A Day at the Etihad!

You may remember my lovely friend Lisa from the previous post Remembering Jack. She and her family have had a difficult year or so and have shown enormous strength and solidarity throughout. Not least, young Jesse, who, at just ten tears old, has had to endure more trauma and heart ache in his young life, than you would wish on anyone, big or small. So, when Lisa told me about a competition to win Jesse his dream prize, I was very, very glad to assist. ‘Help!’ she said. ‘I have to write about why Jesse is their biggest fan, but I’m HOPELESS with words!’ She’s really not, as you will see below, but anyway…

Cleaning, Fun?! H20X5 Steam Cleaning System Review

So... what have I got for you today. No, NEXT TO the small boy in stripey socks! Isn't it awesome? It is, in fact, an H20X5 Steam Cleaning System and I have to say, I love it. I chose red, bu it also comes in white and the original green.

How do you compare, when moments can be amazing for all sorts of reasons? So, I have picked one, but it's not the only one, really, it's too hard to choose!
