Fisher Price Space Saver High Chair

Advantages: fits onto a chair, portable, padded , great from birth
Disadvantages: none

...This is such a fantastic chair! It fits on your existing chairs but can be moved easily too, ie going to other people's houses etc. My little boy even had a space at a wedding table thanks to this chair! It's suitable for birth onwards as it reclines back well so it is a safe place to keep the baby while in the kitchen. It can tuck well into the table with the tray off so that your little one can be part if it all. It is comfy, supportive, cheap compared to others and has no awful huge legs sticking out!!! When the baby has finished, the arms tilt enough to tuck it into the table. It then converts to a booster seat for toddlers. This chair is fab! Hard to find where it's sold but worth looking for it. The best baby product we've bought and now being used by baby number 2! Please note that I've put satisfactory for storage as this...

Review of Fisher Price Space Saver High Chair

Spaced

Advantages: Genius comedy
Disadvantages: None!

...There was a time when Simon Pegg wasn't appearing in bad Star Trek films and starring in exceptional sitcoms which he had a big hand in writing - this is Spaced. Now starting to edge over the ten years old mark, Spaced was a sitcom regarding two strangers (played by Pegg and Jessica Stevenson) who meet in a greasy spoon café, and figure out they both need somewhere to live, despite barely knowing each other. They move into a two bedroom flat owned by the creepy landlady Marsha and then the tales begin. The two series predominantly feature storylines regarding Pegg and Stevenson's characters - Tim Bisley and Daisy Steiner - but there are other characters heavily featured. Tim's best friend Mike (played by Pegg's good friend Nick Frost who stars in the likes of Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead) is a 'weapons enthuasiast' and plays...

Review of Spaced (Definitive Collector's Edition) (DVD)

Space saving time saver.

Advantages: AAA rated, looks good, easy to use, reliable
Disadvantages: An expensive brand, not really for families, quite slow.

...I am a relatively recent convert to dishwashers and had never had one until I moved overseas three years ago and found that one came with my rented house. Very quickly I realised that I would be unable to live without it and so a dishwasher was an essential purchase when I moved back to the UK and bought my own house last year. The kitchen in the new house only had space for a slim line dishwasher and although we put in a new kitchen anyway a few months later, I decided that a slim line would be more than adequate for a family of two. My other main shopping criteria concerned the look; I wanted something in stainless steel as I dislike white kitchen appliances. This limited my options to a very small handful of dishwashers and in the end I decided on the SMEG as not only is it AAA rated (relating to Energy rating, Wash performance...

SPACE 1999

Advantages: Fun Sci-Fi
Disadvantages: Quite dated

...SPACE 1999 = Here we are again with another memorable sci-fi series from Gerry and Sylvia Anderson whose other 'Hits' included Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds and UFO. Space 1999 was set on the Moon where a Moon base has been built and nuclear waste from the Earth was stored, but things are not well and soon the nuclear waste explodes blowing the moon out of earths orbit and sets it on a course out of the solar system. The series then follows the crew left alive the Alpha moon base as the travel around the universe and as they meet many strange aliens and come across other civilizations and weird planets. The program aired from 1975 - 1977 and actually only lasted for 2 series but with 24 episodes in each series it seemed to go on for a lot longer. The crew consisted of some well known...

Let's See If We Can SAVER (S) a few pence or not

Advantages: Some Cheap Goods
Disadvantages: Not always the cheapest | Very Bleak Shop | Long Queues

...I'm always on the look out for ways to save a few pennies, as I was brought up that if you look after the pennies the pounds will look after themselves. So when I hunt out my basic toiletries, or even creating gift hampers, I'll always look for the cheapest place to buy them. For the last couple of years, one of my regular stops has been Savers, which is a funny sort of shop, that seems to be a cross-between the local chemist and Boots (only without a pharmacy). And now I'm going to tell you what I like (and don't) about the shop?. ---The Location--- The store I visit is located in Basildon, in the Town Square next to Dixons and not far from Boots. I'm not sure if this location was deliberately planned, to catch those who have just paid Boots' rather higher prices, or whether it was just the only available unit at the time. In...

