Have you got an old-fashioned Cassette player for your child? Pre-Christmas Shopping
Any child of the 70’s or 80’s will remember these… Oh the hours I’d spend, recording songs off the radio, wearing out tapes as I hit pause/play/pause/play line by line so that I could write down all the lyrics to Rick Astley.

Lots of girls have lovely skin that experiences episodes of extra-oiliness and breakouts during their teens and twenties. In their quest for effortlessly blemish-free skin,...
Bestest Christmas Gift Guide – a great smartphone for luddites (and teens), theVodafone 858 Smart. *sigh*
The biggest boy of mine – 12 now – has been *yearning* for an iPhone since he started High School. *YEARNS* for one, he does. Dream on, kiddo. But Christmas approaches, and his list looks something like this: iPhone iPhone iPhone iPhone iPod iPhone I sensed that something must be done. Which is where those nice people at Vodafone stepped in, and sent him one of these babies to try out (not to keep, mind. they’re not...
