Health Insurance

Its been a lovely week and I have not touched any of my tools or anything DIY related for over 5 days now and finally I am getting to grips with my Health Insurance campaign.

I have spent far too many hours crawling through reviews, websites, reading the little snippets in back of  news papers that offer too good to be true offers and then back on the net to check them out that I nearly threw my laptop out the window.

Health Insurance is big business and far too often there are companies that pop up every day and offer to cover “Everything” but do not be put off by this as there are just as many legitimate companies that offer realistic cover at competitive rates.  My best advise is to take your time and shop around.

Wedding Venues

Well I know things have been a bit slow on here but I have been laid up on the sofa for the last two weeks with Woo Man Choo (Man Flu).  I have been so bored with daytime television taking the place of my usual home improvements.  All day long I have been watching programs on wedding venues, cooking and being fat.  Not that I am fat, feel like cooking or want to get married.

Every mind numbing channel went over and over everything wedding related from dresses, honeymoons, wedding venues and everything else you associate with blowing a bus load of cash.

Cooking programs came out top viewing with various how to shows and competition based show like master chief, which I do enjoy.  The only problem being watching all this foot on the box was making me feel hungry but I wouldn’t be bothered to cook, so I ended up watching programs about being overweight, this without doubt put me off of cooking.

Business Finance

I got up this morning, had a nice cup of tea and I made my way down to my secret parcel collection point.  It was a nice crisp morning, the air was cool and refreshing and I enjoyed what the birds had to sing as I tried not to rush to and from.

So I got my package and like a child at Christmas I just couldn’t wait to see my curtains.  Also in amongst my letter was a circular with details regarding business finance.  First I thought what good is business finance to me.

Once I had made it home I built the fire up and chilled for a while with a cup of tea and opened the rest of my mail.  All I had was the usual boring rubbish, like free trial from lovefilm.com and the AA begging me to join their breakdown service.

For a while I thought what I would do as a business and looks at a few other websites offering business finance, maybe one day I’ll venture out and start something.

Ecards – Lucky Postman

This time last year I had to move locations because I had sent my Christmas cards via post, the post office area marked the envelopes and the postman grassed me up to the French who then sent a dirty assassin to knock me off!  So this year, via a dozen proxy servers I decided to send ecards instead.

Ecards are easier, more reliable, and much quicker to do than traditional cards, plus you can finalise everything from the comfort of your own hide out. I looked through a dozen sites until I was happy, picked out a few ecards and got to work with personalising the messages.

After about an hour and a few cups of tea later I was happy, these ecards are great, there is music, animations, pictures, everything you need to make it that little bit special.  OK so I got a bit carried away, but I’m not going soft, it’s only a Christmas card, it’s not like I am going to rush out and buy pictures of fluffy seals  for my bedroom or start wearing pink!

I shall look forward to see if I get any ecards this year :-)   Happy Days! Unhappy Days for the postman who grassed me up, he’s now worm food.

Wedding venues –

One of my old mate emailed me the other day, he can’t phone because I don’t have a phone. Plus they would be able to trace where I am, at the moment I use a complex network of proxy’s to use the internet and that drives me mad! Anyway he blabbed on about how he and his misses were going mad looking at wedding venues.

I sat on the phone for over an hour, freezing my helmet off because I hadn’t lit the fire and didn’t have a cordless phone, otherwise I would have done it while listening to rubbish about wedding venues.

What do I know about wedding venues, errr, absolutely nothing, less than nothing, take a big bowl of nothing; add 2 pints of nothing, mixed in some ground nothing, whisk until you have had enough and your left with NOTHING!

And before you ask I never did the marriage thing, I was too busy abroad fighting for king and country.

X Factor

cole

So the X-factor finally crowns it winner, your jordy mate JOE!

Helmet off (YEAH RIGHT) to the young superstar, he did very well to beat Mr Murs.  Personally I would of prefered to see Olly win the show, although Joe does have the better voice, Olly is a better all-rounded entertainer.

Anyway Cheryl Cole looked over the moon with Joe as he sang for the last time on the show last night.

Saturday nights show did make me laugh, Everytime there was an advert Cheryl was up and gone. Dermot O’ Leary kept picking on her as she kept being late back to her seat, I suspect she may of had a skin full on Friday night and was may of been suffering from the squirts. Poor Girl!

She either had Larger Blitz or she was had gone mad! The dress she was wearing, OMG what drove her to wear that. Maybe after the X Factor she was due to attend a mermaid appreciation convention. Who Knows?
