Wake UP Wake UP!!!

Advantages: Central hostel
Disadvantages: Don't get much sleep

...The Wake Up Hostel had been recommended to me by my friends at Gap Year.com. I booked my bed well in advance as I was spending my 2 weeks in Sydney over Christmas and New Year. I have to say I was very pleased with the price over this festive period as a lot of other hostels and accommodation decided to bump up prices and take advantage of the stranded unorganised backpackers. PRICES: 10 bed dorm $28 a night, 8 bed dorm $30 a night, 6 bed dorm $34 a night and 4 bed dorm $36 a night. ROOMS: I have to say my first impressions where not great, I walked into the room and gasped! Not an inch of floor space could be seen, I didn't even have room to put my bag down. Rubbish was everywhere, I suppose for 14 bed dorm it was to be expected but I have to admit it was quite a shock. I decided to go down to reception and say...

Waking up with Wogan

Advantages: entertaining
Disadvantages: terry has a lot of holidays

...There's only one man who can wake me up at 7:30 in the morning and not expect to get a smack in the mouth(!) and Terry Wogan is the man for the job. From Monday to Friday you can expect to hear Terrys irish tones warming up for the total of 2 hours as he talks about pretty much anything. Throughout that time Terry and his fellow 'underlings or numpties' read out emails and answer phonecalls from listeners. They always seem to use fake names, this morning there was a 'bearded bandit' commenting about heavy traffic in some place. There is also news and traffic bulletins every half hour and the usual banter being thrown about all over the place. There are two main newsreaders which he appears to get on with the most, Alan Dedicoat and Fran Godfrey and then there's another lady known as The Traffic Totty, Lynn Bowles. These people aren...

A Lemon Wake Up Call

Advantages: Good value for money, foams up well
Disadvantages: Smell not as good as others in range

...Recently when shopping for shower gels I saw that Tesco was doing an offer on Imperial Leather shower gels where you could get 4 for £3, they normally sell at £1 each so it?s a good offer. Never one to resist a bargain I choose four different varieties and have been slowly working my way through them. The current one in my bathroom is the Imperial Leather Wake Up Shower Gel. This is meant to be an invigorating scent to get you going in the morning and is Bitter Lemon and Ginger. The shower gel comes in a wavy clear bottle which allows you to see the lovely yellow shower gel and see when it is getting low. The bottle has a yellow flip open lid to easily dispense the shower gel and it holds 250ml. The gel has bitter lemon which they say is a fresh and zingy detoxifier enriched with Vitamin C. Not sure that any of that vitamin C...

Wake Up Sleepy Head!

Advantages: Lovely shiny book
Disadvantages: none

...***Background*** Debi Gliori is probably better known for her Pure Dead series of books than her picture books even though she has written and illustrated dozens of them. Her book Mr Bear won her a Children's Book Award and there are many other in that particular series to delight young children. Born in Glasgow, Debbie went to Art College in Edinburgh before travelling and then settling in Scotland to have her 5 children. She is therefore well equipped for knowing what kids like. ***The Story*** This rhyming story tells of a rabbit's time playing in the snow. Whilst animals like the mice and bear are sleeping, he wakes up to find the world outside is white and can't wait to get out to have some fun. "Grab a jacket, scarf and gloves! Winter's what this rabbit loves. Little footprints in the snow, Hurling snowballs...

'Wake Up' and Smell the Orange!

Advantages: Orange, fresh fragrance. Price. It's popular with the whole family.
Disadvantages: A Tesco 'Only ' product.

...I had become keen on the idea of having a handwash in the kitchen, as being the room where food is prepared; obviously keeping my hands clean is a top priority. In the past I?ve used a bar of soap on a saucer, but quite often this has turned into a magnet for muck and germs, which defeated the whole object really. So having a convenient and hygienic method for keeping my hands clean, made a lot of sense to me. A little over two weeks ago, I came across Tesco?s ?Wake Up? orange handwash, which initially caught my eye, due to its bright orange colour, and attractive packaging. Priced at £1.09 for 300ml, which I didn?t think seemed too bad; I decided there and then to give it a go. I?ve always been fond of citrus smells, as I think they convey an added freshness, and always remind me of summer. This ?Wake Up? handwash is contained...

