Finish QuantuMatic – the final verdict

After my last post I duly gave all the plates, dishes and glasses a good wash by hand to remove residue and cleaned out the dishwasher. I also decided to reposition the QuantuMatic device in my dishwasher, moving it slightly to one side. And hey presto, now we’re getting on like a house on fire!...

The Ultimate Book of Baby Knits – Debbie Bliss

Last year I was lucky enough to review The Knitter’s Year by Debbie Bliss and I loved it. The book still sits by my bed and every so often I flick through the gorgeous pictures – I’ve even just cast on the peg bag ready to grace my washing line in summer. So there was...

Philips Airfryer review

I was extremely excited when Philips, who hosted a wonderful Christmas lunch for some bloggers, asked if I’d like to try out their Airfryer.
