Week 2 of the movie rundown and Friday seemed to have nothing on at all :-(

That said Saturday and Sunday make up for it with some proper corkers, I hope you agree. Read on for my rundown of the movies you just can't miss on the box this weekend.

Sure to stir many a memory of those hazy days of Summer back when you were kid, we just had to share this amazing illustration from the uber talented Carolyn Verkuyl

If, like us, a 10p jumbo icepop from the corner shop was a regular after school treat, we're betting you'll agree with everything about her Anatomy of a jumo freezie picture!

Only thing missing in our opinion is a mention of the nasty white section where you'd sucked all the flavour out already..... ugh!

And as a load of our facebook fans pointed out, for those of us who couldn't wait for the scissors and just bit the top off with our teeth, there was also the dreaded jaggedy edges and then obligatory spitting out of bits of plastic to navigate before you could get to the good stuff!

Mmmmmmm......

Check it out below and prepare for the stirrings of nostalgia folks!

Now if only that corner shop still existed!

Here are TruffleShuffle.com we are often asked to help out with various charity organisations and fundraising events and while we would love to be able to help everyone it is not always possible and so we like to select a couple of requests each month, that we feel we are able to assist in some way.

Recently we received an email from Callum Reece, Radio Presenter and Voiceover Artist, who contributes a lot of his time to different charity causes, helping to raise as much awareness and of course money, as possible. Having read about the latest charity Callum has chosen to support we wanted to contribute to all the fab efforts so far.

Callum has pledged his support to the Charlie Hook Appeal. Charlie is a 6 year old boy with an aggressive form of cancer and as part of the Charlie Hook Appeal, Callum is trying to help raise £300,000 for potentially life saving treatment abroad for 6 year old Charlie.

Please read on to hear from Charlie’s Mum Nicola and to see how you can help Charlie’s Appeal:

"On the 10th January 2011, on his 5th birthday, my beautiful son Charlie was diagnosed with high risk, stage 4 Neuroblastoma. An aggressive and difficult to treat childhood cancer. I can not describe the shock and shear devastation. He has had to endure months of intensive and invasive tests, chemotherapy, surgery and will shortly begin radiotherapy and immunotherapy. I am literally watching my once lively, happy, cheeky and outgoing baby go through hell and back in hope that he gets better. This is a living nightmare. Charlie is a fighter and tries so hard to keep a smile on his face because he knows this will make his mummy smile too. He has so far responded well to treatment but there is a very high relapse rate. The UK has no relapse protocol. In this event, I refuse to be told there is nothing more that can be done, I simply will not accept this. Its my job as his mummy to go to the ends of the earth and back to save him.

Unfortunately this comes at a price, a 6 figure price for treatment abroad. Charlie needs to be able to have instant access to money to pay for treatment that the UK cannot offer. It is impossible to predict if, how, or where Charlie could relapse, but the fact is that he does stand a terribly high chance of suffering some sort of relapse within the next 5 years, with most relapsing within the first 2 years. Treatments range in price from around £150,000, though should Charlie relapse in the brain, something that is happening more and more, we would need to be ready with a deposit of around £300,000 for live saving treatment in America.
