Random observations about people and stuff.

Christmas Is Nearly Here

Source: hazel eyes
Tuesday 30th September 2008, 3:06pm

It's October tomorrow by jingo, which means it's nearly that time of year when we all spend too much on pressies, booze and food.

I dont' mind christmas persai, not into the religious stuff, but as an excuse to get together with family, eat and drink a bit too much, its cool.

As the years are passing, I'm getting older and its increasingly difficult to know what to ask for as a present. This year myself and my sister have come to a no-pressie agreement to save money passing round in circles. Just the rest of the family to convince now lol

This year, both of us need all new motorbike stuff, which isn't cheap. I'm thinking I may try and get a 0% interest credit card to put it on as if we buy it all at once, even in the sales, we won't be able to pay it off in 1 month.

Talking of sales, thats the other thing that helps me build up a nice healthy credit card balance (for the credit card company). Nearly irrestible bargains abound, especially things like Silly Billys laptops which are continually dropping anyway and its all too easy to hand over the plastic.

Interior Decoration Bargain Hunting

Source: hazel eyes
Wednesday 24th September 2008, 5:11pm

Decorating your house is an ongoing task. As soon as you've been once around, its time to start over.

Usually I only spend money in the sales, when I can convince myself I'm getting a good price. These days it seems that there is a never ending supply of sale items - invariably there are clearance items, managers specials etc in most outlets.

Compare Prices - Make Sure Its A Bargain

Changing the light shades in a room can totally change the feel of it I think, when I want to update a room, that's one of the first things I look for as its a fairly cheap thing to do and easy to apply when you get it home.

I don't actually mind painting too much once I get started, its the rubbing down of door frames and skirting boards which is annoying, messy and hurts after a while.

It often amazes me the deals that you can get in Living room furniture, it seems you buy 1 item, get another half price, which also comes with a free accessory.

Fun in the Sun

Tuesday 16th September 2008, 5:02pm

Wow, a weekend with that yellow object bobbing about in the sky!

Actually Saturday was a bit cloudy and drizzly in Exeter, but Sunday was pretty good.

Jobs To Do In The Sun

The first thing to do was clear up the garden, last weekend we attacked the hedges and back lawn leaving piles of brambles, privet hedge and grass to dry out so as not to be so prickly and difficult to stuff into bags. We even had to buy some shears things to reach the top of the privet hedge.

A trip to the dump left the front garden empty and in need of cutting. Whilst my other half saw to that, I decided to take the vacuum cleaner to the car and wash it too as its been a bit starved of attention lately.

Compare Prices Of Our Work

The price hubby paid for doing the lawn was being a bit knackered and covered in grass - he had to use the strimmer as our lawn mower died, whilst I was clean, and reasonably fresh. Just to make him feel even better I found a couple of spots on the car which need attending to.

Anti-Social Websites

Source: hazel eyes
Wednesday 3rd September 2008, 2:38pm

It's not just Pasty's anti-social networking we need to be worried about, an increasing number of websites are down-right nasty these days.

The Pasty Muncher is angry about the inconvenience of having to log in to many websites and blogs just to leave a comment. Whilst I am sympathetic - it is a pain, without these precautions the sites would soon be overrun by comment spam.

Online Threats

1 in 1000 websitescontain malware of some description, so it is increasingly important to protect yourself online. BT NetProtect is one service which has teamed up with one one the field leaders, Norton, to provide a range of products including antivirus software, firewall software and security software to keep you safe online.

No need to panic just yet Kim, as you keep yourself up to date and protected, it should be fairly painless in the virtual world, apart from typing logins of course!
