Advantages: 2 years on the site, and I've enjoyed pretty much every minute of it Disadvantages: Ciao gremlins, Ciao surveys and some problems with members
...When coming up with something to write for my 250th review I was stumped, even with the help of some brilliant friends on the site, I still had no idea what to write. I even started to write a review for the Product of the Month and call this my 250th review, as this is the best summer I?ve ever had, however it just didn?t seem to work. That review was written and discarded to the side. I then began to think, I have never written a review about my time on the site. With it being my 2nd year anniversary on the site recently, why haven?t I done this review before I kept on asking myself? I hope it?s good and I hope you enjoy it.
As I couldn?t decide what to write, I did end up writing two reviews, both of which turned out alright, so this is Part 1 of my 250th review.
Why I joined Ciao?
Back in the day when Ciao surveys...

Review of My Ciao'ing
Advantages: Flows nicely, good variety of moves, intensive Disadvantages: It's not really very fun unless you like exercising
...I bought My Fitness Coach for two reasons. The first was due to the fact that despite being thin, I've lost a lot of my toning and thought the summer holidays would be a good time to try and get it back. The second was that it was £9.99 online, and for that price I figured it didn't matter if I only ended up playing it once or twice!
Let's talk about my approach to fitness. This is easy: I don't have one. I walk to university every day and I, uh, walk around the house. I truly hate exercising. I had gym membership for six months and used it about three times during that time. I own Wii Fit, but lost interest in it fairly quickly.
My Fitness Coach is not a game, and it does not pretend to be. It is much more of a serious approach to exercise than Wii Fit is. Unless you are the sort who genuinely enjoys exercise (in which case...
Advantages: Neighbours & Strangers Talk. A Day Off Work. Fun In The Snow. Disadvantages: I hate snow! I Pay For Lunch. No Busses Running.
...ALTERNATIVE TITLE: THE DAY THE SNOW CAME
"In my back yard?"
Well yes indeed, very much so. After all, once snow plays havoc with the local and national transport system one really has little option but to discover, or in some cases re-discover, exactly how big ones back yard is and just what it contains that may be of use or general interest.
On Monday, 2nd February 2009, much of the South East of England ground to a slippery, shivery, freezing white halt. During the week that followed most of the rest of the country too experienced what we now regard as "freak" weather conditions. Rather amusingly I thought, the Met Office website was forecasting a further "significant weather event" for Friday of the same week, here on the Sussex coast that turned out to be no more "significant" than a heavy downpour of rain.
Many older...

Review of My Back Yard
Advantages: cheap, moisturises,removes makeup easily Disadvantages: None from me or my family
...Shopping for me recently has become a little game which I play, I try to see if I can lower my bill each time I go, this week I managed to make a big saving by buying Tesco?s baby lotion instead of Johnsons and saved over £1 by doing so!
~~THE BOTTLE~~
The bottle is a nice light pink colour and has the title of the product on the front with a cartoon type picture of a smiling baby?s face. There is also a few words which claim that this product is suitable for newborns and gently cleans and moisturises, paediatrician approved and hypoallergenic. The back of the bottle has a white label in the middle and here you can find the directions for use, ingredients and the Tesco promise.
~~THE PRODUCT~~
The cream is a nice light pick colour and is a nice decent consistency. It is not too runny so it does not run out of your hand...
Advantages: McFly, Lindsay Lohan Disadvantages: Much better films
...Just my luck was a film that I received as a present, I hadn?t seen it at the cinema and I hadn?t really heard anything about it until I unwrapped it. However, on first impression, it did appeal to me and it seemed like it would be my kind of film, I love chick flicks and after reading the back of the DVD case, this looked to be one. I also saw that it has Lindsay Lohan in, another good sign as she is one of my favourite actresses, having been in films that I love such as Mean Girls and Freaky Friday. I also saw that it had McFly in, starring as themselves and was glad as I had obviously heard of them and quite like some of their songs, although it was a while ago when they were really famous here.
The plot isn?t too overused, which is good because I find it boring when in teen movies they use the same plot again in different films...

