When LittleStuff took on the Vanish 30 Second Challenge
We were recently asked by Tots100 to take part in the 30 second stain challenge using new Vanish Gold Oxi Action Powder. Now anyone who knows me has probably just started laughing – I am no domestic laundry queen. I’m not. Separating whites and coloureds is about as far as my skills go – stain removal is possibly a step beyond my capabilities. Certainly instant stain removal is a skill that has thus far eluded me in...
Chiquitos Poole – Mexican food for all the family
When Chiquitos Poole offered us a voucher to review their local restaurant in Tower Park it seemed a perfect choice – the boy LOVES Mexican food! It was No.1 son’s 15th birthday a couple of weeks ago, and we wanted somewhere that was child friendly but not one of our usual haunts to take him out for a quick family celebration. When I rang to book I admit I was amused by the way the telephone was answered… *deep...

Seagate’s ‘Portable Wireless Plus’ Media Drive – perfect for travelling
I know, looks a bit… dull, doesn’t it? But stick with me – the Seagate Portable Wireless Plus Media drive is an external hard drive – with a genius twist which makes it not-dull-at-all. Yes, it has a terabyte of memory, which is HUGE – and yet it fits in the palm of your hand. And we all know (*stern bossy face*) how important it is to have an extra hard drive to back up all your essential documents, old emails...
Rosetta Stone: First Impressions
My 14yr old been trying the Rosetta Stone course for Japanese for a month now – here’s what he thinks so far: Rosetta Stone, in case you are unaware, is a language learning service which can teach you over 24 different languages! These include French, German, Japanese, Greek, and Russian. The selection is huge! I will be basing my impressions on the Japanese course. There are many different types of packages, you...
