Web Hosting Choice

I almost don’t want to say this because knowing my luck it will jinx it, but I am very happy with my current web hosting provider. I did a lot of research before picking them as my host on sites like WebHostingChoice.com — finding out not only what they offered and for how much, but also reading independent reviews about them and their competitors from people who actually use their service. I have been here for around six months now and as I say, so far so good, hopefully I will be staying here and won’t need to use a web hosting review site again myself any time in the near future.

 

All Brand Appliance Service

250px-kitten-a-washing-machine-9849Our washing machine broke down a few weeks ago, and oh my word what a pain that was — I wish I had known about the AAA All Brand Appliance service available at http://www.aaa-allbrandappliance.com/ then as it would have saved a lot of hassle.

It took me a few days to even really know I had a serious problem with it, we live in an old house and things often don’t work quite how they should so when I couldn’t get it working initially I didn’t think too much of it and asked my partner to have a look at it when he had the time (never ask a man to do something when he has the time, it never gets done lol). He then came back and said it was broken. Then I had to spend ages trying to find a repair service, you have to be careful with things like this so rather than just pick a random company I went around asking friends and family for personal recommendations, I eventually found a company but then had to arrange to take the washing machine to them and we don’t have a car so that meant trying to either borrow one or have a friend take it in for us — like I say it was a lot of hassle.

 

Dear Vacation…

…I love you, I wish we could spend more time together.

Seriously it feels like a lifetime since I was last away on vacation, and it was last June so that is what…a whopping ten months now, that’s too long for any one to go without a break, right?

rome-holiday-colosseum-fullI would love to get an apartment rental Rome for me and the fella like the ones on VacationRentalRome.com, somewhere quiet and picturesque, but close enough to action that we could venture out if we wanted to. I would love a vacation with a combination of relaxing — long nights in front of the fire and long lie ins in luxurious surroundings — and action — long days out hiking or throwing myself off buildings etc. That is my kinda vacation :)

It feels like even longer since I went abroad, and that’s because it is, a heck of a lot longer — for the last ten years I have been no further than Wales here in the UK because my darling husband to be refuses to go on a plane and I don’t really have any friends I would want to go with, all of my friends are either married so I would be the 3rd wheel, or single and bit time into clubbing and meeting guys — neither of which sounds like my kinda holiday!
