Double Glazing

glass__hollow_glass__double_glazing_glassWe’re getting the house double glazing sorted, hurrah! I can’t tell you how happy this makes me, for years my window has been a mess with moisture caught in between the two panes and we are finally going to get it redone meaning I get to actually see outside again :)

My nan recommended a double glazing stirling company she knows of called CentralScotlandJoinery.com and we are currently checking them out, along with a few other companies.

We will always take a personal recommendation above any advertising or the like we see, word of mouth really means a lot when it comes to things like this.

But we will see, we’re in no real rush to decide.

 

America’s Next Top Model Is…

tyra_070829095609646_wideweb__300x375-750978…maaaaaaaaan, I just found out who won America’s Next Top Model before I had the chance to watch the episode, drat. Don’t you just hate it when that happens?

Hey ho, at least it was my favourite who won, that rarely happens on the Next Top Model shows!

That’s reminded me though, a friend told me about a site called EveryStyle.co.uk that I was meaning to check out. You know how usually when you browse clothing sites you have to find something you like, then see if they have it in your size? With this site it is more of a fashion search engine you can just search for exactly what you want right off the bat, so if you are looking for a specific size or colour you can do just that. They also let you search particular merchants by price including some of my favourites like Dorothy Perkins and New Look :)

I wish I had known about it when I was searching like a mad woman for suitable shoes for the wedding I went to at the weekend, it sure would have saved me a lot of time and hassle. I think that the just reduced section is going to become my new best friend.

Shopping and Bargains? How can a girl resist.

 

Spammer, Moi?

I was singing my web site hosting providers praises just a few weeks ago, I knew I was going to jinx things by doing so.

Actually they are still pretty good, I don’t think I will be searching for the best budget hosting to replace them with any time soon.

webhosting1Someone complained that I was spamming them, even though they subscribed themselves to the list and could remove themselves at any time. It took many many many emails to my host to get across the fact that the person who complained was an idiot and I had done nothing wrong, but I think we got there in the end.

I did just have a look at the best Unix hosting as rated by WebHostingRating.com though, just so if I do decide to move I have a head start :)

 

Remember Driving School?

Remember the show attributed as the ‘First ever reality show’?, Driving School! You know the one that made maureen_driving_schoolMaureen an overnight star and followed several people as they took driving lessons — ahh the days of innocence. It feels like a life time ago, but at the same time I remember a lot of it vividly.

I hate to think how much dear useless Maureens auto insurance cost her, after the whole country had seen her fail her test so many times in such spectacular fashion! Although technically her poor record should not have counted against her as it was not logged any where legal, only on the telly?
