For a Sparkling Bathroom

Advantages: cleans well, makes light work of dirt, CHEAP
Disadvantages: Leaves a smell on hands after use

...When I got to the checkout on my last shopping trip I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten to get my usual multi purpose wipes so asked hubby to go and grab a packet. Now I have been using the same brand for a very long time but for some reason hubby could not remember which ones they were and came back with these ones. I did let him off though as I did need them for the bathroom and decided I would try these instead. ~~THE PACKET~~ The wipes come in a flat packet which is very similar to a packet of baby wipes. It is blue in colour and has the product name at the top with a picture of a shiny bathroom and under this is a red rectangle which contains the claims that these wipes will remove soap scum and control the build up of lime scale. The back of the packet has a white rectangle down the left hand side which has all...

Bathroom Mousse

Advantages: Works well with a little scrubbing
Disadvantages: Use a lot at once

...I bought this on recommendation from a friend and colleague, who uses it for cleaning at work as well as at home. She said it does the job where other cleaners are just not good enough, so I promptly went out and bought some. I paid £1.05 in Tesco, which I thought was surprisingly cheap for a big name brand like Cif. Cif claim that this bathroom mousse gives brilliant results with minimum effort. You just need to spray the mousse on, leave it 5-10 minutes, and rinse it off. It's suitable for use on plastic, enamel and chrome surfaces. The mousse comes in a tall cylindrical can with a see-through lime green domes lid. The top has the usual mousse-can spray, with a button at one side of the nozzle, which you just press down and out squirts the mousse. It's really easy to use and to direct the spray where you want it. It's easy...

Review of Jif Bathroom Mousse

My Pride and Joy!

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Care needed

...oven soon wore thin! But I know the oven must be clean to work efficiently and for health reasons, so clean it, I do. I have tried sprays, pastes, scouring with soap filled pad, you name it I've bought it and tried it. We had invested in a steam cleaner a couple of years ago, so one day I was using it in the bathroom and thought, I'll try the oven next. The dirt was beginning to slide off with the powerful steam, when BANG! The glass door broke into little glass balls. I had to buy a whole new door and glass panel to replace it, so decided the steam cleaner was banished! How to keep my oven clean? It became worse over the next months and one day I read about another product called Oven pride. Not likely to be any better than all the other things sitting under the kitchen sink, but reviews recommended it, so I slipped one into...

Review of Oven Pride

I'm no scrubber I have Oven Pride

Advantages: Easy to use and reasonably priced
Disadvantages: Corrosive

...My Dads cousin came for a few days visit and last night we were all going out for a meal, so yesterday I thought it was time to clean my oven as I would not be using it to cook any tea. I had a couple of boxes of oven pride stored away in one of my cupboards that I had bought from my local Home Bargains for £2.99 a while ago so I decided it was time to give it a try and if there is one job I HATE and HATE with a passion, it is cleaning the oven but the box states "the effortless way to clean your oven and BBQ!" so an effortless way of cleaning it sounded fantastic. I opened the box and read the instructions simply put your racks in the bag, pour in the solution, wait, rinse off your racks, dispose of cleaning solution down the drain. Stop I thought, dispose of down the drain, we have a septic tank, so I rang the telephone...

How Pride and Prejudice grew on me

Advantages: Cleverly constructed, multi-layered, funny if you're used to the language
Disadvantages: Period language could be awkward to some

...Jane Austen - not exactly "forbidden fruit". Lady Chatterley - certainly. Moll Flanders - possibly. But Jane Austen? Starched cravats, tea parties and everybody calling each other "Miss Bennet" or "Mr. Gardiner" insteady of Lizzy or Edward? To my eleven-year-old self, absolutely! Costume dramas weren't really staple viewing at home when I was smaller - my parents watched Cracker instead - so I missed the 1995 BBC Pride and Prejudice serial and became quietly obsessed with reading the novel. I never studied Jane Austen at school (to my annoyance) but perhaps it's just as well - studying every little detail, identifying symbolism and deciding what role or stereotype each character represented might have ruined the book for me. Although "bright", I was too unfamiliar with period language at eleven to fully appreciate Pride and Prejudice...

Review of Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen

Disney's Pride Too

Advantages: Good storyline
Disadvantages: Songs are not as good as the first movie

...The Movie Lion King II: Simba's Pride is a sequel to the film Lion King. The storyline puts Kiara, Simba's daughter, as the main character to which the story evolves. This is a direct-to-video film so it didn't have the chance to be seen on the big screen unlike the first Lion King movie which gained much popularity and media mileage. I personally didn't even know there was a sequel until I saw the poster online. I loved the first Lion King film so I decided to watch this one. The Plot The young Kiara The movie starts with Rafiki (the old monkey) holding up a lion cub on the Pride Rock presenting it to the inhabitants of Pridelands. The cub is the child of Simba, the Lion King and Nala. The cub looks like male to me but it turns out that this lion cub is a girl named Kiara. Kiara is as adventurous as his father when...

Review of Lion King II, The: Simba's Pride (Animated) (DVD)

The Pride of Auntie

Advantages: Good story with a classic loyalty/romance/disloyalty ring.
Disadvantages: Too much 'hype' surrounded this film, in the end it turned out to be quite disappointing.

...Pride is a specially made drama which was aired on BBC 1 on bank holiday Monday Christmas 2004. It follows the adventures of a pride of lions in the Serengeti. The actors are real lions but their 'voices' are given by famous actors like Robbie Coltrane and Kate Winslet. I first heard about this drama in the Radio Times. At first I was excited about it. After all, the BBC has always made dramas for television and a lot of them are quite good even though the actors in some of them are relatively unknown. Naturally, the Radio Times described the drama as the best thing you could watch on television that evening. They even made a few side comments about Disney's classic 'The Lion King'. In an interview with the Radio Times, Helen Mirren, the actor who lent her voice to Macheeba, one of the characters said that 'The Lion King' doesn...

Pride and Prejudice (2005)

Advantages: Actors' performances, not too serious.
Disadvantages: Sometimes confusing.

...Jane Austin's famous novel 'Pride and Prejudice' is a well-known classic, and definitely a favourite of mine. So as you can imagine, when I heard a film was being made about it, I was ecstatic. The movie's brilliant acting and modern touch is combined with the excellence of Elizabeth Bennet's romantic story. Keira Knightly stars as Elizabeth, and the unsociable Mr Darcy is played by Matthew Macfadyen. .Plot. The following may contain plot spoilers, so don't read it if you want to watch the film for yourself! The film is set in a rural part of England at the start of the 19th Century, where the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, lives on a working farm. Also living with her are her four sisters; Jane, Mary, Catherine and Lydia, and her parents Mr and Mrs Bennet. When Mr Bennet dies (which will apparently be 'soon'), the farm will be...
