A boy and his morb.
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.
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…
I'm going to Latitude with Rowse Honey
And what’s more, you can too 😀 Rowse will be operating a Howse of Honey at this year’s Latitude festival in Southwold, and they are running a fantastic competition giving away five family passes to go along (and check out the Honey Howse 😉 ). All you need to do is tootle over to their…
The Cooperative – a thoughtful alternative (sponsored post).
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…
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.
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?
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…
What are you doing today?
Are you setting up a Christmas tree? Shopping online, or maybe, shock horror, out at the shops? Perhaps you are wrapping presents, maybe you’ve been or are going to church. While you’re doing all of that, I’m getting up early, putting on my running gear, and driving to the next town, with a Santa suit…
Could you make money from your blog?
As many of you are aware, 😉 I've been doing some sponsored articles on the blog. They've been via ebuzzing, part of the wikio group of websites, and the current campaign is actually about them, as they are looking to recruit more bloggers 🙂 I've found it reasonably straightforward to use and there's been plenty…
More moblogging
This time from the HTCDesire on loan from Three. I’ve installed WordPress for Android and I’m tapping away fighting with the predictive text, but I can’t quite seem to figure out why sometimes I end up somewhere else on the screen. I shouldn’t like this phone, but oh I do. I can’t quite work out…
