Does any one know a good site with cell phone reviews? It’s time for me to get a new cell phone and I really want a good one, it’s an update on my contract so it’s free and I can get any that I want at any value – awesome!
Like I say though I really want to read some reviews of cell phones before jumping into any thing as it’s a long time since I got a new cell phone or really looked in to any.
I’m really excited about it

We went out for some pub grub with some friends last week and they brought their kids along. I was very glad to see some special kids customised placemats on the table when we got there because I know how good they are at keeping kids entertained. When I was young and got taken out for a meal with grown ups there certainly weren’t any customised placemats to keep us occupied so we tended to get bored really quickly and start messing around and getting in trouble. They also had special kids menus which I thought was a nice touch

I love the stupidness of Neighbours, it’s a large part of the reason I watch it.
Last week Summer was able to get someones exact home address (which just happened to be Ramsey Street) from their IP address that she somehow managed to get from a message they’d sent her on a dating website.
This week so far three people on the street have sued, counter sued and counter counter (?) sued each other – and of course good old Toadie was their lawyer, that boy must earn a fortune, he’s never out of work!
Someone mentioned the accutane lawsuit in a thread on a Neighbours board I post on (yes, I post on Neighbours message boards, Dr Karl Kennedy is a member on one of them I will have you know!) and I did a little reading about it on Accutanelawsuit.net who have loads of information on the case and offer help and advice to those affected who may be entitled to compensation. Accutane is an acne medication that has been known to cause some pretty serious side effects as it’s being given to people who really don’t need it, it’s intended for really bad cases only – and there’s another reason to be glad I am passed those spotty teenage years and no longer get acne.

At the moment you can Win a 3D TV and blu-ray player at Quicksilver, you just need to play the Mayan Treasure or Kasharoo games to be in with a chance of winning.
I am definitely going to enter as I am on a winning streak at the moment. I won a cosmos projector (random, I know!) and a sheer cover hamper in the last 2 weeks so I feel like my luck is in. Prior to these the only other thing I ever won in my life was a Wii about 2 years ago!
I’d love a 3D TV but would never buy one as I just couldn’t justify the expense.

I think fruit machine games are fun, but I am not sure I could spend 7 million dollars on them like the woman I saw on a Louis Theroux documentary the other day. The show was about gambling in general and was quite eye opening – who knew that casinos actually ‘headhunt’ people they know are likely to spend a small fortune with them and some of the tactics they employ to keep people at the table.
I still love Louis Theroux, I wish he were on TV more, I remember when his documentaries used to be a big deal but now it seems like they just slip them on random channels at random times so I don’t even always know they exist until much later.

Have you ever wondered who the richest people in the world are? There are some names that everyone seems to already know – like Bill Gates of course although I am surprised he is still number one as I thought he had long since been overtaken, but it’s interesting to see who else is on the ‘rich list’, where they made their money and what country they are from.
I was just looking at a graphic that shows all this information on Visual Economics and was not surprised to see that the majority of the richest come from the USA – of course it makes sense that the worlds richest country would have the worlds richest people in it. There is only one person from the UK on the list – I know we are a little country but I have to say I thought there would be more than that, come on UK, buck up your ideas and try harder next time
I’d love to be rich, who wouldn’t? But the riches some of these people have is just insane, what could anyone ever really do in a lifetime with $40b? You’d need 100 lifetimes!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Brompton. All opinions are 100% mine.
Whenever I see big cities on the telly I think, thank heck I don’t live there – I know that some people love the hustle and bustle of city life but it’s just not for me.
Having said that I hardly live out in the sticks, I am in a quiet village in Yorkshire but live only a stones throw away from two of the UKs biggest cities!
I was watching a show last week that was sort of recapping the 2000s and there was a news piece on from when London first introduced the congestion charge and they were talking about how many people would now take to using bikes to get around and they showed someone using a fold up bike to show how convenient they were.
Sure enough since the early 2000s the number of cyclists in London has almost doubled and Brompton who were once Undiscovered Business Entrepreneurs who make these great fold up bikes have gone from strength to strength. They are a London based company that have been making the folding cycle since the 1970s and will hopefully continue to do so and keep growing in the process.
Take a look at this video below for more information

I watched a show last night that was taking a look back at “the noughties” and it was pretty interesting – hard to believe for example that MP3 players didn’t even exist last decade. Also they spoke about Internet dating – my fiance and I met online ten years ago now and it’s true that that was not something we shouted about back then whereas these days it’s totally socially acceptable for people to meet online.
It was the first part of two I believe, so I look forward to watching the rest

Why is it that the emergency payday loans and debt consolidation industry and services have somewhat of a bad name? Online especially people associate it with spam and pushy salesmen.
I love watching shows about money and debts, Spendaholics is probably my favourite — it is super informative and helpful and really highlights how to take care of your money – plus of course it has the essential drama and emotion and trash TV aspects to it that are vital in any show I love, if it ain’t trashy I ain’t interested.
I think I am sensible with money, very much so, but the show taught me that even the most sensible of people can find themselves in trouble due to unforeseen circumstances. No one can ever really know what is around the corner and it’s good to educate yourself so you at least know what options you have available to you should the worst happen to you.
My911Loan.com are a well known and respected company and offer emergency loans to those in need. There’s no faxing required and no credit check, so it’s super fast, just fill in the form with your details directly on the site and they will get back to you.
