Asus ZenPad 3S 10 review
We’ve been working with ASUS, trying out some of their latest tech in a family setting, to see if we can work out from a baffling array of options which is best for which job in the house. This week my gaze turned to the Asus ZenPad 3S 10 review – which was snaffled swiftly away by the 14yr old, and borrowed heavily when his back is turned by the 10yr old. They’ve been so busy with it that I’d barely had a...
Spotted! Lakeland Heavy Duty Oven Glove under £5!
Come on – we’ve all done it. Kept the oven gloves a bit too long, or ignored the Heavy Duty Oven Glove to buy the cheaper ones because they were pretty. Then taken a big heavy baking dish out of the oven, got halfway to the counter and started yelping as the heat begins to seep through. Just this week I did this exact “ow. OW! Ow owowOW OW OW!” yelping dance as I flung the roasting tin at the top of the cooker,...
Win a beautifully personal £140 Silver Locket for Mother’s Day
When we got married, budgets were running low (as they tend to do when weddings are in the planning) and I admit one of the last things on our to do list was ‘rings’. I know, I know, this thing was going to be decorating my hand for a very long time, and I maybe should have thought a little more about it. But actually, all I wanted was something simple and solid. One trip to a local jeweller, and we found two plain gold...
Honestly? I didn’t get it (or the Asus ZenBook Flip Review )
When Asus sent me the ZenBook Flip (the UX360CA model, for those to whom the extra letters matter) I’ll be honest. I didn’t really get it.Oh, don’t get me wrong, I know why I love my tablet. I also know why I need a laptop. But a hybrid laptop? Why do I need something that can’t make up its mind (*whispers* and probably therefore ends up doing neither properly)? On unpacking I was actually surprised...
Oooh – bargain scarves! Joules have 25% off in their winter sale!
Come on, we ALL Love a scarf. No matter what you’re wearing or where you’re going, no matter what your body size or how bad your hair day, a scarf makes things better. Thin summer scarves can be picked up for a song all year round, but really good, soft, warm-but-not-drowning you winter scarves will often dent the pocket a little. So when I spotted that Joules have a cheeky 25% off some of their remaining winter range, I...
Heads Up! Glorious New Girls Kickers Are In!
It’s no secret we’re HUGE fans of Kickers – not only am I a big fan from back in the 80’s, but this is my girl modelling her first pair SEVEN years ago. We’ve been fans of Kickers as solidly reliable kids shoes ever since – they’re school shoes which are tough enough to withstand the roughest playground, but stylish enough to keep fashion-conscious tweens oh-so-happy. But even I, with my...