Review of Savers (Shop)

Redefining Contemporary the Savers way

Advantages: Wide range of products and brands
Disadvantages: Cheap and not so cheerful

...I spend a lot of my time visiting shops and assessing them (in a vain attempt not have to work in one) in order to fund the ever increasing costs of my education. (So far, its been relatively unsuccessful but if I had a penny for every time I had said ?Why am I doing this?? with regards my education then I?m sure I could fund it easily!) That?s why I tend to avoid writing about shops for Ciao. Most of the time, I?m so sick of them that I couldn?t muster the enthusiasm to write about them. . However there is one particular shop that I?ve been hearing a lot about and have recently discovered myself is well worth a visit. The store in question is Savers Heath and Beauty, a growing force in the toiletries market, with over 190 stores in the UK and further plans for expansion. It has been trading since 1988 (previously just under...

Review of Savers (Shop)

Savers - saves time and money

Advantages: Low prices, quite extensive range
Disadvantages: None

...When yet another shop closed down in Harlow town centre everyone assumed that we were going to be blessed with yet another cheap mish mash shop that sold nothing in particular and nothing of use to man or beast, but we were wrong. Although the sign was the first thing to be put up and behind blanked out windows men were busy at work refurbishing the shop I was still none the wiser as I had not come across a Savers shop before, and so the agonising wait went on. After what seemed months of walking past this new so-called Savers shop waiting for a peep in the window to see what they would have to offer someone like me the opening day came and in we all piled. Soon it was clear, Savers was here to serve us our daily supplies of toiletries, household cleaning products, baby bits and bobs, behind the counter perfumes and photograph...

Wide Open Spaces

Advantages: Great first album, good introduction to country
Disadvantages: None

...Wide Open Spaces If you?re looking for a great starter country album then look no further than Wide Open Spaces by The Dixie Chicks. It?s a great introduction if you have never really listened to country before and are not really a fan of the old classics yet, like Dolly Parton, etc, but want to experience a bit of the blue grass, country and that whole scene and get into the music. This album offers you upbeat, toe tapping, yee-hawing, classic story telling country with a new modern, sexy twist. The Dixie Chicks is made up of three females, Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines and Emily Robison. They are the highest grossing female band in the US, selling over 36 million albums as of March 2009! They actually formed in 1989 with a different formation but did not release their debut album, Wide Open Spaces, until 1998. They have...

Review of Wide Open Spaces - Dixie Chicks

Spaced out comedy

Advantages: Superb sitcom and brilliantly written
Disadvantages: Some of the comedy a bit too 'out there'

...UK sitcom Spaced was originally aired on Channel 4 back in 1999 but has recently made a return 10 years later on Dave which has prompted me to review the dvd i bought a few years back but just had to watch again recently. I was probably one of the many people who missed Spaced the first time round but due to the success of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Simon Pegg in general, i was intrigued to watch some of stuff that had previously ignored. Im glad to say i wasnt disapointed! PLOT - Tim and Daisy are two twenty somethings who are both looking for a flat in London, they meet by chance in a cafe and agree that it would be very hard to survive on their own let alone be given a flat to rent, therefore they come up with the plan to pretend they are a professional couple to get into rented accomodation. They learn all about each...

The space game

Advantages: Good acting and great story that is full of adventure
Disadvantages: None

...I remember watching Jumanji years back in 1995 and at the time being younger thinking 'Wow!' I was completely blown away by it and thought how clever an idea it was and how well made it was - it was so exciting every time they took a turn and you were wondering what was going to appear! When I heard that a film called Zathura was to be released back in 2006 I was intrigued as could it really live up to Jumanji - after all it was titled 'Zathura - A space adventure' and had the tagline 'from the world of Jumanji'. So it was obviously being marketed as the next and more modern Jumanji but could it really be as good? The story: Two squabbling brothers, Danny and Walter end up playing an old game found in their basement out of boredom when their Dad leaves their older sister Lisa, in charge whilst he goes to work. Before they realise...
