FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Kleenex Balsam

Advantages: Soft!
Disadvantages: Expensive

...sell those?) Oh no, I buy Balsam. Their box, in shades of green, is my number one selection. A standard box will supply you with 90 3 ply tissues, each coated with a balm containing calendula. The idea is, that when youve got a cold, instead of rubbing your poor nosey with harsh tissues and making it all red and sore, causing that vile chapped nose thing which makes you look horrendous the second foundation touches it, these tissues will coat your little snout with a loving caring coating of protective balm, preventing red nose syndrome. The tissues are lovely and soft, just as a facial tissue should be, in fact, ALL tissue should be this silky and heavenly - who remembers that HORRID junior school tracing papaer style medical bog roll? How evil? When you use one of the Balsam tissues..for..wiping your nose or whatever (yum) you can...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Renapur Leather Balsam

Advantages: It does what it claims to do
Disadvantages: None

...Renapur Leather Balsam is a rare product. It is something that is on sale at shows and exhibitions up and down the country and actually works as well as the sales people claim. They will offer to polish your shoes for you. They apply a minimum amount of the Renapur Leather Balsam with a small sponge, buff it up and suddenly your shoes, whatever the colour leather, are looking as good as new. Or sometimes perhaps even better than new! Renapur Leather Balsam is a completely natural product, made form only natural ingredients. And this is important. Why? Because whilst a lot of the so-called instant shoe polishes that you can buy make the surface of the leather look shiny, they only actually make the surface of the shoe look shiny, they do nothing to "feed and nourish" the leather of the shoe, they do not penetrate the leather. That...

Martine's Musicality Magic

Advantages: Great Musical Songs.
Disadvantages: Not as good as origanal artistes.

...Martine McCutcheon's Musicality CD Who is Martine McCutcheon? Born 14th May 1976 - Hackney London - Martine trained at Italia Conti Stage School and at 15 was picked to be in girl band Milan, the toured with East 17 in 1994. It was in January 1995 they she got her big break when she was cast as Tiffany Raymond in East Enders a long running soap on BBC1.

"Desserts" by James Martin

Advantages: Good old fashioned puddings. Easy to read. Good Value
Disadvantages: Lacked the secret Pastry Chef tips I had hoped for.

..."Desserts" by James Martin is described as a 'fabulous collection of recipes from Sweet Baby James' the BBC2 TV Series. I think this book is a worthwhile purchase, particularly for those amongst us that share a sweet tooth. I adore puddings and so when I heard that James Martin was to create a TV series solely featuring puddings I was delighted. This book features the recipes from the series. It is divided into the following chapters: Introduction This sets the tone of the book as James uses the first three pages to explain the background to his love of puddings. As with many great cooks he acknowledges the influence his older relations had in giving him inspiration to cook. In particular he singles out a memory of his Gran "rubbing in" the pastry in a bowl balanced on her knees whilst watching Coronation Street. James has...

"oh God, I thought. Please , no, no more, please." Sue Martin

Advantages: A terrifying good read
Disadvantages: Would have liked the book to have carried on longer

... NO WAY HOME SUE MARTIN ?I have always said if you like Maths, get a job in a bank. If you like English???become a teacher or a journalist. If you like abusing kids?..get a job in a children?s Home.? Sue Martin ?No Way Home? I have just finished a wonderful little book, ?No Way Home? by Sue Martin. I don?t know if it is right for me to say that I ?enjoyed? it because of the subject matter, but the 272 pages flew past as I read it eagerly to see how Sue?s life progressed. This is an astonishing biography documenting the life of a young girl from when she was almost three in a children?s home up to the age of seventeen as she struggled to make a normal life for herself. I was absolutely appalled at times of some of the descriptions of her wretched life that I was gasping out loud. Sue was one of six...

Review of Alberto Balsam Sun Kissed Raspberry Shampoo

Alberto Balsam sun kissed raspberry

Advantages: see text
Disadvantages: see text

...Hey there, well firstly, I have been using this shampoo as well as herbal essences for at least 3-4 years consistantly. It's a pink shampoo that contains pro-vitamin b5 which strengthens the hair as well as extracts of juniper and chamomile. According to the bottle "t uses most of the same ingredients as more expensive brands but at a great price". (The great price thing is very true) I have tried many other varieties in that time such as vo5 shampoo, store brands, treseme, but none have given the same results as the herbal essences and alberto balsam. I have what is defined as "normal" hair and find these two shampoos give me the best results I can recall for a very long time. Which is quite good because usually the consistant use of a particular shampoo has no effect after some time. The alberto Balsam shampoo smells great...

Coombe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park

Advantages: Interesting
Disadvantages: Terrain, Cash only for many things once inside

...Coombe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park This has all the makings of a great family day out, but I will begin with negatives first. The overflow car park is in a hilly field opposite the attraction, on a busy drizzly rainy bank holiday day like the day we went, you might end up with a couple of issues trying to get your vehicle out if the weather turned into torrential rain. However there are quite a few helpful parking attendants, some driving diggers around. The attendants are however very organized in getting people parked, but you could end up a few hundred meters away from the attraction and on a grassy hill, so bare this in mind if you are coming with a pregnant wife, young children who need push chairs, or infirm elderly relative, and on a family bank holiday outing you might have all three. I am also afraid navigating...
