Light Strike Review

How to get a tween to say awesome, you ask him if he would like test some toys. How to get a tween to say awesome a lot, a big box arrives with said toys and you let him open it. My tween has a secret desire to be a super hero so when we were asked if he would like to try out the latest Light Strike toys by WowWee UK this was the next best thing.

Persil, can small and mighty do the job?

When I was offered Persil’s Small and Mighty to try out I was a little dubious. Having only used non-smelly washing tablets was I about to inflict days of inching on the kids and I? Would it actually deliver what it says on the bottle, small and mighty even in 30 minutes? Make the children into cart wheeling smiley children?

Only one way to find out.

Eco Suede Shoes from Natures Shop

Being on a bit of green eco path I was rather excited to try out a new pair of eco Simple Shoes from the Nature Shop. I had heard about eco shoes before and must admit I was expecting something rather flimsy and newpaper-ish to arrive in a shoe box. So to un-wrap the tissue and find eco-certified suede shoes was a bit of a surprise.

Netmums Bingo at Sky Bingo

I had my bingo wings at the ready, bingo lingo all lined up and my dabber all filled up. Online bingo off I went. The modern world has evolved and I my trusty dabber wasn’t needed as it is all automated. Bingo lingo can still be used but I didn’t feel a bit of a prat talking to the computer screen. And we won’t talk about my bingo wings.

You and Your Tween – Book Review

When Netmums asked me if I would like a read of a book about Tweens, my first reaction was why on earth would I want to read about Bella, Fizz, Jake and Milo. Even sadder is the fact that I can still remember the name of the characters. Apparently, though, Tween is the name for those years between cute, sweet smelling young age and the huffing, puffing flouncing of a teenager. I have one of those huffy puffy’s who can flounce at the drop of a hat and conversation is made up words with one syllable. My other child is though a fully fledged tween.

E Harmony Review

E Harmony attacks the online dating scene a bit differently. Instead of letting you loose on the searching and unearthing, E Harmony sends you a daily list of profiles selected for you. The idea being that you filled out all the forms and ticked the relevant boxes and they do all the matching and hard work. If you want a good old nose around then this site might not be the right one for you. They do advertise though that they help you find the real thing instead of people who are after more casual set ups.

Match.com Review

They may have annoying adverts on TV at the moment. You know the one where the girl walks into a music shop and starts playing on the keyboard and a strange young man (who in my view would benefit from a hair cut) starts joining in…I like old movies…tra la la….
