Review: The Slanket, a blanket with sleeves
Winter has come, the outside temperature is going down, fuel bills are going up. Well, we all like to keep warm but none of us like those fuel bills.
Maybe, to add insult to injury, the central heating has broken down? Well, living in a 1970s house with an aging heating system, in the bleak North-West of England, these things happened to us.
How to keep warm and cosy?
The answer? Buy a wonderful warm slanket from Amazon from approximately £35. There was a slight confusion when I placed my order for three Arctic blue ones, one ruby red one and one dark blue travel one. Only part of the order arrived and I had to send several reminders before the rest of the order was dispatched, fortunately in time for Christmas. Each one was packaged in its own reusable plastic zip-up bag ...
Advantages: Remains soft and snugly even after a lot of use. Disadvantages: As with most kids merchandise the fad will soon end.
Garden is a magical place that exist between waking and sleeping in a child?s imagination

Advantages: Bright, colouful,lift the flaps, Disadvantages: None
I'm sure everyone is at least vaguely familiar with the popular cbeebies show 'In the Night Garden'. My 3 year old niece is a huge fan and not only likes watching the programme but likes the merchandise linked to the show too. So when I saw this book in The Book People last year for £2.99 I decided to buy it for her. At the same time I bought a copy for my friend's 3 year old son and both little ones love this book. (I must say I quite like it myself!)
My niece really loves this book and we read it over and over again. This particular book is based around the character Igglepiggle, and his lost blanket. This is not my niece's favourite 'In the Night Garden' character but most of the characters appear in this book so she still loves looking at it and sharing the story with someone.
The book has 5 thick pages which tell the story ...
