I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this any more.

January 9, 2012 By 11 Comments

I read an article in the Guardian last night. It had chilling echoes for me of a previous situation where a government decided they didn’t like something and would legislate against it, regardless of the actual facts of the situation. Basically, what is going on is a government that caters to the rich (mainly by [...]

Have you drunk enough today?

December 9, 2011 By Leave a Comment

This is a Sponsored Post, but with a difference. There are no brand links. I'm not going to talk about a product. Instead, it's a bit more like a public service announcement. Today I'm being sponsored to talk about hydration. Did you know there's a 2nd Annual Hydration conference happening? I certainly didn't. In fact, [...]

News, reviews, competitions and bits.

November 1, 2011 By Leave a Comment

A few things to cover this week, though not as many odd news releases from PRs for some reason. I did get word yesterday of a new competition from Lloyds Home insurance with a top prize of £10000 – something to do with submitting pictures of your favourite room. As I don’t really have such [...]

A boy and his morb.

July 5, 2011 By 2 Comments

We went to christmas in july, courtesy of ukmumstv. A hall full of toy stands that they wanted children to play with and touch, so they did. And of them all the thing that Small was taken with most was a morb in a fighter jet. To the extent that I went back to check [...]

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble from Top That! Publishings.

June 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I’ll be up front about this book – I don’t particularly like it. If I hadn’t been sent it to review, I doubt very much that we’d have it in the house. Which would be a shame, as Smallest wouldn’t have spent time sitting on the couch reading it to herself. Granted, the reading sounds [...]

The Cooperative – a thoughtful alternative (sponsored post).

March 14, 2011 By 1 Comment

When we moved here a couple years ago, I was quite pleased to realise that there’s not a lot in the way of big supermarkets about. Instead our local convenience shop is a medium sized East of England coop. I also like the fact that they carry local food, clearly labelled – our mushrooms travel [...]

Books worth waiting for…

February 18, 2011 By 5 Comments

and authors worth seeing. Yesterday I passed a Waterstones. Well, actually I didn’t. As I was attempting to pass a Waterstones it lured me in, by offering me a free magazine and book for signing up for a Waterstones’ card. And then, last night, I was browsing their site (as you do), and I spotted [...]

Sigg drinks bottle review.

February 13, 2011 By 3 Comments

I was recently fortunate enough to be chosen to review Sigg drinks bottles as sold by Purekit. I confess until the bottle arrived I didn’t quite know what all the fuss about Sigg was for – surely a drinks bottle is just a drinks bottle? Just how wrong can you be? I like to avoid [...]

So what’s the point of a mifi then?

January 10, 2011 By 3 Comments

Recently on twitter I came into contact with Johanna who works for Three. We chatted about what works for bloggers, and then, more privately, about what would work for me As a result, when I went on holiday in December to a youth hostel, a mifi followed me there. Now, it turned out that there [...]
