That is a brilliant idea, do they weigh a lot?

Just looked on interweb - it's a product that's come from Dragons den! :really

They are on sale over the net - google Cush n Shade and look at all the options
given as the prices really do vary - depending on the seller and in some cases, the
colour you choose!

Only downside is they do weigh 800g, which if your luggage allowance is only 15kg is quite a lot. Great idea though!!

Hope this link works as some may find them useful. I used these last year and managed to fit a bit more in the wardrobe - a family of four and one wardrobe between us isn't good but found these helped. There are loads of similar products if you have a look but these are really light and take up little room in your case.

Hi,

I ordered 2 of the cush n shades from here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cush-Shade-Portable-Sunshade-Cushion/dp/B0012GNIFU/ref=pd_sim_lp_1

They are really natty, not too big either, off to Sharm on monday so will be taking them with us. They come in their own little bag & are not that heavy.

Wouldn't it be great if someone came up with something that clips on to the sunlounger to hold your book :que You wuldn't have your arms or book putting parts of your body in the shade then :D

shirley that'd be a fabby idea!!!

with regards to "watermarks" on copies of passports...scan it, go to file, print, properties and in there it should say "watermarks", then you should be able to choose from confidential, draft, copy, sample etc etc. Hope that makes sense!!!

I don't know about photocopying passports, but last week someone at work copied a driving licence to send away for a job application to prove he could drive. When it came through the copier, the blank part that is watermarked DLA had changed to FAKE. Magic or what???

I tried to photocopy my p60 last week. All the original details of the form were there, but everything that had been completed about my personal details ie address, name, earnings etc were missing. So the photocopy was in fact useless.

Loving HT tips :) last year bought the beach spike - no more hanging onto the parasol on a windy beach. Have just ordered a Cush n Shade. Keep them coming.

I have a "Sound asleep" pillow.. a normal pillow with a speaker in it so you can listen to your Mp3 player while you nod off. I use it every night to listen to podcasts I've downloaded.. I'd love a Cush'n'shade with a speaker in it. I'm forever falling asleep in the sun but having my iPod earbuds in can get uncomfortable. Can some clever person invent one, please?

I give my little one a spoonful of calpol half an hour before the flight just so it eases on her ears. Also try and fit in a feed time with landing or take off - sucking will help with their ears. Dummy is good too.

Take a book that's fun - like stickers - easier than crayons that keep rolling off those stupid tables on the plane.

Saw some little fleece blankets in Poundland earlier in the week with all the baby stuff... been thinking that they may be useful for the plane (maybe not quite as big as the ones they sell for £5 `ish) but I`m sure would do the job. Am going to get 3 tomorrow for our flights next weekend.

i carried a pashmina to put around me on the plane, u can use it if you feel chilly of an evening when you get to your destination xphx

my latest one is to take solid shampoo bars (available at lush

Are they just as good abroad with the hard water? We're off to the Dom Rep - so its not going to be so easy just to pop out & buy some shampoo if they don't.
