Autumn television – All about Downton again.
I noticed it the other night when I was drawing the curtains before 9pm. It may still be August but the nights are already beginning to close in.

I was incredibly lucky this weekend as I was able to attend my first ever Britmums Live conference.

And I think the TV might just be the key to why I now enjoy this so much. Television now is a global event, opinions on TV programmes shared on Twitter in live time,…

Carphone Warehouse invites you to play ‘Snake Retro’ to win prizes
If you are of a certain age and you think back to your first mobile phone, the chances are you used to get very excited about playing ‘Snake’. Yes, you remember it, it was the one where the snake (really a bendy graphic line that looked absolutely nothing like a snake if we’re being honest) was moved around the phone screen in order to eat things, a game that really exercised those fingers. Well now the Carphone Warehouse has updated Snake, making it smarter, brighter, sassier and fit for modern technology, and you can now win some very special prizes just for playing. Now entitled ‘Snake Retro’, the new version…
