Red, white or rose? I love Majestic wines. They often have good offers on when you buy two bottles the same wine. However, you do need to buy at least 12 bottles (can be all different types). I bought some wonderful rioja from there befroe Christmas, but also the Torres Vina Sol, a good white, was £4.99 a bottle instead of £6.50. I got fantastic service when I ordered online just before Christmas by soosy

The other place I find you can get some good deals on wine is the Co-Op. Waitrose wines are good but are often more than £5 by soosy

Used to work in the wine trade. Oddbins is still a good bet, and their range is broadening out again, as they are no longer a part of Nicolas. Waitrose has a good range, and surprisingly Sainsbury is getting better and you get some good deals and interesting wines there. If you like big red wines, then go for a new world (Oz, Chile), same for their white equivalents. If you prefer more subtle, complex tastes then go for old world wines - Spain, France etc. If you can go upto £6 you're probably going to get a bottle that's actually better calue for money. The actual wine costs about 60p if that, packaging, tax etc makes up the rest - sobering thought that. Depends what takes your fancy though. by guy1067

Depends what you want to pay but Protos is a wine we often choose, Ribera del Duero. If you want something slightly different then try Bembibre, DO Bierzo. by sim

A good Marqués de Cáceres Crianza (DO Rioja) Matured for 16 months in French oak barriques and a further 14 months in bottle, this is modern Rioja Crianza. Tasting Notes Bright ruby red in appearance, the nose is dominated by aromas of raspberry, dark plum, cinnamon and vanilla. Round and balanced on the palate with silky tannins and a soft, red-fruited finish. by isabel

My friend has an excellent compact canon camera that takes HD video too. The video aspect isn't to the detriment of the photo taking. I think it's essential to try a compact digital camera in the shop to make sure the delay when taking pictures isn't too bad - it's something that often effects compacts. by darrenmoore
About 1 year ago
yes, that's good advice, noticed that having a young daughter that tends to run around a lot when you try to take her picture makes any delay a real problem. by sim
About 1 year ago
I agree with the problem with the delay. There's a kids and pets setting on my canon ixus which improves the situation but its now fantastic at quicky running children by soosy

Hi Sim, nnCanon Ixus is very good with prices and quality. These days, they have face detection and you can take picture on your daughter without any problem. However, you may want to change the shutter speed which help you to capture the 'moment'.nnWolu.co.uk by Wolu.co.uk

Thanks, my parents in law have the ixus and they're very pleased with it. How do you change the shutter speed and to what setting? thanks by sim
About 1 year ago
Hi, You should be able to change it in your menu but depends on which ixus you have. If your camera do not allow you to change the shutter speed, you can adjust the ISO value. The higher the ISO value will give you quicker shutter speed. Many thanks Wolu.co.uk by Wolu.co.uk

Have you tried the naughty corner/step? by Dolcemomo

knee patches, and make them as unfashionable as possible, won't stop the first pair of trousers getting holes in them but will make him think twice before ruining the next pair :) by sim

Two good possibilities. It's difficult when falling on the ground after scoring the winning goal in the world cup and boys seem to go hand in hand. Alternatively, we could just make him wear shorts all year round! Thanks. by guy1067

I had to wear shorts at school till I was 12, even in the middle of winter when it was snowing, I would have taken the knee patch option for sure. by sim

It was the same growing up for me in NZ. I'm not sure if knee patches had made it to NZ by then? Cofacio becoming a chat service as well. by guy1067

Definitely knee patches, easy to put (just iron them, you don't need to sew) and very fashionable (perfect for a cool outfit!!!). Just be sure that this kind of "incident" is because he's playing... sometimes kids have interesting ways to catch our attention... by isabel

I would suggest that you put an iron-on interfacing patch on the inside of the knee of the trousers. by lizroz
