GLTC. Juice Box Holders - So simple!

Advantages: Very useful, easy to store, highly durable, great value for money.
Disadvantages: Slender cartons wobble around a bit, but they still work!

...results! Having seen one of our friends children turn into some psycho whirling tornado following three or four sips of a Fruit Shoot, we decided early on that water, milk and natural fruit juices where the way to go with Daisy. This didn't prove to be a problem while she was little as she just had water and milk in her bottle. But once she got older and we decided to try fruit juices we found that she wasn't ready, at that point, to drink out of an open cup. So we turned to cartons of juice and straws. Oh the excitement! She loved them but we had to be really strict about Mummy or Daddy holding the carton and Daisy holding the straw which made it a lot less fun. Then what should drop through my letter box but the latest Great Little Trading Co (GLTC) catalogue. Upon browsing through it found these - the Juice Box Holders. What...

The Canterbury Range Toilet Roll Holder.

Advantages: High quality and great value for money.
Disadvantages: Can be difficult to removed the toilet roll.

...A few weeks ago I headed off to my local B&Q store to find several bathroom accessories one of which was this product, to finish my new downstairs bathroom. As my new bathroom was designed in neutral colours with a lovely natural pine ceiling, I decided to look for something that was designed in a nice traditional way which would be in keeping. I had been to many other home improvement stores but was unable to find something I thought matched my specification. Whilst there I saw something I thought matched the specification perfectly, a solid pine with a brillant white plastic expandable roll holder with a vanish finish on a beautiful grain of pine. My first thought was, how functional and compact it looked. One of the main thoughts was 'how does it fix to the wall?' I opened the cardboard box and found a folded A5 sheet...

  Personalised Tampax Holders

Advantages: Gives you something to read over your toast
Disadvantages: Not good quality, over priced, useless customer services

...and t shirt. I am sorry but who wants to give a present of a set of table coasters with your picture on it. I don't relish the thought of someone putting their cup of coffee on top of my mug shot or my kids. Infact nearly everything it seems can be personalised here, about the only thing not done is a tampax holder, but watch this space, it might be in 2006 edition. The further I go down the pages, the more I realise it hasn't really changed at all. The Elvis Presley clock on page 273 is what my friend won in a raffle. It had pride of place in her kitchen for almost a week but after Elvis continually singing "rock around the clock" on the hour, every hour, she donated it to the Oxfam shop. Cant believe its selling for £29.99! My mate would have paid that to get rid of it. However after reading the description, this one plays "Hound...

Review of Studio Catalogue

Who says you've got to be old to be grumpy?

Advantages: Relatable content presented in a humourous way
Disadvantages: Original price was a bit much for the size of book

...to believe they can and should "have it all" has actually turned into "doing it all" (having a job, running a house, raising children - as a younger woman, I quite agree with some of the sentiments because aspiring to be a stay-at-home mum doesn't seem to be "fulfilling your potential" now, and I'm sure if I had told my female peers at uni that ultimately I planned to have children they would have asked why I was bothering to study - today's woman has to do it all) - but the set-up of the imaginary family is cleverly structured to seem realistic and provides an excellent way for Judith Holder, the author to venture into the territory of what modern women end up doing. (If the kids want a kitten, that's fine when it's small, but Mum and Dad will be the ones left looking after it when the children have flown the nest. It would be so easy...

This one's for Dummies!

Advantages: Stops dummy falling to the floor
Disadvantages: Clip can be fiddly

...all he wants is his dummy and so I'm happy for him to have it, unfortunately of course being so young he needs the dummy sterilised and once it's dropped on the floor he can't have it back until it's been cleaned again. I never wanted to have tonnes of dummies hanging around and decided to find a different way of tackling the problem which is when I came across dummy clips. There are many different types of dummy clips around and they'll come described as different things too- soother savers, dummy holders etc? but they're all designed for the same purpose. I have a few different brands of dummy clip as I find they come in handy for more then just holding dummies. The Winnie The Pooh dummy clips (from Asda) come in packs of 2 clips featuring popular Winnie The Pooh character, they're brightly coloured and while this might not matter to...

Review of Winnie The Pooh Soother Holders

Wow, two cup holders!!

Advantages: Light weight, cheap, cup holders and adjustable head rest!
Disadvantages: Must be strapped in even when empty

...I bought this seat some time ago when my eldest was two and a half. He is still using it nearly 5 now! The transition from baby seat with 5 point harness was never going to be easy. I, like most mums, worried about whip lash, children undoing the buckle, being uncomfortable while asleep, you name it, I worried. However. Graco and the helpful staff at Halfords made the transition much easier. The Graco Junior was an instant hit, mainly due to the duel cup holders-two year olds are easy to please. The adjustable head rest, side head wings, padding and belt height adjuster made me feel much easier. The adjustable head rest means the seat can be moved upwards in accordance with your child's growth. Thus ensuring the seat belt always fits snugly against the shoulder, very important in the event of an accident. The arm rests slightly...

The beloved holder of food

Advantages: Actuall makes the food cold unlike the previous frdige
Disadvantages: Is a little flimsy in places

...out. There is a big pocket at the bottom for drinks with little plastic holders, which ping back when taken away. You can use the small areas to put cartons of drink and there is even a little egg holder, so you don’t break them – we’ve been there! What else can you say about a fridge? Oh yeah, it is good quality. The door has good damping and is weighted enough to close itself after a little push. The door is securely in place then. Inside the quality isn’t as great. Like other people have said, the temperature control is a little flimsy and can be turned when you brush against it, getting something out. I have checked and indeed it doesn’t take much to nudge it out of place. The little compartments are a little thin but they hold together nicely still. Sit in a quiet room with the Beko...

A Pyramid of adventure

Advantages: plot, characters, price
Disadvantages: /

..., and one of the only few I read when I was younger (of course I've ploughed my way through them now!) Scarabain Nights, book number #24, is one of over fifty books in the collection. It is written by Nancy Holder. She has written several of the books in the Sabrina range, including 'Up, Up and Away', 'What a Doll' and 'Christmas Crisis'. Having read and enjoyed her work before, I had high hopes for this book straight away. The cover of the book is probably one of my favourites. All the Sabrina covers are attractive, don't get me wrong, but this one simply stands out a bit more than some of the others. Mounted on a lovely peachy coloured background there is a picture of Melissa Joan Hart, the actress who plays Sabrina. Aside her there is a picture of Salem with what would seem to be a rather large and unusual collar! Behind them you can see...

Review of Scarabian Nights (Sabrina The Teenage Witch) - Nancy Holder

Don't send this one 'Up, Up and Away'!

Advantages: exciting plot, strong characters, unique, price
Disadvantages: /

...this is not the case with this particular edition - everything comes as a surprise! There are various authors who wrote for the Sabrina collection, and this story is written by Nancy Holder. She has wrote other options, including 'Spying Eyes' and 'Scarabian Nights'. She also writes for other collections, including 'Saving Grace' and 'Buffy'. Although I am not familiar with her other work, whenever I see her name on a Sabrina book I know I am going to be getting a good read. This book is aimed at children around the ages of 8-12, and I would say this is only a guideline. The writing is quite small so it may be too daunting for the less able reader, though for those who feel confident and are in the age bracket then it can provide an enjoyable though slightly challenging read. It is perfect as a light read for the more mature reader...
