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...
Science Museum – The Time-Eating Clock Exhibition
I saw this on the BBC Breakfast news this morning and my first thought was how beautiful it is, my second thought was “what IS it?!”. The Midsummer Chronophage Clock is one of two clocks in the world to show the experience of relative time. Developed by British inventor Dr John C Taylor, the clock is inspired by the idea that everyone experiences time differently. Walking atop the 1.5 metre golden clock face is a large...
Funniest Car Review you’ll ever read – The Skoda Yeti Review
Remember our Carless Whispers column from Keris? Well, she’s not been officially ‘carless’ for a few weeks, thanks to those magically marvellous people at Skoda who decided to loan her a car. They didn’t ask for a review of the Skoda Yeti they sent her – they asked for no recognition at all in fact. Did I mention how much we love the Skoda PR team? But Keris felt obliged to let them know what she thinks....
Carless Whispers – In Which Keris Swears (probably).
So last week I was all smug. Smug about how cool Harry’s been with the whole carless thing, rather than actually being smug about being carless, but still. This week… not so much. We’ve been lucky for a few weeks in that it hasn’t rained a lot – it’s been absolutely freezing, which has its own challenges (Joe refuses to wear gloves, but then cries because his hands are cold) – but cold trumps wet...
