A lady from BBC Worldwide contacted me last week and asked if I’d like to review the Kerwhizz Magazine, Erin loves the show on Cbeebies so I was interested to see what she’d make of it.
Most magazines we’ve bought up until now have been a bit of a waste of money. Erin hardly ends up doing any of the activities and it ends up strewn around her bedroom floor where I inevitably end up standing on the obligatory plastic toy that decorates the front cover, resulting in much almost …

We were invited a couple of weeks ago to build a bear, Erin was beside herself and had already planned out several outfits for her bear-to- be before we’d even got there. Lovely Yasmin took us through the whole experience which started with a little introduction and the chance to choose an unstuffed animal or bear.

Off to the stuffing machine and more choices, first how hard or soft to have her chosen rabbit, what type of heart to place inside her, and to voicebox or not to voicebox. …

O.K. I admit it, I didn?t go to see Avatar in 3D. I didn?t even see it in the cinema. I watched it when my friend loaned me his Blu-Ray. I couldn?t deal with the hype of it all, it pushes me away from movies rather than towards them.
So I settled down with high hopes from this technologically groundbreaking movie and wasn?t disappointed??with the technology. The movie part on the other hand was a different story all together, or not as the case may be!
There is no …

Chippidy Doo Daa’s
And they be good These little pitta chip snacks are a taste sensation, no word of lie, run to the shops now NOW I tell you (I reccommend the salt and vinegar or chilli flavours)

Snack a Doodle’s
Great name but I’m afraid they fell short in the flavour department. Reminded me of snack a jacks which I don’t like either.

Reebok Easytones
Sceptical, moi? Well yes I was actually. Trainers that firm your calves and buttski just by going about your normal daily business? Surely …

After being sent the Blu-Ray of Up by Disney I could not get it in the player fast enough. I had already seen it in the cinema in 3D so I was eager to see how Blu-ray would match up. I was also very excited because Up is my 2nd favourite Disney/Pixar movie (after Monsters Inc)
At first glance, Up is the least conventional animated movie in recent memory. The hero is not a fish, monster, toy or superhero. He is a grumpy old man named Carl Fredricksen a helium …

As I’m not a ‘serious’ gamer and have only ever had the Arcade version of the Xbox (no hard drive) I had never considered joining the massive online community that is Xbox Live. We were sent a new Xbox 360 Elite console with 12 months Gold membership and a few games to play as part of Littlemummy?s role as an Xbox ambassador. The gold level membership requires a subscription (?39.99 a year) and for this you’re able to download HD movies, games, demos, add-ons …

Having recently received a Blu-Ray player I was keen to see what all the fuss was about. As Erin was around I chose Monsters Inc. which was sent to us buy Disney a few months ago. I don?t think she would have enjoyed The Matrix!
In my opinion this is Disney/Pixar?s finest hour. It broke new ground in animation, (it was the first to make fur believable). It takes the universal theme of Monsters hiding in your cupboard when …

I went to see Alice in Wonderland on Saturday. So many people have asked me about it on twitter that I thought I’d do a quick review.
The Plot
Well obviously it follows the book which I’ve only read half of. In short (very short)Alice falls down a rabbit hole and discovers an underworld of strange characters. Alice needs to defeat the Jabberwocky to reinstate the White Queen as ruler of Underworld.
The Effects
The effects were amazing, I can no longer tell what is real and what is animated. …

On Sunday after not ski-ing for ten years we ventured back to the dry ski slope where we learnt to ski as teenagers (and also where Alex proposed to me eleven years ago!).
We’ve long harboured a desire to go on a ski holiday and this was the first step towards that.
We’re fortunate that we live ten minutes away from an excellent slope that costs around ?9 an hour including ski hire (much better than the eighty quid a lesson someone tweeted about).
The morning was eventful in that I …

We picked up our new puppy last Saturday which means she’s been with us a week as I write this, although it seems much longer!

She’s sleeping though and is almost completely toilet trained now. She’s very energetic and boisterous, although I think that’s partly because we’ve been unable to take her for walks yet – she’s due to get her booster injection in the next week so by the beginning of March we should be able to take her out and get her some proper exercise.
After much deliberation over …

I received a massage voucher for my christmas for a nice health and beauty place in Edinburgh.
I’ve had one massage before this one. It was nice.
The room was dimly lit and the girl seemed pleasant enough, I chose some oils then undressed and got onto the bed as instructed. The girl returned and put some aromatherapy oil on my top lip (to help me relax) and then got to work. Firstly on my front around my neck and shoulders, very good.
The girl told me to turn over …

It’s been twenty years since I went to a pantomime, and as I remember it it was all a little cheesy and definitely not my scene (excuse the pun) so my enthusiasm for joining in with The Great Pantomime Review 2009 was a lot more to do with supporting charity than personal enjoyment.
Well, I have to say to our complete surprise we all had a great time, even Alex (my husband) who could think of a number of ways he’d rather spend his birthday, none of which involved shouting …

Aharrrrr me hearties!
We’re off to see and review Robinson Crusoe and the Carribean Pirates at the Kings Theatre. Ruth who represents the Kings Theatre in Edinburgh has kindly provided us three tickets for press night – 2nd December 2009, which happens to be hubby’s birthday
There aren’t any major celebs just the usual favourites Andy Stewart and Grant Stott (John Leslie’s brother, or maybe that’s half brother) plus some woman from Taggart, not that any of this bothers me the celebs are neither here nor there to me. …
