Location, Location is an informative property programme

Advantages: Gives you lots of ideas that you cant possibly afford to carry out!
Disadvantages: None

...heard offering some soothing words to a frazzled Kirstie. One thing that has always puzzled me is Kirsties determination to keep her black mac wrapped tightly around her, more often than not it is tied like a sack in the middle! In many of the programmes the sun has appeared to be shining and there is Kirstie sweating it out in her black belted garb. Phil always seems to favour the casual approach, the slacks, the open necked shirt and the favourite old jacket. It is always interesting when they meet the prospective house buyers for the first time, you can immediately sense whether there will be an instant rapport or whether some animosity may well creep in at some point within the next hour. The couple who are searching for a new property in a new location to offer them the lifestyle that they crave. Sometimes the couple are...

Sweet Sound Echo Location

Advantages: Chill out music, Good Value CD
Disadvantages: Not widely known of, not always available in high st shops

...Some of my best buys have come about completely by accident and this is another. I came across Honeyroot in July 2004, a month after their debut album; Sound Echo Location was released on the Just Music label. I was actually looking to buy a CD for a friend's birthday, a Jon Hopkins CD, none were in stock so I took a listen to the sample tracks available and I was mesmerised..... Honeyroot were founded by ex-Heaven 17 (Temptation, We Don't Need This Fascist Grove Thing) front man Glenn Gregory & ex-ABC member, Keith Lowndes. Now, you'd have thought with both of these contentious characters any music that was as a result of a musical partnership, would be heavily influenced by the 80's music scene, you couldn't be more wrong. Imagine lying on a beach in Ibiza (or similar clubbers paradise), imagine a night filled with clubbing...

Review of Sound Echo Location - Honeyroot

Where is your ideal location, location, location?

Advantages: Phil is very funny, great to nosy around peoples houses.
Disadvantages: Kirstie's moaning can get a bit much.

...Location Location Location is hosted by Kirstie Allsopp & Phil Spencer and is shown on miscellaneous days at miscellaneous times on More 4 and Channel 4. The show meets couples, relatives or friends who want to buy a property. Phil & Kirstie will get together with them and discuss their requirements such as how many bedrooms are required & which area they would like to live in or near. They will also find out the budget they have and sometimes Phil & Kirstie will work together to find properties and other times they will go head to head and both try and find the dream property that will be picked at the end by the participants. There are quite often people with difficult demands or unrealistic requirements such as 10 acres of land in a town location and this regularly drives Kirstie mad. Kirstie is very vocal to these people...

Locate to Channel 4

Advantages: Interesting viewing
Disadvantages: I'm not even a first time buyer yet!

...?Presenters? Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer one of the most famous onscreen couples on television today. Kirstie and Phil are both professional property hunters and aspire to help others full-fill their property dreams. On what at times can be a very tight budget. They both have other property related ventures away from the television set. Kirstie has her own 'moving sense' brand which is a fragranced candle to use if you're trying to sell your house. Phil writes for a very luxurious magazine 'lusso luxury'. Giving readers advice about anything property related. The magazine is only £4.40 so what are you missing??

Location cubed

Advantages: Entertaining, lots of useful tips and advice
Disadvantages: None

...Property shows are very popular right now and are loads out there: A Place In The Sun, Property Ladder, House Auction, Selling Houses, Relocation Relocation Relocation, and my favourite, Location Location Location, which is the predecessor of Relocation x3. Each show, Phil Spencer and Kirstie Allsopp help aspiring homeowners find their ideal home. They organise viewings to four different properties, in the hope of finding their dream house, and Phil and Kirstie dish out useful tips and advice on buying a house along the way. This sounds very simple, boring in fact, but believe me, it's not! There are a million and one property shows around right now, but this is one of the originals and definitely the best. If you're planning on buying your first home, then this will be invaluable. The tips and snippets of information from these...

Location, Location, Location

Advantages: Good tips on what to do when purchasing a house
Disadvantages: :Dislike the word 'crash pad' (which is used quite often)

...I really like Location, Location, Location. The current series is on Channel 4 at 8pm every Wednesday. The presenters Phil and Kirsty help 2 sets of potential buyers look for a house each week. Phil and Kirsty work really well together and have great chemistry. I like the way Kirsty has become more outspoken as each series progresses. She doesn't hold back if the clients are being difficult. I find it harder to relate to the programmes when the person/couple has a budget of £600,000, but I really enjoy the programmes with a lower budget. I think they really work well with first time buyers and are quite patient with them. It also gives the viewer a chance to see the house prices across the UK and Ireland and what you can get for your money. They also give some useful tips on what to look for when you are purchasing a house...

Top of the shops.............

Advantages: see above
Disadvantages: see above

...Advantages: Loads of stuff available, good prices Disadvantages: can get busy at christmas time so much so people abandon their shopping I am a huge Asda fan, it's where I do most of my shopping and I know where everything is which makes it easier when dragging 3 kiddies along with you! In my local Asda we have a photo centre, cafe, George, electricals, homewear, toys, bakery, pizzaria, rottisary (chicken place lol), fresh meats counter and all the usual foody aisles plus we have a petrol station, cash machines and bus stop. It's the largest shopping store we have although we do have a Tesco, Lidl, Aldi, Co-Op, Farm Foods and Iceland. I have never had a bad experience with Asda and the stock is usually replenished quite quickly! They have such a huge range that I know I can do my weekly shop and more there. Everything...

Review of Asda (Shop)

shopping heaven

Advantages: great bargains
Disadvantages: queues

...Primark is one of the greatest shops that i find that every time i go in there you can guarantee that i will come out having brought something. When you go into Primark you are guaranteed that you will always find a bargain and at the fraction of the cost of any other shops. Primark has come on in leaps and bounds over the years it stocks a greater range of items that are more in line with the fashions of today and at a great price. A few years ago i would never have even thought to go to Primark, but as they finally put one in my local town centre i always have a look for a bargain. Primark stocks everything from ladies, mens , childrens and homeware. In the ladies section you will find shoes, bags, jewellery, t shirts, lingerie, jeans, trousers, skirts, jumpers, jackets and night wear. In the mens sections you have jeans...

Review of Mystery Shopping

Shopping with Teenagers

Advantages: Sells every item of clothing possible
Disadvantages: Busy at peak times

...Clothes shopping is never an easy task when you have kids in tow. It doesn?t matter if they?re toddlers, young or teenagers, they are still a pain in the proverbial backside when you?re trying to look round the shops and I can guarantee that my teenage son will be moaning and groaning within half an hour when we go shopping. Back in the Summer we decided to brave the busy Ipswich shopping centre, the prime motive to get the kids kitted out for the new school term. After we?d paid the perfunctory visit to the school clothing department in Debenhams we set off down the street to have a wander round the shops. I was absolutely amazed then my son stopped outside Primark and suggested we had a look inside. Teenagers are renowned for wanting designer labels aren?t they? I propelled him inside quick as a flash, before he could see...
