When LittleStuff went to Yorkshire – staying at Ing Heads
A few weeks ago we packed up the car and headed north, to spend half term in the Yorkshire Dales. I know, I know, it was February. But just look at Ing Heads, the cottage we were staying in. And the inside wasn’t too shabby either… So keeping those images firmly in mind we got up at mad o’clock and trekked 6hrs North. Ing Heads is an old farmhouse and barn, converted in style to sleep 11 people (as long as you...
The Nextbase Dash Cam 512G review
Dash cams seem to have snuck up on me unannounced. First no one had them except the Police – and then all of a sudden it seems a LOT of people are starting to use them. There’s even a TV Show featuring dashcam footage caught on the madness of our roads. And of course, it’s one of *those* products isn’t it? Like an apple corer – you have no need for one at all… until you need it. Last summer I had...
Some Toys Just Keep On Giving – Playmobil Animal Families
As a parent you know that toys come and go – some have a teeny tiny window of appeal – maybe a week or so. Others seem to just go on. And on. And on. And you grow to love those ones. As a parent you come to understand and cherish the value in toys that last – that have play value beyond this particular 6mth stage in your child’s life. And as a wise old parent of 17 years I’ve come to understand that those...
Carpet Cleaning – is it worth it on an old grubby cream carpet? (before/after pictures to show you!)
13 years ago, we had an extension built. I was pregnant with baby no.3, we were running two businesses from home, and our tiny little 3-bed semi simply wasn’t big enough. And obviously it was cheaper to build more bedrooms than to move, so extend we did. The need for three new bedrooms rather determined how it looked – all that space underneath them simply became one very large living room. And we loved it instantly, even...
So was the Aerobed suitable for an elderly disabled relative?
Back in December Aerobed sent us one of their Platinum Raised Air beds to review. I tried to tell them I wasn’t the best person – my husband hates airbeds and would never sleep on it, and the only guests we had coming were my elderly in-laws for Christmas. How could an Aerobed be suitable for an elderly disabled relative ? My Father in law has a crumbling spine, plus a hip that is in such poor condition that it is due to...
Perfect Last Minute Teen Gift – The Art of Mad Max: Fury Road | #ChristmasGiftGuide
We already talked this week about giving books as teen gifts; they need to be something special if you want them to be read and cherished rather than plopped on a shelf and ignored. For gamers, the Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Art Book is a surefire hit. But if you happen to own a film buff, then the The Art of Mad Max: Fury Road is probably one of the best Coffee Table Art Film Books I’ve ever seen, and is guaranteed to...
