Travelling compactly

Advantages: Folds up compactly, bright colours, use as a cot or play pen
Disadvantages: Thin mattress base

...~*~*~INTRODUCTION~*~*~ My mother in law wanted to buy a travel cot when my son was born as she will be looking after him when I go back to work. We looked around on the internet and when she saw the Graco compact she decided that was the one, she loved that it was nice and bright and thought my son would enjoy playing in there as well as sleeping. We ordered it from Kiddicare but unfortunately they have stopped selling it. I have since seen it on Amazon, Halfords and Ebay though for roughly the same prices. ~*~*~FEATURES~*~*~ -Suitable from birth to around 3 years. -It comes in a handy carry case, making it easy for travel. -The travel cot unfolds easily and I actually put it up in a couple of minutes on my first attempt. -The sides are mesh which is nice and soft for wriggly babies banging their heads, also...

Review of Graco Travel Cot

Euro Trip

Advantages: Funny Teenagers in Europe
Disadvantages: Crude, rude humour

...Euro Trip is one of those teenage movies that actually can?t help but make you laugh. It?s of a similar humour to American Pie, rude, crude and a little wrong but actually a very well made movie and in my opinion very funny. Euro Trip was released in 2004 . It stars your usual bunch of teenage actors that have swamped Hollywood in recent years. Some have gone on to make more of their careers, some haven?t done very much at all. The girl in this movie who goes to Europe is Michelle Trachtenberg and she has been in Buffy and gone on to do quite well. The basic plot of this movie tells the story of Scott Thomas and his three friend?s travels across Europe in search of his pen pal Mieke. He discovers he has feelings for her after he is unceremoniesly dumped by his college girlfriend. In quite funny scenes from the beginning...

The Time Traveller's Wife

Advantages: beautiful story, moving
Disadvantages: none

...My husband bought himself Audrey Niffenegger?s The Time Traveller?s Wife as he is a sci-fi fan. He read the book and put it on the bookshelf. After a few weeks I read a few reviews on it and discovered that we have this book so I started reading it. It was a very engaging reading I could hardly put the book down. When we heard that there will be a film based on this exciting and brilliant novel we decided to go together to the cinema to watch it. Well, I had to wait a lot until I could really watch it but it was worth waiting for it. The Time Traveller?s Wife was planned for a fall 2008 release but it was delayed until August 2009. The reason of the delay was that they had to do a reshoot and they had to wait for the meadow to look the same again and funny but for Eric Bana?s hair to grow out again. He had a role in Star Trek where he...

Review of The Time Traveller's Wife

STA Travel... Give me One Good Reason.

Advantages: Nice, friendly atmosphere.
Disadvantages: Takes ages, didn't find the cheapest options.

...Realising that I had left booking tickets to Dubai for Easter a bit late, I turned, in desparation to STA Travel. Who better than the travel agency geared specifically to students to help me get to my destination, if not in style then at least with some cash in my pocket... or so I thought! Disclaimer!! First thing's first I want to make clear that the staff were friendly and they did try and help. I also want to point out that I have only tried to use STA once. Just because things didn't work out for me doesn't mean they won't for you. I think that they might well get more popular destinations such as Australia or the US right. Anyway... I went into my nearest STA branch full of confidence. A friend had whole-heartedly recommended them and it was the recommendation of a friend I knew I could trust. I sat down in front...

Review of STA Travel

Excellent travel system

Advantages: Folding down, multifunctional
Disadvantages: Slightly heavy

...Being a first time Mum, I searched around all the high street shops for a functional and attractive travel system. Out of all the prams this one had the easiest folding down system, even tho it was slightly on the heavy side I could fold it down with 1 hand! The carry cot was great for the first 4 months fitting in to the pram snuggly as the seat folded flat (which I found alot of other prams didn't do) The car seat had a base that made it so easy to take the baby in and out of the car (no messing around with seat belts every time!) It is also very well padded, however it didnt come with cushioned protectors on the straps. When we were taking baby home for the first time, the midwife told us it needed them which were only £5 extra to buy. She's in the buggy part now which has three postions and harnesses which is great. Overall fab...

