Fun in the tub!

May 22nd, 2009

I have decided that the husband and I deserve a nice treat, we both work hard and are very careful with money so I think it is OK to splurge now and then!

We decided that with the summer fast approaching and the fact we actually have a nice bigish garden since moving to the new house we should get something we can enjoy in the great outdoors in the good weather.

We considered upgrading out BBQ or getting a nice Gazebo, but ultimately decided on a hot tub! I am so excited I can’t even tell you, I don’t think I have ever even used a hot tub before never mind owned one. It’ll be a great way to relax together and enjoy each others company in the evenings :)

Of course we still need to be on the look out for a cheap hot tub, although we are having a treat we still need to be savvy about it – there’s no point in throwing money away! We’d only need a small one, although it would be nice to have a bigger one so people can use it when they come over a 2 person hot tub is really the most sensible option.

I will let you know when we get it :)

Excite Truck

March 17th, 2009

I got this in the post the other day, as part of my rental trial and I just played it earlier today — I really like it, it reminds me a little bit of Stunt FX which was on the N64 if I remember rightly.

I prefer it to Mario Kart any way, I was never sold on the Wii version of that…you can be the best racer by far but still lose due to getting battered by power ups. In Excite truck it’s not just about the best racer, it’s about who can drive with the most tricks and style.

Yup, I think I am going to like this…I am even tempted to get a wheel to play it with :)

Wii Games

March 11th, 2009

I have a whole bunch of new Wii games that I am excited to get my teeth sunk into.

The first one I have already been playing a lot is Brain Training, I loved it on the DS and I love it on the Wii as well — though I obviously need practice, even when I think I have done really well I only manage a C+!

I also have Mario Galaxy, Zelda, Zack and Wiki and Boom Blox — it’s going to be a fun few weeks on the Wii alright :)

Borrowed Wii Fit

January 23rd, 2009

I have been considering buying Wii Fit but it is a lot of money so I wanted to test it out first — so hubby borrowed it from a work friend for me over the weekend and I played it as much as I could so that I could get a feel for it.

I have to say, not that impressed.

The balance games were fun and I enjoyed the jogging but other than that I don’t really see what is so great about it.

If it cost about half as much as it does I would snap it up, but I am not sure it’s worth the expense.

Maybe the more I got into it and the more games and exercises that became available to me the more I would enjoy it? hmm, what to do, what to do.

So who am I?

January 21st, 2009

Well how rude, in my excitement to get blogging I completely forgot to introduce myself to you!

My name is Anne, I am 29 years old and was born and bred in the UK but moved out to America two years ago to be with my man.

We are moving house in a few months time. We are getting married in December 2009. We currently have no children and no plans to have any any time soon. I work from home full time doing a variety of things.

I have lost 5 stone over the last two years.
I love Nintendo and am always playing my Wii, NDS and N64.
I love nothing more than a good shopping session and am the bargain queen.
I love television, especially reality shows and soaps.

And that is me in a nut shell :)
