    AEG UltraCaptic – Compact & Go

    We are now on to the fourth instalment of my posts about the AEG UltraCaptic vacuum cleaner. This week I am focusing on the main function of the UltraCaptic, the Compact & Go feature.  With the Compact & Go feature you compact the dust before emptying it, allowing for a more controlled disposal of the compacted dust. You can also just compact the dust to gain capacity and then continue to vacuum for longer without having to empty the machine. Have a look at our video to see how you Compact & Go quickly and easily. As you can see, it is quite simple to do and the only thing…

    Happy Anniversary: 5 Years today

    Today, at this exact moment, I was walking down the aisle to get married.  Getting ready to say my vows. Shaking with nerves and very much overwhelmed at what was happening. Wearing a beautiful handmade gown, made specifically for me. Looking towards this man who would soon become my husband and not long after that would bless me with 2 gorgeous little boys. 5 years! It’s been 5 years since the day we got married and I still remember it so clearly.  The gorgeous cake that my mum had spent months making, the food which was a mix of everything as all our family had made their own unique dishes…

    AEG UltraCaptic – 3 in 1

    Our house has a variety of  floor types from carpet in the livingroom and bedrooms, tiles in the kitchen, lino in the bottom toilet and a huge fluffy rug in our livingroom meaning that the AEG UltraCaptic really has been put through it’s paces with regards to variety.  Not that this has been a problem. The AEG UltraCaptic comes with three different nozzles, each one designed for different floor types so you’ll always get the best, deep down clean needed for a germ free home.  We have had problems in the past with vacuums not picking bits up from deep inside the huge rug in our livingroom and would regularly find…

    Weak Immune System and MCV

    I’m starting to think that Thomas has a weak immune system as he has now come down with a further illness. In the past few weeks he has been struck with Hand, Foot & Mouth and Prickly Heat which have caused him pain and discomfort but now we have hit something that is worse. After seeing what looked like little warts on his body that were causing pain, I took him to see our GP. The GP knew straight away what it was… the Molluscum Contagiosum Virus. Molluscum Contagiosum is a viral infection that affects the skin. It is highly contagious and easily spread through skin-to-skin contact with someone who is infected…

    Stuck On You

    As you all know, as I haven’t shut up talking about it, Thomas starts full time school in September. He’ll no longer be my little baby and will be a big boy. I’ve been looking into products which I can buy for him but since everything seems so expensive, uniforms, lunch boxes and the like, I hated the thought of spending a fortune and it getting misplaced at school because the teachers didn’t know it was Thomas’. After searching the internet to find ways of overcoming this situation, I came across Stuck On You who make children’s name labels and gifts.  Stuck On You began in 1995 in Australia when the owner, Carrie,…

    20 Weeks…

    Based on my initial scan, today I would have been 20 weeks pregnant. Half way through our third pregnancy and time to start getting everything sorted. This week would have been our date to get to see our little bundle again at a scan and hopefully get a glimpse of the sex of our baby. I won’t lie, I’m gutted. Gutted because I wanted a little girl. A mini me who I could dress up in cute dresses and play all the things that I used to play when I was little. Time to start decorating our spare room into coordinating colours and buying all the baby essentials ready for…

    Play to Learn by TOMY

      Any toys that are educational are ideal in my eyes. Not only do children get to play and have some fantastic toys, but they also learn in the process. What’s not to love? The TOMY Play to Learn range is just that.  A range of toys which not only come in different shapes and sizes, but are also perfect for learning and growing a child’s mind. So when we were sent some of this range to review, I couldn’t wait to get to grips and help the boys in learning new things.  Pic ‘n’ Pop This is a lovely toy. Not only do children get to run around the…

    SunSense Sun Creams

    Lately we have had some great weather. Lovely and hot with a very bright sun and this means that the sun cream gets brought out. After finding some sun cream in our cupboard, I covered Thomas in it for nursery and sent him on his way.  On picking him up I was alerted by his teachers that he had come out in a rash which they didn’t know where from and so I was worried. Could it be chicken pox or something serious? No, it was the sun cream which his skin didn’t seem to like.  He had to spend the next few days stuck inside until the rash had…

    AEG UltraCaptic – First Thoughts

    Now we’ve had a couple of weeks to get to grips with the AEG UltraCaptic vacuum, I thought I would update you all as to how we have been getting along with it. Since I love cleaning, this is my ideal review item and getting to grips with it was so simple. Opening the box, I found the pieces and attached them all together with ease. The instructions aren’t exactly what I would call ‘detailed’ but are good enough to understand what goes where, which bits to use and the drawings point everything out too. The vacuum itself is so simple. Two buttons, one is the on/off switch and the…
