The Boots App. Unexpectedly it’s SO handy!
When Boots got in touch and asked me to review their app I admit I was about “um… yes… but i’m not sure you want me to. I just don’t really DO shopping on my phone”. But I agreed to give it a go, and duly downloaded the Boots App (I’m on android, but it’s available in the App store for iPads/iPhones too). There are a few permissions you need to grant – nothing that caused me undue...
It’s the LittleStuff #GoProAdventures Show. Careful. This camera may change your life.
A few weeks ago we were invited by GoPro to take part in a blogger’s challenge. Five families were invited; all working to complete a set of ten challenges using their new GoPro kit. And the winner? Oh, they get to go to the GoPro Mountain Games in Colorado next summer… *squeak* We’re a pretty outdoors kind of family anyway; we spend as much time as we possibly can clambering up far-too-high hills and mountains to...
Now THIS is a tablet… Asus Transformer Pad TF701T
This is the latest in ASUS’s tablet/laptop mashup, with the tablet having a detachable keyboard dock (with a second battery and extra ports). Naturally, as I do with the more serious tech reviews, after a quick peer and play I handed it straight over to the 15yr old gamer to put it through a far more rigorous test than my own Facebook/Hootsuite/Frozen Freefall would accomplish. Here’s what he had to say: We’ve reviewed...
The Samsung American Showcase Fridge Freezer. We’re a bit in love.
We were recently asked to review the samsung American Showcase Fridge Freezer for ao.com – and actually we had to think long and hard before we said yes. Because this is one HUGE fridge – and having it in our kitchen meant a total redesign of our space! In the ned we opted to place it in our utility room – although it’s not as convenient as having the fridge right in the kitchen, it is only 10 steps away (and...
Review – all the Tumble Dryer a large family needs.
It’s no secret that I have a beeyootiful and huge 10kg LG washing machine. And three years on it’s still in daily use. But what do you do with all that washing when the weather is the way it has been this year?I hate hate hate having damp washing sitting around the house – we won’t put the heating on for another month or so yet, so washing takes an age to dry at this time of year when it’s damp outside....
Netflix Stream Team – what do you watch when you have the screen to yourself?
It’s a rare thing these days, having the screen to myself. As the children grow through their teens they’re obviously up later in the evening, they start to want to watch what we’re watching, and though the number of people living here hasn’t changed for 7 years, it feels like the house is just fuller of people as they get older. So screen time Just For Me is a rare and precious thing. If I do find myself with...
