With The Book People discounted books can be as much as 75% off the recommended retail price. Which can lead to one problem – there’s no point in buying just one book as often the postage costs more than the novel! This voucher code solves that dilemma – it gives you free delivery.

Go to your Basket and enter the promotional code there. A dialog box will pop up to tell you if it has been accepted or not. However, you won’t see this for sure until you get to the Order Summary, on the page where you enter your payment details. It should say, as mine did, that the delivery charge is £0.00. Which felt a bit nuts actually when I was buying a single book that cost just £2!

Normally standard delivery costs £3.95. If you spend more than £25 then delivery is free anyway. Although I have to say that would be an awful lot of books!

The site has a huge range of children’s books for babies and toddlers right up to teens. There’s also books for you on there too!

I have to give in. Autumn is definitely here and winter is on its way. Goodbye toasty summer, sob. On the plus side, though, this is a GREAT time to invest in this kind of deal because you’ll get loads of lovely entertainment for those dark wintery nights.

You only get the £20 free M&S voucher (awesome)  if you pay for your first month’s subscription. Now you need to bear in mind that LoveFilm do ask you to input your credit or debit card details when you sign up for the trial, and they won’t remind you that it is about to end. So, if you only plan on using it for a month then make sure you cancel everything in time or you will be charged.

You won’t be charged during the free trial, though, and if you’ve used a LoveFilm trial before then you won’t be eligible for this one. Oh, and you will need to return all your discs when you cancel your subscription or you’ll be charged. Right, that’s the fine print done. Now it’s time to enjoy this ACE deal.

• Click here to get some yummy clothes from Ann Harvey

Ann Harvey clothing is for women who are a fabulous size 16 to 32 and are designed to make women look and feel fantastic. None of those floating tents here! This is the clothing range I wish I’d found when I was a size 18, instead I ended up wearing stuff that had been squeezed into a dark corner of my local shop.

I remember when I was size 18 and very heavily pregnant, going into Top Shop for some maternity clothes. And guess where they put them? No less than at the top of two flights of stairs (very tough for a pregnant woman with SPD) and next to the Petite clothing range. I was so annoyed by this I left without buying anything.

Anyway, I hope you find some lovely clothes in this delicious sale!

This particular espresso maker has received the coveted Which Best Buy award, making it a good long-term investment for the coffee-mad household. I adore coffee and still struggle with my rule of only two cups a day, but it doesn’t stop me from drooling over yummy coffee makers whenever I get the chance.

The EC330S has professional level 15 bar pressure and can be used with both ground coffee and the ESE (Easy Serving Esperesso) pods around today. Personally I am against the pods as I think they are just more landfill.

The cappuccino system, based on an in-built manual frothing arm, mixes steam, air and milk to create the perfect froth. It’s easy to use, has a transparent water reservoir so you can assess it’s capacity at a glance, and a removable drip tray. Yum.

These acupressure wrist bands have been designed to ease nausea, including travel sickness, and they come in sizes to fit both kids and parents. Now we got sent a bunch of these to review as a part of our travelling theme this month and I winged them across to our Mum in Waiting, Rosalind.

Poor Rosalind has been suffering from some hideous morning sickness and so she grabbed these bands with glee.

“Useful, yes, I do think that they offer some relief but the best effect I had was combining them and a drink of ginger root in boiling water,” she said.

“They do not take the feeling away completely, but I noticed a difference when I took them off to have a bath. This meant that I really did not want to take them off to get in the water. It might actually be worth having two pairs so that I can get one wet.”

The Sea-Band works by exerting a constant, gentle pressure on a point on the inner wrist called the Pericardium 6 acupressure point. Which makes me feel nauseous as I hate anything touching my inner wrist, obviously the Sea-Bands are not for me…

“They are comfortable to wear and the instructions are easy to follow,” continued Rosalind, “I did find they slipped quite a bit over the course of wearing them so I spent a fair amount of time adjusting them. “

Rosalind was also suffering from another pregnancy symptom – clean, clean, clean – so she was rather pleased that the Sea-Bands had clear washing instructions on them. She did, however, feel that it would be nice to have different colours to make them more interesting, but not luminous ones (you’ll see why in a minute).

“The only thing is that you look a bit like an 80s dancer when you wear them,” she said, “They are not very discreet. I found that I did feel much less self conscious when I was wearing long sleeves. I think, because it is such early days, I did not like to draw attention to why I was wearing them on my wrists.”