Review of Just My Luck (DVD)
Advantages: Great fun, easy to play Disadvantages: Loading time, music, making furniture
...My Sims: Wii
For those of you that have not heard of the Sims before, (Have you been on Mars?), I?ll give you a quick run own but for more information check out wikipedia.
The original Sims game, simply called ?The Sims? was made by Maxis, (Now part of EA games I think), and was for the PC/Mac. It?s a ?God Game?, which means you get to control every aspect of the game and make all the decisions for your Sims. There was no plot to the original Sims, it had fully open-ended gameplay. Console versions of Sims games tend to be quite simplified and they also usually have a plot. A lot of fans of the original Sims don?t actually like the console versions because they are so different but I just enjoy them for what they are.
My Sims starts off with a story to lead you into the game. It?s quite simple; basically you move into a new town...

Review of MySims (Wii)
Advantages: She's wonderful! Disadvantages: It's taken me too long to appreciate her .
...This is really weird, I never thought of writing a review about my mama. I have written reviews about my dad and my twin sister and when I went back home the first thing I did was to show my dad and sister my reviews; my sister was very happy about it and my dad was very proud and full of joy. While my mama stood there and congratulated me for such a great piece of writing, I looked at her eyes and saw that look: it nearly killed me! I felt very guilty and couldn't sleep that night!
So I decided this time I guess I SHOULD write a review about my MAMA, especially because she has stood behind me and supported me so much recently. I have discovered that after all these years I have never really understood her correctly. I regret now having been distant from her and never having being that close. I smiled and assured her that I wouldn...
Advantages: Beautifully illustrated, spiral bound hardback memory book, good value Disadvantages: Not all sections are relevant, no specific space for scan photos, Americanisms
...As my youngest son turned two recently, we've been reminiscing about his babyhood over the past few days. Like most expectant parents, we started a baby memory book for our children even before they were born. For our second child, I chose 'My Baby's Journal' as a way of keeping a record of his early days in the world. I paid about £10 at the time, for a beautifully illustrated hardback book which is now packed full of happy memories and sentimental keepsakes.
My copy is a sturdy hardback and is spiral bound which gives it the impression of being a quality book, although it does not allow for pages to be removed and reinstated. The front cover features a photograph of various soft toys, including both a pink and a blue toy, so this is definitely a unisex book and would be equally suitable for either baby boys or girls. There are also...

Review of My Baby Journal
...With hundreds of these retro sweet stores online and yours truly in need of writing something that can't possibly offend anyone on ciao I have decided to list my A-Z of sweets for Halloween. With the increasing Americanization of this pagan holiday over here where you send your kids out to 'trick or treat', here are the sweets I would give them and some I would keep for myself. They can have the white wine gum, the Turkish Delight and the Cracknel from the Roses tin though without argument.
A is for Acid Drops
When you went around your nans on Sunday you would hear the rustle of sweets and out plonked these and the Pear Drops, the depressing world of boiled sweets. When ever I see them in the shops I think of Sunday nights, one bar on the fire and school the next day.
B is for Bazooka Joe
Its weird but when you chew gum...
Advantages: Great starter-set Disadvantages: One is not enough?
... My First Scalextric Set
Having seen the Ad on TV and Boy really desparate for one I thought this the best to go for in the way of remote control race track as at 4 he's really not old enough for a big expensive set so he got this for Christmas. Cost us £30 from Toys'r'Us though can be found in many other stores and on-line, the price is about the same everywhere but you may find it a bit cheaper.
Age on box states not suitable for under 3 years, due to small parts and functional sharp edges - we haven't found any particularly sharp bits yet ? so unsure which bits that refers to. Also tells you that new controllers may become warm and emit vapour and give off slight smell -this is normal and disappears after use. Nice !
Our first Race..
The track is easy enough to click together, to create a simple figure of eight...
