Studio - Excellent Catalogue / Website

Advantages: Loads of gift ideas & cheaper than most shops
Disadvantages: Sometimes delivery can take a long time

...A family member told me about this catalogue just before Christmas so I thought I would take a look & I was very impressed witht he range of products they do ranging from little nic naks to complete bedroom furniture etc. It was a ideal little catalogue fo me to go through just before Chrsitmas as it gave me loads of ideas for little presents that I could buy for only a few pounds & it had a excellent selection of Christmas cards & wrapping paper at a fraction of the cost of the high street. The best thing about this site/catalogue is the prices, most items are a lot cheaper than you will find in shops like Argos etc, for example I have just purchased a chest of drawers from them, it cost £40, for a similar product in Argos was nearly £75, so I had a massive saving & Im also currently waiting for some curtains to arrive which on all...

Home Alone

Advantages: Comdey none stop
Disadvantages: None

...Home Alone, was a classic hit comedy film that was first released in 1991. Even in my adulthood, I am more than happy to watch the film again, and when I was a kid I use to remember watching this film a hundred times during the Christmas holidays and summer holidays. It was such a feel good family fun film; it was the sort of film that even if you?ve watched it once you would never gets bored watching it over and over again. Plot: The film opens with the entire McCallister family packing for their Christmas vacation to France. The family is exceptionally big, some 30 plus including adults. Kevin McCallister the youngest in the family needs help packing his luggage, the older kids simply don?t have the time or the patience to help him, he feels left out and unwanted, just like most teenagers. A patrol police man Harry played by Joe...

THE Premier Home shopping Catalogue

Advantages: good quality clothing, fantastic customer service,
Disadvantages: expensive APR on flexible account

...I am really impressed with the Next Directory. I have been using it now for about 4 years and during that time I have found that the quality of clothing and customer service is the best around. Next was formed in 1981 soon selling women’s, men’s’ and children’s clothing. The next Directory was launched in 1988 and it won House Beautiful’s Mail Order Master Award in 2000. The Next Directory is a brilliant catalogue. It cost £3.00 but it is worth for a hard backed catalogue that will keep its appearance for the whole season. Each section has a dividing page so that you can quickly get to the section you want. Next bring out two catalogues a year – Spring/Summer and Winter/Autumn. You get supplements throughout the year for interiors/summer/Christmas etc. The catalogue is divided into sections...

  Bargains For Your Home

Advantages: Can save you money on your normal shop
Disadvantages: You pick things up you wouldn't normally. Items change regularly.

...a look in the last Argos catalogue then in the new one at the toy section. Items such as My Little Pony, Bratz, Spiderman etc that have been discontinued will more than likely be on the shelves of Home Bargains. I have picked up the odd bargain here around Christmas for my 2 little ones but more often than that, I tend to shop here for their friends birthday parties. They get much more than they would if I went into Woolworths or Argos, that's for sure! You can also find crafts, stationery, cards (in my store they are in this section anyway), videos, DVDs etc here. There are toys for everyone from babies to us big kids! Seasonal Obviously it depends on the time of year as to what is in this section. Recently there has been a lot of gardening items which included bulbs and bedding plants as well as all of your gardening...

Betterware home shopping

Advantages: You can shop in the comfort of your own home
Disadvantages: Can be a little pricey with some things

...I use to be a Betterware agent. I did it for about a month., but got fed up with having to carry ironing ironing boards, whilst delivering stock. The Catologue. A betterware book, is usually delivered every six weeks. An agent will come and post one through your letter box. They will then come back, in a couple of days, to pick up the book, and take your order. (if you have one) The betterware book provides you with reasonably priced products for you and your home. You will find a wide range of goods from: *Jewelery *Dish cloths *Brushes (hair and clothes) *Cleaning products *Pet beds and accessories *Pans *Mops In all products from Betterware are worth the money. You might come across a few things that are a little more expensive than the shops, but overall, you could make a saving. The cleaning...

Back Home

Advantages: Westlife, great songs and voices
Disadvantages: A few week links and very ballard orientated

...This is another great album from the 4 Irish men. It is titled Back Home. There are 12 tracks on this CD:- 1 - Home - This is a beautiful ballard from the group which you will have probably have heard on the radio or advertised on the TV when the adverts for this album appears. It has a lovely tune and is very easy listening. 2 - Us against the world - This is another ballard but has a different edge to it from their usual ballards. The tune is very catchy and the song has great words. More upbeat than some of the songhs on the album. There is a very catchy chorus which is very easy to pick up so you will soon be singing along! 3 - Something right - This song has a lovely tune which makes easy listening. The words are very nice but this is not one of my favourite songs. There is a very upbeat feel to this song which does make...

Awful Experience with Oli.co.uk

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: I am worse off financially and don't even look good to make up for it!

...too short and shrunk quite badly despite being washed as recommended in the care label. My advice would be avoid them like the plague, there are loads of catalogues and online shops that do nice clothes and give you better service than this so spend your hard earned cash on a company that deserve it....

Bryant Homes

Advantages: Great home
Disadvantages: Some niggles

...Bryant Homes We both wanted to buy a new house. And (for different reasons) we both wanted a show home. We looked at five different new housing developments all within easy reach of my workplace. The first was a development by a small building company. Nothing to write home about (if you'll pardon that accidental nearly a pun) it was a "bog standard" development, with nothing to recommend it. The houses seemed to be poorly designed and the site agent (who was only doing the job as a favour to a mate of hers) was utterly clueless as to how the house faired in regards to the recent changes in heat insulation, etc. We noticed that on another development (construction by a national house builder which blew its own trumpet as to how good it's apprentice scheme was, how good it's skilled craftsmen were) the frames of the front doors...
