Need Double Glazing

May 14th, 2009

When we moved into this house we knew that we’d need to hurry up and get double glazing, can you believe it doesn’t already have it? I thought that it was pretty much standard these days, especially in newly built houses? Any way we knew that it didn’t have it before we bought the place and decided to go for it any way.

Idyllic apartments

May 14th, 2009

If you are looking for information about Baltimore apartments then why not take a look at Avalon Communities at AvalonCommunities.com. They offer help and information for those looking to rent apartments in Baltimore, Illinois, Southern California and so many other places across the country. They deal mainly in luxury apartments for professional and well off people, the sort of places most of us can only dream of or only ever see on TV!

Their apartments in Baltimore are just moments away from all the big attractions and points of interest, including the Hippodrome and M&T Stadium.

Sounds idyllic doesn’t it?

Just because…

May 14th, 2009

…a woman is overweight, doesn’t mean she wants to bury herself behind a tent. Believe it or not some women still want to look hot and fashionable – if all the skinny girls are wearing neon leggings then dammit fat people should be able to as well if they want to, right?

Plus size clothing in my experience is not only more expensive, which makes sense I guess as more material needs to be used, but also usually unflattering and not in keeping with the latest trends.

When I was overweight there was no worse feeling than having to go shopping for something knowing that I’d usually come away feeling crappy about myself because nothing in the ‘regular’ stores would fit or look right on me.

2553redI wish I had known about PlusSizeFix.com back then, they have loads of gorgeous and fashion forward items for the bigger ladies – shopping on a site like that would be a much more encouraging experience and really highlights that you don’t need to be stick thin to look great.

I struggled so much to get a dress I felt confident in for my brothers wedding a few years ago, but they have loads of beautiful ones that I would have been proud to wear and looked great in :)

Find the best rates

May 13th, 2009

If you need help finding the best motorcycle insurance rates then checkout MonitorBankRates.com, they offer information and a wealth of information on finding the best rates for every thing from motorbike insurance to general bank rate information. I have found the site useful in the past and hope that you will do now in the future also :)

New Specs?

May 13th, 2009

So apparently I might need new glasses, or rather, I might need to start wearing glasses again. I have not worn them for many years now, not since I left school and was told I no longer needed them.

I was sad because I had always enjoyed wearing eyeglasses, I think that they suit me a lot :)

Now because I spend so much time on the computer and often get migraines my doctor has suggested an eye test and thinks that that might be my problem. He said he’s almost certain I will be told I need to wear them again!

If you live in Australia and are looking for somewhere to purchase your spectacles then take a look at AusSpecs.com.au, they are a well known and respected retailer with 1000s of happy customers who offer pretty amazing prices on all their eye wear, you can currently get then for under $50, which I am sure you will agree is cheap — there’s no way that you’d be able to get ones of the same quality on the high street for any where near that price.

I hope I am told I need them, I want some nice sexy square black geeky ones, I will be disappointed if they end up saying I still don’t need them.

Love Dressing Up For Halloween

May 13th, 2009

I love shopping for Halloween Costumes and I am already thinking about what I am going to dress as for 2009. I also usually end up getting the costumes for my friends and family because I enjoy it so much, my husband leaves the choice entirely up to me and the first he knows about what he’s going to be wearing is when it is presented to him on the evening it’s going to be worn :)

They have loads of really cool and unique costumes at CostumeMachine.com, I was just browsing their ‘sexy’ category which is not something I usually do, but this year that might have to change given that I have lost so much weight and actually feel like I could pull off sexy this year, hmm :)

New York New York!

May 10th, 2009

Who has ever dreamed of having a job in New York? I know I have, there’s just something so glamorous about the idea of it and actually there are a lot of New York jobs available as it is such a huge area and arguably the business capital of the country!

For me it’s just a pipe dream, but if you are serious about moving to the big smoke and getting a job in New York then take a look at RealMatch.com, they aim to find the perfect match of employee seeking employer and vice versa.

Hope it will be helpful to someone reading this.

The Great Outdoors

May 10th, 2009

LAPoliceGear.com sell all kinds of clothing and accessories for all kinds of outdoor fun, from Blackhawk vests to Galco leather holsters. They are a well known and respected company that offer already really low prices, I have never seen some of these products at a similar price. At the moment their prices are even cheaper because if you enter code ‘MAY09′ at check out you can get an additional 15% off your order – the code expires tomorrow however, so use it quickly if you plan to!

I might just have to gear my husband out in some new stuff this year so we can have a fun summer in the great outdoors :)

Love Water Sports

May 8th, 2009

I was searching for jet ski rentals fort lauderdale fl for my friend who is visiting there in a few months time as part of her travels across the country, which by the way I am totally jealous of. I have always wanted to travel but have always had something holding me back, whether it be something physically in the way such as a job or just mentally because I am nervous about it!

We’ve been talking a lot lately about her plans, as I as the designated Internet expert, am helping her with a lot of them and I might join her somewhere along the way for at least a few weeks. I’d like to make it while she’s in Florida because I love water sports, I love being out on the water and I love riding fast vehicles so I have the time of my life on the odd occasion I get the chance to get on a jet ski!

You can rent all sorts of water sports equipment at AmericanWaterSports.net, a well known, established and respected company. They also offer pilates and reformer classes and so much more, it really is a great place for us water sports fans :)

Money Money Money

May 8th, 2009

When it comes to credit cards and finances in general I am on the ball, I am sensible with money and always do my research. I have a Visa Debit card, a few credit cards, an ISA and some loans but it’s all completely under control.

I took control of my husbands finances when we got together as well, he wasn’t so good with money and if I wasn’t already in the know I sure would have been after sorting his mess out.

VisionPrepaid.com has loads of information on the Vision Premier Prepaid Visa® Card, something I admittedly didn’t know a lot about. I think I may get one instead of using my bank.
