What Are You Doing This Weekend?

It seems like I've only just got home from a long weekend, and another one is starting - yippee - what happened in the middle? Maybe I did a bit of work somewhere along the line!

I'm not going to be doing much this weekend, except for chilling out with friends over the occasional glass of wine or three - teehee - so whatever you are doing, make it enjoyable - life doesn't wait until tomorrow.

Have a great weekend - and don't forget that it's yet another huge lottery jackpot rollover too!

Is This The Future Of TV?

I've just returned from a wonderful few days away seeing friends and family, and I'm only just getting back into biz mode and catching up with my emails!

And guess what, my friend Paul sent me a brilliant link to a site that allows you to watch 1000s of worldwide TV channels in tons of categories - from anywhere in the world - directly on your PC - and NO monthly charges!

It's hard to believe, but just have a look for yourself.
Click Here!

You see, while traditional satellite TV and Cable services can cost easily in excess of $90/month, this new satellite technology literally turns your home PC into an international television broadcasting unit, allowing you to view all of your favourite & once unattainable programs with one easy click of your mouse. Watching TV on your PC has never been easier!

The product has been in development for over 7 years, and has been revamped by experts from Microsoft and IBM. With hundreds of thousands of dollars of research and development put into the software, Desktop Satellite TV is indeed the fastest, easiest and most cost effective way to view international television in today's high paced environment.

I can see this being a huge seller, so you'll be pleased to hear that you can
also make money with it too via a clickbank account! Just ask me
if you'd like to know more.

Meanwhile, if you like TV, films, dvds then give it a 60 day trial -
with nothing to lose.

Thought for the Day:

Be grateful for the doors of opportunity - and the friends
who oil the hinges!

A Bit Of Birthday Fun For All

We all deserve some fun, especially at the weekend, so have a look at this. I came across the club last week, and I just love it. It's really exciting thinking about the presents I could get in July!

It's still a 'work in progress' with other goodies to be added soon, but in the meantime why not join in and see what's going on?



Have a great weekend - and don't forget that it's yet another huge lottery jackpot rollover too!

How To Save Money Online And Beat The Credit Crunch

Don't you just get fed up with hearing the phrase 'credit crunch'? I do, and it drives me potty. The only good thing about it, is that we now see lots of money saving articles in our newspapers and online.

Everyone likes to save money without sacrificing quality - and I'm no exception. So much so, that I looked around for car insurance last week, and I'm over the moon with the savings - but more importantly I also used a cash back site, so even though I got a good initial deal, I also got great cash back too!

I use ei42 , but not only for my own cash back. They give me extra cash back payments from other users too! How good is that?

Plus, you also get cash back on your eBay purchases!

At the moment they are partnered with well known UK retailers only, BUT, they will be expanding into USA very soon, and then tie up with well known outlets over there.

So, if you are in UK or USA, my advice would be to register now, and then you'll get the heads up on the US launch date soon. There is no charge and there never will be.

We all want to save money, so it's good to pass on the info and hopefully help others too.

What Would YOU Do - The Right Answer

The Right Answer

A little something to test your thought processes as the week begins.

Consider this.

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy
night. You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people
waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.

2. An old friend who once saved your life.

3. The perfect man (or) woman you have been dreaming
about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing

that there could only be one passenger in your car?

Think before you continue reading.

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually
used as part of a job application.

You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to
die, and thus you should save her first; or you could
take the old friend because he once saved your life,
and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back.

However, you may never be able to find your perfect
dream lover again.

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had
no trouble coming up with his answer. I love this.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my
old friend, and let him take the lady to the hospital.
I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the woman
of my dreams."

So today's thought is

Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box"

Have a great week and keep smiling

Learn Something New Today

I'm often asked about how to use graphics and banners to the best
effect.

Well, I'm no expert myself but I believe in self-education and 
over the years I have taken the time to update my own skills by
learning from others.

The following is a simple banner that I created from a free 
website. It doesn't say much, but I have always been a believer
in 'less says more'. It takes visitors to my affiliate site.
Sometimes we can find that the affiliate banners on offer in our
individual programmes are not quite what we want.



