Jo Jingles fun for your little uns!

Advantages: fun, engaging, ineractive
Disadvantages: not long enough!!

...Over the past few years there have been a sudden growth in the amount of fun classes you can take part in with your children as the government have tried to encourage new mums to bond with their children in this way. I have done baby massage and rhythm time and enjoyed them both and now I have started Jo Jingles too and both me and my baby love it! Jo Jingles involves music and movement and is all about having fun and learning some basics too. Classes vary depending upon the age group involved as the ages it targets are from 3months to 5 years so obviously huge differences developmentally depending upon the age of your child/children. The aim of Jo JIngles is to have fun and to stimulate children. It tries to have an educational front too such as songs which involve counting and clapping. It also provides the mother with some fun...

Review of Jo Jingles

Decent hotel in the middle of Stafford

Advantages: Nice rooms, friendly service, good food
Disadvantages: Location might be noisy at the weekend

...INTRODUCTION Back in the UK again, I had some training courses to attend and so several of us from work got together to go on one in Staffordshire. Having found this hotel on the net, we all booked into it with eager anticipation of a night out before the course the next day. It wasn't to disappoint; amid all the banter, eating and drinking, I managed to keep my head and so present to you my experience of the hotel. LOCATION This is slap bang in the middle of Stafford town centre and so very handily located. It's only a five or ten minute walk from the train station. I ponced a lift and it wasn't hard to find once we got into the town centre and followed the directions. There are small signs pointing to the hotel which you follow, all the way round a winding road and finally into the hotel car park. THE ROOM...

Review of Swan Classic Hotel, Stafford

It's jingle all the way with a Jo Jingles party

Advantages: The children were entertained and worn out
Disadvantages: Sweaty parents. Warn parents before about participating.

...I have not attended the Jo Jingles music classes, I first became aware of this UK wide franchise when my daughter went to a Jo Jingles party and for a time every other party I attended seemed to be one, in the end I too had to arrange one myself. To do this I had to start off on the website (I think if you attend the classes you would just ask whoever runs the class), and clicked on parties in the menu selection on the right. The page this takes you to advises you to find your local representative. I made contact, we agreed a date and discussed the price which was £70 for 2 hours (this was 3-4 years ago so price may well have changed), payment was to be made on the day. The party organiser brings a sticker for each of the children and as parent I had to write their names on in biro this seemed quite fruitless as the chances...

Jingle Away with Jo Jingles

Advantages: Child gains lots of development thru the music and concentration and instruments
Disadvantages: Classes can get busy and may be too expensive

...***I know this is meant to be about a website but it's more the classes that I wanted to talk about so please rate on my opinion not the category it is under*** I remember my friend telling me that once again her Mother in Law had found something for her to do with her daughter. She told me about Jo Jingles a music class. I remember spluttering into my juice and imagining all these parents having to take part in dancing etc. Then when the Edinburgh Fringe brochure was released, I noticed Jo Jingles wad doing a show. I arranged to go with my Sister in Law and my Friend who was used to it. The show was quite surprising. It had the Theme of Jo goes to the Farm. Well Jo is a doll who enjoys music and participates with the help of the leader of the class. We sang lots of songs and did lots of participation in songs to do...

Review of Jo Jingles

Jo Jingles - Well he does in my son's eyes!

Advantages: Great fun with music and dancing - but educational too
Disadvantages: Could be expensive for some people

...Six months ago, my son made a new little friend. He has a mop of yellow hair, wears little yellow trousers, a little red jumper and his name is Jo. But Jo is no ordinary kid. Oh no. Jo has got his very own music, singing and movement class, which my 2 year old absolutely loves. It is for this reason that Matthew and I would like to share with you the reasons why our Thursday mornings are always something to look forward to. >>>A Little Background Information on Jo Jingles<<< Jo Jingles caters for children between the ages of six months up to five years. The aim of the group is to help little ones develop various skills such as language, numeracy and physical co-ordination through music, song and movement. It also encourages the children to interact with others of the same age...

