testing moblogging
this is a blogpost from the N97, via pixelpipe. got to say this keyboard isn’t as usable as it looks at first sight, the keys just aren’t very responsive, and it isn’t big enough to touchtype. think I’m actually slower on this than I was on the E72. (There’s a test I should be doing,…
The Co-operative Community Fund wants you
The Cooperative Membership Fund is a community fund/ grant scheme looking for groups who want to make real change in their community. They give out grants from £100 to £2000 funded by donations from their members – and the money stays in the area it was donated. Groups don’t have to be charities, but they…
on the fourth day of Christmas
we chilled. And we opened our first family Christmas present, which turned out to be a fabulous selection of books and bits. It included To Kill A Mockingbird which is one of my all time favourite books. Can’t quite decide whether Big is ready to read it – I think it was probably second year…
Book blogging/ reading/ reviewing challenge.
During our week away I’ve been thinking lots more about my blog for good challenge. I’m intending to donate from any blog related income – I’ll do that as and when I actually receive anything! The Santa Run for EACH is next weekend. My costume is here, waiting for me to put it on, and…
Boggle Flash review
As I’ve discussed several times before, my main aim in education is to get out of the way and let my kids get on with it. Having said that, I’m not above a bit of strewing, particularly with educational games, and so when an offer of Boggle Flash to review came in, I couldn’t resist.…

My trial E72 from @WomWorldNokia went back on Friday. In fact, both of them did. Because I ended up with two – the first one that was sent displayed odd behaviour when typing in a browser – it flipped the first two characters around. This is not a known bug apparently, and was thought that…
Babysitting Mama competition
We were watching TV the other day when an advert came on for the new Babysitting Mama game from the makers of Cooking Mama. Big was fascinated. And that even with a real live baby in the house to practise on. It really would be right up her street tbh, such a shame we don’t…
All this review stuff
I’ve actually been keeping most of my reviews off this blog recently. That’s because I’ve joined the Great Toy guide review team, and you can find my thoughts on various stuff over there. One of the things we were sent to review recently was a Playmobil advent calendar, and you can read all about it,…
Are you living the good life?
That’s the good life like the TV show (The Good Life) 🙂 but maybe a little updated for a new century? This isn’t a sponsored post, before you start wondering, unless you count the jars of Whole Earth Foods peanut butter I’ve been given to review. They’ll get a post of their own in a…
