Photo-Love, April 14th 1979

April 14th 1979 issue of Photo-Love magazine. There's a 'complete photo-novel' about a girl who meets a boy, but her dad beats her and calls her a slut. All because he's been lonely since his wife walked out on him. (I wonder why?) There's a true confession story about a girl who pretended her boyfriend's dad was trying it on - because the boyfriend wouldn't marry her. It's all topped off with an in-depth look at gastric ulcers. Oh, to be a 20-something in 1979.

The problem pages are always my favourites in these magazines. The best is their advice to a trained social worker who is out of work and riling at being treated as her other half's 'unpaid housekeeper'. "You're in the same position as a lot of married women - depending on your man coming home at the end of the week with his wage packet. That's a perfectly acceptable state of affairs - it has been for hundreds of years." I bet that cheered her right up!

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
