Cool gadgets

yhst-38176160243944_1973_34706018I am terrible when it comes to buying gifts for my dad, come his birthday, or Christmas, or Father’s day I am always left scratching my head and panicking. For as many years as I can remember now he’s ended up with some ‘fancy’ beer and a chocolate bar — how very unimaginative of me hey?

I should really get him more Electronic Gadgets because I know in general he likes those, he’s a techy kinda guy but always thinks gadgets are overprices so doesn’t buy them himself.

I think that next time a gift giving opportunity comes around I am going to get him one of those remote control helicopters, I think he’d like that :)

 

A good nights sleep!

valencia2006_1__4So, my fiance went out and got us a new bed? Nice huh?

Well, no actually — I am always the one that decides on our decor and furniture…it’s a dangerous game him doing it.

His boss was selling it off cheap because they have another baby on the way so need to clear out the spare room and turn it into a nursery. Husband to be thought that it was such a good deal for a big expensive bed that it was worth the risk that I wouldn’t like it.

I suppose he’s right really, though he should know I generally don’t like divan beds. But I guess money is the most important thing when you are struggling in this economy as we are — not what it looks like. Plus it is super comfortable and easy to sleep on as it was a really expensive and high quality purchase originally.

Though if I did have my way I would have wanted a nice brown or black leather one — I just think they look so sexy and modern, whereas divans look old fashioned to me. Time4Sleep.co.uk have loads of leather beds that tickle my fancy and at really great prices too.

Oh well, nothing I can do about it now.

 

The Biggest Losers

thebiggestloserWhy do people take weight loss pill? Don’t they watch The Biggest Loser? You can do it without pills and potions and magical cures — mind you The Biggest Loser does a great job of getting across just how much effort and dedication is required to actually not only lose a lot of weight but also keep it off, and since overweight people are generally lazy I guess I just answered my own question there didn’t I?

 

Steer your way

7327bmv-102If you need new parts for your car, like a bmw steering rack for example, then check out carsteering.com — they sell steering racks and steering boxes for most models and makes of car and are a well known and reliable online retailer. I think that it is very important to make sure your car is in perfect condition at all times, it sometimes amazes me how bad people will let them get before taking them to the garage or buying new parts that they need — I know money is tight for people these days but safety should always come first!