I was hugely amused by the 80s dancer remark myself. Visions of pregnant 80s styled dancing women made me laugh out loud.

“I am definitely going to keep wearing them,” Rosalind concluded, “Anything to ease the symptoms a bit. All in all, definitely worth trying. I think that it has eased a bit and I would say that the bands have helped. It’s also nice to have something that I can keep after the pregnancy and use on holiday as well.”

And Finally

While we were unable to find a child suffering from travel sickness about to go on a boat/long car trip in time for this review, it is entirely possible that they will be just as effective. As a mum of a very fussy toddler, I reckon that the hard bit would be persuading them to keep wearing them.

For the pregnant mum who’s tum is at war I love Rosalind’s final comment…

“If I was going to be pregnant again (which I am not), I would get some it stock so I could wear them from the word go!”

The Sea-Bands retail from £7.99 at Lloyds, Superdrug, Tesco and other such useful places.

These headphones have been designed with kids in mind so they will protect their hearing while they listen to music, engage in learning, or do things that are noisy and demand headphones. They are suitable for children aged three and up.

They will fit into most DVD car entertainment systems, iPods, iPhones, MP3 players, laptops, PCs (including Apple) and portable gaming systems. Actually, with or without the Peppa Pig branding, a set of headphones like these are brilliant for when you go on your December holidays.

Kids will be able to hear their movies/games above the sound of the engine and you don’t have to listen to their shows for hours on end and can actually squeeze in some of your own music.

If you’re one of the brave parental souls who could get through the book and the movie, then this is definitely a keeper. Down to only £5.99 at HMV including delivery, the Lovely Bones is a rich, heartbreaking and dramatic story that will grip you from the start.

I have to confess that when I was first given the book I managed the first chapter and then had to put it down. I couldn’t bring myself to read any further as the thought of that happening to my daughter was too vivid and horrifying for words.

I did eventually read it to completion, it was gripping and wonderfully poignant, but I think I went through several boxes of tissues in the process. The movie stays as true to the book as is possible with the time limit but, for me, didn’t quite do it justice.

Although many people disagree with me as the reviews have all been sterling. It is as poignant and heartbreaking as the books so please, bring tissues. It is also a lovely stocking filler for Christmas.

Enter the discount code on the checkout page. It will be immediately applied to your total. I always prefer this, as it is so much less hassle to find out whether a code works there and then, than go through the entire payment process only to find it doesn’t work!

I love the wooden toys on this site. They’re simply beautiful. Although they’re all educational, it doesn’t mean they’re not also fun.They aren’t the cheapest toys you’ll find. But there are times when really, I just get totally sick of the plasticky brightly coloured sorts of children’s toys, and the Ben 10/Peppa Pig/My Little Pony and other branded toys.

I also really like the way the site is laid out. With toys divided into categories, and also into age groups.

It isn’t all wooden toys either. I particularly liked the look of the number bean bags. And the Jewellery box sticky mosaics would make a wonderful present for a young girl.

Obviously these chaps have experienced a surge in popularity thanks to the brilliance of Toy Story 3. Hell, even I want one. So what does this set offer? You get a Mr Potato Head body and two veggie friends with parts and pieces for plenty of face changing fun.

The set comes with a potato body, corn body, carrot body, three faces, three arms with props, three regular arms, three sets of feet, two hats and a carrot top. It is fine for kids over the age of two and is rather brilliant as a stocking filler for Christmas.

Stop shouting at me for mentioning Christmas. I can’t help it, I love being prepared. AND I love any excuse to go Christmas shopping. I bought myself one of the Dorothy Perkins dresses as my very own “stocking filler” only it actually goes with my stockings…

I must confess to loving many of the dresses for sale at Dorothy Perkins. I have a thing for shabby lace chic and funky designs and they often have dresses that completely fit the bill. I was gutted in their last sale when I discovered four dresses I adored only to realise that none were available in my size. Boo.

In their knitted dress section they have some really lovely designs – from neat and short to long and chic. The prices range from around £21 (was £30) to around £27. Although those knitted maxi dresses look a bit see-through…

If you click on their New In Dresses section you’ll uncover a huge range of winter friendly fashions that are marked down by 30%. Fancy a slinky jumpsuit? They have it in animal print or black! I must confess to having got lost in here. Happy shopping!
