The Top Ten Terrifying Costumes Noel Edmonds has Worn for Deal or No Deal Specials

Deal or No Deal is one of the top daytime quiz shows. With it's unpredictable game play and Noel's way of whipping up every game into the Most Important One Ever, it's remained popular on our screens since 2005.

Every so often they put on a themed week. Love Week, Circus Week, the rather odd Dark Woods Week, and for each Noel gets a make over which always seems to include a face full of make up. Here are the top terrifying costumes he has work during the series. 

You can play Deal or No Deal Bingo on  the Paddy Power website, as well as a full selection of bingo games online to choose from.

Northern Ireland Readers- Make a Unique Bird Box at Springhill This Sunday

 

I love these beautiful bird boxes and am delighted that the team at Springhill have offered to handmake one for me. Its all part of Bird Box Day which is taking place this Sunday from 1-5pm at Springhill, Moneymore.  There will be a display of bird boxes and nests along with demos of how to make bird boxes.  Kids can even make bird crafts, feeders and snacks to take home! These would definitely look good in any garden!

Sneak Those Veggies Into Dinner Time with Pop Chef for only £9.99

Remember going to the Ideal Homes Exhibition when you were a kid? There was always a fun cutting novelty for making food shapes that Mum wouldn't buy. Well now you can get the Pop Chef for only £9.99 and it's safe for over 3 year olds to use as it doesn't have blades. Affordable, safe, quick, easy, dishwasher safe.

You can make appealing, party fruit kebabs (sticks are included in the pack). Or how about saving some pennies and shaping toast, cheese and ham and sending it to school for break instead of packs of Dairylea Lunchables. This way you can use fresh produce with no additives. 

As you can see above the Pop Chef is also useful for pretty and simple bun or cake decoration. I was very excited to try this product out; I'm the sort of adult does buy Lunchables, for themselves!

You have six different shapes and the ends are incredibly hassle free to swap over. I tried cutting Apple, yellow pepper and toast. All cut easily. When I went to pop them however, I came stuck a little. I squeezed the orange pump and the apple didn't budge. I worked out there's a trick to it. You smack the palm of you hand down on the top of the orange part like you would to get tomato sauce out of the end of a ketchup bottle. This works a treat and the shape literally pops audibly out of the tube. So if you child is using the Pop Chef themselves, they may need to practice that part or have your help.

As it is my son is a fussy eater, so the Pop Chef will be getting used regularly from now on.

Trolls With a Positive Message- Love Your Zelf

Remember when trolls were collectible, big haired toys, and not nasty online beings? Zelfs are spiky haired creatures of the troll tradition, with the positive tag line, 'Love your Zelf'.

This month in my Junior column I talked about gender stereotypes with toys, and Zelfs are a good example. They are certainly what you'd expect to be a 'girl's toy', with feminine colours, hairbrushes as accessories and charms that come with each figure. However my son loves Zelfs, and already owned a number of them from the original collection that came out last autumn. 

In fact when I mentioned to him some Zelfs would be arriving for him to help me review, he was more excited about them than any of the traditional 'boy toys'  we've featured.

We played with the Toadstool Twirl and Swing Playset, priced £14.99, which comes with an exclusive, very cute, green Zelf. No batteries are required and it holds three medium Zelfs.

We also had one of the series two Masquerade Zelf figures. As I expected, Michael loved both. I'll even admit I wouldn't mind owning a few Zelfs for my toy cabinet, and they've sent me on a 1990s' troll doll hunt on eBay.
