Boohoo Kids Review

I don’t often buy clothes for the children because they frequently receive beautiful clothes from family for Christmas and birthdays. Sometimes though, I do need to pick up something that they need in a hurry. The Boohoo Kids website is ideal for this sort of shopping.

Window vacuum cleaner review

When I was asked to review the Vileda Windomatic Window Vacuum Cleaner, my first thought was that it wouldn’t really get used much in our house. You see the thing is, cleaning the windows just takes such a long time. Glass cleaner, cloths, water, more cloths, streaky windows not much better than when you started. And repeat ad infinitum.