Wake Up It's A Beautiful Morning!

Advantages: Lovely Smell
Disadvantages: A Little Difficult To Open

...Imperial Leather Wake Up is the name of just one type of Shower Gel within a range by Imperial Leather that I have recently purchased. These products are now made by Cusson's which is a well known brand in its own right, but Imperial Leather has a long, rich history that goes right back to 1768 when a Russian nobleman, called Count Orlof, visited the famous London perfumers, Bayleys of Bond Street. During this visit Count Orlof challenged them to create a fragrance that embodied the distinctive aroma of the Russian Imperial Court. The result was a new perfume called 'Eau de Cologne Imperiale Russe', which the Count presented to Catherine the Great on his return to Russia. This quickly became the favoured fragrance of the Russian Royal House. Two and a half centuries later Imperial Leather is a world famous brand. Amongst its most...

Wake Up Wogan

Advantages: Makes me laugh in the morning
Disadvantages: Takes too many holidays!!

...I'm not sure if I'm a Tog or a Tyg nowadays, but I do know that I love this show in the morning. One of my biggest fears is the fact that one day, Terry will retire and the show just won't be the same. The show's called Wake Up to Wogan, and it's on Monday to Friday 7.30am to 9.30am. Terry has underlings working with him on the show: Pauly is the show's long suffering producer, and then each week one of three newsreaders provides the listener with the news and travel bulletins. These rotate between Fran (me, me, me, me, me), Alan Deddicoat - also known as Dedly and partial to a ham sandwich and the odd case of Pinot Grigio, and John Marsh, who's also known as Boggy and has a penchant for garden sheds. The show is written by the listeners: the Togs or Tygs. The Togs are Terry's Old Geezers, and the Tygs are Terry's Young Geezers...

Wake Me Up Again Maxwell House

Advantages: Delicious, numerous varieties, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: None known

...I'm laughing as I sit down to write this opinion. You see, I had suggested Maxwell House ground coffee as a product on which to write. The title of my opinion was going to be "Wake Me Up, Maxwell House." However, Ciao has now given Maxwell House coffee the product name: Wake Me Up Maxwell House. Why am I not surprised? Ciao seems to have gone pear-shaped lately! To get on with the opinion itself, I'd like to start by saying that I am a coffee lover. I like Expresso, Cappucino, Latte, and literally all types of coffee. In the morning, however, it's strictly the regular ground coffee that I make in my Mr. Coffee that gets me off to a rip-roaring start and ready to face the day. Maxwell House has long been a favorite in this country. It's an old standby that my grandmother used when I was just a child....so, that should tell...

"This is a wake-up call!"

Advantages: gripping, attractive, easy to follow, suitable for all
Disadvantages: Not everybody's idea of a good read!

...it is no longer in production, it is still popular. Each episode takes us on a fascinating journey into the young witch's life, where we see her attempt to cope with being both a witch and a teenager at the same time; a task that seems terrifying! Plot ------ It's April Fools' Day and Salem tricks Sabrina into thinking that her Aunts are going to give her a mobile phone. When she finds out that this was just a mean trick, she feels even more gutted about not owning the latest technology, and signs a deal with an elf from the Other Realm to accept a weeks' free trial with an Other Realm phone. Unfortunately, no magic is straightforward; there's always a catch! Sabrina's phone rings contstantly, and with every answer, she is greeted by a "This is a wake-up call!" When she realises that this is in actual fact a 'wake-up call' to make her...

Wake Up and NO COFFEE????

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Noisy, cramped, no aircon, noise noise noise!

...Through no fault of my own, I was forced to find a hotel for one night last week - well I could have gone home, but I knew that all that was waiting for me was a bloody great row with my mum, so I thought I'd rather spend the night somewhere else. I surfed around on the net to see what was the cheapest available, and managed to find the website for this youth hostel called Wake Up! London, which boasted prices of as little as £18 per person per night. Plus it was the only one which would allow me to book a room for the same night, other hotels would only let me book at least a day in advance or pay a hefty premium. The website has lots of pictures of people looking really happy, and nice clean, modern looking rooms. My opinion on this later. So I booked a Private Double Room with En Suite Shower, for £46 (the BF kindly offered...
