Free iPod for Signing up at Sky?

Posted in Shopping on Thursday, March 18th, 2010 at 12:24 by Sarah Evans.

Yes, you read that correctly. Sky TV is giving away free iPods to new customers that sign up online. There are only 5000 available, so you had best hurry and sign up now! The cost for digital television is decreasing dramatically. If the iPods are gone by the time you get there, you should still check out the latest deals. You can get a free Sky box and many other things for £18 per month. They have broadband, phone service, and just about anything else you could want. Even the larger packages are about half of what I pay now. I think I must live on the one place on the planet where I cannot get Sky. Maybe I need to move.

Auctions Abound!

Posted in Shopping on Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 at 11:38 by Sarah Evans.

Auctions are dangerous for people like me. What I mean is that it is so easy to get caught up in the moment and bid more than your pocketbook can bear. I am currently bidding on a new laptop. Naturally, I have shopped around a lot to find the best prices but I just could not resist trying an online auction. The bargain shopper in me just took over.

Manicures for the Entire Family

I just finished giving myself a quick manicure. I am not sure why but every time I finish, I think of something I have to do right away. Of course, the polish isn’t dry and the whole thing gets all buggered up. Then I end up redoing everything all over again.

Gifts for the Garden

I was in a shop today and came across the garden section that had cute little statues to place around in flower beds and the like. I am not much of a cute little statue person, rather, I would prefer something quite unusual and maybe even bordering on bizarre like a scrap metal sculpture or strange looking rocks. Although I do have to say that the collection of frogs made me grin.

Need Help with Education?

Posted in General on Friday, March 12th, 2010 at 12:38 by Sarah Evans.

I don’t think anyone can overstress the need for a good education if one wants to succeed in life. It doesn’t matter what kind of education, necessarily. It could be a university degree, apprenticeship, on the job training, or whatever. It’s just that a skill set is important to compete in a difficult world.

Do You Have Bathroom Remodelling Woes?

Posted in Uncategorized on Thursday, March 11th, 2010 at 12:09 by Sarah Evans.

Last night I had drinks at the pub with a friend who had somehow gotten himself involved in helping a friend remodel two bathrooms at another friend’s restaurant. I suppose that wouldn’t be so bad except that they had to work at night to keep the restaurant open. Anyone who has ever remodelled a loo knows how difficult it can be. Doing it under such time and budget constraints is even worse.

Allergies and How to Deal with Them

Posted in General, eComparison on Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 at 12:37 by Sarah Evans.

I can’t say that I am an expert in many areas but when it comes to allergies, I know more than my fair share. I have had allergies all my life. Sometimes they were so debilitating that I could not get out of bed or could not breathe. I would not wish those things on anyone.

Need a New Car Loan?

Posted in Insurance, Loans, eComparison on Tuesday, March 9th, 2010 at 13:01 by Sarah Evans.

Every spring I look at my car and try to decide if this is the year I will buy a new one. I really don’t need a new car. In fact, I like mine quite a lot. It’s just that when I am driving by car dealerships and see all the pretty new cars on the lot, it is hard to look away. I like shiny. I like new. My car is great but it is neither of those things.

What is Organic?

Posted in Uncategorized, eComparison on Monday, March 8th, 2010 at 12:29 by Sarah Evans.

There are many companies out there advertising “Organic” products though few seem to know what that truly means. I am a label reader by nature. It started with food because of allergies and eventually spread to other things. Now I take more notice than ever of what is supposed to be organic. By definition, anything organic must be grown and or manufactured using only natural ingredients: no pesticides, chemicals, etc. I am sure there are exceptions but for all intents and purposes here, that is how I see it. If that is the case, then how can some companies get away with selling decidedly UNorganic foods and products? To be perfectly honest, I haven’t a clue.

Ready for Fishing Season?

Posted in Fun, General, Shopping on Friday, March 5th, 2010 at 13:36 by Sarah Evans.

Today I was reading a book about a man who decided to take a boat around the world, despite the fact that it kept sinking. I haven’t finished the book but I think I read where it actually sank eight times. I am not sure why the man kept trying to sail it other than the fact that he was obviously incredibly stubborn.
