Need Business Cards

May 17th, 2010

Does any one know where I can get discount business cards? We need to order a lot at work and the bosses are feeling tight with the budget so we are either going to get a lot less for fewer people or find a really really hot deal on them.

I said that I would try and find a killer bargain online but so far nothing much has turned up, they seem to be around the same sort of price whichever website you order them from.

I really want to be able to find some because I want every one in the office to be able to get theirs – some of the guys have never had business cards before and were really happy and excited about it when we told them. I don’t want to have to go back to them now and tell them that they won’t be getting any afterall and it will just be for the managers :(

Photo Postcards

May 17th, 2010

I didn’t even know you could get photo postcards but someone sent me one a few days ago – I was so impressed by it. They are in Australia at the moment and know that I am so jealous so they got a picture of themselves on the neighbours tour – stood by the Ramsey Street sign and put it on a postcard with the caption.

“You WISH you were here :P

It’s true I do wish that I were there and the card gave me a real chuckle. I am a fan of sending and receiving personalized cards and the like so am glad to have discovered this – the next time I go away on vacation I will definitely be creating some photo postcards myself and sending them back home to my friends and family. I hope that they will appreciate them as much as I appreciated getting this one through the mail :)

An exciting Saturday

May 15th, 2010

I’m heading out to best buy with my friend in a while and this makes me super excited – ah what has my life become when I consider this an exciting way to spend my Saturday! She’s just moved into a new apartment and needs to buy lots of goodies to go in it so she’s invited me along because she knows I love all that decorating malarkey :)

Looking for car insurance

May 15th, 2010

I was just looking around trying to find a good New Jersey car insurance company that I can deal with online – I say ‘I’ but I actually mean my aunt as she’s the one I am looking on behalf of – I always seem to get roped into doing this for my friends and family as they seem to think I am some major Internet expert, well I am :P , but they could very easily do these things themselves if they wanted to!

Get off, get off!!!

I could really do with some quick weight loss right about now, I have been very sensible in my weight loss journey and lost the weight slowly but surely – now I am down to those last pesky few pounds it’s taking a lifetime to get there. I’d kill to be able to drop even a few pounds in a week, at the moment I am losing about 1 pound a month despite working out 2 hours a day 5 days a week and eating 1200-1400 calories.

Ding Dong!

We just got a new door chime and now I am wondering if it was such a smart decision. The problem is that I don’t generally hear the door when people knock on it so we thought – ah a door chime will fix that – but we forgot to take into account it means when people ring it while we are sleeping it will also wake us up. Doh.

Use Shopwiki, all the smart kids do it!

May 5th, 2010

As you know by now I love shopping, but more than that I love savvy shopping! I use a lot of websites to help me find the best possible prices and vouchers and the like when shopping. One thing I tend not to do is use sites with paid retailer adverts, although I am sure most are neutral I prefer to use someone completely independent such as ShopWiki.com.

I was looking for a Home Theater set for my dad a few months ago and found browsing their electronics section a great experience, the site is very simple and intuitive to use, the search function works really well and I ended up buying not only a TV for my dad but also an ipod touch for my nephews via retailers I found there!

ShopWiki.com is now bookmarked and placed highly in my ‘shopping’ bookmarks folder and I have already used it several times :)
