A Rollie Review and giveaway

Now we all like to famous at some point don't we? I am sure many of us can point to link to some famous peoples in our lives. Now Rollie does seem to enjoy being in front of the camera as you might have guessed. When I heard MooskinsUK were looking for bloggers I quite frankly leapt at the chance. I was met with a friendly and polite response. There was was one burning question , which was would it be the sort of thing my readers would be interested in. I know many a lovey fan , who would love a piece of Rollie. The poor little mouse widow who is struggling to feed her hoard of hungry children for one.

 The first thing I was struck with was the easy navigation of their website. . I found it easy to upload my photo( my own photo please be careful of copyright)  and size it best to show off Rollie. Delivery is promised within three working days and indeed that was the case. The mooskins cost £19.99

I have to set out the differences that set it apart from other cases that are out there.

• High grade plastic moulding
• Integrated buttons
• Scratch resistant and chip resistant
• photographic quality print image

Overall I was ecstatic with the product there is only a couple of minor points. I just feel that if the product was a little bit cheaper that this might indeed open the product to a wider market. Another point is a tip of how to put the cover on, it is a bit I appreciate of teaching your grandmother how to suck eggs. The cover did not arrive with any instructions nor can I see any tips on the website. This however are minor points and in no way take anything way from the very high quality of the product.

I would order from this company again especially for my sons Blackberry torch as I believe their are plans to manufacture these covers. And definitely when ever I get My Ipad 2 and they do covers I'll be buying one. Thank you@MooskinsUK

Silent Sunday Poppies

Who's afraid of the big bad Wolf?........ and budgie smugglers.

Yet again my friend dragged me off to a fitness class. I had flu , my nose was dripping, I sounded  like
Bonnie Tyler but with out the hair and the money.  Now I have a few fears in life the usual spiders, glass lifts, sliced cheese in sandwiches ( it has to be grated). I had put my swimming costume on before I had got there. I restrained from using my husband's razor to trim any wayward hairs before I went. Its not really to leave curly wurly hairs on his razor  now is it?

Now Aqua aerobics had to be different from Zumba didn't it.? There was mostly ladies there but what was this I spied two men... Alas it was not two chaps in budgie smugglers  ho hum..

So I entered the water with some in trepidation  though thankfully the water was warm, the instructor was not some hamster self possessed ( please see Zumba post). So all was going to go well  wasn't it, so after jumping round the pool flinging one arms like that hippo off Fantasia my FEAR of water came to a head. I know, I know I am afraid of water as well. For what ever reason the instructor made us do the the conga in a line.

I would not do this as it bought back the painful memories of my childhood swimming lessons, harmful enough I hear you cry but not when you play" Whats the time Mister Wolf?" I am half wondering if there is a self help group for me? Cheese sandwich anyone( grated please of course!)

Mister Maker Under the Seapaper Clay Modelling Review.

I was asked to review the Mister maker Modelling kit. Anyone who watches Cbeebies must of heard of this chap. Basically he is a really happy sort that creates art in his room from the things around him. No  limits to his imagination, now working in education I found this a useful resource to give me ideas to make items for my class. There are lots of fun items on the website that hardly cost any money which is a bonus in this day and age, such as a bubble wrap cactus.



So to the item in hand....

Basically the kit comes with everything you need Modelling clay ,brush. paint, glue, googly eyes (my favourite) and various other little bits to turn the items into fridge magnets, badges key rings.

This probably most suitable for the ages of between 4 and 10 with adult supervision of course. I found the modelling clay easy to mould and shape. the instructions were fairly clear. The more complicated shapes would takes a bit of practice ,but this is OK as the modelling clay does not dry out too quick.

My only criticism and its a teeny weeny one is the quality of the paints and brush . I must admit for the shark I used my own paint . This aside I believe this to be a fun kit that children would enjoy and very useful for their fine motor skills.

Here is my shark....

I hope you like her .... her name why its Mummybarrow for her sharp grasp of the reality of life. x


And here is my Octopus.....

Her sister is Olivia the booz eyed Octopus http://ninjakillercat.blogspot.com/2011/04/meet-octavia-bozz-eyed-octpus-shes-shy.html

I made two of the models there is enough clay left to make another four models. It is an ideal classroom or home activity set.




I do have names for the shark and Octopus and have tweeted their namesakes.
