filming another series? What would you like to see more of on this one? 3. The loveliest surprise. 4. My mum turned 85 this week. Of all the things my mum has taught me my favourite is learning how to cook Sri Lankan food. Did you know she lived in Sri Lanka for 8 years with my dad and that’s where she learnt to cook. My curries are unrivalled. Better than a restaurant I think 😆 5. Buddy has started dog training so he doesn’t run down the road every time the front door is open. Wish him and me luck. I need to toughen up apparently. Which is true. I enable his bad behaviour 😬 Charley’s happy someone else is telling me straight 🤣 6.I usually travel light but this week my cases weighed more than me. This was my curated collection for what I needed. Some food choices right? I couldn’t even lift my of one myself it was so heavy…. Packing tips coming for your summer holidays! 7. Speechless . Stay tuned. It’s mortifying but also hilarious🫢 there’s a reason I don’t drink much anymore.

And thats a wrap 🎬 Episode 1 under our belt, what a beautiful week spent in Bournemouth with a gorgeous family. We have started with a big one. Thankyou Bournemouth for welcoming us and looking after us so well. What a beautiful time to be by the sea! I’m in my old stomping ground next…… anyone know where that may be? Happy weekend Dollies, so good to be back!!

Happy 85th birthday Mum🎉 The strongest woman I know. You have taught me what hardship means and how to keep going no matter what. My resilience and strength comes from you. My grounding, kindness, generosity, morals and core is all you. Even though we couldn’t be more different we are exactly the same. I owe all this life to you. You sacrificed so much to give me the best possible start in life and that’s exactly what I got and for that I am eternally thankful. Hope they spoil you today with love, I’m sad to miss you. But I’ll be back to see you tomorrow xx 💞💞💞💞💞
