Chads great film!

Advantages: Family, funny, romantic
Disadvantages: Connection with Chad and Hillary

...say as I can't ruin the ending you will have to watch it!! This is a great movie and very upto date. I like how its been updated into this modern age by using a car, basing it in a school etc. I think that Chad and Hillary didnt really have a connection which let the film down a bit and that Hillarys songs were in the film alot she must of made a mint! I do like these sorts of film and would reccomend to anyone who like soppy films! There are funny bits, romantic bits and really sweet bits. This is great for a girly night! It stars Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray. Directed by: Mark Rosman Realeased: 20 August 2004 (UK)...

Review of A Cinderella Story (DVD)

Six or Half a Dozen Great Either Way!

Advantages: cheap and fun
Disadvantages: none

...Chad Valley - Sorting Eggs???? These Chad Valley sorting eggs is a toy that Jack has had for nearly a year now and it is only recently that he is really getting the full use out of them. Now he is able to use them how they are meant to be played with I thought I would write a quick review on them. The sorting eggs are basically half a dozen (six) eggs which come housed in a egg tray type box. Each egg can be taken apart giving a top and bottom part of the egg. The bottom part of the egg is fixed into the egg tray where as the top half of the egg can be taken away. Inside the egg, there is a different colour and a different shape. The shape is made to stick out on the part of the egg that detaches and this can then be fixed into the shape hole in that remains in the tray On top of each egg there is a picture...

Review of Chad Valley Sorting Eggs

wot no rain

Advantages: edge-of-world adventure
Disadvantages: it's a third world country

...Well my reviews are nothing if not eclectic: biscuits, a music album, body scrub and now a whole darn country. When Michael Palin did his 'Sahara' trip I was most disappointed that he didn't visit Chad. It's the fifth largest country in Africa and yet, until the desperate Darfur refugees came across the border from the troubles in southern Sudan, I doubt most people would have been able to place it - I know I couldn't till I went there. I stayed there 8 months working for a development agency and I'd say I'm glad I did it but I'm even more glad it's done! Still, since it's so unknown I thought I'd share a bit of information. It's impossible to sum up the whole country in this review, but I'll try and give you the basics to either whet your appetite or put you off entirely! ********Geography ****Location Chad is west of Sudan...

Review of General: Chad

Was it the Chad

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing i can think of

...Wow, what can I say? This had everything to get your blood pumping. Fast flowing, frantic, explosive, all out action. One really had to wonder how the re-vamp of the 70's classic would fair in the modern world. The answer was a resounding, 'Very Well'. What really made this film a must see really had to be the cast of Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu, all accompanied by resident funny men Bill Murray and MTV crazy man Tom Green. One could really sense the chemistry between Ms Barrymore and 'The Chad' every time they were on set together. However, despite having her boyfriend on stage with her, there certainly was no spark taken out of Drew Barrymore's performance. One would have forgiven her for declining to par-take in some slightly raunchy scenes. However, thankfully, she did not and the male audience really benefited...

Review of Charlie's Angels (DVD)

BEEP, BEEP!

Advantages: good price lots of fun
Disadvantages: Daddy plays it too much

...Chad Valley Super Garage I do believe that I get far more excited about Jacks toys than he does himself. When I see something I had as a child I feel I have to get it and my partner is the same. I feel however that we are going to end up with a rather spoil child on our hands! Jacks Nana sent down an Easter card and a £20 note instead of chocolate for him this Easter so we decided to get him yet another toy. This time it was my partners turn to get excited as when we popped in Woolworths we saw this Chad Valley Super Garage, and although it didn't look much like the one he had as a child it was the same sort of thing, we just had to buy it. The original price n this garage was £39.99p although I cannot think who would pay that price for it. It had been reduced down to £24.99 pence and then again to £17.99 pence. I...

Review of Chad Valley Super Garage

Balltastic

Advantages: fun
Disadvantages: can be bought cheaper

...Chad Valley Play Balls....... Chad Valley is brand of toys that are made for the company Woolworth's. Woolworth's is a popular store around the country and has been going for a long time. The Chad Valley product range is very large and included in this range is these 100 Play Balls especially designed for children. The Play Balls come held within a plastic carrier container and the 100 balls fit nicely inside (even if it does take a long time to get them al back in the bag!). The price is £4.99 pence, which is about right for this type of product, although I have since seen 100 balls available from Tesco for exactly £4 and the balls themselves are slightly larger in size. The balls come in a variety of colours and they are blue, green, yellow, red and orange. The balls are made of plastic and have the age range of being...

Review of Chad Valley 100 Play Balls

Ted E Bear

Advantages: Soft, cuddly and long lasting
Disadvantages: Only available from Woolworths

...As I sit surrounded by mountains of children's toys, each one staring blankly at me waiting patiently to be played with, there is one face that stands out amongst the rest, the oldest and perhaps most loved of all my little boys toys. When we found out we were expecting Christopher 4 years ago my then fiancée, now husband, wanted to buy him his first teddy bear, one that he could keep forever and remember fond times with, working at Woolworths gave him the perfect opportunity to find a suitable bear and he chose the adorable Chad Valley My First Bear in powder blue. My First Bear- Chad Valley is a toy range only found in Woolworths stores and so the bear is unique to those stores. Coming in baby pink or powder blue (at the time of purchase) the bear has wonderfully soft "fur", soft and silky like the gentlest lambs wool the plush...

Review of Chad Valley My First Bear

Water fun for your children

Advantages: good size
Disadvantages: takes a lot of puff to blow it up

...I was in woolies buying the play balls that I intended to put into a paddling pool for my grandchildren to use as a ball pool; I was also on the look out for a pool to put them in. I spotted this colorful paddling junior pool a Chad valley product. I thought it would be good we could use it both as a pool to put the balls in or as the intended use a paddling pool. It is sale time in Woolworths so this was reduced from £12.99 to £9.99. I thought that a fair price to pay for a paddling pool so I bought it there and then. I f you order it on line there is a 4.99 delivery charge. Website address below: http://www.woolworths.co.uk/web/jsp/fredhopper/index.jsp?op=search Chad valley have been making toys since 1860.

Review of Chad Valley Junior Pool

Finally a noisy baby toy that isn't incredibly annoying!

Advantages: Robust, bright colours, fun noises
Disadvantages: Animals don't stay in their slots

...seems pretty safe for a young child. It also seems very robust as it is constantly getting bashed and dropped by my son yet it is still working. I imagine this toy was bought from Woolworths originally which is obviously no longer a shopping option. However Argos have taken over the sale of Chad Valley toys and it is currently available from them priced at £14.99....

Review of Chad Valley Musical Tractor & Trailer

Balls lots of balls

Advantages: sensory play
Disadvantages: Get everywhere take a lot of tidying up .

...Balls lots of balls, I bought 4 of these bags of playbills each bag contains 100 balls. I have for several; weeks thought I would like to buy a pool and some balls for my grandchildren to play in either at their hose or mine; daughter refused the offer so I bought some for my house. The balls I bought are CHAD VALLEY ones from Woolworths they come in zippered plastic PVC carry bag containing 100 of balls. I bought 4 bags each bag cost me £4.99 each normal price £6.99 they are on sale at the mo. I noticed in the early learning shop nearby 100 balls cost £10 no doubt they may be better quality but for my use I think the woollies balls will be fine... I also bought a Chad valley junior blow up pool to put them in. Let me describe the balls. These are PVC balls, each measuring 65mm diameter. It says they are brightly coloured well...
