UMBERTO GIANNINI FLAT OUT STRAIGHTNER?S
?Salon professional ceramic irons to straighten smooth and style?
I was initially attracted to the box and presentation of these straightner's in Boot?s. They are presented in a long white ?arched front? box with a clear window to see the straightener's which are also white. Then reading the box I see that they came with a heat resistant travel bag, styling clips (a comb although not stated on box) and a gift voucher for a free Umberto styling product. Also printed was ?As used in Umberto Giannini store?s? and ?Award winning British hairdressers? So all the boxes were ticked and I was very sure that I wanted these. I then looked at the price and they were £70.00 ? I walked away.
After an unsuccessful search in other shops for some straightner?s I had a look online on Boots.com and found them ...

Russell Hobbs Marco Pierre White 3-in-1 Hand Blender 14334 with Balloon Whisk and Chopping Bowl
I was lucky enough to have enough points on one of my survey sites to be able to get this for nothing but it is on Amazon for about £35 I notice. I had given my big food processor to my daughter when she moved out as I never used it. I kept a little hand mixer and a blender. The blender died so I replaced it with a cheap one from Tesco which was total rubbish so after the third replacement I asked for my money back. Now I only had a hand mixer which wasn't that useful for soups hence looking for something small that would do the job. I saw this and thought it would be perfect as it would fit in a drawer ( most of it) and would do all I wanted I thought and best of all it was for nothing except points earned from surveys.
I certainly was ...

Yes, another Venice review...Probably my last one though...
Okay...Saint Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco) was built in 1071, and is in Venice, at St Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco).
The square can be hard to find, or very easy, depending on how good you are at navigating the streets (needless to say, we had a bit of a struggle!) Even though the basilica is enormous, I couldn't see it at all until we stumbled straight onto St Mark's Square, where it suddenly leaps out on you, dominating the place. If ever you go to Venice I would strongly recommend a trip to St Marks Square, as this building is probably one of the most amazing you will ever see.
The thing that struck me first of all was the sheer colossal size of it. It is toweringly tall, and extemely wide, I have never seen anything like it. I was expecting to see ...
