  • Our midwife from classes before our daughter was born explained it to us that all formula has to meet certain standards and have certain ingredients in it to qualify for sale in the UK, so you can guarantee each brand is providing a recommended amount of nutrition due to this.

    We ended up going with Aldi’s formula, and if the other brands brought their prices more in line with that then I don’t see it as a bad thing. Charging through the nose for something that babies NEED if they aren’t being breast fed is absolutely abhorrent.












  • In the UK, you can get your provisional licence (learners permit) when you’re 17. You need to take a theory (written) test and a practical test, and most choose to go through a driving school but you -can- just be taught by your parents or other adults over 21.

    Generally speaking though it’s better to go through the instructors as they’ll teach you what you need in order to pass the practical test, which is apparently one of the strictest in the world.

    After you’ve passed the real learning starts, as if you drove like you have to for the test you’re in for a bad time.





  • Having repurposed my XS as my business phone for now, it feels almost brand new again now I’ve reset it and only keep a few business specific apps on there. I was charging it twice a day while it was being used as my daily driver, but since the switchover I’m having to charge it twice a week! So it may simply be too many apps demanding too much system time.
