I have been wanting to update the flooring in my kitchen and conservatory for a while now as it currently has some awful chequered lino, so have decided to make the change and tile the whole area. Because the kitchen leads into the conservatory I have decided to tile them both with the same tiles which will be made from travertine.

Travertine is a natural stone and has pitting on the surface giving it a rustic feel which I am going for and will perfectly complement the  granite worktops in the kitchen. I have decided to go for French Patterned tiles that has a mosaic look to them, this will be a little bit more expensive and harder to fit but I think it will be worth the effort.

Travertine is extremely hard wearing so even though it costs more than standard tiles it will last a lot longer (I hope!). I have a week and a half off at the end of April when I hope to get the tilling done, so we will have to wait and see what it turns out like.

Good news, I’m full sold out of my t shirts on eBay so time to get another order in with my t shirt printing company.

I’ve made around £50 ish from my t shirt sales on eBay, I think I’ll get a few more printed this time to try and double my profits.

I’ve been looking round and got a few new designs one or two for the world cup and a few comedy ones.

The t shirt printing company that i use are really good and they use good quality t shirts not cheapo stuff. Hopefully I’ll have my t shirts in around 5 days, which isn’t bad considered that I only emailed them over lunch.

This week’s been slightly busy at work and at home as we’ve been having new carpets fitted so everything’s being moved around different rooms.

I’ve never really thought all this massage stuff really worked until my wife got given a Chinese massage handbook for her birthday and I became the unwitting subject. I suffer from back pain quite frequently as in my job I sit down for the duration of the day and don’t have great posture, so after my wife had read through her book I decided she could start there.

Now the principles of Chinese massage is to bring the body back into balance through the eight principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine which includes, kneading, rubbing and applying pressure to the areas in-between the joints (these are known as the eight gates).

Although it was painful at first, (I was in pain anyway) the massage techniques in the book soon had me relaxed and the pain was definitely subsiding. After the massage I felt like I had more energy and because the pain had all but gone I felt like I could have a nice, relaxing night.

This has become a weekly occurrence in my house and I have even begun to read this book so that I can give massages to my wife as well. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Also known as gars or rillos, blunts are mixtures of tobacco and various other plants that are loosely wrapped in some type of cigar wrapper, usually a tobacco leaf. One of the benefits of this approach to legal highs is that you really need nothing more than the filler, the wrapper, and something to light the end of the blunt with whenever you’re ready to enjoy the fruit of your efforts.

There are some things to keep in mind if you plan on rolling your own blunt. One has to do with the preparation of the herbs. Many recommend that you coarsely grind the herbs, rather than using a fine grind. This helps you to still get the full effect of the herbs, but minimises the chances of sucking some tiny particles into your mouth, where they can be somewhat irritating.

Another part of blunt preparation has to do with how tightly you pack the contents within the wrapper. In general, you never want the blunt to be as tightly packed as your average commercial cigar. However, you do want it packed enough so the herbal cigar will not bend, droop, and fall apart while you are smoking it. Shoot for a consistency that is somewhat like that of a cigarette, and you should be fine.

Many people prefer the blunt to other methods, because there is no need to spend money on a bunch of paraphernalia. As long as you have some way to grind the herbs, adequate wrapping, and a reliable lighter, you’re good to go. There is no need to set up equipment in advance, or spend a lot of time cleaning items afterward. The sheer simplicity of the blunt, coupled with the quality of the highs themselves, make this a great alternative for many people.

I seem to now be somewhat of a wine connoisseur or borderline alcoholic as some professionals like to make me feel so I decided to invest for the sake of my love of wine in a Liebherr Wine Cooler, a fantastic highly useful cabinet to correctly store my wine in. It’s crucial and detrimental to the taste of wine that it is stored correctly and at the right temperature, you don’t want to be serving warm white wine and chilled red wine when hosting a party as your guests won’t be pleased with your lack of care.

The Liebherr Wine Cooler I choose fits my specific needs it can store a maximum of 68 bottles, has ideal climate conditions thanks to forced air cooling and fresh air supply via activated charcoal filter, mechanical control and analogue temperature display which can be read from the outside. The cooler cabinet is also H 890 x W 600 x D 605mm so it ideally sits under my work tops in a space I had in my kitchen and the doors of the cooler have UV protection to stop harmful rays of light getting in and damaging the quality of your wine plus it also means I can see when I am running out.

As I was watching TV last night I noticed that William Hill are offering a free bet to the value of £30, now that’s ideal for me, because I haven’t got an online account with them and the grand national is coming up and some places all ready have some early prices for the horses.
Last year Mon Mome who started out at an incredible and unbelievable price of 100/1, so putting £10 on to win would have seen me win £1000.

I’m the sort of person who will use my free bets on a combination of bets I’ll usually look for a good Jockey like Ruby Walsh, then I’ll bet on a horse under 15/1 and finally on a higher odd horse, oh I might put a few £1 bets on a 1/100 horse you never know.

The weekend was pretty standard, it was just a relaxing weekend spent at home with a sport of shopping.
My t shirts are selling quite well on eBay as well, they are going at a very steady rate of 1 a day which isn’t great but it isn’t bad either.

When visualising the world of free bingo, perhaps images of wealth, celebrity and glamour would not be the first to pop into your head. Indeed, mention of the game tends to conjure up an image of a phoenix nights-esque club, full of blue-rinsed ladies of a certain age, frantically daubing while a cheesy fella at the front enthusiastically shouts about “two little ducks” and “key of the door”.

Well, it turns out that this image may need updating. Over the years, bingo has begun to attract a younger, trendier clientele, who have fallen for the charms of this incredibly popular pastime. This may be due in no small part to its numerous celebrity fans extolling its virtues.

Hollywood star Catherine Zeta Jones is said to be a staunch supporter (perhaps due to her Welsh roots..?), while Sharon Osbourne has always been a huge fan, going as far as appearing in the ad campaign for Gala Bingo, promoting their online bingo site with evident relish. It has been reported that model Kate Moss and presenter Denise Van Outen also enjoy the “eyes down” experience, and Most Haunted presenter Yvette Fielding loves the game so much she recently held her hen night at a bingo hall.

Now, you may have noticed that these celebrity fans are all women, but don’t be fooled into thinking that bingo is solely for the fairer sex. In an interview with People, British World Champion boxer Carl Froch admitted to preferring a good game of bingo to a night out, while singer Robbie Williams recently entered a swanky Hollywood bingo fundraiser. It appears that the pastime’s charms may even extend to royalty, as Prince William was recently spotted relaxing after a stint at Sandhurst by – you guessed it – playing bingo.
So, the next time you’re invited out for a game, just imagine who you could bump into at your local bingo hall!
