Giveaway and Reviews. Lately we’re loving education, no nits, Jamie Oliver & blooms

Soooo, where were we? Well, it would appear that I’ve become the online goto woman for headlice related information – which is nice and I suppose fair, given my *ahem* previous condition. I have to thank the very lovely people

HS2 – Vital rail link or catastrophic waste of time?

If you’re wondering whether HS2 is a Zac Ephron spin off, believe me you’re not alone.  Sadly it is actually the planned High Speed rail link designed to expedite our connections with the continent.  If you haven’t heard of it,
