I am seriously going to find a new Internet provider soon, I keep saying it every time my current one annoys me but then forgetting about it once it starts working again! This time I mean it, I really need high speed internet!

I wish I could sign up to hughes net who have some great deals available at the moment and offer speeds of up to 3.0mbps — drool — compared to what I am currently getting that sounds like a dream.

I spend a lot of time uploading videos to youtube so for me the upload speed is as important as the download speed.

I found myself following the drama between Perez Hilton and the dude from the Black Eyed Peas…and I don’t know why because all that gossip mag malarkey is so not my thing. I usually poke fun at the people who follow trash like that!

I think Perez should call a Morristown personal injury lawyer and cry them a river — seriously, I had never heard him speak before but he sounds like a right whinging baby and is obviously only pursuing this for the attention/drama.

Lame.

I just got around to watching this weeks Apprentice UK, I only just got around to watching it as I had to wait for it to appear on iPlayer as my PVR failed to record it — don’t you just hate it when that happens.

Bet they wished they’d have used the backup exec open file option from EBackItUp.com
I think that the mistake made by the woman who ended up getting fired by Sir Alan has to be the biggest mistake any one has ever made on this show, I mean wow, there’s quite the difference between something costing £5 and something costing £700, and then losing the vital data that would have picked up the error and saved them. They should have used one of the many available online backup solutions, then they would not have even had to worry about it at all. It is such a shame because they actually made a good product and were able to sell it for a really good amount. eBackItUp.com is one such service they could have used — I just tried it out myself and it’s really simple to use, I think even my tech-not-so-savvy parents could cope with this. They use advanced technology to make sure that your data is safe and secure and I think I would be very happy to use their service.

Do you need someone to come around and do some back flow testing in San Francisco, if so then take a peak at AcePlumbingAndRooter.com who will do just that and a whole lot more for you

They are a very well known and respected plumbing firm in the San Francisco area and are experts in every thing from fixing faucets to carrying out inspections for you.

At the moment they have an online exclusive running where you can get a nice little 10% off your order, check the website for more details.

Whenever I think of plumbing I always think of the time when my parents went away leaving me home alone (well, with my brother) for the very first time ever and I came home from school to find the kitchen floor 3 inches deep in water! Oh my word did I panic, I had no idea what to do or what had happened — I phoned a friend and they told me to turn the water off at the master tap but I didn’t even know how to do that! Turned out that the washing machine had broken down and it was absolutely not my fault and I was so relieved — still wasn’t fun telling my parents but at least I was not to blame!

Remember ye olde days of innocence of Big Brother when the housemates actually had animals to care for and the chicken coops out in the back garden were an integral part of the show.

I can’t remember now which series they stopped having them in, I definitely remember them being in series 3 & 4 but not so much in series 5.

They should bring them back, they could even make it a task on the first night where they have to assemble a pre cut chicken coop kit for them.

Nothing like forcing people to work together on the first night for character testing!

Is always when it gets down to the final two chefs left in the competition and they have to transform their half of the dining room into an actual mock up of what their winning restaurant would look like.

I like to see people have a meltdown over restaurant dining chairs, heh.

It’s not only nice to see their design ideas, it also almost always creates a lot of drama and tension which is always great for a reality TV show — it’s that stuff that makes us tune in after all. I find it suspicious how something always seems to go wrong at the last minute though — like they can’t get permission to do this or that had been broken. Blatantly the producers set up things like that just to test the contestants to see how they cope and create a little more drama!

I wonder if they ever get their chairs and bar stools and the like from RestaurantFurniture.net — they sell all sorts of furniture for restaurants to suit all styles and tastes and design concepts.

I would love to go on Hell’s Kitchen and get to that stage just so I could do that challenge, I love designing. Shame I suck at cooking!

Rain Collection offer some really gorgeous and high quality pieces from top designers such as the devine Fringe vases from Fringe Studio. They have every thing for all of your home decoration needs. Seriously, take a look — they have gorgeous and unique items that any one would be pleased to have in their home. I love their Fringe Studio collection of vases and am tempted to buy a couple for my house!

What prompted me to write this, was watching Home Makeover Extreme Edition in the wee small hours of the morning last night, my delightful husband to be had fallen asleep on me on the sofa so I couldn’t move and had no choice but to watch whatever was on. I don’t usually watch the show, but am glad that I did because I just discovered a new time waster — it was a good hour, even if my arm was dead from having someones whole weight on it.

I always wanted to be an interior designer when I was a teen but never really went any where with it. Every time I watch a home makeover style show it reminds me of that and makes me wish that I had pursued it and wonder if I still could do now that I am pushing 30!

Someone just asked me to look on the Accor Hotels website and pick my dream vacation – I then went into a big fantasy in mt head where I chose my favourite, they waved a magic wand and made my dream come true, but actually they were just curious because they are planning a vacation.

Sigh, my dreams are dashed.

Still, it was nice to take a look at what they have to offer and dream away. I have mentioned before that I am desperate to get away somewhere exotic on vacation but money is too tight for this summer, so this is not the first time I have made a ‘dummy’ dream vacation plan

An Accor Hotels City Super Sale is currently running where you can get savings of up to 60% for stays between July and September. I would love to go to Australia, it has always been my dream and some of the prices they have really are killer. I would happily go to any city if I could, but ideally I would love to go to Sydney and do all the typical touristy stuff like climbing the Sydney harbour bridge like they seem to do in every season of The Biggest Loser Australia

Did you see the episode of The Apprentice from a few weeks ago where they had to go to a large baby show in London and sell baby toys and the like? That was a great episode, I always enjoy the ones where they are given a selection of items to look at and then have to decide which ones will suit best and pick a few to try and sell.

It’s amazing the sort of things that end up tripping people up, like the team that went with the special folding buggy but didn’t ask if any one else there would be selling it — when they got there another stall was selling it just around the corner from them at £20 less than they were, so they did all the leg work promoting the thing to customers and then they all wandered around the corner and bought it from the other seller! Oh dear.

I respected the team that went for the expensive wooden toys including the £3000 rocking horse, they were right that they only needed to sell one of them to win the challenge and it was a shame it didn’t pay off and they couldn’t shift it.

As Sir Alan pointed out, who spends that much on a toy on impulse really?
