Half term isn’t half term for us without some sort of special outing. This half term has been no different.

Yesterday we (Kieran 5yrs, myself and Roy!) caught the train to York and headed for the Grand Opera Theatre to see Roary the Racing Car Live. The build up of excitement before the show was electric (Kieran was looking forward to it too!). The show lasted 90 minutes including a short 10 minute interval and held Kieran’s attention from start to finish.

We all sang along, boo’d, shouted, pointed, ducked the water pistols and played with the king size inflated balls. Great fun for all the family. Find out more on the Roary Live website where you can see where you can find out more about the show and it’s stars, see clips and more. Don’t forget to visit the Facebook page for up to date news.

A truly fantastic family outing, the Cawood’s give the Roary The Racing Car Live show a big thumbs up!

You can't go to the theatre and not have popcorn!

Kieran spotted the ice cream lady — We did attempt a smiley picture but Kieran was distracted by the ice cream lady!

activity programme — The show programme (£7) was packed full of games and puzzles, brilliant for the interval AND the trip home

daddy liked it too — Daddy enjoyed the puzzles too!

light fun — For £3 this Roary light toy was great fun and very handy for waving around during the songs!

Would we go again? Absolutely, and we’d take Kieran again too! The show kept Kieran’s attention, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Top entertainment!

*We received tickets to Roary Live in exchange for a review of the show. The write up is based entirely on our own experiences and opinions and no-one else’s.

On hearing that my hoover aka the Useless-Machine had blown up on me, the lovelies from Dirt Devil offered to send me a new hoover in exchange for a review.

When the hoover arrived (I wasn’t 100% sure which one would be coming) I was worried to find it wasn’t an upright but a small cylinder vacuum. I’ve had many of these before and to be honest haven’t found them the best when it comes to picking up. This assumption was my first mistake. The Reach (model DCC038) with it’s 2200 watts of sucking power really packs a punch. She may be small but she’s strong! I was very pleasantly surprised!

The Reach comes with:

High power cylinder
Metalic telespcopic tool
accessory holder
crevice nozzle
upholstery brush
dusting brush
intense turbo brush
4 in one stretch hose (5m)
carpet floor brush
user guide
care guide

The clever technical stuff!

This nifty machine comes with a Microban extra hygiene filter and high grade HEPA filtration. In short, it has built in antibacterial protection for an extra level of hygiene when you are cleaning. Microban is a pretty big deal in halting bacteria. More information on Microban and how Dirt Devil work with them to ensure our homes are as clean as they can be, can be found here (it’s worth a look at, interesting stuff!).

My personal opinion of the Reach is that it is perfect for a family home. Despite looking compact it has a total capacity of 3 litres, great suction and is light and easy to manoeuvre around your home.

Easy to store, easy to use (even on stairs and thanks to the easily accessible tools, and for all the places that collect dust and dirt), The Reach gets a 5/5 from us. The turbo brush which is ideal for pet hair does what no hoover tool has ever managed before… it easily cleans up our suite which has goose feather cushions (so gets very bitty and dusty very quickly!).

If you have any questions on the Reach or any of the Dirt Devil products why not say hello to the team on Twitter and keep up to date with news, offers and hints and tips on Facebook? You can find the Reach and numerous other fantastic Dirt Devil products at Argos.
