If you need to get your business ideas in front of the public in person, then Camelback Displays is the company that can help you. They offer a full exhibition service for any company needing to make their mark at trade show displays or presentations. Whatever type of display is appropriate, they are sure to [...]

Online Prices

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Do you like shopping online? This is a silly question to ask my better half. She is totally taken up in the mania for online comparison sites, and she assures me that every time she spends money she is actually making a saving. She started out by visiting merchants’ individual sites, getting great online discounts. [...]

In case of emergency

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

As a recent beginner to working for myself I have had to set up a lot of the benefits that had always been there automatically when I was in a big organisation, for example Self-Employed Health Insurance which is essential in case I find that I am unable to carry on earning due to illness.  [...]

Card revenge

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

So the latest victims of the credit crunch are the very people who have been using their cards responsibly. If you have not heard, thousands of credit card customers of Egg got the pink slip form their card company this week, of course the company claimed these clients were not a good risk. But in [...]

I want to go there

Monday, January 28th, 2008

I am really starting to think about how to turn the much-predicted downturn to my advantage. After the fuss over here last September with the run on one of our banks, parallels are being drawn with the US subprime market. Over there we have seen photos of people outside the houses they bought, having been [...]

My advice

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

There is a refreshingly down to earth website that brings a little sanity to financial advice here in the UK, called the Motley Fool. Apart from their prediction of house price falls of twenty per cent this year I rather like their style. Whether or not their prediction proves to be true they are offering [...]

Where to get cash

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

I have noticed since the turmoil on world markets began last year that actually more and more of us are being affected by lenders’ changing policies, meaning we may not get a loan application accepted by the first company we approach. Fortunately it is now quite easy to shop around if you have a less [...]

Ringing

Friday, January 18th, 2008

I am old enough to remember the days when mobile phones used a set of standard incoming call alerts and I was amazed to see how the whole market for Free Ringtones has literally exploded.  Now any self respecting phone user under the age of thirty – and often those who are much older – [...]

Trouble brewing

Monday, January 7th, 2008

I have been talking to my nearest about kitchen equipment and there has been a slight disagreement between us over the choice of certain gadgets that I see as essential in a well-equipped home.  When it comes to coffee, I dislike the instant stuff and for that reason my krups coffee maker has pride of [...]

My Italian Quest

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

This summer I have promised myself that I will return to Italy to walk in the Cinque Terre villages above the Gulf of Genoa. It is more than twenty years since I had the pleasure of staying in a rural Italian hotel and I cannot wait to go back there. This is an area that [...]
