Chicken Run – 10 surprising things I never knew about chickens
So we’ve had The LittleStuff Four for over a month now – and we’ve accidentally settled into a chicken-keeping routine. Every morning I’m up first, and I potter down to the coop while the kettle is on the boil and let them out for the day. Blue always accompanies me, and presses her nose to the wire at eye level to the top of the ladder to watch them as they come out (always in the same order, though...
Our Halloween Crafts – costumes for soft toys. Yes Really. #BostikBlogger
We kept things simple this year – Bear is always keen to do crafts, but it’s rare we have time in a week for a big long craft session. So I find that we end up doing more if we keep things quick and simple – if I know we’ll be done in 30 minutes, I;m less reluctant to start getting all the craft stuff out of it’s various ooks and crannies (roll on the new craft table. One week to go!). So we started off...
Dear Parents, Even Your Non-Gamer Teens Need A Gaming Laptop
You may of course own a Gamer Teen like me – one who has been wailing for months that she neeeeds a new PC (but seriously – where are you going to PUT one?). Or your teen (and you) may think Steam is simply what makes creases come out of clothes (and concentrated-chicken-poo-dog-sick come out of the carpet…).Either way, they Need A Gaming Laptop. So we need to make a few things clear. Firstly – Gen Z teens NEED...
Element Gaming Headset Xenon 700 Review
Third in our series of Brilliant Value Gaming Gear is the Element Gaming Headset Xenon 700 review. We’re pretty well in love with Element by now – the Thorium Keyboard is a stonkingly good bit of kit, and the Iridium Gaming Mouse is a no-brainer at under £23 from Ebuyer. And so with high expectations we come to their top-of-the-range gaming headset, the Xenon 700. With a design borrowed heavily from Razer’s...
The Person Controller – David Baddiel’s most excellent new children’s book
When I was asked if I’d like to give away a copy of The Person Controller, I’ll admit I didn’t leap about. I mean I really like David Baddiel – when he’s nattering aimlessly away with Frank Skinner. But I’ve never read any of his books (sorry Mr Baddiel…), so I really didn’t know if his latest offering would be up to much. (what? Look, LittleStuff is nothing if it’s not honest) So...
Win a £210 Kauffmann Winter Special Down Single Duvet? Yes please #WinterISComing
It’s October now. HOW did that happen quite so fast? I swear, I just nipped down to make a pot of coffee, and when I came back to the office a whole month had slipped past. So when DownDuvet got in touch and asked if you might be keen to win a Kauffmann Winter Special duvet, I might have jumped up so hard I hit my head on the ceiling (Ow.) Because Winter IS Coming (thanks Jon – see, you DO know something), and there is...
