The Great BIG Fifideals Art Competition




Well what a Great British summer it was, one that won’t be forgotten in a while, even if it is just down to all the rain we had.   While reminiscing about the amazing times that we all had, the golden jubilee, the Olympics and the Paralympics, the @fifideals office decided that it would be a lovely idea to commemorate the golden British summer and to get the kids help them remember those fun family days.

Fifideals are  pleased to bring you the inaugural ‘The Great BIG Fifideals Art Competition’.  They would like to invite every playgroup, nursery, toddler group, 1 O’clock club or any kids group wanting to take part to paint them a summer family picture.  This could be of his or her own family, their playgroup family, the Royal family or even the Team GB Olympic family.

The Prize:

There is a great prize worth over £500 for your kids group to win:

A Pirate Ship from Leaning From Play.

Bissell Vac and Steam Machine Review and Giveaway

I have hard floors downstairs which I love.  They are much more practical than carpet with 2 mucky boys and a dog. Over the past 8 years I have tried all sorts of ways to keep them clean and I think I have finally found the product that does that for me. It is the  Bissell Vac and Steam Machine .  This amazing suel action machine vacuums and steam cleans either independently or at the same time.  It means that I have done away with my vacuum and steam cleaner downstairs (which I gave to my brother in law). What I like: You can either vacuum or steam clean or do both It is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre The handle is adjustable great for a home with people of different heights and for getting the kids involved. You need no chemicals The pads are washable and reusable It comes with a two year guarantee It warms up fast (within 30 seconds) so no long wait to start cleaning It costs under £100 It is space saving.  No need for a separate vacuum, steam cleaner or mop. 

Tissue paper poppy badges

Remembrance Sunday will soon be upon us and my boys take part in the annual church service and march as Beavers. This year MadDad will also be marching in his capacity as Manager of the U7's football team.  We are great believers in remembering what people have done for us and the boys have been busy making tissue paper poppies at Beavers.

Other irritations were: ·          Christmas dinner preparations (25%) . The most common complaint is when mum-in-laws unfavourably compare the way dinner is served to the ‘proper way’ (i.e. her way). ·          Cruel present choices (24%). The majority felt that parent-in-laws purposefully bought presents for them that they wouldn’t like, from terrible Christmas jumpers to regifting items already in their cupboards. ·          Fighting over board games (15%). The most frenetic choice is the team game of charades with 34% of those who have fought with their parent-in-laws coming to blows. Monopoly is the board game that seems to cause the least amoun
