Hallooo dear Dodopadlers!  Miss Peabody here!

As the vernal equinox rapidly approaches and the days become noticeably longer, my thoughts turn to spring and the soon-to-be warmer weather.  It’s time for Spring Cleaning here at Dodo Towers!  Time to brush away the cobwebs and air out the interior.  Time too to dust off my Household Stuff Book and get organised!

The Household Stuff Book is absolutely indodispensible for any household.  In fact, I don’t quite know how anyone can do without one in their domicile!  The book is stuffed to the gills with sanity-saving sections for everything a person and/or family needs to keep a household humming along.

The Household Stuff Book has sections for just about every household need imaginable.  It houses a wealth of information such as important numbers (phone and otherwise), and bills (paid and otherwise).  There is a section to help you keep up on the weekly activities of the whole family so you never forget which day is Daisy’s dance class and which is Sam’s swimming lessons. There’s also a section for annual reminders so those insurance renewals don’t creep up and surprise you any more.

There’s a place to record all those home details such as what colour paint you used on the bathroom walls as opposed to the sitting room (now which was Eggshell and which was Ecru?), measurements to fit window dressings, and household inventories.  And there are plenty of pockets for bills, receipts, appliance warranties and the like for safe keeping and easy reference.

There are also sections to plan and record all of those wonderful events that make a house a home: holidays, birthdays, Christmas preparations and more.  Plan those parties and compile those card lists in plenty of time to be enjoyed by all!

The Household Stuff Book houses all your stuff in one easy to access location, so there’s no more forgetting where you put that paint sample, stowed that card, or jotted that number.  It brings domestic bliss!

And now until March 31st, you can get 20% off the Dodo Household Stuff Book!  Just enter code 09ES at checkout.

So don’t delay, get your household in order and you’ll be on your way to a happy spring!

What sort of springtime preparations are you up to these days?  Do post a comment and tell us all about it!

Toodle-oo for now!

Hallooo, dear Dodopadlers! Miss Peabody here.

The much-anticipated National Doodle Day is at last upon us! Those of you using the Dodo Pad and/ or Acad-Pad diaries will see this glorious event noted March 5th. For those of you who are tragically without a Dodo Pad diary this year, read on to get all the information you need here!

National Doodle Day benefits two very important charities: Epilepsy Action, and The Neurofibromatosis Association. Your doodle, with your ₤1 donation, will help the thousands of people in the UK whose lives are affected by epilepsy and neurofibromatosis. Your assistance will help tremendously!

And as an incentive to you, the two doodles deemed best (one each in the Under 17s and Over 17s) will be featured in an upcoming edition of the Dodo Pad and/ or Acad Pad diaries, with the winners receiving their very own free diary showcasing their winning doodle!

And as if that weren’t enough to send your blood racing and your fingers doodling, there are more prizes to be won! See www.nationaldoodleday.org.uk for more details (and to get additional doodle entry forms).

Lord Dodo himself will judge the doodles. He is very much looking forward to observing your artistic genius.  The closing date is March 31st, so submit your entry without delay!

Happy doodling, and good luck!

Toodle-oo for now,

Miss P

Colossus of Rhodes

Hallooo, dear Dodopadlers!   Miss Peabody here!

After a hectic few weeks here at Dodo Towers things are finally starting to settle down a bit.  Lord Dodo has been exceedingly busy getting next year’s Dodo Pad diaries ready.  As per usual they will be full of his mirth and wily wit.  Even though this year has only just begun, already work is in full swing for next year’s 2011 versions and the 2010/11 Acad-Pad range is printed and winging its way to us as I type!  Miss Davinia Dalrymple in Stock Control here at Dodo Towers, has advised us to produce plenty of Dodo Pads for the upcoming year to avoid Dodopadlers’ disappointment from missing out on their beloved diary!  So Lord D has exercised his creative brilliance yet again and, as usual, we’ve a plethora of Dodo Produce sure to please.

Now he is due for a much-deserved break.  In order to preserve his above-mentioned mirth, he must take occasional breaks from his noble work and head off for a holiday in a relaxing location.  He frequently chooses to go to the Dodolomites for his rest and relaxation.  But this time (considering the frightful winter we’ve had) his Lordship has chosen a warmer destination.  Very soon he’ll be off to the Dodecanese Islands of Greece!

“Dodecanese” refers to the twelve main islands in this chain, located in the Aegean Sea.  The most famous of the Dodecanese is the island of Rhodes, former location of the Colossus of Rhodes which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.  Sadly, none of it stands today, but Rhodes is still a spectacular destination.  I’m sure Lord Dodo will have a splendid time wandering about the Old Town Gardens and the ancient Olympic stadium.

While he is off enjoying his holiday, I will of course be here holding the fort and running the show.  Of course when Lord Dodo’s work is done, for the rest of us here at Dodo Towers, ours has just begun and I endeavour to keep things here humming along like the well-oiled machine Lord D expects.

Despite the ongoing chill, I know that spring is just around the corner!  How will you be finishing up your winter?  Any big plans for the upcoming weeks?

Wrap up warm, and toodle-oo for now!
