Is Your Home Working For You?

When most of us think about our homes, there tend to be a few things that stick out in our minds. After all, your home is likely to be the kind of place where you want to feel the safest, the most relaxed, and the most secure. However, one of the issues for a lot of people is that they don’t really think about how they can actually make their home into that kind of place. One of the biggest things you need to consider is how well your home is actually functioning. Sure, the way it looks like might be more obvious, but the way that your home actually works can make far more of a difference to how it feels.

Fish Mobile

This is a very easy craft that we made during the Easter holiday break. Both of my children love fishes and so we decided to make this fish mobile to hang it in our conservatory. We spent at least 20 minutes to colour all the fishes and took me around 10 minutes to thread them into this simple yet beautiful fish mobile.

NatWest Mobile Banking App Review

When I first came to the UK, the first current bank account that I opened was with NatWest and I have stayed with them throughout. Being their customer for 10 years, I’ve had a lot of good experiences with them. I have no doubts I will stay with them for the foreseeable future. They might not have the best interest rate but their customer service and online banking are what continues to impress.

I still remember when I first used their telephone banking, it was so easy. When I went to Egypt, my debit card got stuck inside the cash machine and with one call, they swiftly cancelled the card. Later, I moved onto online banking and moving money in between my current account and other accounts is so easy. Checking my direct debits and creating standing orders are so easy too.

Now NatWest have introduced their mobile banking app which is easy to use, fast and secure, helping to manage money at a time and place that suits you.

The perfect Christmas gift for this Christmas

I love to stay connected on social media. Before I had a smartphone that allowed tethering, I used to camp inside McDonald’s or pubs that have free Wi-Fi. I wouldn’t ever want to go without any network for too long.

Having an ultra-low cost mobile broadband service is the perfect Christmas gift for myself or other internet addicts, families, travellers and teenagers!

Oak Phone Stand Review

This Christmas, why not get something that is personalised and useful as a gift to make an enduring memory to your loved one. Perhaps, an iPhone stand, a chopping board or maybe a wine rack made from oak.

1stFONE Ownfone review

Owning a phone at a young age is most children’s dream. They all love their toys and gadgets as much as the adults.

It was a few months ago while Mr K was on a holiday camp that he asked for a phone. He wanted to give us a call. I did find it hard to get in touch with the holiday club members to check on him while he was there.

Now 1stFone has solved our problems! 1stFone is the little personalised phone that connects you directly to the most important people in your life! Just press the name of the person you want to talk to.

Apptoyz AppControl

The AppToyz AppControl is a portable controller that can be clipped to your keyring. You simply place it on your touchscreen device and the rubber material ensures it doesn’t slide around. It is small, light, soft and easy to stick on. I tried this with the Samsung Galaxy S3 where there are three games available from the Google Play Store. These are:
