Amazing graze!

Advantages: Huge range of foods, easy to set up and use, you can control what you want to receive
Disadvantages: Some foods decidedly fatty for healthy things!

...One of the reasons I love Ciao is the fact that I am constantly finding new products and services I never knew existed, and end up really loving. A few weeks ago I read a review for Graze, and was pretty interested in the concept - healthy, natural snacks delivered straight to your home or office as often, or as little, as you want. I dutifully signed up for a free box as per the offer on the website, and have since had four more, so I think that gives me enough experience to provide a good overview of their (quite frankly excellent) service. Upon signing up, you are required to choose which day/s you wish to receive a box (Sunday and Monday not being a possibility due to no post/nobody in the office to prepare the snack boxes), and whether you would like them to be specifically tailored nutritionally for certain purposes, such...

Easy and cheap cut at home

Advantages: even easy cut, good value for money
Disadvantages: none to report yet

...I got this for my partner because, quite frankly, I was sick of him stealing the scissors and my razors at home! This clipper is a good product and I would always reccomend something from the babyliss range - call me a sucker for brands but I have never had a problem with the make when buying products before. The overall appearance isn't the typical appearance to clippers, at least not ones I've seen before but just like it says on the tin my partner found them easy to use and hold. Straight from the box the clippers use "Unique circular blade technology for multi directional cutting" which seem to make a massive differents than a pair of scissors giving the cut a nice and even appearance. The product is rechargable and comes with the mains equipment for corded use or uncorded, whichever you prefer! The results look very...

Eat healthy, eat Graze!

Advantages: healthy, tasty
Disadvantages: a bit too expensive

...When I opened our local newspaper during my lunch break I saw that the main article was about spicing up your lunch box and adding more vitamins to replace sugar, fat etc. Their suggestion was to prepare healthy meals in the morning, using an awful lot of time on cooking, chopping tons of vegetables, even baking stuff and all that before going to your nine hour work. Honestly, I tried it, several times, and could never manage to prepare more than sandwiches in the morning. Thank god for graze.com - the saved me from popping into Tescos to get another meal deal with delivering fresh pineapple, fire nuts and dried cranberries to my workplace! Graze.com can be your new mother that packs you a healthy lunchbox in the morning - and I'll promise you that this box wont include soggy sandwiches. Ordering a box is incredibly easy, just go to...

Graze away, afterall it's good for you!

Advantages: Great Healthy Treats
Disadvantages: Expensive if you get a taste for it!

...want in the week, they will deliver Tuesday-Saturday, they don?t deliver Monday as they cannot get Royal Mail to collect from them on a Sunday. They process all orders for the next day, so Tuesday boxes are made up and sent out on a Monday, etc. You can change your delivery details right up until the morning before delivery. The idea is that you have this delivered to you at work, but they deliver anywhere with a letterbox, I get mine delivered at home. How easy is it to order? Once you go onto the web page www.graze.com and you enter all the usual details and become a member (which is all free) you then get to tell them when and how often you want boxes of treats delivered. They like you to have them delivered weekly but you can put boxes back to another later date or stop them all together if you want to. You can then look...

Review of Savlon Dry Spray

Its thick cut pieces

Advantages: tastes good
Disadvantages: hubby does not like thick bits

...Duerr?s of Manchester make some pretty fine jams and marmalades .This thick cut orange marmalade is no exception. This marmalade comes in a 454 g glass jar. The label proudly announcing it is a traditional Seville orange marmalade. It is sealed with a twist lid. The marmalade shines orange through the jar and the thick cut peel can be seen. Now that might be a put off to some people as they dislike thick bits in their marmalade. Duerr?s make many other varieties of marmalade too so you should find one to suit. Opening the jar and there is a delicious smell of oranges. Putting my knife in to get some to put on my toast I find that the marmalade is quite thick and a few of the thick shreds are on my knife. I put some on my toast and spread. It spreads fairly well obviously there are the thick cut shreds too. Tasting my...

Review of Duerr's Thick Cut Marmalade

The First Cut Is The Deepest

Advantages: Shocking, Great Performances, Great Visuals
Disadvantages: Bad Story Telling, Slow, A Lot Of Missteps

...and as Frannie begins to lose grip of what is real and what is fiction she finds herself in more danger than she could ever of imagined....... In The Cut is a maddening, beautiful, lyrical mess of a movie; lacking sense or a good story but brimming with sensual style, it flits from brilliant to dreadful in the space of a few frames and is steeped in contradiction -its grubby yet gorgeous, disturbing yet enticing, involving yet detached. A dark thriller that uses New York City like a ferocious character; jungle like, wild and disturbing, a scary urban forest of deceit and fear to create tension. Never sticking with a linear narrative, the film coherency is sacrificed and the flimsy story is never back up with any substance, but it contains imagery that will stay with you long after the credits role and its use of visuals to add horror to...

Get Your Cut

Advantages: Great characters, humour, excellent writing style
Disadvantages: You'll either love or hate the ending, some characters are irritating

...Philippa Gregory is best known for her historical fiction, so I was both curious and apprehensive when I came upon Zelda's Cut in my local library. I was pleasantly surprised: I found a highly original story, fascinating characters and the style of writing that Gregory has honed to perfection - the type that pulls you into a story and captivates you. Zelda's Cut is definitely different to Gregory's best-known works, such as The Other Boleyn Girl and new release The Boleyn Inheritance, but certainly no less enjoyable. Isobel Latimer is a middle-aged writer of intellectual novels exploring morality and sense of duty, plots that she emulates in her everyday life as the wife of an invalid. Her husband, Philip, has an inexplicable and incurable disease that has caused him to lose the strength in his muscles and spends most of his day...

Review of Zelda's Cut - Philippa Gregory

The last cut is the deepest

Advantages: thought provoking, good performance by Robin Willams
Disadvantages: confusisng at time, lack of characterisation

...Technology is developing and I am not sure I like the usage of all technology as the Big Brother effect increases. The film "The Final Cut" that stars Robin Williams in the lead role did little to comfort me. The Final Cut is set in a future where the well off can create an amazingly detailed cinematic obituary called a Remorial (sp) using the person's memory. This is done by inserting a Zoë chip into a child's head before birth. This chip is organic and grows with the person throughout their lifetime. When a person dies it is the job of a cutter to edit their memory into a pleasing film for their loved ones to remember them by. The aptly named Allan Hackman (Robin Williams) is a cutter. When creating a film for a prestigious client he is haunted by a figure from his past. He goes on a mission to find out about this person...

Review of The Final Cut (DVD)

A Cut Below

Advantages: Meg Ryan, a little bit different.
Disadvantages: Badly done, thin plot, arty mess!

...Having young children, it can be hard to organise nights out with the partner, so we were glad to be able to go to the cinema last week even though we did not know what was showing. There were several options, but we decided on this film as it starred good old girl-next-door Meg. Should be easy going then? ?In the Cut? was meant to be a total departure for Meg Ryan (we found this out later) and? boy ? was it just? What has happened to that curly haired, chirpy chick from When Harry Met Sally? Oh, how she melted us with her innocent charms, her naivety was the stuff of dreams. She was a girl next door type, and continued as this with such films as ?French Kiss? and ?You?ve Got Mail.? She is the princess of the ?feel good? film ? or she ?was? anyway. She is now in her early forties and her appearance and general looks have lasted well...
