A couple of weeks ago, I received a selection of NÖM Naturally yoghurts for review. (For the record, I always like to be sent free stuff – especially if that free stuff is edible!)
Unfortunately, the week they arrived I was still recovering from a nasty cold with an evil sore throat and completely deactivated [...]

Okay, I’ve been trying not to get swept up in Swine Flu Fever, but quite frankly the level of hysteria has reached ridiculous proportions.
The media, of course, has reacted with big red headlines about the KILLER DISEASE and vastly over-inflating ‘victim’ figures to get the most public interest. People, more people died in road [...]

Akra laughed when I wrote yesterday that the Twilight DVD was “a little disappointing” as he pointed out that I’d complained through most of it. However, before I get too far into the film’s weaknesses I should first point out what the film did well, in the spirit of fairness.
(Note, for the purposes of [...]

I wasn’t sure what to use my Audible credit on this month, so I picked the unabridged version of Twilight, interested to see what all the fuss was about.
It seems to be a rather love/hate sort of book for most reviewers, those who disliked it complain that all the characters seemed to do [...]

Those of you who are still following the comments on the Mooncup Review I wrote over five years ago (otherwise known as “The post that will not die” … 287 comments and rising even after all this time!

I have recently been on a computing course at Akra Jr’s school – its purpose is to help parents get up to speed with what their children are doing in class, but my goal was to find out why Akra Jr was loving using computers at home, but saying he didn’t enjoy ICT classes.
It’s been [...]

This was the question asked on the Today programme this morning. I didn’t hear the actual piece as we’d woken late and were running behind, but the word “Blogger” was said in a manner that rhymed with “Scum”, so I can guess the conclusion.
The question in detail was would you trust a blogger’s opinion [...]

As promised, I’m going to do a quick review of the Apollo goLITE M2 – the light therapy box I chose to treat my SAD symptoms.
When I was looking for a light box, I found it really confusing – there are so many different claims out there, different types and brightnesses. You [...]

Mollie has reminded me that I have forgotten to give you all an update on how my light therapy has been going. My apologies for that, Mollie and others who wondered when I was going to get around to it. There’s rather a lot to put into one post, so what I am [...]
