Trip planning made easy

On January 7, 2012, in Personal, by

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of My Travel Checklist. All opinions are 100% mine.

I wish I had known about My Travel Checklist last summer when I was preparing for my first trip abroad in many years – I had lists coming out of my ears and it caused me lots of stress, especially as it was not just me that I had to get ready but my other half and our son as well.

My Travel Checklist is a great application from Mondial Assistance that aims to make preparing for any trip a whole lot easier on you. You can download a simple check list that takes all the leg work out of preparing for you and then as you go along check off the items you have done – what’s great about it as well is that it is cross platform and will always be the most up to date version of your list no matter where you are.

I am sure I will use it in the future as we take quite a lot of shorter trips throughout the year, visiting friends and family up and down the country as well as having the odd night away when we can find cheap hotel rooms or pick up killer deals on sites like Groupon.

Find out how much you could be saving

On December 18, 2011, in Personal, by

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of ING Direct. All opinions are 100% mine.

It’s all about widgets now isn’t it?

Everyone has a widget available these days and I remember when hardly any one ever knew what they were and only the geeks and web nerds like me made or used them. The reason there are so many though is of course because they are incredibly useful and beneficial for both the people using them and the company offering them.

The latest widget I have been having fun with is from ING Direct – I just love the fact that you can use it to find out how much households in your area are saving. You can also use the handy ‘my comparison table’ to find out how much you could be saving – why not give it a go and leave a comment to let us know your results?

Myself and my family have a few Savings Accounts with ING Direct for years now and always found them fair and good to deal with – on the odd occasion I have needed to get in touch with their customer service team it’s always been a pain free experience and that can only be a good thing after hearing a lot of the rants my friends have when they need to get in touch with their banks.

Shopping trip here I come

On July 23, 2011, in Personal, Shopping, by

I need to pick up some boat covers this weekend but I am not sure where to get them from, I am very new to the boating world and so far have just had hand me downs from other people – this is the first item I have needed to buy and I don’t even know where to start, do they sell boating goods at places like Walmart or is it something I am better off buying online?

I go in Walmart all the time but I have never noticed a boating good section, but then I have never actually looked for one and I am the sort of person that only really sees what I am looking for. All the massive banners selling special offers and the like are usually lost on me as I just breeze straight passed them and hardly even take them in.

Ordering online seems to be the cheapest way with most things though, especially if you can find discount coupons or free shipping codes.

Well hello there…

On March 11, 2011, in Internet, Personal, by

…I get to see my husband tonight for the first time in about 12 days :)

To say I am excited is an understatement, I have missed him so much – however in a strange way it was sort of nice. When we first got together we were in a long distance relationship, for four years. So it sort of reminded me of our earlier years together and I found us doing things we had not done for many years, like chatting on the phone for longer than 30 seconds and we even had a few webcam sessions via MSN.

I wouldn’t want us to be apart for so long on a regular basis, but it was actually quite good fun at times :)

He’s coming jogging with me!

On February 28, 2011, in Fitness, Health, Personal, Sports, Weight Loss, by

I am so happy, the Husband has decided he’s going to start coming jogging with me — and I think he actually means it this time because earlier he was on a site looking at their Nike SB shoes range.

t have any decent footwear as his excuse not to come with me. Well actually that’s one of many excuses he has!

I don’t know if he actually ordered any or not, I don’t think so — but it is very promising that he was even looking.

Yay for me having a jogging buddy, and not just any jogging buddy — my gorgeous husband :)

Hello there :)

On December 27, 2010, in Blogging, Cooking, Fitness, Health, Internet, Personal, Sports, Tech, Weight Loss, by

Hello and welcome to my new site, I am so excited I can’t even begin to tell you.

I have run a few websites before by I always had a friend create them for me, I didn’t know anything about buying domain names or hosting and least of all setting up wordpress.

This time I decided I wanted to do it all myself, and it’s taken me a while to get it all right but now here I am on my own domain blogging away.
