George at ASDA Ladies Sportswear – It’s properly good!

Following on from our recent Top 5 Fitness Tips from an (ex) Couch Potato, George at ASDA thought I might like to try out some of the sportswear in their amazing value range. So they sent me some. And I tried it on. And I loved it! Honestly, it’s properly great. I’ve tried a variety of items: This Sports Top is a fab stretchy fabric which is perfect for any activity – I love it for cycling in cold weather, it keeps...

Beautiful Evening Lace Wrap Dress for Tall Women

Woot; bring on Burns Night! Thanks to Long Tall Sally, I’ll be shaking a country-dancing leg in style. The Lace Wrap Dress is properly stunning, and I feel amazing in it. This was just me having a quick try-on, I’ve not even any face or hair on yet, and I’m ready to party! I’m not one that’s usually keen on a figure-hugging silhouette – even in my new slimlined version I’d rather there was...

Shiny RISSH Shoes. For Men! *swoons* #ChristmasGiftGuide

The LeapPad 3 Review

We received the LeapPad 3 tablet just before going on holiday, which was perfect timing since I’d been looking for something to distract 5-year-old Joe during the flight (leaving me to drink wine and read a book in peace). It took me a little while to set up on the LeapPad on the website (although this wouldn’t be a problem if you already have an account) but once it was done, it was easy to download apps – you can do it...

The new Glow Pets | Christmas Gift Guide

Last Christmas, Jolly found a total bargain, and snapped up a Pillow Pet for his little sister in a sale. She’d seen them on TV and coo-ed over them, and he just knew she’d love it. And she did. But none of us relaised quite how much she would love it. I’ve not been able to get her to sleep on a  pillow for a year now…. The only thing she sleeps on is her unicorn Pillow Pet. So when she saw the new version, the...