Requiem for a dealer by Jo Bannister

Advantages: Good plot, very well written and good characterization
Disadvantages: Brodie indicision with her two men

...Jo Bannister has written 20 acclaimed novels. Her specialism is crime thrillers, of which this is a good example of her work. This novel features Brodie Farrell, Daniel Hood and Jack Deacon. Her writing is always crisp and very descriptive. Allowing you to feel you are involved in the mystery and feel empathy with some of the characters.(Certainly the 3 main ones anyway!) Through her writing you could clearly understand and see the key characters point of view and you were constantly wondering how they would react to the new developments in the case. The story starts with Daniel Hood being given a driving lesson from his good friend Brodie Farrell. When a girl dashes out across the road and is stuck by their vehicle. The hysterical girl Alison Barker claims he is trying to kill her.Much to their utter disbelief. And then...

Lets play Poker with Lee Stafford!

Advantages: Works!
Disadvantages: None at all for me!

...Boots will be the end of me! I seriously must ban myself from going! Just lately I've done so much shopping in there as I've been getting vouchers for £2.00 off certain branded products. I've took advantage of this to the maximum and bought loads of stuff in the hope it will be better cos it's stuff from the higher end of the market than the usual stuff I pick up in the pound shop (whatever is there!). I'm not a big fan of hair products and usually wear one at a time so appreciate a good one lol! This product, Lee Stafford Poker Straight Flat Iron Protection Mist stood out to me cos I always use heat protection spray if nothing else on my hair when styling it but this offered to help me straighten as well as protect and my goodness do I need every bit of help I can get! My hair is straight and flat at the root, has a fluffy mid...

Review of Lee Stafford Poker Straight Flat Iron Protection Shine Mist

"Have fun, look wicked and smell BEAutiful" Lee Stafford

Advantages: Actually works :)
Disadvantages: Will run out one day :(

...Lee Stafford Poker Straight DeHumidifier This is a small pink bottle of spray for your hair. After you have straightened your hair you spray this on it and it stops your hair from frizzing / curling and stops your hair being affected by the humidity, which can make people's hair go really frizzy sometimes. The bottle this comes in is a hot pink bottle with a transparent pink lid. The text on the bottle is shiny white and overall I think the bottle design for this product is attractive and cool, very nice looking. The bottle contains 50ml, or you can buy a bigger bottle with 200ml. On the bottle it says "HeLPS KeeP YOUR beautiFULL HAIR POKER STRAIGHT when the humid Air wants it to FRIZZZZZZZZZZZZ" I came across this spray one day when I was looking for straightening products in Boots a while ago. I saw this and its low...

Stafford Captains Chair..Form over Function

Advantages: Looks Good
Disadvantages: Poor Ergonomic Design

...Stafford Captains Chair A case of Form over Function I was looking for a new office chair for my home office, my old none specific brand chair that cost me about £35 over 10 years ago had finally ceased to function as well as it used to, and function it did superbly in every respect. I wanted a wooden type chair that would blend more appropriately with the other dark wooden features of my office, desk, plan chest, shelving etc. and wanted to stay clear of the more modern sleek type of chair. There appears to be very few wooden office chairs out there within a sensible budget but I came across the Stafford Captains Chair at Tesco Direct for £116.47 Features: Arms Finish Wood lacquered Assembly Self assembly Chair Finish Upholstered Chair Type Swivel Colour Dark Chocolate Features of Product Solid wood. Leather upholstered seat pad...

Lee Stafford - Protection Missed

Advantages: Nice smell and shine
Disadvantages: It doesn't work...

...After recently buying some new straighteners, which went up to the terrifying heat of 190°C, I thought it would be a good idea to purchase some kind of protection spray for my hair. I wanted to try and minimise the damage done to my hair by the straighteners, as no matter what the manufacturers say, there?s no possible way that using ceramics is actually good for your hair. Browsing in Boots, I decided upon the Lee Stafford Poker Straight Flat Iron Protection Shine Mist for £4.99. This decision was based upon it being a nice smelling product and the only other one that was anything like what I wanted was a Charles Worthington product, and I hate Charles Worthington products. *** The Packaging *** For me, I really couldn?t give two hoots about what something looks like. Half the time my stuff is being carted from my house to...
