At last, a decent can opener

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Inadequate instructions

...Three different can openers that I'd bought recently turned out to be useless. One's cutting tip was blunt before I had used it on a dozen cans; the second punctured the lid with a few holes but did not cut it properly; the third kept sliding off the lid, cutting my hand instead. Imagine my frustration. I began to appreciate why people buy electric can openers, a gadget I'd previously dismissed as a waste of money and energy. However, when I was a child, my family used a manual tin opener that worked properly, had worked for a decade before I was born, and was still in use a decade after I left home. So I knew that decent tin openers can be made, although I wondered if anybody made them anymore. I was filling in my online shopping order at Tesco's when the thought came to me that they might have a decent can opener in their...

Bottle on the Go!!!

Advantages: sooo handy when out and about
Disadvantages: none

...Thermos Baby Bottle Warmer by Fisher Price I love to be out and about with Jack and I think lots of fresh air helps him have a much better nights sleep. I am especially trying t walk off all that excess baby weight that I have put on but I have been finding feeding fairly difficult if I am just out for a walk. It is not too bad doing a feed if I have gone out to a restaurant or somewhere where they can give me a jug of boiling water so I can drop his bottle in but if I am out walking and he gets hungry then I was really stuck for what to do until that is I came across this thermos flask. I was browsing items on Amazon that I could spend some vouchers that I had received and that is when I came across this. Fisher price have made a thermos flask that is pretty much the same as any thermos you would usually get but instead...

Miracle bottles

Advantages: No wind, no ear infections, no colic, teats don't collapse, doesn't contain Bisphenol A
Disadvantages: Bit of a hassle to clean, the price

...Now I must start this by saying I never had a particularly colicky baby to start with but I still think these are brilliant. After messing my baby about considerably; breast, bottle, orthadentic teats, normal teats, dummies etc I took the plunge and bought these. My baby is very adaptable and never bothers how she is getting her milk or what from as long as she is getting it. I mix fed her from the beginning and was using disposable orthadentic teats. This was very handy but once she was on bottles full time it was too expensive to continue. So i bought some normal teats but these kept collapsing as she sucks so hard and the amount of bubbles going back into the milk really bothered me. Also because the teats were collapsing I had to keep taking them out of her mouth and upsetting her. So anyway, getting to the point, I was in...

Avent Bottles

Advantages: Look like a bottle
Disadvantages: Can leak

...In my opinion Avent bottles look like a bottle should and have excellent wear and tear value. I prefer the look of the Avent bottle compare to the tommie tippie (closer to nature) bottles as the tommie tippie teats look too natural and I am sure thats the point but I like a bottle to look like a bottle. The Avent bottle wash well in the dishwasher, however you might not want to wash them with plates or saucepans that have just cooked Bolognese or curry as they do stain the color of the teats and lids. They can leak from time to time, so make sure before you set off that you check it first otherwise you might end up with milk all over the place. These bottle also work really well with the Avent pump. Just screw on and go. The teats also come in different sizes for thicker liquids or hungrier babies. These are not cheap at around £4...

Review of Avent Feeding Bottles

Bottle Rocket

Advantages: Good dialogue, good acting, interesting story
Disadvantages: Is a bit of a slow moving story

...Seeing how I think I did ok reviewing another of Wes Andersons movies I figured I might as well have a go at reviewing the others I've seen as well, so I figured I'd start with Bottle Rocket, as thats the first film that Wes directed and its also the first film that Owen and Luke Wilson and Bob Musgrave starred in too, the start of good things to come! This movie I believe was written while Owen (and Luke(?)) and Wes were at university together in Texas in the 1990s and is now seen as a cult comedy hit. Bottle Rocket is all about three friends who team up to escape their boring lifes and pursuit a life of petty crime. This eventually leads to the local criminal 'head honcho' who's played by James Caan, spotting them and convincing them to carry out a large heist - but is it too much for them to handle and will they get away with it...

Review of Bottle Rocket (DVD)

dr browns bottles ????

Advantages: great for wind and colic
Disadvantages: leak, scratch and to many parts to it

...in my experience with dr browns bottles they are great for preventing wind and colic but they have a few down sides so are they worth the extra money are that the bottles leak if not upright and the milk comes up the tube and out of the bottles as you warm it up they get scratched easy and you can only steralise 2 bottles at a time as there are so many parts to each bottle. the bottles are quite wide so you cant fit 2 in a double thermal bag and the level one teats got blocked up had to swap to level two earlier than reccommended. if i had to buy baby bottles again i would look for another product that helps with wind and colic....

Advantages: keeps drinks cool
Disadvantages: cant think of none

Review of Hannah Montana Aluminium Drinks Bottle

brill bottles!

Advantages: helps reduce colic
Disadvantages: price maybe

...Here I am agan writing a review on a baby product! I honestly never knew I would have so many opinions about baby-related things or that there was such variety as far as bottles go! Mrs B and I bought some Tommee Tippiee bottles when Baby B was born but these seemed to make her colic worse and so we were advised to try Dr Brown's Bottles as they have a special valve inside which helps to reduce colic. When looking at the bottles they look a little odd, it seems strange to see a big plastic tube inside the bottle but this unique feature helps keep the air away from the teat so that your baby doesn't take in great gulps of it and then ends up with tummy ache all evening and we all know there is nothing worse than a colicy baby! The bottle comes with the usual measurements along the side so you can work in either oz or mls. To put...

Review of Dr Brown Baby Bottle

Hitting The Bottle!

Advantages: cheaper than Avent
Disadvantages: a few things...

...Tommee Tippee Closer to nature Bottles The moment I saw these bottles I thought that they looked really smart and as I had an Amazon voucher to spend I thought I would invest in a couple and see how they faired compared to the more widely used baby bottles made by Avent. I already had a few Avent bottles given to me from a friend and I just had to buy some new teats for them so comparing the two was easy. I paid around £10 for three of these Tommee Tippee bottles that hold 260ml and that price includes the postage and packaging costs, minus that it would have cost around £8. Now this compared to Avent is probably slightly cheaper as I have recent bought some of my own large Avent Bottles and I paid £15 for four from Boots, so buying Avent it works out a little more expensive. These Tommee Tippee bottles are called...

Review of Tommee Tippee Feeding Bottle

Bottled at Source: A Good Vintage

Advantages: A great album of rare and unreleased material with a "best of" compilation attached.
Disadvantages: None to speak of. Lyrics in the sleeve notes would have been a good addition.

..., when I heard that they were releasing a ?best of? compilation, I jumped at the chance to get it. Turin Brakes are more in tune with their fan base than most groups, and with ?Bottled At Source: The Best of the Source Years? they have outdone themselves. Not only have they pulled together their ?greatest hits? with a 17-track CD, but they have also included a second, 17-track bonus disc of rare and previously unreleased material of excellent quality. A BIT ABOUT THE BAND The ?folk duo? of Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian almost defy categorisation. Friends since childhood, this UK band out of Balham, South London have a unique sound built around acoustic guitars, simple instrumentation, outstanding, perceptive and moving lyrics and Knights? instantly recognisable voice. The band have stated, on record, that their enigmatic name is...
