Advantages: A delight to babies, Colourful, Cute, Plays songs.
Disadvantages: Can't wash baby Tad.

...and your baby will hear 6 lovely, delightly songs, such as Ba,Ba,Black Sheep. If you're happy and you know it, Clap Your Hands. Twinkle,Twinkle Little Star and Hickory Dickory Dock the mouse run up the clock. If you press the moon button which is on the other hand you will hear " One Minute to night night" and then hear some classical music which will not only send your child to sleep but you as well. Baby Tad also has a big pink lip on the side of his face and if your child kissies him on that lip, baby Tad will say "I love you" Evie loves to Cuddle, squeeze, kiss and play with baby Tad, it really doe's sooth her. Baby Tad teachs Evie shapes, colours and songs.I like baby Tad because it is soft enough for Evie to have in her cot, it has no head bits, no sharp bits, it's just soft enough for evie to cuddle and play with, she...

...We visited Evi Studios, Rhodes in the resort of Pefkos during the October half term break. We stopped for one week and travelled with Airtours. Unfortunatley I cannot remeber how much we paid exactly, but it was definatley under £1000 for a family of four, 2 adults and 2 children. We arrived at approximatley 01:00am and were showed to the room by the rep from the coach, as it wasn't a 24 hour reception. THE ROOM We were in a two bedroomed apartment with one bathroom, adults in one room, kids in the other. The rooms and utensils were very basic but it had everything that you needed. We had a two ring hob but this heated up very slowly and as we had no kettle, you had to wait 10 mintues just for a cup of te! The apartment we had, had a shower and a bath and we found that there was always plenty of hot water. But the other family... Read review

Advantages: Cheeky,loyal and better than a hot water bottle!
Disadvantages: Don't buy if you haven't got time to indulge one.

...Previously I had been owned by Siamese,but the photos of these little pixie like street urchins kept jumping in to my head. It was pretty inevitable that one was going to appear in my life sooner or later. On 27th March 2003 Evie my red tabby Devon Rex was born,there in my life changed. When you say a cat has character this is a bit of an understatement. She likes nothing more than sitting parrot like on my shoulder. Bend down at your mercy,as a naughty Devon will soon be on your back. In fact I can probably say most of the time I look like an extra from 'The King and I' stooping around trying to find a convenient piece of furniture to place her on. Bathtimes beware as water is a huge attraction.She will actually try and sit on your knee whilst bathing.At least there is not a thick coat to dry off. All I can say that these comedians...

...and defeats an army in Theses. His life is then sucked out of him and the only thing left is his bracelet. Rick O’Connell (Brendan Fraser) is now married to Evie (Rachel Weisz) and they have a little boy, called Alex (Freddie Both) who is aged 8. This film is set 10 years after the first Mummy movie, and the year is now 1933. The next scene is the family in cave, with Rick and Evie looking for Ancient Egyptian clue of The Mummy. Evie has visions, which we later see are visions of her past life. She sees how to open the door to the room where the bracelet is, and hot to open the chest which the bracelet is in. But there are 3 South London men in there too, and they try to kill the family, but Rick opens the chest and the bracelet is revealed. The whole cave then starts to shake, and Evie reads out what is written on the chest-“He who... Read review

Advantages: Spending time with my little girl
Disadvantages: Only 1 day more before work starts again

...A journal of my day so far 9.00am Now, my Saturday always begins at 9.00am, this is my lie in day….yes 9.00am is a late lie-in in my house. This morning I was woken by Evie singing wheeeee, wheeeee, as she came upstairs with David. Wheeeee, wheeeee is her latest saying, which she is hammering to death. Spent quarter of an hour in bed with her, she was in high spirits, as always on a Saturday morning. 9.30am Downstairs to make a much needed cuppa and smoke a ciggy at the backdoor, my usual waking up routine. Then spent an hour rolling around on the floor playing mummy. Went to make toast and realised that we had not a single slice of bread in the house, didn’t fancy cereal so went without. 10.45am Went back upstairs and got dressed, cords and t-shirt on, picked out Evie clothes for the morning, I say morning, cos...

Disadvantages: Moves a little fast, a bit depressing

...her mother, and is virtually married to his work, which is clear to the audience later on in the movie. Tracy's friends are just like her- sweet, obedient but bordering on geeky. But after the summer holidays, Tracy returns to school to feel babyish compared to the most popular girl in the school, Evie Zamora (Nikki Reed) and her gang. Evie's influence on Tracy begins here. Evie makes a mocking comment on her socks, and even this minor comment has an impact on Tracy, as we watch her throw away her pair of socks in one of the next scenes. Tracy has a deperate want to be just like Evie, and the next day comes to school in the same style of clothes as Evie and her gang. Tracy is thrilled when Evie tells Tracy she can come shopping with her after school. However, Tracy observes them wide-eyed as she watches them stuffing... Read review

Advantages: Gentle, engaging read
Disadvantages: Nothing major - writing style may not appeal to all.

...This book won the Whitbread (Now Costa Coffee) First Novel Award in 2004, the year it was published. It was also selected as part of the Richard and Judy Summer Reads in 2005, and in part that was the reason I picked it up (although I peeled the sticker off, because I am a snob) as I have enjoyed some of their selections in the past. At the time it was an unknown book to me and keen to try something new I took a chance with this book. I am glad to say it paid off. This is a story about Love, but not always in the conventional sense, it is as much about family love and friendship as romantic love. It is also a story about loss. Evangeline Jones, known as Evie, lost her mother when she was seven. Not knowing her father, she left Birmingham (the only home she’d known) to live with her maternal grandparents in Wales where she... Read review
