Advantages: Really nice little set Disadvantages: The sharpener makes a bit of a mess!
~~*~~*~~ Boldmere Clutch Pencil Set ~~*~~*~~
Bless my mother - she seems to think I have a talent that at 31 needs nurturing. I'm definitely no artist - I have no talent but I do quite enjoy drawing, dunno why, maybe it just takes me away from the mundane routine of dog-related tasks or possibly because it requires very little strenuous movement. Either way, for Chrimbo I was very thoughtfully given the Boldmere Clutch Pencil Set. At first, I was sceptical - could this pencil really be any different to the mini blue ones we've stolen from the crazy golf course each time we've been? Actually, it is.
~~ What's in the set? ~~
For your hard earned pennies you'll receive a lovely clutch pencil (more about what the hell a clutch pencil is later), 3 graphite leads and a kneadable putty rubber all contained within a pencil tin ...
Advantages: I don't have one Disadvantages: I don't have one
While awaiting inspiration for a new review, I remembered that this one was overdue for an update. Although I rewrote it a year or so ago for Dooyoo, to include selected items from handbag reviews posted over there, I never got round to revising the Ciao version. So here it is. All the articles mentioned appeared in reviews by women on one site or the other.

What have I in my handbag?
I mustn't tell you lies;
In truth the only bags I own
Are those beneath my eyes.
You don't need special insight,
No expertise in rockets,
To guess that, being just a man,
I keep stuff in my pockets.
But if I now said: "Nothing!
So there, and that?s your lot!"
You might not feel satisfied
And rate this Helpful ? Not.

In any case, the subject
Has made me realise how
Much women carry in their bags ...

Back to school I am thinking about the things we use there and we have lots of Berol hand hugger colouring pencils.
Berol has developed these triangular pencils for children who are developing their colouring skills. They are easier to hold than the round colouring pencils. The triangular shapes helps children to hold them in a correct grip. Some of my disabled pupils find these easier to hold than standard pencils.
The surface of the crayon is a slip resistant texture; it does not slip out of my students sweaty palms so easily. The hand hugger colouring pencil is comfortable to hold.
These pencils do not splinter.
The leads of these pencils are strong do not break easily. There is a good range or 12 colours available giving a 6mm wide line.
To sharpen these pencils you do need a big pencil, sharpener
