No doubt if Jack Charlton was still manager of The Republic of Ireland, they'd get a game.

Get Friends and Family to Record Onto Your Yoto

By -

 We purchased our little girl (2.5 years old) a Yoto player for Christmas as she likes putting CDs into the CD player and taking them out.  It looked like she would enjoy putting the story cards in and out of it.  And she did - she loves it! The other thing we were intrigued by was the "Make Your Own" cards.  We knew you could essentially put CDs and certain blogs "onto" cards, but what we hadn't appreciated was that we could put our own sounds and voices onto cards. In this time of lockdown and only seeing friends and relatives via video calls, we thought it might be nice to get friends and family to record a song or nursery rhyme and to put them onto cards.  I needed a way that would be easy enough for the technophobes to be able to do this without causing them a headache and also without causing me a headache. A Simple Way for Others to Create a Media File For Your I dismissed the idea of trying to get them to record from their PC and email it to me.  If...

List of EE Voicemail Shortcuts While Listening to a Message on my Mobile

List of EE Voicemail Shortcuts While Listening to a Message on my Mobile I was trying to find what shortcuts are available whilst listening to a voicemail.  My phone is on EE, so I don't know if these things differ for Vodafone, GiffGaff, Virgin, O2, etc.  There didn't seem to be a quick reference guide to what numbers do what, so I hope this helps someone.  If not, it will help me next time I'm trying to find them.  In particular, I was trying to find the pause and rewind options. 1 = Listen to the message again 2 = Save the message 3 = Delete the message 4 = Receive a free text with the number which called 5 = Forward the voicemail to another person (on EE) 6 = Pause/Continue 7 = Rewind message 10 seconds 8 = Skip to next message 9 = Fast forward message 10 seconds # = Return the call Hope that helps.  You may need to check for other providers, as you may end up deleting a message you don't want!

Morrisons Three Fish Roast

By -
At Christmas, we purchased a couple of Three Fish Roasts from Morrsions as an alternative to the usual turkey, which we also cooked.  We really liked the sound of the salmon, cod and smoked haddock combined into one roast. We cooked them as directed - 30 minutes at 180 degrees - and were delighted as they came out of the oven and the aroma wafted through the kitchen.  We left the turkey to rest and then carved it, so started to try to carve the three fish roast.  Sadly, it disintegrated at the slightest touch, so it became something of a plate of loose, random chunks of fish.  Not many people went for it! When we tasted it, though, it was very pleasant indeed. So, how to solve the problem of the collapsing roast? It was simple, in the end.  We had some puff pastry in the freezer.  We purchased another three fish roast and simply rolled the fish in the pastry, piercing a couple of holes for any steam to escape.  In the oven for 40 minutes a...
