Concord Trimax - Colourful, spacious and good value

Advantages: Lots of colours to coordinate with your car and good value
Disadvantages: Although easy to adjust, it took a couple of attempts to get the hang of it

...OMG we're pregnant again! I called my hubby... "Erm, hun", I said, " well after 10 years of being careful (our daughter had just turned 10) I think our relaxed life and silent nights are going to be over..." The phone was silent, but I could hear the the last few brown hairs on his head turning a crisp grey....Oh dear. He came home from work with me waiting with open arms...he said "this is going to cost us a fortune" but hugged me with happiness. Nealry nine months later.... We had listed all the items we needed and at the top was CAR SEAT. How many car seats are there on the markets? LOADS!!! We surfed and shopped and came accross the CONCORD TRIMAX in Mothercare. It was suitable from 8 months which was when he would stop using his baby seat. Cost: around £90-£120 depending on the store and sales Colours: many...

An Ideal Comedy?

Advantages: Funny, realistic. Good special features
Disadvantages: Not for the politically correct

...Following the life of small time hash dealer, Moz, Ideal is one of those programmes that you either love or hate. The first time I watched it was by accident, I was flicking channels during adverts and somehow never managed to finish whatever it was I?d been watching. Aired exclusively on BBC3, the episode I caught was part way through the second series and as the 5th series aired my partner and I decided that we would be able to follow proceedings better if we watched the earlier series and so we bought this, Season 1, on DVD for the very reasonable price of £3.98. The Season Set almost exclusively in a dingy bed-sit, Ideal is a gritty, surreal, over-the-top and yet somehow realistic character-led comedy-drama. Drugs feature highly in the subject matter, but not in a way that particularly glamorises them, this is a comedy about...

Ideal Home magazine

Advantages: A magazine bursting with home information and ideas
Disadvantages: none

...The Ideal Home..something that I will never own ! But just looking through the jam- packed magazine makes up for all of that. A glossy covered magazine that is bursting with inspiration on how to design, decorate and furnish your home in the style of your choice.. But there are no articles that refer to `muddy boots and dog hair` !..a common problem in my home ! There are pages devoted to showing you just how beautiful a room can look,from the marbled Bathroom to the shabby chic living room. The magazine covers each and every style of home showing Victorian splendour,French chic,Traditional,Contemporary and Eclectic living. One of the most recent issues show a selection of ideas for decorating a child's bedroom.

Ideal World - Ideal for crafters!

Advantages: Great offers,some p+p free specials
Disadvantages: Normal postage rates, impulse to buy everything

...I'm not sure how I got started watching the home television shopping channels but I have been buying things from them for about 4 years now. I have bought from the bid up and price drop channels, QVC and just recently from Ideal World. Ideal World sells everything from craft goods, beauty products, garden tools, jewellery, clothes, shoes and many other great products for use around the home. They broadcast on free-view and paid for cable/satellite subscriptions. Each hour has a specific theme such as create and craft, pick of the day, gardening in style etc. Some of the presenters can be a little over the top and irritating at times, but 1 presenter is never on for more than an hour and they are usually joined by an expert in the field of whatever they are selling so you can ignore what they are saying and just focus...

My Ideal Foundation...

Advantages: SPF 10, stylish design, has lasted a while, not too greasy, practical (fits in bag) etc
Disadvantages: Has cracked down the side (although hardly visible), quite expensive

...Avon Ideal Shade Mousse Foundation Stick Some of you may or may not know, from reading some of my other reviews, that I am an Avon representative. Because of this I own loads of Avon products, probably too many! I really love my make up, especially foundations as I never feel too confident until I am sure my skin looks its best. I've tried many foundations, minerals, liquids, some which I don't even know what on earth they were! But I have to say this handy little stick is very good, so I've decided to write a review about it. Happy reading! Why Did I buy the Ideal Shade Mousse Foundation Stick My Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation was running out, and I urgently needed a new foundation before there was none left. I do have lots of others, I admit, but there all either too greasy, too orange or too white. I...

In an Ideal World

Advantages: Shopping from the comfort of your home
Disadvantages: Status, postage & packing

Review of Shopping Channel - Ideal World

Almost Ideal!

Advantages: Great location, cheap
Disadvantages: No air-con, noise from traffic and cleaners

...It's a trade off which often crops up when arranging accommodation for city breaks - a central location costs more but in the end you may spend as much on transport as you think you've already saved. In June my partner and I spent a week in Naples. He was there for a few days for work, I would do my own thing for the first couple of days then we would have a couple more days to ourselves. We needed to be fairly close to the centre for the wok engagements but cost was our primary concern. Sadly Ciao could not help so we trawled through pages and pages of websites, eventually finding Hotel Ideal. True to its name it did sound like a very good option - close to the city's main bus and train stations, near to Naples' main shopping area and only a short walk away from the sea; the price was reasonable and it did have a double room...

Review of Hotel Ideal, Naples

Not such an Ideal World

Advantages: Easy home shopping , some good prices
Disadvantages: Expensive premium rate phone charges , some goods poor quality

...Ideal World feels like the poor relation in terms of shopping channels . I have not seen many others only having access via Freeview but have found that Ideal World has a bit of a 'cheap' shop feel about it . It is located on Freeview channel 22 and can be viewed on-line also . The presenters are a bit of a smarmy bunch . They do not have any charming , natural appeal but rather seem forced and contrived . The channel sells a wide range of goods from clothes to computers to curtains to jewellery and much more . Each presentation or show lasts an hour . Occasionally there are two one hour shows for the same product in each successive show . I have only orderd a couple of times and the goods have arrived promptly and in good condition . One of the problems with Ideal World is that when you order by telephone the call charges...

Review of Shopping Channel - Ideal World

Ideal idealing.

Advantages: Easy, low cost online share trading.
Disadvantages: None discovered to date

...Are you prepared to buy and sell shares yourself? Are you prepared to invest in your opinion, not someone else's? Do you want a Stocks & Share ISA without all those nasty charges? ....then idealing may just be ideal for you!! (www.idealing.com.) I was doing some research recently on how I could put my little portfolio of shares into an ISA so that the tax man couldn?t get at my profits (if its possible to make any in this market!) The fruits of my research led me to idealing.com. This is an online broker where you can buy or sell shares for only £10 per trade. Now you can also name the price you want to buy and sell at and they will do the rest for you for only another £2.50 per trade! It's amazing to think that while you're busy dealing with the trials and tribulations of everyday life, your computer might be buying or selling...

An ideal play

Advantages: Funny, unpredictable and great drama
Disadvantages: A bit too complex ?

...I saw a production of this about a year ago and it started me reading the rest of Wildes plays. Wilde is a funny and perceptive writer and his work draws on his experience of victorian manners. An Ideal Husband is a play about love and politics. If this sounds boring then bare with me as it really isn't as predictable as it all sounds. The main characters are victorian gentry/middle class. They consist of :- Lord Goring, an idle but intelligent gentleman Sir Robert Chiltern, an important memebr of parliament Lady Chiltern, his wife and a very moral character Mabel Chiltern, Robert Chilterns sister and in love with Lord Goring and Mrs Cheveley, a rich amoral lady. In addition to these there are various characters such as Lord Gorings father and his butler. The play opens with a party given by Sir Chiltern. The arrival...
