Review: Clarks Shoes.

January 20, 2014 by

We were recently given the opportunity to review the service at Clarks in exchange for a voucher towards shoes; Bene, owner of the fastest growing feet in history, got lucky, since he was the person currently poking through the ends of his shoes so off we went, pausing along the way for a variety of […]

Calm among storms.

January 19, 2014 by

The run up to Christmas is always hectic here, it comes with the toy shop ownership territory. We looked forward to the Xmas break but for the very best of reasons, it was never going to be. Christmas, visitors, a wedding, decorating – it all added up to a holiday that passed by very quickly […]

Review: how healthy am I?

January 7, 2014 by

New Year brings about aspirations and goal setting for many of us. I imagine that I am far from alone in my habitual list – lose weight, write more, be more creative, get fit, spend more time with the kids… this time next year Rodney…. One of my happiest thoughts this new year is that […]

Review: Beaverbrooks Jewellers -a moment to spoil myself.

January 4, 2014 by

One thing being a busy mum has not left me with, is much time to pamper myself or make myself look lovely. I know plenty of people manage it, but given a choice between make up, clothes and bling or 5 more minutes in bed on Animal Crossing, I’m all about the duvet and virtual […]

Mattessons Double Dipper Review – Quick Snacks for Busy Families

December 5, 2013 by

We were recently asked to review a set of new quick snacks, the Mattessons Double Dipper range. If there is one thing we are, it’s a busy family and we rely quite a lot on quick snacks as the girls have to eat between school and gym and have tea at gym too. By the […]

Review: Dinosaurs in SPace Zu3D Animation Kit

December 1, 2013 by

We’ve reviewed a Zu3D animation kit before and had an absolute ball with it; it has remained a popular piece of kit, even though time to actually do animating seems to have dwindled to nothing these days. 🙁 Maddy absolutely adored it then and Josie, who is the most inclined to spend time on such […]

Review: Top CashBack Shopping Bonus Website.

November 30, 2013 by

When you lead an insanely busy life, which we do, you can be guilty of not taking the time to find out more about some of the things that people tell you about; I’ve seen people refer to Top CashBack an awful lot over the years but somehow I’ve never quite found the time to […]

Review: Rakuten's Play.com Online Shopping Experience

November 21, 2013 by

I’m sort of quite a big fan of Rakuten’s Play.com. I say sort of, because I never really remember to actually use it which is annoying because as well as being a fan, I approve of them too. I approve of any selling platform which attempts to find its feet against the world dominating corporations […]

Review: trying Gluten Free Ready Meals by Ilumi.

November 12, 2013 by

A while ago we were offered the chance to try out some foods especially for allergy sufferers. My little niece had just been diagnosed as Coeliac, a condition that takes gluten avoidance to a whole level above what most people with gluten intolerances have to cope with. So I asked Ilumi to send some to […]
