Emma Bridgewater and comic relief
Isn’t this just gorgeous? It’s the new Emma Bridgewater range for Comic Relief, and you can get it exclusively from Homesense and TKMaxx. I’m very happy to be reviewing the double oven glove (£7.99 with at least £4 going to comic relief) and the Bag for Life (£9.99 with another £4 donation). There also mugs,…
How we home ed a toddler
With books for pre writing skills And fabulous solid poster paints Which were so good Small had to get in on the act (It should be pointed out I drew the heart. ) Shared reading books. And a sleeping babe. He won’t fit in there much longer. And that was our morning. There was some…
Read 52 Life after life and Grace under Pressure.
After a less than brilliant holiday last week we’ve come back with a bumper batch of horrid colds. I even ended up taking to bed for a day, but to sleep instead of read. Which is probably why I haven’t finished my book this week, so the review of Life After Life will have to…
Scent of Magic by Maria V Snyder review.
This is the second of the Avry of Kazan series, and the second book I’ve read from this author. The first,Touch of Power was, I think, one of Big’s favourite books from last year. I bought it for her to enter one of MiraInk‘s review competitions, sadly she didn’t win, but she was hooked nevertheless.…
The End of Your Life Book Club review
The End of Your Life Book Club on Amazon UK I was sent this a while ago from Two Roads Books. I started it, but just couldn’t get on with it somehow. I put it to one side and promised myself I would come back to it when I had more time to focus. This…
Binatone Kidzstar Tablet review.
Buy at amazon A quickie review (just) before Christmas (though if you’re a twitter follower you’ll know I tweeted an even quicker one yesterday!) – obviously this isn’t an in detail cover of this item because we’ve only had it a couple of days, and the first day it was on charge! However, if you’re…
Quick test on blogging from HTC One X
When I do phone reviews, I have a number of little tests I like to do. One of them is blogging from it. Right at the moment I’m trying google voice input which is surprisingly good. Can’t work out how you delete though. Now I’ve found the Swype equivalent. It’s called HTC trace and is…
All terrain kart review.
It’s great having big kids. But very often the things I’m offered for review are for small children. So when I was offered a all terrain kart for older offspring I leapt at the chance. There was some assembly required. I was impressed that it came with its own tools though, no messing about trying…
Sunrise E-Cigarette – reviewed.
Those who know me, know I don’t smoke. Tim, on the other hand,does. Not in the house, not ostentatiously, but daily, and expensively. So for today’s review, I’m handing the blog over to him. Tim: My credentials as a reviewer? I have smoked for over 40 years, and smoke about 17 cigarettes a day, I…
Shades of grey.
Now that I’ve found the back button, which is cunningly hidden by virtue of not being illuminated unless you use it, and discovered something that seems very much like swype but is called connected keyboard usage, I’m very happy with the note 2. And as for the above picture, that’s done with a pre installed…
