Advantages: Small, lightweight, hours of fun, cheap Disadvantages: Nothing!
My little boy Harry has been dragged around the shops with me since he was about 3 weeks old. Consequently, he rather loves sitting in the big supermarket trolley being Daddy's trolley helper when we do our weekly shop. So when it came to thinking of things for Father Christmas to bring Harry, we couldn't quite resist buying him this little trolley!
The trolley is made the company Smoby, who produce a large range of children's toys, available in toy shops and all across the internet. The trolley comes in the colours of light blue and a lime green, with fetching red wheels. The wheels are held on by plastic screws which are nice and sturdy and rotate smoothly, and squeak free!

I am a great fan of courtroom dramas, which is one of the reasons why I enjoy John Grisham novels so much and I pretty much look on him as the master of this genre. Therefore, when I discover a book that claims that it's 'better than Grisham or your money back' I am bound to be interested.

Advantages: Could get discounted tickets Disadvantages: Might not be able to get discounted tickets
You may have seen a rather comical television commercial advertising this new Internet service. The gimmick is very simple - name your own price for airline tickets. The advert shows lots of silly oafs who thought that because they got a cheap airline ticket, then they would have to load their own baggage or be transported on the luggagetrolley. My particular favourite moment is when the air stewardess opens the overhead compartment and instructs the man to come out. Poor chap - he probably realised that there was more legroom up there.
Name your own price? Sounds good to me. I'm off to Sydney for a fiver. But is it that simple?
The actual premise of the scheme is this:

2 - State your preferred dates of travel.
3 - Supply your email address ...
