Concord Trimax - Colourful, spacious and good value

Advantages: Lots of colours to coordinate with your car and good value
Disadvantages: Although easy to adjust, it took a couple of attempts to get the hang of it

OMG we're pregnant again! I called my hubby... "Erm, hun", I said, " well after 10 years of being careful (our daughter had just turned 10) I think our relaxed life and silent nights are going to be over..." The phone was silent, but I could hear the the last few brown hairs on his head turning a crisp grey....Oh dear. He came home from work with me waiting with open arms...he said "this is going to cost us a fortune" but hugged me with happiness. Nealry nine months later.... We had listed all the items we needed and at the top was CAR SEAT. How many car seats are there on the markets? LOADS!!! We surfed and shopped and came accross the CONCORD TRIMAX in Mothercare. It was suitable from 8 months which was when he would stop using his baby seat. Cost: around £90-£120 depending on the store and sales Colours: many ...

WA Shearings Coaching Holidays

Advantages: Lots of holidays on offer, can get some real bargains!
Disadvantages: If you don't like sitting for long periods....it isn't for you!

Let me start by saying that I LOVE coach holidays!! I first travelled with Shearings (they've now merged with Wallace Arnold) with my parents when I was 13. We went to Lido Di Jesolo in Italy. I'm now 36 and have been to Spain, Italy, Slovenia and Poland with Shearings (in 3 weeks I'm off to Belgium with them) and I've been to France and Austria with rival coach companies. There's a huge range of destinations, but I'll put them into 2 simple categories. 1) Overnight Express: you stay on the coach overnight (and try to sleep) This means the holiday will be considerably cheaper and you arrive at your resort considerably earlier. 2) No overnight travel: You stay in hotels en route which means the holidays will be more expensive but easier for those of you who shudder at the thought of trying to sleep on a moving vehicle! POSITIVES ...

Review of Shearings Coach Holidays

Horowitz - Complete DG Recordings in one small box

Advantages: Unparalleled playing, Unbelievably good bargain for 6 CDs!
Disadvantages: Um, paper sleeves? No, seriously, it's great

This box set comprises recordings from 1985-89, when Horowitz was 81 years old! In 1986 Horowitz returned to Russia after 60 years away to give his monumental Moscow recital of which the live recording is included in this set. I personally find this performance of Liszt's Sonetto 104 del Petrarca to be the finest ever recorded. Alongside this is Scarlatti, Mozart, Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Schumann, Chopin, Moszkowski, and Schubert. Accompanying this recital is 5 other discs of outstandingly unique playing. As he got older, Horowitz's playing became a sort of caricature of itself in the nicest possible way. By this I mean, his dynamics became more extreme, he became more expressive than ever, and his sense of style was heightened to new levels. Horowitz's Mozart playing has been criticized for being too free and not in Mozart ...
