Best holiday ever! England and Wales, 2016.
Do you have to board a plane and travel to far-a-way destinations to experience a great family holiday? No! For our family holiday 2016 we never left the United Kingdom. A few weeks of careful planning and ‘investigating’ and I had the ultimate family road-trip planned. Armed with nothing but an iPhone and Google Maps we set off on what became both an adventure and the trip of a lifetime!

Oven Cleaning, a Gift of Freedom!
Do you know someone who loves cooking and baking, but hates cleaning their oven? Chances are you do – data collated from surveys carried out by the Daily Mirror1, the Bristol Post2 and the Courier3 (Kent & Surrey) in 2015 revealed that oven cleaning is the UK’s most hated household chore, followed closely by cleaning the fridge, windows (especially on the outside) and the bathroom. Vacuuming (particularly stairs) is in fifth place of Britain’s most hated chores list. Other jobs that made the top 20 list of hated jobs in and around the house include:
- Defrosting the freezer, ironing and dusting
- Removing long hair from plug holes
- Cleaning skirting boards and underneath and behind furniture
- Repairing damaged tiles and polishing ornaments and silverware
- Repairing/sewing clothes, clearing out wardrobes and painting garden fences
- Repairing the toilet flush and clearing out food cupboards
- Organising garages or sheds and mowing lawns
It appears that cleaning the oven is particularly hated partly because ovens have the capacity to get extremely dirty very quickly – and because it is such a loathed job, it is put off over and over, until it seems impossible to ever get it clean again.
Make a Special Occasion Extra Special
You can make someone’s day by having their oven cleaned for them by a member of The Association of Approved Oven Cleaners (TAAOC). All members are fully trained and in compliance with Health & Safety regulations. They are also working in strict compliance with the TAAOC’s ‘Customer Charter’, which ensures all customers are treated fairly and in a professional, lawful and ethical manner at all times and services are offered at reasonable rates.
Safe Cleaning
It also means that no harmful caustic or toxic substances will be used during the cleaning process. Oven racks and shelves will be effectively cleaned in specially designed dipping tanks, which are securely and safely installed in the back of every operator’s van. Highly skilled and experienced, TAAOC oven cleaners have all the necessary tools to restore your loved one’s oven back to its glorious ‘as new’ look quickly, Eco-friendly and without putting their health at risk.
A Gift of Freedom
By arranging for this dreaded task to be performed by professionals (at a time to suit you), you will not only treat them to a shiny clean oven, but also give them the freedom to use the time doing this unpleasant task would have taken to do something they enjoy – like read a good book, go for a walk in the park or spend some precious time with their family, for example.
A Gift for All Occasions
Practical and affordable, a professional oven clean is a gift that will be appreciated by anyone on any occasion, whether it is given for a birthday, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas or just as a thank you for all those lovely meals and cakes they make you.

Disney On Ice Silver Anniversary Celebration.
This Easter we had the most fantastic time at the SSE Arena in Belfast. The kids and myself went to see Disney On Ice Silver Anniversary Celebration on Easter Sunday. We have been to similar shows in the past and they are a firm favourite with me. The show never fails to surprise and delight both the kids and the adults. The themes and characters change from show to show but there are a few ‘staples’ that appear every time – or the kids would riot!! Read More
