A week with the Volvo V40 R-Design
The geekdaddy and I have recently been going through the exercise of buying a new car. The geekdaddy’s car is now 8 years old, has done around 100,000 miles, and is going to start costing us money soon, I am sure. Plus, with the price of petrol ever increasing, driving two very fuel-inefficient cars around […]
Hands on with the Panasonic Combination Oven (review)

If the audio players above are not visible then you can listen directly via the Audioboo website here and […]
What on earth is NaPodPoMo?!
November is a very busy month on the Internet. There seem to be a whole collection of community activities that happen at this time of year. NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is probably the most high profile, but Movember (grow a moustache for charity) seems to be getting more well known as well – I […]
