Review: JUST EAT

Review: JUST EAT

One rule we have in our family is that we sit down and eat together as often as possible – every meal at the weekend and as many times during the week as we can. As with all families, we have a hectic schedule with numerous after school clubs, parties and irregular working hours, but...
Review: Cooking with the Nexus 7

Review: Cooking with the Nexus 7

It will come as no surprise to you that I spend quite a lot of time in the kitchen! Far too much of that time is spent baking and I have amassed quite a cookery book collection to feed my habit. But as much as I like looking through books (and yes, I often take...
Flavrbox review

Flavrbox review

When I discovered Flavrbox on twitter I was really excited – really, properly excited! So I was beyond excited when they asked if I’d like to try one of their boxes. For those of you who haven’t heard of them, Flavrbox put together a monthly tasting box containing products from some fabulous UK producers, which...
Tots100 Film Club - Scooby Doo

Tots100 Film Club – Scooby Doo

When I saw that Scooby-Doo! Laff-A-Lympics: Spooky Games was one of the films on the Tots100 Film Club list last month, I immediately knew I had to choose it! Grace and Faith are massive Scooby Doo fans and often rush downstairs in the morning to cram in an episode before we get up! As the title suggests, Scooby...
Tots100 Film Club - The Secret of Moonacre

Tots100 Film Club – The Secret of Moonacre

 Last month for the Tots100 Film Club we chose to review The Secret of Moonacre. I have to say, it wasn’t a film I’d heard of before but it sounded like the sort of film the girls would like and I’m always in favour of them trying out new things. When the girls are watching...
Cartmel Puddings

Cartmel Puddings

It’s certainly no secret that I like a good pudding. If I’m eating out then I’ll often choose my main carefully so I still have room for pudding – because that is the best bit! So there was no way I was going to turn down the offer of pudding to review, especially when it...

One Day - book review

One Day – book review

Crazy I know, but I’ve read something that isn’t a cook book! It dawned on me recently that I wasn’t making enough time to read and I missed that. For my birthday, Dale got me a kindle and I have read loads since then – I absolutely love it! But before that, Tesco Books blog...
HOP DVD

HOP DVD

Last week Grace and I were very excited to be invited to a special screening of the DVD Hop, which was released on DVD and Blu-ray yesterday (29th August). Firstly, we were looking forward to seeing the film as it wasn’t one we’d seen before and secondly, we were itching to go because the screening...

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!...

Finish QuantuMatic – the first few washes

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am one of the 10 bloggers who make up the Finish QuantuMatic Jury. We have been asked to try out the dishwasher product and write up our thoughts and experiences with it. I have used the QuantuMatic for my first few loads of dirty dishes so I’ll...

Finish QuantuMatic Jury

Over the next few weeks, along with 9 other bloggers, I will be taking part in a trial for Finish QuantuMatic. I’ve never been part of a Jury before so it’s quite exciting! They have sent me one of their starter packs to try out in my dishwasher, putting it to the test with the...
