The Best ‘proper’ MP3 For Children – the SanDisk Clip Zip
A couple of years ago we reviewed the Sansa Clip+, which my boys use and which we loved. Well, here we are, 10 days away from driving to Paris (*squeee*) and woe of woes. Upon investigating the weird clonkety-clonk going on in the washing machine I spy, with a sinking heart, one much-loved-and-often-stashed-in-a-pocket MP3 player spinning not-very-merrily against the glass door. Nightmare. I can do nothing but wait for the cycle to...

Mother’s Day Gift – The Aqua Sana Spa. Ple-e-e-ease.
Considering I know that a day at a spa is all about relaxing, I wasn’t particularly relaxed at the idea of going to the Aqua Sana Spa at Center Parcs Whinfell. Partly because since I started working from home, I struggle to get up the enthusiasm for going anywhere at all, but mainly because I wasn’t sure of the “rules” and worried about making an arse of myself. But when I got to the spa, a nice woman showed me...
Lego 6860 – The Bat Cave. *meep*
Not to say we’re big fans of LEGO in this house, but if you look at this picture here… See those white tubs stacked up? They’re ALL full of LEGO. Oh yes. So when the Son asked for yet ANOTHER set for his birthday we may have rolled our eyes and huffed a little… but of course we gave in. Because really, there’s no other toy we’d rather buy. Nothing else has the play value, the durability, the...
Mother’s Day Gifts – Kindle Skins. *swoon*
I used to be VERY sniffy about the Kindle. Tis true, I did. Then I wavered. And succumbed. And got one for Christmas. Now? I *LOVE* it. But… tis a vay ugly thing in it’s dull grey boringness. I made a little pouch for it to protect it from the contents of my handbag, but when I’m holding it and using it… dullness. But now – would you just look at THESE? Decals for the kindle. Loads and loads and LOADS of...
Mother’s Day Gifts – Pretty Little Glass ‘Mum’ Key Ring
Back in the dim and distant past i used to collect key rings. I had a large chain in my bedroom, and I used to clip them on – I think I had over 250 at one point. Sadly, I no longer proudly display 250-odd dangly things to decorate my bunch of keys – but it did leave me with a deep-seated affection for a pretty keyring. Nothing bold and brash and obvious, but there’s always room for a little ‘pretty’ on...
