Sharks and sea turtles in Reef 2 :High Tide- DVD review

Half term is looming and I am faced with the prospect of a whole week with all of the children at home, almost certainly stuck indoors given the current monsoon conditions in my neck of the woods.

I know, I could pull on wellies and raincoats and go for a nice healthy (damp) yomp round the woods with them. But if you were even thinking of suggesting that you obviously have never met me in real life. I am that woman who doesn't much like walking even on the sunniest of days. The words "a", "Nice" and "walk" should never ever be put together in my opinion.

At a push I might load them into the car and take them to the local museum but on rainy days, especially in school holidays it is always rammed with soggy toddlers and harassed mothers with steamed up glasses and their best Joyce Grenfell voices on. "George. Don't do that." (Go google Joyce Grenfell if you have no clue what I'm talking about!)

So I was delighted when I was sent the l…

Decorating vintage-style with Frenchic furniture paints and finishes

My husband gets a distinctly panicked look when he sees me hunting for paint brushes. When I get the urge for a change I have been known to drastically alter colour schemes while he is at work and upcycle furniture in what I call "shabby chic style" and what he calls "painting things white or grey badly."

I first embraced the vintage chic look long before you couldn't move in gift shops for dangling woden and tin hearts and before antique shops realised if they painted old stuff in chalk paint and scattered it amongst the real antiques they would make more money.

My house is filled with now what I consider interesting things mostly in a granny chic style embracing a number of decades. I have a couple of Georgian chairs I love, some Victorian tat, and some 30's 40's and 50's bits and pieces. Complementing all of that I have some modern pieces upcycled in creams, greys and pastels.

I have a confession though. Up until now I have mostly used tester pot…

Win a cute interactive Fingerlings Baby Monkey #fingerlings

I have to confess, when I was approached about reviewing Fingerlings Baby Monkeys I said yes, partly because I thought my younger son and daughter would like them, but mostly because I thought they were really cute and wanted to play with one!
Fingerlings Baby Monkeys from WowWeeWorld love hang onto your finger and know when they’re being touched, spoken to, and even hung upside down. These perfect primate pets come to life with 40 ways to play and 50 sounds to let you know how they are feeling.

These sweet and sometimes silly critters make adorable monkey sounds and have cute blinking eyes. Their heads turn, and they have hands that grip and a curly hanging tail.
You can swing them, pet them, kiss them, AND rock them to sleep! Suitable for ages (5+). Available for £14.99rrp.

It didn't take long for my 11 year old daughter and 8 year old son to work out how to make their pink monkey Bella perform and of course inevitably their favourite trick was to make their monkey fart.
