Fun with feathers!

Advantages: Great fun, good exercise, cheap to buy
Disadvantages: None for us!

...When we were adopted by our handsome cat, Mew, we decided that he should have some toys to play with. It was with this in mind that we went to Pets at Home to see what was on offer there. We came back with a couple of little balls ? hubby said that they would be good as Mew hadn?t got any of his own! Actually even though they had bells inside them Mew wasn?t interested. We got a little sack of cat nip which Mew completely ignored! The real success was the Feather Chaser Wand (yes I know it sounds like some sort of sex toy but trust me on this one!). It is made by a firm called Willow?s and the full name of it is Willow's Feather Chaser Wand Catnip Toy for Cats and it cost just £2.99. It is supposedly infused with cat nip but as I said earlier this wouldn?t make a blind bit of difference to Mew as he doesn?t react to cat nip...

Light as a feather

Advantages: nice light skateboardcan
Disadvantages: can become expensive sport

...the equipment is usually expensive and in skateboarding this is no different, a skateboard can last anything from a month down to one skating session, depending on where the skateboarder is skating and what tricks they are doing, as you can imagine this is a very expensive hobby. My son has often dragged me round skateboard shops every birthday and Christmases, looking at trucks, wheels, boards, grip tape and numerous other shops for the right trainers, clothes, ect for skateboarding and I now consider myself educated on the subject of what?s good and what?s not. Element Bam Feather Skateboard Deck is pretty good. Bam Margera has put his name to this skateboard deck he has a very good rep as a skateboarder, ranking high amongst the well known like Tony Hawks, whom, if you have never heard of ,you can get his playstation skateboarding games to...

How Many Dresses ?

Advantages: Good storyline , James Marsden, funny
Disadvantages: NONE!

...I recently saw 27 dresses at the cinema and thought it was a really good movie. It's the best movie I've seen in a long time. When I first saw the adverts for it , and read the reviews in magazines , I knew it would be a good film. I was glad I was right too , because my predictions of the last movie I'd seen , St Trinians was wrong - I thought it looked good , but it turned out to be an awful film in my opinion. However I am not here to review St Trinians , I am here to review 27 dresses. So here we go.... * Movie Information * 27 Dresses was released in the United Kingdom in March 2008. The running time of 27 Dresses is 107 minutes. * 27 Dresses - The Characters * Jane - played by Katherine Heigl - A kind and caring character who will do anything to please others.

27 Dresses - A predictable chick flick

Advantages: Easy viewing
Disadvantages: Not a laugh out loud comedy, predictable.

...I watched this film last night after renting it from Lovefilm.com. A number of people I knew who had seen it had suggested that it was very funny and worth watching, so I thought I would get in on the act ans see what all the fuss was about. 27 Dresses is a romantic comedy which is directed by Anne Fletcher and written by Aline Brosh McKenna. Mckenna was also screenwriter for the Devil Wears Prada, which led me to expect an equally good film in 27 Dresses. The film has a 12A rating and was released in January 2008. Running time is approximately 110 minutes. ***The Cast*** Katherine Heigl as 'constant bridesmaid' - Jane Nichols James Marsden as ' wedding journalist' - Malcolm Kevin Doyle Malin Akerman as ' Jane's sister' - Tess Nichols Edward Burns as 'Jane's boss' - George ***The plot*** The film centres...

Scarlet Feather

Advantages: Excellent cannot put down
Disadvantages: none whatsoever

...I have to admitt - lm a Maeve Binchy fanatic - l have read all her books and Echos is my favourite, but lm not hear to tell you about that book, its her latest and apparently her last novel - Scarlet Feather. The 2 main characters Cathy Scarlett and Tom Feather - they attended catering college together and always had the pipe dream to run thier own catering business - suddenly it looks as though this dream may well indeed come true. The story is weaved around the lives of these two central characters and is an enchanting tale. As with all of Binchy's novels it is set in Ireland - this one is based in Dublin. She tells a tale and describes the area so well that its easy to close your eyes and picture exactly what she is describing. As usual l found the book hard to put down - in fact l read it in about 3 days - and it was her...

Dress Your Best!

Advantages: Very popular with young children
Disadvantages: No lift-the-flap opportunities

...Maisy is a sweet little white mouse, with a pink tail, nose, ears and paws. She isn't a 'regular' sort of mouse as she wears clothes, sleeps in a bed, brushes her teet and much, much more! The books in this series really appeal to young children, as Maisy does everything that they can relate to. ~ The story ~ Not surprisingly, this book is all about Maisy dressing up, a pastime that is very popular with pre-school children. The story begins with Maisy receiving an invitation to her friend's fancy dress party. Not sure as to what to wear, she looks in her dressing up box where there are lots of options: a pirate, a queen, a king or a firefighter. The problem is that she knows her friends are wearing these costumes so she decides to make a special costume. When she gets to the party the reader then realises that Maisy...

Well Dressed indeed!

Advantages: Leaves a lovely finish on the skin.
Disadvantages: Price for some people I suppose.

...?Well Dressed? is one of my staple blushes from Mac and I always have one in use. This is a great blush for everyday use because it is a subtle colour, giving a hint of pink to the cheeks, so it can compliment most make up styles. ?Well Dressed? is a pale pink, if you swipe your finger over the pressed powder then you get a small covering on pink, which is great because it means this is not at all overpowering on the cheeks. In fact I think it is practically impossible to mess the application of this blush up! This is a slight shimmer blush, when you move it in the light you can see some specs of sparkle, I?m hesitant to call it glitter because it is too fine, however it is important to note that this gives the blusher a slight light catching ability when being worn. Again this is not at all overpowering. When applying this blush I use...

BRITISH EMPIRE - THE FOUR FEATHERS

Advantages: Solid remake of a well used storyline.
Disadvantages: Never quite makes the top grade, not emotive enough

...--- Combining a wide range of emotions including love, friendship, trust, heroism, loyalty and romantic rivalry this film tries to cater for all needs, but at times satisfies none (I would though recommend it as a stereotypical his and hers film as it manges to give action and a love plot). Involving a British officer who resigns his commission before going against Sudanese rebels, he is presumed a coward and is given four symbolic white feathers by his friends and fiancee. As a way of dealing with this he goes to Sudan to find his comrades and goes through prison, fights and general pain. In the end he finds most of them and obtains there forgiveness and understanding to why he resigned. Although well made the film constantly leaves you with the false belief that something really good in terms of plot, action and special effects is going to happen...
