Coleman Solo Cook Kit

Be A Super Cook!

Advantages: Great fun to make with little ones.
Disadvantages: Not great if you don't like mess or chocolate!

This is yet another pack I have used with my 4 - 5 year old nieces who enjoy making them and enjoy eating them even more! ~ Price and Packaging ~ This pack was £1.48, not bad for about an hour of chocolate 'messiness' and 12 chocolate lollies! It comes in a box with Super Cook on the front and a picture of immaculately decorated chocolate lollies, decorated by a goose!! Not as neatly done by young children! ~ Contents ~ I love packets like this as everything you need is supplied for you. * Lolly mould ~ 2 thick bits of plastic with 6 identical moulds. Great if you have two children to amuse as they can each use one 'tray'. The shapes are: chick, butterfly, bunny, 2 easter eggs and a bird. * Lolly sticks * A bag of milk chocolate flavoured buttons and a bag of white chocolate flavoured buttons. * Writing icing to ...

Review of Super Cook Choco Lolly Kit

Going Solo

Advantages: Can't get into debt, lots of shops take it, from 11 with some banks,
Disadvantages: Woolies don't take it!

The Solo card is a debit card aimed at young people that works like a Switch except you can’t get overdrawn – in other words in debt. It’s a great idea and allows young people to shop through mail-order and on the internet without using their parents credit card. Though some adults also have it if they’re not too hot with money-management! The Solo card is accepted widely and most shops accept it, though it is not accepted as widely as Switch. Woolworth’s don’t take it which seems rather stupid considering many of their customers are young people. Though the Solo is accepted far more than the Visa Electron, which only a small minority of shops seem to take. Solo offers a cashback feature which you can use at all shops taking Solo. Most places won’t charge you, but smaller shops might. I was ...

Review of Solo

Flying Solo

Advantages: Almost universally accepted, makes you more financially aware
Disadvantages: Can't write cheques, not a lot really!

Ah, the sweet smell of financial independence! When I?m older, I?m going to be an internet millionaire; I?ve decided that. Joining Ciao was to be part of the grand plan, but alas .. ah well, I still have my Solo card. ?What? You?re fifteen and you have your own credit card? Now I know you?re entrepreneurial Matt, but this..? Well, almost. You see, Solo shares many of the features of other debit cards such as Switch. The differences are that it?s been adapted for people who may not be eligible for a 'proper' credit card. Typically these groups are the under-18s, those not in employment, and those whose credit history doesn't merit a credit card in the opinion of the banks. So what is Solo? Well, Solo is an offshoot of Switch, the worldwide standard for debit card transactions. Essentially, a Solo card is just like a Switch debit ...
