If you are looking for a novelty television for a childs bedroom there are a few to choose from here. The model that caught my eye particularly was a bright red box in the shape of a toy car but lots to choose from.

Suddenly my tan is fading and there is the usual problem of finding a makeup that doesn't look like a mask.
Well I can highly recommend this lovely new supermoisture makeup by CLINIQUE. It has such a natural look with a slight sheen to it, the colour I tried is bronze which is perfect for me. The other bonus is that its 100% fragrance free.

KOHL SHAPER FOR EYES - Another product worth mentioning is this pencil which is so soft and has the clever addition of a sharpener in the lid.

I usually go for green perfumes but this cool blue distinctive bottle with the hammered silver cap caught my eye. Naturally I couldn't resist a spray from the tester and the lovely fragrance haunted me all evening. A bottle of it now has pride of place in my collection of perfumes.

Available from all ELIZABETH ARDEN counters.

There are now so many types of stock available in the form of cubes, powder, liquid etc. My favourite for many years have been Telma Cubes which are large, full of flavour and crumble easily.

Whilst there try the wide range of wonderful breads now available, including the polish variety and Jewish style Chollah.

MORRISONS - SOUTHPORT.

Great excitement by the arrival of the Autumn/Winter catalogue choc a bloc with wonderful products.
The stuffable range which has a flexible seal to accomodate larger contents has now been included in rectangles and square shapes.
There is also a new range for the microwave called "Heat N Serve" which would be ideal to take to work, particularly during the winter, filled with hearty soup or filling pasta dishes.

How refreshing to find a cookery book where the recipes contain just a few ingredients, are easy to follow, and taste good. In addition the pictures are just scrumptious.

One of my favourite so far is the BUTTERBEAN, CHORIZO & RED ONION SOUP which is really hearty and flavoursome.

THERMOCOLOR IRON

Is there anyone out there that honestly looks forward to doing a pile of ironing?
Well help is at hand in the form of the Russell Hobbs Thermocolor iron. It is gorgeous and changes colour as you iron. Switch on listen to a nice play on the radio and it could be good therapy.
