Mike the Knight – T shirt, toys and thoughts on gender.
As I may have mentioned on twitter a few hundred times, Smallest is a big fan of Mike the Knight. So when I saw him on twitter offering T shirts for review, I leapt at the chance. They are available through Tesco, and unlike many other branded T shirts, didn’t appear to me to be…
Thinking slimmer three weeks in #review
I’ve been listening to a slimpod (Say goodbye to baby fat) every night and a fitpod (Make fitness fun and easy) most mornings (think I’ve missed that one three times). To be honest, when I first came across Thinking slimmer via twitter last year I was sceptical. Odd, because I know better than most the…
Can you buy motivation?
I don’t know. But today I thought I’d give it a go. It’s a per una linen dress. I bought it for 8.95 in the East Anglian Hospice shop. The reason you aren’t getting a picture of me in it is because it’s a size 12, and I very much am not. I bought myself…

I'm struggling for words today.
I’ve been reading the #ShareNiger stream and blogposts, and it’s getting me down. So many ppl with so little, and we have so much. I went shopping today, filled my trolley for £67 with food that we’ll devour over the next week or so. We don’t eat particularly extravagantly, tonight was our splash out takeaway…
I'm worried #ShareNiger won't be enough.
I’m following the story on twitter. Sponsoring a child in Niger. Quite frankly I’m pestering ppl in an attempt to spread the word – tonight I sent it to two of the ppl who run #SMGirlfriends on twitter, which has massive reach. I’ve talked about it offline too. Told the Scout leader last night. And…
Toasters, shampoo and jigsaws – a round up review post
As has been painfully obvious to the long suffering PRs I deal with, I have fallen hugely behind in recent weeksmonths. I blame the baby. And the broken netbook. And maybe the rain. So here’s a few reviews that have been sat waiting oh so patiently… First up, idealo is a website that offers price…
Lunch at Frankie and Bennys or TANSTAAFL
The wave of reviews of Frankie and Bennys restaurants has been quite enormous, but nevertheless, I’ve one to add. Having read a few reviews before we went, I was a little nervous, but hey, we don’t eat out all that often, and this had got to be a treat. We went during the week at…
Let's talk about drought.
There’s been a huge amount of talk in our media recently about drought and hosepipe bans and so on. And it’s true that it’s been very dry, particularly in East Anglia over the last couple of years. (Not in the last couple of months however, but that’s just typical really.) Reservoirs are depleted, and although…
