Comping Success

I've been really lucky over the last month or so and managed to win lots of lovely things. It really gives you the motivation to keep entering because, after all, you have to be in it to win it!


Here's Marianna with a win worth around £40 from madeformums.com that arrived this morning - Tomy's Push and Crawl Turtle, Ready Steady Musical Giraffe, and Tap 'n' Toddle Elephant. I've also won a Nuby Comfort Teether Kit through their Facebook page, and a copy of Frank! by Connah Brecon.


A didn't get left out of the prize presents, either. I won the full set of Star Wars DVDs from the Nicolites Electronic Cigarettes Facebook page on May 4th - the photo above shows A and Marianna entranced. Then there was a pack of pink icing from the Renshaw Baking Facebook page, and a pile of books from Goodreads along with a £50 shopping voucher from theprizefinder.com.


Finally there were a few treats for myself. On Instagram I won a necklace from Moon Tide Jewellery. I had a choice of three different stones and went for the purple quartz; it's so pretty. Then I had an email from Lucas Jack, the jewellery brand, to say I'd won an Athena bangle. It's made of resin with gold plating, and retails for £135!

Guide to Sindy Houses

As far as 1/6 scale doll houses go, Sindy's Super Home is fairly ubiquitous. It's a good size, it isn't made out of pink plastic, and you can pick one up on eBay for under £50. But the Super Home wasn't Sindy's only foray into property ownership. In fact she had numerous different houses, caravans, stables, and other buildings... 1970 Sindy's Town House Though this was advertised in the 1970 brochure, it doesn't seem to have ever made it into production. 1973 Sindy's House This one apparently made it into limited production, but was flimsy and was soon replaced. According to the Sindy Museum , it had four rooms, decorated as a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and lounge. You can see part of the house used for photos in the 1974 catalogue . 1974 Sindy's House Existing examples appear to have been competition wins, so it is unlikely this house was ever on general sale. You can read more about it HERE . 1975

Simply Cook Review

I kept seeing ads and deals for Simply Cook everywhere, so as there was a special offer on at OhMyDosh! Rewards (£3 for the box and £3.50 cashback) I figured I had nothing to lose by giving it a try. What Is It? Recipe kits packed into boxes which fit through your letterbox. The usual price is £9.99 for a kit of 4, with each one serving 2-4 people depending on your serving sizes. All you need to do is buy the fresh ingredients required and follow the instructions. Here is Simply Cook's own helpful diagram: Does It Work? For me, as the person just eating it, it was awesome. Everything tasted great - the mushroom penne in particular was so good I went back for seconds - and I liked that the sauces weren't as rich as Anthony would usually make them. For Anthony, who cooked them, they weren't as impressive. He complained that the food was bland and that it was actually quite a lot of faff, as Lidl didn't stock everything we needed which meant another trip ou
