Vac from the Sea

Do you want to do something about the plastic debris floating in the our ocean?

No, I am not organizing a diving trip to clear them but Electrolux is and they are going to profit from this effort by pressing the collection together to create vacuum cleaners.



So, if you like the idea of owning a reliable vacuum cleaner that is unique, look out for Electrolux Vac from the Sea and be branded green.

School Holidays Activities

Do you have a problem getting your children to read books that you think will be useful or meaningful for their future? Are these books collecting dust on the book shelves?

My children enjoy sitting at the computer playing games or watching television programmes. Putting two and two together, I had my son watched "Restaurant Makeover" with me and work with him to create a slideshow about what we have picked up from the show and this is the result.



I think that the best way for children to learn is by getting them to create their own lessons electronically. Work on such lessons with your children and you will not only save some trees but also money from buying more books. And don't forget the quality time you will be able to enjoy with them doing stuff that they enjoy doing too.
