Blurb Books: 20% discount code if you’re quick! Christmas Gift Guide
Do you use Blurb Books? I love them. Every year I create my in-laws an album of everything we’ve done during the year – they live nearly 200 miles away, and don’t see the children anywhere near as often as we’d like. So to replace all those Grandparenty-photos they don’t get to take by being out and about with us, the children choose all their favourites from the year to create a book for Gangy &...
Roast Lifting Forks – Pre-Christmas Shopping!
Every year it’s a problem. We have a HUGE turkey – a 20lb-er – and turning it mid-morning is a serious operation, with myself, my husband and my Mother-In-Law all helping. And an oven really isn’t big enough for three sets of hands. We’ll not talk about the year it got dropped. (or the fact that my oven gloves are always RUINED with hot soggy oily turkey juices once it’s accomplished) But not this...
Mighty Mug (anyone with a desk NEEDS this mug. Powered by magic it is)
So far this year I have killed a keyboard, a mouse, a Wacom Pen Tablet (*cries* that was an expensive death) and countless pieces of Very Important paperwork.How? Coffee. I know, I admit it.I. Am. Clumsy. Having a mug of coffee on my desk is like an open invitation for a hot brown liquid lake to launch itself at the nearest Important Thing. If it’s connected to an electrical supply? So much the better. So imagine my glee when I...
The awesome SleepPhones. Yes, they’re exactly like pyjamas for your ears – Christmas Gift Guide.
These. Are. Genius. Utterly utterly genius. All my children love to listen to audio books at bedtime – music too, for the teens. But if there’s one thing that’s a pain in the neck (well, ears anyway) it’s wearing headphones in bed, no? Lying anyway by flat on your back is uncomfortable, and even then the positioning is tricky – and if you move, they slip and you’ve lost the lovely waves of sound...
The Socks (No, really, stay with me. He’ll love this) – Christmas Gift Guide
I know what you’re thinking. Socks. REALLY? But for a joke I got this exact Drawer Filler ‘sock hamper’ for my husband last year. Possibly one of the Best Presents Ever. There are so many that you can’t help but laugh when you open them – and the socks are fabulous! Really good Jeep socks, and a whole range of types from thick woolly wellie socks down to thin black dress socks. It’s a perfect...
The One Where I Speak To The Personal Trainer. *Meep*
As I said after I spoke to the Parenting coach, when E.ON got in touch recently to see if I’d like to take part in an exciting new project they’re running, I jumped at the chance. They have teamed up with a few bloggers to try out specific coaching sessions on Energy, Lifestyle, Parenting and Nutrition/Fitness. Focused on helping people use ‘no more than they need’, they’re looking at helping people to take a look at all aspects of...
