Saving time, saving money. Is there really anyone who doesn’t need more of either?
As you know we’ve been working with E.ON on a series of interesting features – not just about saving the energy within your home, but saving the energy with YOU. Which is just as important. We’re all too busy making it through the week, aren’t we? There’s never a time when you actually strike the last thing off the To Do List, look around and think “oh, everything’s done! I think I’ll go...
New Competition! Win a Pogo Stick from Skate Hut
Skateboards. Scooters. Skates. And, yes, pogo sticks too. Of such things a wild and exciting childhood is made. Who can forget that wild and fearless feeling the first time you’re riding something that goes faster than you can run? You’re not convinced you can turn it, you’re pretty darn sure you can’t stop it… but you don’t really care. It’s going f-a-a-a-a-st. I had a big yellow metal...
New Competition – Win a MONSTER bundle of books for your 7 year-olds from Letts
We have a fun and friendly monster treat in store for your 7 year-olds! As new Home Ed-ders, we’ve been hunting for fun ways of engaging the younger (rather disengaged) two with the core basics. Maths lessons? No thanks, says the 7 year-old. Not. At. All. But – we did find that handing her a book full of Monsters and silly cartoons (plus the all-important gold stickers), and she’d happily while away an hour, not...
Tuff-Luv iPad Air case. Makers of Seriously Good Tablet Cases.
When Netflix sent through the iPad Air, my very first thought was… actually it wasn’t. My very first thought was “EeeEEEEKKK!” But my very second thought was “I need a really good cover for this, or I will break it inside the next 9 days”. And then I added a subthought, too “Oh please let me be able to find a nice pretty cover” So when I got an email asking if I’d like to review...
New Competition – Win £200 BHS gift card to spend in any department of the store!
The sun is shining, and the windows are flung wide – the world is definitely feeling Springy. But all that glorious sunlight flowing into the house has a definite downside; yes, you know I can see you grimy windows and dusty surfaces. And grey skirting boards. And grubby carpet edges. And oh those dusty lampshades… *shamed face* So. It’s time for a spring clean. Which sounds an Evil Thing when you look around, but...
Easter Holidays – Family Movie Nights!
As we approach the Easter weekend, we’re not planning any Grand Days Out. Oh no – we try and steer clear of those on Bank Holidays – we’re not so good at roiling crowds of people. No we’re far more likely to be found pottering at home while everyone else is out playing; we’ll take advantage of having the place to ourselves once they’re back at school. So Easter for us is usually about family...
