Top family-friendly washing machines
There are certain key things a family needs to look for in a washing machine. Obviously price plays an important role, as families have a million and one other things to pay for and don’t want to fork out hundred of pounds on washing machines. But there are more things to consider beside price; the capacity needs to be large; it needs to have a quick wash facility and a high energy-efficiency rating is also beneficial as this helps...
Magnetic Poetry for children (and me… *cough*)
I admit it. I find a very simple pleasure and a huge amount of fun in re-arranging words on the fridge to make silly, rude or ridiculous sentences. Thankfully, I have a family if similarly easily-amused minds, so a trip to the kitchen is never complete without a quick glance to see what someone has created (or said about their brother’s bottom).

Felt tips that really do wash out. Bic Kids – have you been converted yet?
As any parent knows (or very quickly learns) there are some things you just don’t cut corners on. And felt tips are one of the high things on my Only-Buy-This-Brand list. I’ve been buying them for 12 years now, and only one brand will cross my threshold, as it’s the ONE brand I can guarantee really will wash out of nice tops, pale skirts and dining room chair seats when it says it will (except for green. Why oh why is the green...
