I would just like to write a review of HMV, a shop that I used today but in my option is probably one of the better shops to use for entertainment style products.
As it is coming up to my dad's birhday, I asked him what he wanted - hoping that it was cheap or not too bad on the old pocket. He stated that he wanted Lords of the Rings, and as we have it only video he said that it would be good to actually have it on DVD.
Having already been in to HMV previously this week in order to look for another item (for which I did not actually buy for whatever reason but anyway), I had actually in fact noticed that they sold this item - in my mind, I had £10 for the triple box DVD set.
As I went in there to the store today, I went to the place in which I had originally seen the item in question. However as it was not there, I spent some ...

Advantages: Well laid out and easy to understand routine Disadvantages: 7 days doesnt take into account possible preparation stage
Potty training is one of those inevitable events when you have children, sooner or later you have to do it. Christopher was my first child and I had no idea how to start potty training him. My mum was very old school in her approach and believed he should have started training at a year old, however he was a slow developer and wasn't even walking at that point, he certainly wasn't able to string together a sentence or tell me he needed to wee.

So purchase made I started the task of preparing myself and Christopher for training.

Advantages: Some useful points (I would say suggestions but Gina doesn't suggest anything!) Disadvantages: Absolutely uncompromising, Gina believes there is only one right way and that's hers
Gina Ford is a self-styled baby / toddler rearing guru who has written many books on the subject and has even given her name to the question 'Is your baby Gina'd?'
We start off in The Contented Baby Book, I picked this up off the shelf at a friends house when my baby was 6 weeks old, flicked to the page with the routine for his age group and started reading. She told me what time to get him up how many oz (or mins if breastfeeding) milk to give him, then what time and what I should have for breakfast. At this point I laughed out loud, put the book back and never looked at it again. I like to be organised and have an idea what's coming but don't respond to absolutes, minute by minute schedules and, what I think frankly are patronising comments.
Why then have I read The Contented Toddler Years? I haven't had a change of heart over ...
