Mini Mart: Purple Parrot

I haven't had chance to set up a scene with my Purple Parrot purchases, so have a shot of my mum's 1/12 scale pub.

Supplier: Purple Parrot
Website: purpleparrot.org.uk  - you can also find them on Facebook.

Products: 1/12 scale houses, furniture, DIY, and accessories. The website is clearly laid out and easy to use, and has a really friendly feel with the incorporation of the 'miniments' - miniature versions of the store owners! I picked up a few odds and ends - an ink pot and quill, a set of kitchen scales, and a miniature tree for an upcoming project.


They also stock a really cool range of African miniatures. I got a banana box, a soapstone bowl, and a little mahogany sculpture of a man sitting. I was really impressed with them!

Post and Packing: Free postage to the UK mainland on all orders over £30 (some exclusions require a £2.95 surcharge). Orders are dispatched within two to three working days.

Another view of the pub.

      He really is! Especially as he's smaller than I expected - about 4cm high.

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
