Pink Custard Recipe – 80s School Dinners Recipes
Hands up who’s here for the real genuine 80s school dinners pink custard recipe! What was it with pink custard? Lusciously gorgeous in colour and texture and comfort factor – and universally adored. Pink custard just made any school dinners pudding a real treat, no? Remember the sponge squares with a thin layer of jam and coconut on top? Or fudge tart squares (produced further to mucho requests from cornflake tart eaters)?...
Lego Brickmaster Books. Woot. Woot.
That little lego brickmaster set there (books which have all the bricks you need to build the 30-odd models detailed inside) is fabulous. Really, honestly quite a stroke of genius. A book – AND lego. Genius. And you get BOTH books in one box for just £20. If you’re the proud owner of any kind of small lego fan, you’ll know JUST how good value that is. They do contain the all-important figures, most necessary for any...
Chocolate Rice Krispie Cakes Recipe – remember these?

Best of all, they are also a classic cook-with-children recipe; easy and fun to make and always a favourite to eat!

Also, if you’re looking for a birthday or christening gift, perhaps one of these personalised...
Hauck’s Dream’n Play Travel Cot
On receiving the travel cot it was already on to a winner for just being block colour in design and not having any generic disney images of winnie the pooh or a rubbish picture of a giraffe on it! Score! Why must all baby equipment have ‘stuff’ scrawled on it? Bleurgh! The pale pastel colours are sweet, although plane black would be perfection too be honest or even single primary colours. Now, in terms of putting the thing...
Filofax – retro, but still good?
I was thrilled to receive this beast of a filofax to review; I haven’t used a filofax since I was 18, at university, and Princess Di was wearing her blue blazers and faded jeans. I honestly thought the brand had been really locked into the 80s and felt it no longer held any relevance to me. But – I’ll admit it. I have been very pleasantly surprised! Firstly – have you SEEN the styles available? Gorgeous they are!...