The simple two-tone blue button on the right of the site is also 
something that I have created myself.

These have been done through a creative tools site called Instant 
Banner Creator. They have their own eye catching banner below. If
this is something that can help you with your site, see what they
can do for you too. There is no charge for these basic services.




Well that's enough from me for the moment. If this only helps one
person then it will be worthwhile.

Have a great weekend.

Cheers

I'm A Twit - Are You?

I've always been a bit loopy, but I now have the honour of being a registered Twit too - lol

I'm good at twittering, so my new well earned title suits me. I wonder if there'll be a prize for Twit of the Day, week, month or even a grand title of Twit Of The Year? If so, by the time I've finished, I should have a good chance of being up there with the winners.

Joking aside, if you hav'n't come across twitter yet, do have a look - click here - it's a social networking site with a brilliant twist. If you are already there, why not 'follow me' - it would be good to keep in touch with other people's twitterings.

As you can see, I'm quite new to blogging, so I'm getting used to all the excellent features. I'm pretty chuffed that I've just discovered how to place a banner in the post too - you need a big piece of brown paper, some string, tape, not forgetting a stamp or two, plus a nice walk to the post office - sorry, told you I was a Twit!

The banner is a link to the Birthday Bonus Club, an interesting new idea where you join for free and then sit in line for some great cash presents on YOUR birthday. I initially saw it as a bit of birthday fun, but there is a lot more to it, so I can understand the excitement that it is generating, especially as it costs nothing to join. You'll soon see for yourself.

Well that's enough from me today, it's time to go and have another little twitter.

Have a great weekend.

I'll leave you with a thought for the day:

Attitude - How far it can go

Have you ever heard of the Daily Motivator? It's well worth a visit. Even if you don't need motivating, you'll enjoy reading the message of the day. Here is one of my favourites that I would like to share:

Attitude - How far it can go

Your attitude is extremely contagious. With each casual contact, with each phone conversation, each e-mail message, it spreads. The people infected by your attitude then pass it along to others, who pass it on to others still. And as your attitude quickly spreads each day throughout your world, it makes a difference everywhere it goes.

One smile given in the morning can multiply by afternoon into enough encouragement for thousands of lives.

There is really no telling how far it can go.

When you consistently act with sincere kindness, consideration, respect and positive enthusiasm, the benefits go far beyond just you alone. Your attitude in fact helps determine what kind of world you live in each day. It happens not through some hidden or mysterious force. It is something you can see, understand and influence each time you come into contact with others.

What kind of world would you most like to live in today?

Live with the attitude that will indeed make it so.

A Day In My Life

I can't believe I overslept! I havn't done that for years - it certainly changes all your plans. It's a good job I don't have a boss.

By the time I'd had breakfast - or was it brunch - the day was half way through. Maybe a pessimist would say half over, but it's really just begun.

Lots to do today, meeting friends for lunch. Guess who wasn't hungry, I wonder why? But the wine went down a treat, and the company was great. We had a good laugh, especially at my expense, 'cos I left my glasses at home and couldn't read a thing on the menu. Oh well, what are friends for if not to help you through?

After being fed and watered I visited mum in her residential care home. She's 87 now and very frail but still has her sense of humour and a smile on her face. It's a pleasure to go there. We are really lucky that she is having exceptional care (although it does cost an arm and a leg). It's more like a nice hotel than a care home. Mum is one of the youngest residents. You hear such horror stories about these places, but this one is very comfortable, clean with exceptional carers. And no horrible smells assailing your nostrils when you walk in. In fact, sometimes I feel like moving in too - it would be great to be so well looked after - lol - the food is great too - but no wine, so I'd better think again.

Home again in time to cook dinner, and then catch up with my emails and online biz. Well we all deserve some time off sometimes, and here I am typing away, although it certainly doesn't seem like hard work. I used to be at the front end of so called 'Customer Service' in retail banking - now THAT was hard work.

Off to catch something on the telly now, maybe I'll win the lottery tonight! - I belong to a syndicate at www.mylottery.co.uk - and then to bed. I'll make sure the alarm clock is on for tomorrow too!

I wonder what good things the day will bring?
