Dream on

Advantages: Delivery Time met
Disadvantages: Poor after sales service

...I went and bought a bed from Dreams shop after many times of viewing and testing out some beds. After three weeks of delivery time to wait I received my bed and this was professionally installed in the correct bedroom. Whilst I was happy with the bed mainly speaking in that the bed felt comfortable, it was the lack of after care sales service that really let Dreams down. I asked if I could have a refund or exchange of new bed which they claimed to offer hassle free return service, I was told that I had to pay an extra £500. At this point I felt overawed and outraged having paid £700 for a brand new bed to pay an extra £500 to have an exchange of bed. I felt that the level of customer service in dealing with this problem of mine to be a big let down for the company. The delivery time was stated as three weeks and they did at least...

SUI DREAMS

Advantages: gorgeous light airy exotic fragrance
Disadvantages: quite light and airy

...Sui Dreams is a perfume which was launched by Anna Sui approximately 8 years ago. As well as the perfume you can also purchase the matching bath and body products as well which help to layer and compliment the scent of the perfume. People who have dry skin and find that the scent of perfumes doesn't last particularly long on their skin would benefit from using the complimentary body lotion and or shower gel before applying the perfume as this would gave the scent a base to layer itself upon therefore increasing the longevity of the perfume fragrance. All peoples skin types are different and perfumes, body lotions, shower gels etc act differently on each individual because of the different oils in our skin. As you can see from the picture at the top of this review the bottle of Sui Dreams is supplied in a handbag shaped bottle which...

DREAMS

...Dreams Can Come True, Greatest Hits Volume 1; was a Greatest hits album which was released in 2001 by the British Pop artist Gabrielle. The album was a huge success and was one of the best selling albums to be released in 2001 and achieved 4 Platinum awards.

Review of Dreams Can Come True (Greatest Hits Vol.1) - Gabrielle

Sweet Dreams

Advantages: Good quality products at low prices
Disadvantages: Delivery men let them down

...When we decided we were moving one of the first things on our shopping list was a new bed. No disrespect to our bed it was 8 years old and has lasted quite well considering but both of us were starting to feel that our back were suffering and we weren't getting the sleep that we needed. So the day after we moved in we walked up the road to our local Dreams store to see what they could do for us. Dreams now have over 160 stores all over the UK as well as offering an online store after starting out 23 years ago and claim to be Britain's Leading Bed Specialist (for more information on Dreams visit www.dreams.co.uk). The main reason we decided to go there was because we had been recommended to look at Rest Assured mattresses by my parents and this was the closest stockist to us at just a 10 minute walk. In fact we only really went there...

Sweet dreams!

Advantages: Helpful staff and swift delivery.
Disadvantages: The added extras.

...husband has now just about had enough of getting up from what should be a peaceful nights slumber, to feel like he has gone ten rounds in the boxing ring, so putting his foot down with a firm hand he frog marched me down to our local branch of Dreams. Now I am no expert in bed buying but was more than aware of the massive sale that is currently taking place there, with most stock having 50% knocked off the original price, but still I feel dubious. We walked through the massive double automatic door and entered a beautiful, clean and fresh looking establishment, at the time we were the only customers in there and a member of staff came straight over to us, this annoyed my husband immensely but was glad when he realised the staff member just wanted to explain how the pricing sheets worked, then left us alone. We were faced with 15...

Dreams can come true

Advantages: Good price, good bed
Disadvantages: Vigilance required when taking delivery

...INTRODUCTION Before I went to buy a new bed, I did a quick search on the review sites I'm on to see what the consensus regarding Dreams was, which is the nearest place I can buy from. It wasn't good! But then I noticed that the reviews were invariably from disgruntled customers, and that the total number of reviews wasn't enough to form a decent sample size to make any fair conclusion from. Could it be that buying a bed is one of those things that people forget as soon as they're got it safely delivered, but remember if it all goes wrong? I set out to find out (and get a nice new bed). THE SHOP My local Dreams is right at the edge of Guildford town centre, and for the location has quite a big showroom, with room for 20 or so beds. It's quite well laid out into rows, so you can peruse the various options at your...

Dream On...

Advantages: Original bottle, scent is quite nice, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: A bit on the average side of scents (in my opinion), blurb on website lets it down

...a wondrous fairy tale which can come true through the magical force of believing in your dreams. Sui Dreams is believed to be an emotional energy that breeds inner strength, transforming a single fantasy into a million realities. You are then almost invited to awaken to Anna’s powerful world of possibilities… which is also a world rooted in her remarkable originality, creativity and of course, her heart. So, that’s all very well then, but Anna’s world is obviously not my world is it? And nobody has the same dreams do they? I was starting to feel a bit ‘Alice in Wonderland’ at this point, but read on anyway. After being informed that a single fantasy can transform a million realities, which may be true but I really don’t see that one perfume can work on such a grand scale I got to the true meaning...

Dream of Dream of Pink

Advantages: Feminine fragrance in attractive, practicle bottle
Disadvantages: Not very distinctive

...Dream of Pink is a female fragrance from Lacoste. I discovered it whilst trying to find a light feminine fragrance to wear everyday. I would certainly describe it as a day fragrance, I think most women prefer a more sophisticated fragrance at night. The Cost I have an Eau de Toilette in a 50ml size. It cost £18 in Boots promotion at Christmas, I have just checked one of the Perfume websites and it seems to retail at about £26 now. This seems on a par with other mid-fragrance lines. The Presentation This fragrance is presented in an attractive pink and silver box with the Lacoste logo on the front. The packaging looks very similar to the Touch of Pink range so you have to take care not to select the wrong one. The bottle is tall and elegant with a fine spray nozzle which is protected by a clear, solid perspex lid...

Review of Lacoste Dream of Pink Eau de Toilette Spray

A dream to use...

Advantages: Great quality, non greasy, easily removed, blends perfectly, not too expensive, refer to review
Disadvantages: Washes off easily (so no good for swimming etc)

...Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation The Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation is a foundation, and for those of you who aren?t familiar with make up, foundation is like the base coat you put on before anything else - most people will know this and wonder why I'm saying it, but my dad is always asking stupid questions like 'whats that mascara' when its lipgloss. Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation is one of my personal favourites, that I have been using now for about two years, or possibly more (if you count nicking blobs of my mums when I was little!). I don?t think I will ever want to give up using this foundation, as I find it perfect for me and probably the best I have tried. I would definitely recommend this foundation to anyone who doesn?t like liquid foundations or ones that can be quite greasy. I think that...

Review of Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation

A Dream Read?

Advantages: Good characters, interesting look at religion and paganism
Disadvantages: Hard to pick up unless you have read previous books in the series

..."To Dream of the Dead" is the tenth book from Phil Rickman in the Merrily Watkins series. The Merrily Watkins series began in 1998 with "The Wine of Angels" and follows the adventures of a female Church of England exorcist in Herefordshire. Although this sounds a somewhat ludicrous notion, Rickman deals with the character deftly and we find that Merrily is quite an ordinary woman with a deep spiritual side to her. Merrily deals with several issues throughout the series, such as her teenage daughter Jane's antics and her own guilt over the breakdown of her troubled marriage and the subsequent death of her husband. We also see the development of her relationship with Lol, a lonely musician. Merrily is the vicar for a small village called Ledwardine and at first meets a lot of resistance as a female and an incomer. She is also a single...
