5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Learning & Review Source, 31 Aug 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
I brought this so my daughter and we could review her school work for last year. The exercise book is great. Its allowed me to gain a better understanding of what she was taught last year, and she's gained confidence in her weaker areas.

We've found it great fun over the last few weeks. I've always enjoyed numbers and i think that's starting to wear off on my daughter too.

I been using theses a couple of weeks now and I only have good things to say about them. They're well made, comfortable and excellent value.

Watch the sizing though, I brought XL, that fit perfect, although i have average size hands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little set, 6 Aug 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Draper Bicycle Tool Kit (Sports)
I've just returned to cycling after 10 years and i felt a little vulnerable to punctures riding the 9 miles back and forward to work. This little set has everything I need: puncture repair to allen keys and pump. The pump looks ridiculously small, i wouldn't use it to pump tyres generally, but it more than capable of getting enough air in my tires to ride home from a puncture.

For a £10 you just can't argue

5.0 out of 5 stars A marvellous flavour, 29 Jun 2012

I've never used Bulk Mill Spices before but based on the quality of this product i will definitely be using them again. This paprika has a gorgeous colour, a lovely fragrance and a marvellous flavour. I never purchase a better valued or quality paprika.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very affordable alternative, 29 May 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
I've used this a few times now and it works perfect. Half press focus, full press takes a picture.

It is a little light weigh but it only costs a tenth of the original. Secondly, the lead is quite short so you can't stand to far away , although you're likely to be close enough to be viewing the LCD anyway.

If you need one its difficult to argue with the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Costs a quarter of the original, 23 May 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
Hi

This is an out the box review, i will update as i go along.

23.05.2012
First off the battery has been charged for two hours and the LCD displays the battery a fully charged. I'm only shooting photos in RAW and quality JPG using a Sandisk Extreme 8Gb SD card and the standard 14-42mm lens. The manual suggests approx' 270 photos can be taken with a fully charged battery. All good so far, I've taken 27 photos today and the LCD display the battery as full. I'll keep you updated on the number of photos, for the life of the battery, as i go.

24.05.12
Took a further 77 shots today and used the LCD to preview the shot. The running total is now 104 RAW shots taken with high priority and the LCD display the battery as full.

25.05.12
Another 24 shots today, running 128 and the battery is now showing 2 bars. All good so far and pretty much on par with the original battery.

27.05.12
Shot another 31 shots today before the battery died, grand total 159. Having re-read the manual the esimated 270 shot for a fully charge battery is based on takung them over a 3 hour period. I'm going to perform the exercise with the original battery next week, i'll feedback the result in the next 7 days

08.06.12
I've now charged and reused this battery several times. When compared to the Panasonic I'd suggested it last approximately 75% as long. This is an excellent affordable back-up battery that i wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent so far - price , build quality and use., 23 May 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
Hi

I read a few negative reviews but most were written some time ago, so i ordered anyway. Arrived very quickly and package appropriately for something this small.

I'm using Sandisk ultra and extreme 8GB SDHC cards for this review. First off, whether i connect the card reader with SD inserted or insert reader then the card i get the same results, the Auto Play window pops up asking what i want to do. Even when i remove the card from an attached reader and then reinsert a card (any card LOL) the same Auto Play window pops up.

Minutes into using the card i would highly recommend it for price and build quality.

I've been using this card reader for 2 month and I've not experience any problems. I've used the reader on my PC, through a Wise dummy terminal at work and on a USB socket on a Samsung TV with absolutely no problems. My initial 5 star rating stands, this is an excellent product at a fantastic price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not so Enchanting, 19 May 2012
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
My kids are 5 & 8 and the game was excitedly anticipated.

The first disappointment was that they couldn't play it at the same time, its one of those step in and out game that everyone one can play, but hardly multi player. After that you get a very cute walk around and explore game, much like kinectanimals but with voice activation, which at time is easier to use than gestures.

There' some lovely animations and as i've said it is very cute but it gets samey quickly. Its now been 4 weeks and they've stopped playing it completely. The game has some lovely moments, lots of potential and i'm sure they will play it again in the future but overall it falls short of keeping them entertained.

For their ages, kinect sports is still king and suprisingly Tintin comes a close second. Their opinion not mine :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Mustard, 18 May 2012
I love this mustard. Some will find it a little hot but for the majority of hot headz its a mild experience no hotter than a Tabasco sauce. What is does offer is real flavour like no other mustard you've tasted. This isn't a take your breathe away mustard like Colmans English Mustard, it tangy, subtle, tasty and unusual all wrapped up a single package.

I love this mustard but at the very least you will like it.

Four stars because of heat level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its the fastest card i've ever used, 17 May 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
I've previously used Sandisk Ultra SD cards in my Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 but I'm now a convert. This is an extremely quick card for shooting, video & transferring between camera to PC. Its water and x-ray proof and for a small addition price to the Ultra Card (approx £2.50 for 8GB) I don't see the point of using anything else.

Don't be mean, treat yourself.
