Fiat 500 review – a family car?
The awfully-lovely people at Fiat saw Keris’ Carless whispers column, and spotted that she had always yearned for a Fiat 500… and really rather sweetly asked her if she’s like to try one out for a couple of weeks. Well, she wasn’t about to say no, was she? One of the first songs I can remember learning at school was called “Hey, Topolini!” I don’t remember much of how it went (“Hey,...
Fathers Day – got a gift sorted? They did more for Mothers Day – fact.
New research from the UK’s leading discount website has revealed that father’s day gift searches were less than half of those made for mother’s day presents. The site statistics, from www.MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, revealed that searches made for mother’s day gifts on site were 109% higher than the number of searches made for father’s day gifts in the weeks leading up to the event. The suggestion from the research is that ‘mothers...

Thinking Slimmer with the Slimpod
Hmm. Now. We don’t DO diets here on LittleStuff. No we do NOT. But. This isn’t a diet. And the more I read about the slimpod range, the keener I was to try it. So. Here goes. I’m not going to tell you how much I have to lose. I’m not utterly foolish. But I will tell you I want to drop *whispers* FOUR dress sizes. So if you want to have a look and see for yourself what it’s all about, head over to Thinking...
Carless Whispers – In Which Keris Contemplates Car Ownership
Now that there’s a possibility of us getting a car in the near(ish) future, I’m flip-flopping. I definitely thing the benefits of being carless have outweighed the drawbacks. Possibly. Most of the time anyway. On the plus side, there’s the exercise we’re all getting; the extra time that I spend with the boys, chatting about our day, spotting things on the canal – in fact, just to think we never would have...
Carless Whispers – In Which Keris’ Car Is Gone. Again.
So. Where was I? Oh yes, I was smug about how brilliantly we were managing without a car. Then I was whinging about how bloody awful it was not having a car. And then Skoda loaned us a car. For six weeks. And it was completely brilliant. But of course it had to go back and I was very brave. My boys, however, were less than impressed. Harry shed a tear, while Joe was furious, shouting “No! NO!” at the poor man who’d...
