De-lightful and stunning venue!

Advantages: Excellent service, beautiful grounds, superb accommodation
Disadvantages: Not close to public transport access

...excellent. One of our friends had the Thetford pork loin, one had the organic salmon, and three of us opted for the carvery which on weekends you had to have two courses, but given the selection of starters and desserts was no real trial! - We naturally went for the dessert option! We also had drinks and a couple bottles of wine - No-one in our group could fault the quality and service, especially when the member of waiting staff overheard us wishing our friend happy birthday - She asked if we would like some balloons - and a few minutes later came back with a bunch all ribboned and weighted! You can see the full selection of menus offered at Dunston Hall if you go to the De Vere website. After lunch we took and gentle stroll in the grounds, and were able to view parts of the golf course that are part of the complex. As we were only...

Delonghi EC330S Espresso Machine

Advantages: well priced, very easy to use
Disadvantages: steam arm is temperamental

...I bought the Delonghi EC330S after realising I was slowly emptying my bank account paying for numerous Starbucks' every week (even more after they opened one a two minute walk from my flat). Definite plus point in its appearance, it looks stylish and fits in well in modern kitchens especially. It does make good coffee, and although you need to warm the machine up, once you're used to doing this it really isn't a hassle. Although the previous reviewer recommended stocking up on pods, I would advise anyone to either buy coffee beans and a grinder or buy fresh coffee ground for espresso machines, as pods don't really make the most of having a machine such as this. A disadvantage of having this product are the steam arm is very temperamental and sometimes just doesn't emit much steam (despite being thoroughly cleaned). Also, if...

CHANEL CHANCE EAU DE PARFUM SPRAY

Advantages: It lasts all day and you only need a few squirts.
Disadvantages: I have no Disadvantages for this product

...CHANEL CHANCE EAU DE PARFUM SPRAY is one of the most beautifulness Fragrances I have ever come across! This Perfume has a delicate Floral, Fruity, Sweet scent. It is also very refreshing on your skin. If you are looking for a perfume that will last all day, then I highly recommend this Fragrance. It is great for a night out. Another great thing about this Perfume is that you only need a few squirts and you don?t need to keep applying it again and again through out the day. I purchased this Perfume from Boots for £59.00 for a 50ml bottle, which has lasted me for almost 6 months. I feel that the £59.00 is a good price to pay for a perfume which has lasted for so long. I have spent over £60 previously during a 6 month period trying to find a Perfume that has a great scent and that actually lasts on my skin. So if you want to treat...

The Delonghi EC330S will save you a fortune on cappuccinos

Advantages: Easy to use, inexpensive to maintain, compact
Disadvantages: Not for design snobs

...It seemed indulgent to spend money on a cappuccino maker until I worked out how much it was costing me to buy from my local cofee shop. I can't function without a lot of coffee when I get up and if, like me you live in London, 2 cups a day can add up to nearly £5. It doesn't sound much untill you add it up. I bought a secondhand model and it's brilliant. I thought it might be a false economy to get a used one but I've never regretted it. It makes great cappuccino. It took me a couple of weeks to get the hang of it but I'm not great with machinery. Now it's really easy to use and it's low maintenance. I've had mine for over a year and it's been trouble-free. Delonghi recommends that you descale after every 200 cups. Mine gets a lot of use so that works out at about every three months. It's cheap and easy to do. My other worry was...

De blob

Advantages: fun
Disadvantages: none

...De Blob I wanted this game when I first seen it advertise and I got a nice surprise when my friend bought me it. ~ About the Game ~ This wii game is great for all ages , The aim of the game is to paint the town due to the inkies turning everything into black and white , you have to put colour back into the world , you collect paint pots and start painting the buildings. There are also challenges you have to complete so you can move on to the next level but you have a time limit so watch out! There are 3 colours of paint pots , Yellow , Blue and Red - you have to use these to mix colours. The wii control is used in different ways to make the blob move and jump around' ~ Graphics ~ I think that the graphics are not bad for a wii game it at all. ~ Disadvantages ~ you can't always find the gate at the end of the level in time and you have...

Christina Aguilera Eau De Parfum

Advantages: A nice scent for day-wear
Disadvantages: Too weak for evening wear

...and therefore covered a large area with only a couple of sprays and therefore didn't feel too heavy on the skin either. I found this scent very suitable for daywear as the scent was evident but not too strong or overpowering. It had quite a good staying power too and I could still smell it on my skin a good few hours after application which impressed me. This was a little soft for evening wear in my opinion, so I would probably keep it for general day to day wear. Price wise, this is far cheaper than many celebrity perfumes on the market. You can get a 15ml gift set for around £9.99, a 30ml bottle of perfume for £12.99 and a 75ml bottle for £37.00, which I don't think is too bad as it will last you a while. This perfume is generally aimed at 15-25 year olds and you can get the eau de parfum, body lotion, shower gel and deodorant in the set...

Review of Christina Aguilera - Eau de Parfum Spray

Eau de Kittyfluff

Advantages: Smells so darkly sexy!
Disadvantages: The bottle weighs a tonne..

...Now I am a fussy girlie when it comes to buying perfume. It has to be expensive, it has to be an eau de parfum, and you have to be able to smell me coming a mile away. I love dark, musky scents with hints of Indian Spice and incense. I just can't abide by fresh,fruity rubbish. I don't wish to smell like a bowl of pot pourri or a magic tree car air freshner. I discovered this particular fragrance whilst shopping just before Christmas with my beloved Mr Fluff. Who was at the time sweating his nads off trying to think of what to buy his little fluffball. This was when I found one of those open style perfumeries. The girl looked a little bored, so I told her what kind of things I liked and then made her run around spraying endless testers on to those little card sniffy things.I think she was quite incensed by the fact that I told her...

De la Warr Pavilion

Advantages: Probably one of the most impressive pieces of seaside architecture I have seen
Disadvantages: None

...Perhaps most famous for being the inspiration for the Warmington on Sea of Dad's Army, Bexhill on Sea holds a far more exciting secret. The gleaming white De La Warr Pavilion is a modernist icon and is claimed to be the first modernist public building in Britain. Set right on the coast, fantastic and slightly surreal expanses of blue sea and sky,, set against pure white stone gazebos and landscaped gardens, make the Pavilion a really special place to visit. ~~The Building~~ Seventy years ago the Pavilion's architect, Erich Mendelsohn, dubbed the sleek, streamlined form of the pavilion a "horizontal skyscraper" , and this gives you an idea of the size of the building. For me it is the simplicity of the design that gives it such beauty, together with the space and lack of architectural clutter around it. The building has a beautiful...
