Advantages: Seeing your child grow
Disadvantages: lack of money, social life

...I am just going to make this a short review to tell you the most annoying thing about being a stay at home mum. I have a 17 month old daughter and spend all day following her around - cleaning up after her, dirty nappies, potty training, cooking and everything that goes with being a stay at home mummy. I do not mind doing this as I also get all the good parts too, watching your child do something you have taught them is far more rewarding than being called into the bosses office and given a 'star'!! The thing that really winds me up is that from the moment my daughter wakes up her first word of the day is ddaa-gn (daddy), this alone would not be too bad but then it continues, Brushing her teeth - 'Daa-gn' Down the stairs - 'Daa-gn' Through the living room - 'Daa-gn' She then looks in every corner where Daddy hides when they play...

Advantages: Weekly issue, good value, plenty of tips and advice, free gifts
Disadvantages: Sells out quickly if you don't get to the stores early on Thursdays

...It was only by chance that I bought an issue of GN as it always looked just like a newspaper. I could not believe the information that was packed into it for only £1.30. I look forward to GN each week and can't wait to read all of the information. There are weekly articles on certain types of plants by experts from various associations e.g. dahlias, fuchsias etc. which take you through the growing year. There are excellent tips, question and answer pages, jobs for the week and month and articles by Professionals and Amateurs. There have been lots of information on Garden design and decoration which gives you new ideas which are quite simple to carry out. The language used is 'down to earth' and easy to understand. Each week throughout Spring and Summer there are free gifts - often packets of seeds worth as much as the cost... Read review

Advantages: .
Disadvantages: .

...When Guns n' Roses split up, the world of rock n roll was devastated! Seeing axl rose struggle to make it with a new version of GnR was almost unbearable. But when Slash, Duff and Matt teamed up with ex stone temple pilot's singer Scott Weiland no-one expected the final outcome of 'Contraband'. The album features many songs sounding similar to that of GnR, but also lingers on a sound of metal with hard rhythms and intricate drumming. The album on a whole is excellent and can be listened to for hours on end without becoming tired of it. Some sogs do not sound entirely original, however with the sound of GnR mixed with Stone Temple Pilots, Velvet Revolver have come out on Top. Tracks: 1. Suckertrain Blues - a catchhy song with good rythm and lyrics. typical example of velvet revolver work with an excellent solo by slash, and lyrics... Read review

Advantages: Great look and feel to the headset, remarkable sound quality
Disadvantages: Rather pricey and poor battery life

...THis GN Netcom headset, is a beautiful piece of machinery. It has a stuning design and prefectly easy to use. I simply opened the box andhardlyhad to use the instruction manual. I connceted it up and i was off! the sound quality is phenomenal, far better than any headsets that phone companies supply you with... i could my the person crystal clear, and i felt that he was right there with me. the only downside, is that the battery life, i felt was rather lacking. Not long after i had bought the product, i felt i had to keep on charging it every 10 or so hours, which i felt was rather ridiculous. however, i put up with it becuase i liked the design and how easy it was to use. Furthermore, the dual connection the comes with this headset is remarkable and the technology that goes into this headset is so robust! One major downside... Read review
