Last week, I was so excited when I received this stunning personalised slate heart cheese board! I’ve always wanted to own one but not because I love cheese so much. It is for Mr C – he loves his cheese and having this slate will look fab on our dinner table. It is his belated Valentines Day gift. This cheese board is from Presents For Men, check out their gift ideas department for more ideas!
The Muppets was one of the first comedy sketch shows I used to watch when I was young. It was shown regularly on the Singapore English Channel. I used to watch it every day and Kermit was my favourite but I did love Miss Piggy too.
My husband and I always look for online deals before we plan any holiday and before buying any high value items like gadgets and electronics. Last year, we came across Bespoke Offers for the first time as I was looking for spa treatment and iTunes vouchers. At the time, they had a £10 iTunes voucher for only £5 – what a bargain! These offers are limited in quantity and once sold, they are gone. Recently, they had a half price cinema deal which unfortunately I forgot to buy until it was too late! So now, I always keep my eye on it and have signed on to their regular offer newsletter.

I have not seen Mr C get so excited before as I was handing him the torch! He is like a school boy in a sweet shop! He couldn’t wait to test out the VARTA indestructible torch the moment it landed in his hands! He swiftly put in two AA batteries (included) and turned it on. The 1 watt LED light is very strong and bright. He was very impressed with the robust, nice looking torch. The on/off button can that found on the end of the torch and is easy to press. The head and rear cover of the Indestructible range is made of a resilient rubber to absorb the strongest shocks, while a high-grade aircraft aluminium-titanium alloy gives an extra-tough housing which is also resistant to sprayed water. It is robust enough to withstand a drop of up to nine metres – the height of a three storey building or two double decker buses.
Lego is one of my childhood favourite toys and it is also my 6 year old son’s too. Building Lego can be so much fun and we could easily spend the whole afternoon building houses, trees and much more. It helps you be creative and imaginative and there’s a great sense of achievement! I have received this Lego High Speed Police Chase 60042 to review.