Although they're all such different characters nothing gets in the way of their friendship. Bridget is the sporty one, she is into boys and football. Carmen is the "geeky" one, she doesn't care much for her looks or been popular, and is the product of a broken home (her mum and dad are divorced). Lena is the shy...

MALU TRAVEL CHALLENGE AND ONE-LEGGED LESBIANS

Advantages: I may turn into the Sleevie
Disadvantages: I may turn into the Sleevie

...Another day, another MALU challenge but then if I don't complete it she'll beat me over the head with a can of Lowenbrau. This is absolutely my last opinion in 2003...unless I decide to write another one (he he...decisive, eh?) Of course, posting this makes me feel totally inadequate compared to that great traveller, Stevethesleeve but I'll just have to grin and bear it. Q: How many times a year do you travel? A: We haven't been abroad for a couple of years now. I keep wanting to go to Turkey but then some ba*tard terrorist comes along and starts blowing stuff up again so we opted for Dorset last year. I've been put off Turkey again for next year by recent events. My favourite sojourns are to foreign climes but the world is a dangerous place right now. Me and the missus aren't the best of flyers anyway, to be honest, with finger...

Review of Where, when, how, with whom do you travel?

Best Travel System but for how long?

Advantages: all in one solution
Disadvantages: Heavy and large when folded

...We bought the Graco Quattro Tour Travel System after looking at everything on the market comparing costs, accessories, weight etc. This travel system was for my first child so I had no previous experience to help me. The whole concept of the travel system is revolutionary; my mom was so impressed. Having the car seat/infant carrier which effectively turns the buggy into a pram and also means that your baby who has fallen asleep in the car can be effortlessly moved into the buggy, is a marvelous invention! We bought the Graco fro Babies R Us in January 2005 for £190. It came with an auto base, weather shield, foot muff and changing bag (the only thing I have had to buy additionally is a parasol). The autobase is a brilliant idea. You fix it in the car once and the infant carrier just clicks in place. No messing around...

Review of Graco Quattro Tour Travel System

A bulky travel system

Advantages: Big Shopping basket, Suitable until baby wants to walk, Great for Ramming people out of the way (joke)
Disadvantages: Very Heavy, Bulky and Hard to find somewhere to put the pushchair when not using it.

...I bought this travel system because i thought it looked good, boy was i wrong. Ever since i brought it i hated but my partner wouldnt let me take it back because he liked it. -Car Seat- My son never liked the car seat so it didnt get used much. It scrunched him up to much and even though they say you can use it until the baby is 29lbs my son would fit in it when he got to 20lbs. The only good thing about the car seat was that it was easy to fit into a car and onto the pushcchair to make it a travel system. -Pushchair- As i said above my son didnt like it in the carseat so i had to put him in the pushchair from about 2weeks old, this pushchair is ment to be suitable from birth. The strap did not fit properly so many times i found that my son had wriggled out from them, this is not good especially when you start having your...

Review of Graco Quattro Tour Travel System

One sexy Net Book!!

Advantages: Small for travelling, Fast, Stylish, Great Battery, Webcam Built in.
Disadvantages: No Cd Drive:(

...Hello everyone and welcome to this review. Well... Unfortunately my old HP laptop had reached the end of its life; it was time to get a new one. Im surprised that it lasted as long as it did considering the amount of times I drop my laptops. After researching on the web for a while I got a bit confused, there were so many laptops available and there were many good and bad reviews on each, I really did not know what to think. So, a trip to Comet was in order, I just wanted to pick one that looked nice and had okay features. If it was bad I always had the 28 day Comet return policy available, after all I would only lose around £10 for a repacking fee if the laptop was not for me. I would just have to make sure I don't drop it! To Comet I went and right at the front of the store was an advertisement of a net book. It was...
