Replaced our Computer monitor with an LCD!

by

You know what? We bought a new monitor for the desktop computer in early January during all the new years sales and I’m certain that I never even mentioned it on any of my blogs. Duh!

You’d think I would have told you about the new HDTV and VGA lcd monitor by now huh? Actually I haven’t even tried it as a television yet either. It works great as a monitor for the computer. I guess I’d better try it out and see it makes a decent HDTV too eh?

Eventually we’re going to get a second laptop and we might give up on having a desktop computer all together. That’s why it was important that we get an LCD monitor that could also be used as a television. It will fit perfectly in one of our guest bedrooms. There’s a small TV set up there on a TV stand already, but that TV is very old and has a fuzzy picture so the LCD monitor would make a perfect replacement if we ever decide to stop using it as a computer monitor.

Did any of you take advantage of all the boxing day or New Years sales that were happening? Get any good deals?





Life insurance offers from the bank?

by

Twice in the last month our bank has sent us a letter offering us a deal on life insurance. It’s life insurance that’s tied in with our mortgage.

I don’t know why, but it seems strange to get a life insurance quote from your bank. Especially one that will end up raising our mortgage payments!

What do you think? Does this just seem like a bank gimmick? Yes, I’m sure all the banks are doing it. Have you purchased extra life insurance through your bank as part of your mortgage package?

It just seems wrong to me to buy insurance from my bank. Perhaps I’m just being traditional in thinking that we should get our insurance from companies that specialize in life insurance.

Rustic and Southwestern furniture

by

Spring is coming soon. Many people choose to look for a new home around that time, and others start renovation projects or decide to redecorate their homes.

If you are a fan of the Rustic look you should visit the Tres Amigos website and have a look around. They specialize in beautiful hand made Rustic Furniture. They also carry a lovely line of Spanish Colonial and Southwestern Furniture. I’m sure that you’ll find all of the furniture to be unique. Some pieces are actually one of a kind.

Tres Amigos are always bringing in new inventory so this is a site that should be visited frequently if you are searching for just the right piece for your home or perhaps even for your business. Since they buy inventory in large quantities they are able to offer their furniture at wholesale prices.

Along with Wholesale Furniture, you’ll find items such as rustic hardware, rustic hinges, switch plates, accessories for the home like tin and tile mirrors, wrought iron, candles, pottery, Corona bar accessories and even handmade jewelry.

Did I mention that almost every piece of furniture at Tres Amigos is 100% solid wood? You don’t find quality furniture such as this in department stores! Visit the site and take a look at their furniture lines and home accessories. I’m sure you’ll be pleased with the selection.

Save energy with a boiler from Northern Gas Heating

by

Here’s something for my readers from the UK.

If you’ve been looking for a company to do your Central heating installation for you, look no further. I’ve found a company that’s made it it’s mission to provide it’s clients with the best prices and better service than any of the other central heating companies.

The company is Northerngasheating and they offer a full range of services and products from maintaining your Boiler service to installing Gas central heating. They’ll work with you to ensure that your new installation or service is well within your budget.

Now, I have oil heating myself so I haven’t spent much time looking at the type of services offered by gas related central heating companies so I don’t know what kind of warranties most companies offer when they install central heating. However, I can tell you that NorthernGasHeating offers a free five year warranty. Sounds good to me!

One thing that I like about the NorthernGasHeating website is that they have information about Energy Efficiency. There are some tips on how to save energy in your home as well as information about high efficiency boilers which of course will help you save a lot of money on your energy bills.

So if you are thinking of replacing your old boiler or as we call them here, furnace, check out the NorthernGasHeating website. While you’re on the site you can call them for a free quote or book a free appointment.

Tired of hearing about celebrity problems

by

I haven’t been writing in my celebrity blog very much lately. Why? Well for a while there it seemed that just about every star was battling some kind of drug or alcohol addiction or was checking into drug rehab. I simply got sick of writing about it!

Now that a whole crop of new stars are pregnant and or have just given birth perhaps it’s a sign that things are changing on the celeb scene a bit? Maybe I’ll start writing in my blog Celebrity Scoop a little bit more. Actually I hope to start writing about more of the fashion trend and hot items that the stars are buying. Purses, shoes, the latest clothing and try to find comparable products that we, the common people, can afford. Wish me luck?
