Our stones

Friday, January 4th, 2008

I have suddenly got a completely different attitude to the whole world of jewellery following a little incident on Christmas Day when I went down on one knee and she said Yes!! Now we are looking at all sorts of diamond estate jewelry until she finally makes up her mind as to how many rocks [...]

US trip

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

We are hoping to go – finally to the States this summer, and we are not really the kind of people who like to be restricted by the timetables of hotels on our vacations so we have been checking out a site that lists holiday homes on behalf of the owners and when you make [...]

Cheap TVs

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

I first found out about buying brand new electricals at discount last year when I found graded designer kettle at a thirty per cent saving. Then last week I heard about an equivalent service offering TVs in the same way. They are called Second Act, retailing HDTVs and similar online at excellent savings. They are [...]

Cartridge choice

Monday, December 31st, 2007

Next time I am going away

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

You can give your home a light boost to carry you through the dark months by visiting the experts in light fixtures and save a packet against what [...]

Save a lot

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

I am glad to know that my partner and I are keeping up with the trends, as we complete yet another online shopping order. The attraction of completing our present purchases without having to travel to the shops is enough, but now we have discovered the savings possible with online coupons, we are becoming quite [...]

Lighting up

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

My partner has been glued to the laptop screen lately, making last minute online purchases. The first weekend of December was wet and miserable, and after that online shopping has become a way of life. I had not fully appreciated exactly how many reputable merchants make a full range of goods available to buy easily [...]

Christmas is coming and our goose is definitely getting fat, which is the best way to be at this time of year when the temperature dips. Here in Britain we have a number of places that are absolute top destinations for the celebrations. If you would like to see the capital at Yuletide you can [...]
