Camping tips, tricks and advice from a fairly average parent and a reformed dad blogger
Want to know what I think of stuff? From books to films, toys and games, and even the occassional gift. I should warn you: I am rubbish at reviews.
Now as you will probably have figured out by now, neither of my children are driving age yet – something I’m certainly thankful of, given their general craziness! But when they do get a little bit older and start wanting to learn to drive, you can bet your bottom dollar I’ll be a nervous wreck….
The lovely people at Money-saving site QuidCo are conducting some interesting research relating to why we love our local high street. If you (like me) thought QuidCo was an “online only” thing, you might be surprised to find out that QuidCo deals can also be done in regular, high street shops! As part of the…
As a blogger, most of my writing tends to be via a keyboard (or occassionally a touch-screen, if I’m bored on the train) – I very rarely get any time to do much handwriting these days. So, when I DO get the urge to write freehand, I like to make sure I’ve got a SUPER…
Sometimes when we discover cool new things, our first instinct can be to keep them to ourselves. We’ve all done it – “I liked them before they became big”. Whether it’s because we want them a secret so “fame” doesn’t change them, or because we want to feel like an OG fan, the temptation is…
Yes, you read that right. I got asked to review a car…! It’s not often that I feel compelled to start a blog post – much less a review – with an apology. But having been asked to test and review a CAR, it feels right to apologise. You see, I know bee little about…
As most of you will know by now, I very rarely turn down the opportunity to review a new toy – it’s basically one of the main reasons I started blogging in the first place, let’s be honest. So when the nice people at Hornby asked if we’d like to give their new ‘My First…
A couple of months ago, Sara and I decided it was about time we booked a family holiday – something we’ve not done in over a year, and which was now well overdue. Sure, we’ve done plenty of fun camping trips – and a memorable camping expedition to France last year – but we’ve not…
When the nice man from MiHome got in touch with me, promising some exciting new innovations in plug-socket technology, I was hesitant. Whilst our home is chock-full of electrical items, I was pretty sure that if you’ve seen one plug, you’ve seen them all. Okay, so maybe I’m exaggerating for effect here – he actually…
My kids are already big fans of Hot Wheels, so when the folks at Mattel asked if they could send us their newest track-set to test out – along with a t-shirt from the new Hot Wheels collection – my boys jumped at the chance! The ‘Super Speed Blastway’ (I don’t know who comes up…
As you’ve probably guessed from the title, I’m about to have a rant. And not just a “Henry woke up on the wrong side of the bed” type of rant – this is one of those rants that is likely to get me blacklisted by just about every entertainment brand out there, forever highlighted in…
