Speedy Ironing

Advantages: cover reflects heat, irons out creases quickly, thick underlay, washable
Disadvantages: can take a while to fit cover snuggly (without creases)

...Cleaning is something that I don't mind doing as I like things to be in it's place and try to keep on top of things. This means that there's no need to spend the whole of my weekends cleaning, leaving me to do the things that I want when I'm not in work. There is one task however that I hate and that is ironing. For some it is therapeutic, or something to do when watching TV, but for me it is the one job that I find a chore and I hate it so much I even prefer cleaning the oven to ironing! My ironing board is years old and I have never changed the cover. I didn't realise how thin the cover had become until I took the old cover off and thought that this had something to do with why I have to spend such a long time ironing the creases out of my clothes. I was persuaded by the TV advert for the JML Fast Fit Ironing Board Cover, so...

Review of JML Fast Fit Ironing Board Cover

Any Old Iron?

Advantages: It's great fun and has solide direction, writing and performances.
Disadvantages: The peripheral characters are unremarkable.

...Billionaire industrialist Tony Stark has made his fortune creating evermore innovative weapons. But when he is captured by insurgents while showcasing his latest invention, he is ordered to build a devastating weapon for his captors. Instead he constructs a high-tech suit of armour that he uses to escape. Returning home he decides to devote his money and ingenuity to help mankind. He modifies the suit, increasing its powers to include super-strength and the ability to fly and superhero Iron Man is born? Actor-turned-director Jon Favreau takes a step up from his kids films ("Elf" and "Zathura") for this thoroughly enjoyable superhero romp that never takes itself too seriously. His visuals are glossy and the effects, of which there are many, are suitably impressive. He understands cinema as spectacle and makes the most of his big budget...

THE REAL IRON BREW

Advantages: Effects are quick to work
Disadvantages: tastes awful

...It's often the case isn't it, it's only when you are at your lowest and at the stage of physically dropping that you seek any nutritional help. This was certainly the scenario I experienced, whilst three months pregnant I felt as if I literally could not clamber out of bed in the morning, absolutely zero energy and in fact felt like "a shadow" instead of a physical being ... Rewind back to when I first started feeling like this, and I ventured to my GP to see what they could offer me. In the past I have had trouble with anaemia and so fully expected to be prescibed some form of iron. So, I was rather surprised when I left the surgery with no sign of a prescription whatsover. The advice given was along the lines of "feeling like this is a normal occurence during pregnancy, just one of those things .." This point of view infuriates...

Review of Floradix Liquid Iron

Iron out your problems

Advantages: High quality herbal and fruit supplement
Disadvantages: Short storage life once opened

...Following a recent bout of flu my mother-in-law recommended that I bought a bottle of Floradix to help combat the extreme tiredness that I was feeling. Every movement was an effort and I was feeling as though I had done ten rounds with a heavyweight boxer! I had lost all my appetite and as a consequence had survived on very little sustenance no wonder my body was complaining. I found that it helped me ?get back on my feet? again and was a very useful aid to my recovery. What is it? Floradix is a food supplement which supplies the goodness needed by the body to sustain fitness and health. It is bought in liquid form. It is made from numerous herbs, fruits, vitamins, yeast, ocean kelp and organic iron. Vitamins C, B6, B12, Thiamin and Riboflavin are a part of the supplement and each providing a part of the recommended daily...

Review of Floradix Liquid Iron

What a smart board!

Advantages: interactive, great display, useful resources, great teaching tool
Disadvantages: pens and remote too easy to steal, callibration issues

...PLEASE NOTE - PUNCTUATION STILL DOES NOT SEEM TO BE DISPLAYING CORRECTLY IN MY REVIEWS. COME ON CIAO - SORT IT OUT!!! Teaching in schools has been revolutionised by the use of interactive whiteboards in classrooms. These boards have been gradually replacing the standard ?dry wipe? whiteboard as the central focus point of the classroom. There are two main brands used in schools at the moment and these are the Promethean Interactive Whiteboard and the SMART board. The Promethean uses one pen as the means of interacting with the board, where as the SMART board uses four coloured pens, an ?eraser? and you can also use your finger. I understand that this is not a product that anyone is likely to buy for their house as is main use is within schools, colleges, universities etc (having said that, businesses are now beginning to invest in...

Review of SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard 680 - whiteboard

perfect fit

Advantages: Does what it claims
Disadvantages: None

...Ironing board cover I always find it quite difficult to find an ironing board cover which will definitely fit my ironing board and when I needed a new one decided to buy one which promises to fit almost any size of ironing board. Apparently over 8 million of the things have been sold in the UK alone, so if this is indeed true, then it must have special powers!! PRODUCT AND PACKAGING... The ironing board cover comes in a plastic bag with all the information on the front of the bag. There are a number of designs, but i chose the sones design, which is a background of grey stones with some large what look like gebera flowers scattered all over the stones; I actually think the flowers are more noticeable and obvious than the stones. The dimensions of 139cm by 49cm means that it is quite big and when I placed it over my...

Review of Iron Man (DVD)

Iron Man

Advantages: Good story, fun characters
Disadvantages: None

...For anyone who reads comics you will know that Iron Man is a Marvel creation. I didn't, my comic knowledge goes about as far as Spiderman and Superman so I was unaware that Iron Man was taken from this genre. The Iron Man Movie was released in 2008. It is a superhero film and is in very much the same ilk as Spiderman and Superman, good triumphing over evil, the dastardly baddie, the epic battle (pow, kerpow, take that@!!***< etc). Iron Man's alter ego is Tony Stark, a billionaire industrialist who has made his money in the company firm, Stark Industries, selling weapons. He is your stereotypical player, smooth, suave and loves his toys and gadgets. During a business trip to Afghanistan to showcase his latest weapons he is kidnapped and held in captivity. He is also wounded by one of his own company's bombs, which knocks him...

Review of Iron Man (DVD)

boards for writing on then wiping clean

Advantages: saves paper
Disadvantages: none

...The students in my class use white / dry wipe boards to write/draw scribble on to practice pencil control and to do their work on. These white boards are the modern equivalent of a blackboard, a slate. They are useful in saving paper waste. Johnny can draw and correct many pictures on one of these as when the picture/work is finished with it can be wiped of by using an eraser Certainly easier to clean than a chalk board , cleaner no chalk dust making a mess White board pens seem easier for my special needs pupils to write with than standard pens. The non magnetic white boards our students use are about A4 size, they do come in different size some A3 others that are smaller or bigger. Some I have used have a plastic colored frame border around them others do not have any frame edging. Some are magnetic some not. A white board is...

Spatone Iron

Advantages: No side effects
Disadvantages: expensive

...Like many people i have a problem taking Iron supplements as it usually causes terrible constipation and headaches. However, finding out recently that i need extra help with iron now that i am pregnant i was recommended Spatone Iron+ by a friend that has had the same problem. They come in boxes of 28 and are individual sachets of mineral water which contain the added iron. One sachet a day, taken on its own or with fruit juice is enough to keep your iron levels at a normal level and without the added worry of the painful side effect that most iron supplements can cause. On their own they taste slightly metalic but i take mine with a glass of fruit juice which helps the body absorb the iron better. I have been on them for a month now and i am pleased to report that i have experienced no side effects at all. Best of all i feel...
