nativity

I remember vividly my first school nativity play, it’s funny what memories stick in your head but this is one of them.  I was never going to be an angel as this role is always reserved for the flaxen haired maidens of the classroom, and I was too shy to be Mary, so for my first school nativity play I remember being cast as a shepherd and trying desperately hard not to trip over the faux silk costume that was clinging to my little short legs whilst I walked on stage to announce my lines about a star.  The performance [...] Read more »

We all know the story of Shrek, so [...] Read more »

I have to admit I like cleaning, I find it therapeutic and enjoy the end result so when the cleaning team at Scotch Brite contacted me to review some of their new range of cleaning products I was only too happy to dig out the marigolds and get scrubbing!

Heavy duty scourers, sponge clothes, magic erasers and a squeedgee scourer that had a soft and hard side.  They also sent me a selection of competitor products to pit their new cleaning range against. Their message had said [...] Read more »
