How do you dry yours? (I’m talking laundry, people, laundry!) Do you love a Rotary Dryer?
As the days get longer and (allegedly) warmer, I’m always keen to say goodbye to the Tumble Dryer for the season. In a big family, it’s rather a necessity (though this year we have managed to use a heated airer a lot, which has saved a lot of the attractive damp-washing-on-radiators look) – we seem to constantly create a lot of laundry, and it’s a nightmare drying it all in our damp northern island climes over...

But we’ve never got further than...
The Fatboy Headdemock. Oh yeah baby.
I’ve come across a weird thing. The Fatboy headdemock. NO, I didn’t know either. I mean, everyone knows Fatboy and their entirely awesome range of bean bags, but what the fark is a Headdemock? Well, dear reader, allow me to enlighten you, and make your day better. It’s a hammock. But not just any old hammock. Oh noes. Typical Fatboy in its extravagantly large design, the Headdemock easily has room for...
Qualcast Self Propelled Petrol Rotary Key Start Lawn Mower Review
Blue loves a bit of long grass… I am not known for my lawn mowing prowess. In fact, since The Finger Incident (it’s a long tale … but basically I stuck my hand into a lawnmower. While it was running. Consequently I consider myself lucky to have just one finger that’s a bit shorter now…), there is by common agreement a family injuction preventing me from going within 5 feet of the thing. But the evil old...
