This Week #45

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
Life This Week

I've missed a few of these weekly round up posts now - but it has been nice to have a bit of a break! Council wound up for summer recess towards the end of July so I've been focusing on family time and fixing the house up.

We've been on a few days out: Longtown Castle and a meal at the Skirrid Inn, Newport Geekedfest, BBQs at my mum's, and spending time at our local. :)

This Week, I 'ave Been Mostly...

☆ READING: A little less of Rosie and Jim - find out why in my Manners Maketh Baby post.

☆ WRITING: I wrote an open letter to the Natwest about their insistence that ATM fraud cannot be committed with a cloned card. Unfortunately for me and my bank balance, it can.

☆ WATCHING: Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. I can't believe I hadn't seen this before, it's awesome!

☆ LISTENING: Dangerous Love - Fuse ODG. It's such a good summer tune.

☆ WEARING: I had a lovely new bracelet for my birthday which I'm wearing today.

☆ EATING: We were sent some gorgeous cupcakes from Caketoppers to try.

☆ REVIEWING: We took the #WickedUncleChallenge and tested out some really cool toys.

Free Magazine Scans

Click the pictures below to find full cover guides to various teen magazines (primarily collated to make scale miniature magazine covers but I figure they'll also be useful for collectors and anyone into media history) and scans from my own magazine collection.

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
