Miss M reviews Furreal Friends Cookie

I love dogs. In my youth I worked in Boarding Kennels and groomed pampered pooches for a pittance I adored every minute of it. The slobbery kisses, the waggy tails, being knocked into dog baskets by over-friendly alsations, and wandering round a field with a shovel and bucket hunting out great mounds of [...]

Morphy Richards Accents Kettle and Toaster Review

I’ve not always been particularly lucky in the kitchen department, in fact at times it’s been downright disastrous, but thanks to Morphy Richards, the kitchen in our new house has developed a bit of retro chic in the way of a new toaster and kettle.
In June we received the gorgeous Accents Cream Traditional Kettle, and [...]

Misses E and M review Umi Shoes through the medium of dance/song/cheese

P.S. From a parent’s point of view they’re also pretty fab. M’s have been washed twice and come out sparkly and fresh with no colour fade, and both are very comfortable and cute. I can see my two spending the whole summer in them. Thanks for sending us shoes to review lovely [...]

The one where I thought my blog was dead, and a tiny small Interflora Review

I missed my blogaversary.
How rude!
But I learnt something.
When your friend is awaiting the arrival of his new baby boy, and has been through a variety of virtual reincarnations and hence changes of email address over the past year, do not, I repeat DO NOT rely on the poor man to remember to register your domain [...]

Come to our pyjama party…

..where Misses E and M will wear gorgeous Feather & Black girls pyjamas as they were lovely enough to send us the owl ones for Miss E and the butterfly ones for Miss M.

Gorgeous aren’t they?
Now I don’t normally spend too much on clothes for my girls, we tend to be Primarni and Schmesco kids [...]

Milk and More – Review

When I was a kid we had a milkman.  The empty bottles went out at night and fresh ones were there in the morning.
As an adult I have never had a milkman (wipe that thought from your mind immediately, cough), so when we were given the chance to try the services of Milk & More [...]

Nokia N8 – Tell Yourself Where to Go

I have a new toy
It’s lovely, and shiny and sparkly
See

But it is also fun, because I now have a recording of Misses E and M to give me directions as I drive around.
Yep, I know, that could be annoying, but just think, it’s a way of being in complete control of your kids, while letting [...]

Charrrrrrrrrge

In May last year I was contacted by the most patient woman in the world to see if I’d like to review the Premier Family Charger.
Having 84 miles of walking ahead of me across the width of the UK along Hadrian’s Wall…

..I had a feeling myself and my fellow walkers might be battling over plug sockets [...]

Morphy Richards give blogger a new pet

I am cleaning my house with a dinosaur.
No really I am.
It stalks from room to room destroying everything in its path.  It has decimated the dirt on my stairs, gobbled my living room carpet to cleanliness, and slicked the dust from my laminate floored kitchen like a small child’s finger oe’r the top of a [...]

My kids are officially crafty

Just over a week ago, we were snowed in.  It was snowy.  There was snow.

For a week we went no further than our local shop where we procured important supplies such as milk, bread, spaghetti-hoops and chocolate.  School was closed, our car was buried and it was so cold we had to bubble-wrap our kitchen [...]
