Imagine if you had things that were actually shaped for the way you live! By shaped i mean like this bizarre bed with the mattress shaped into a sleeping position!

IVA DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN
If you have gotten yourself into a bit of debt, don't struggle with everything and just let yourself get further into debt.
You can Avoid Bankruptcy by getting yourself an IVA debt management plan, offered by a company called Clear Debt.
The great thing about the IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangements) plan is, if your application is approved you may be able to get up to 70% possibly more of your debt completely written off!
But don't be confusing yourself with thinking the plan is just another loan on top of your existing debt, because it isn't. You pay no interest with an IVA.
The way the plan works is to cut peoples debts, freeze the interest your are paying, stop any creditor action against you and more importantly give you free debt advice.
Yes, there is no charge for the debt advice which is something that is lacked in alot of other companies these days.
If your already having money troubles, you don't want to be paying out even more money just to get the advice you need.
It's definitely something worth looking into if you have got to that point now where you just cant do anymore, and the final stages of the creditor action are closing in on you.

THE NEW HAIR!
Here is my before and after pictures:
I am so pleased with the result! It's still a bit strange though getting used to it. I haven't been brown since i was pregnant with Evan about 5 years ago.I have changed my hair that many times, but i'm sticking with this one now- at least for a while!
What you think guys? Did you prefer the blonde or the new brown?
BALANCE WATER REVIEW
There are lots of different types of mineral water about, but have you ever tried one especially designed for children?
There is a mineral water me and the family tried out called Balance Water for Children.
The difference being is this special water is enhanced with 4 flower essences, that help calm, settle and focus children without removing their energy.
Plus its 100% organic, and it tastes really fresh and clean unlike your tap water.
The water is available in quite a few states in America. You can find out more information from here and about other ranges you can get too.
NOW THAT'S A SERVICE!
Then check these out! ....
This is a giant shop vending machine! It's the first of it's kind and currently sits in Washington DC, America, accepting cash and credit cards. How cool is that!?
This will take you back to the past. This potato machine was made and used in 1962 by a greengrocer in Chelsea, United Kingdom.It's a 24 hour machine too, so if you ever had that jacket potato craving at 4am it might have been useful!
hmmm i can see why this machine didn't stay around though!
I would love to see a 24 hour pharmacy vending machine with flu and all sorts of other medicines, but i just cant see that happening with the world how it is with crime these days!
SANTA REALLY CAME!
He did he did ... look ha ha! A few days before Christmas every year we have Santa come down our street and a few other ones too in his lit up sleigh!It's pulled by a car instead though. I don't think you would find many reindeer's round here!
The picture isn't that great, but gives you an idea. Evan loved it. He sat on Santa's lap and spoke to him, then he reached into Santa's sack and took a chocolate bar!
Santa had his little helpers following with charity buckets, and those are 2 police officers at bottom if you were wondering!
Evan Said to me 'Mommy Santa is here and he is real!'
A FEW XMAS DAY PICS
My camera on my phone is not the best quality, so i didn't take as many pictures of my busy period as i had hoped, but i did manage to capture the kids opening their presents on Christmas day.
This is probably the only point Lewis was interested in his presents. Once one was opened he played with that and didn't want to bother opening the rest!
Evan had a fantastic time. He would be excited over every present. He was very patient actually as we did everyone's presents one at a time.Everything was brand bought new so you can imagine the expense this Christmas!

THEMED T-SHIRTS
Bored of your plain t-shirts? Or maybe your the type of person that likes to make a bit of a statement and stand out?
If any of the above sounds like you that you check out the site Tees For All, where you can get your hands on some great
seinfield t-shirts and more.
There are plenty of themes to just from. To name a few these like sport, cartoon, superhero and movies.

BEETHOVEN'S BIG BREAK REVIEW
I have just finished watching Beethoven's Big Break with the family, and i must say that the dog we all know and love is back at his very best.
We found ourselves laughing all the way through! It is definitely a must watch if you remember and loved the other Beethoven movies.
I have provided a clip above to give you a sneak peek of the film, which is due for release on the 26th December, 2008.
It's one of those great movies where you can sit down and watch with all your family, especially over the Christmas period when there isn't anything good on the TV.
On the DVD you can also enjoy deleted scenes, gag reels, how did they do that, a feature commentary and more.
You can pre- order your copy right now. Try here as a suggestion, or check out your local stores.

CHEAP TRAVEL INSURANCE
When travelling abroad it can be very easy to get caught up in the holiday excitement, and forget about the things like organizing Travel Insurance
This is very important, and you can get all different types of cover too. It can be anything from backpackers and cruise insurance to winter sports cover.
The trouble is if you start searching the Internet you will come across hundreds of companies that claim to give you the insurance your looking for and even say they are the cheapest, but usually with not so many perks.
Just because your looking for a cheap deal why compromise on your cover?
There is a company called CheapTravelInsurance.com that can provide you with a cheap insurance and with good cover too.
It doesn't just stop there either. If you purchase your cover online you can get a further 10% discount.
Everyone loves to save money. Especially when your buying something that is such a necessity.
If you don't have the insurance and something happened, you are going to be really stuck.
So don't put yourself in that position, and instead of shopping around and trailing the Internet for hours on end, why not try out a company that has been selling travel insurance since 2000?

FAMILY MOVIE TIME
One of my favourite times is when we can all sit down as a family, and watch a movie.
We have our own microwave butter popcorn, or sometimes nachos with a dip. Popcorn is my favourite though because i can feel like i'm really at the cinema then!
The type of movies we like to watch are the animated cartoon film ones or a comedy. Evan usually falls to sleep halfway through though for some reason! Then he ends up watching the other half the next day!
I think it is important to watch movies together as a family, rather then sticking the kids in front of the TV to watch cartoons.
I have always saw it as a learning point for my kids too. Their questions can get answered that they are curious about, and we can have fun laughing and guessing together too.
Taking of family movies there is a great film out at the moment called All Roads Lead Home The Movie, that would be perfect for a night in with the kids. You can see the trailer of the film on the clip above.
How about you? How do you watch your family movies? And what are your favourite type to watch?
OUR CHRISTMAS TREE
I have saw that alot of people have been showing their Christmas trees off, so i thought i would show mine too!
We managed to squeeze ours on our table in the corner this year, which we love because usually its stuck in the dining room hidden away!
We have got to get some lights though because when Evan was helping decorate he broke one of the bulbs in the lights, which unfortunately broke the whole thing!

FEELING OF THE FAIR
We bought Evan a grabber machine! Yes like the real ones that grab the teddies, but this one grabs sweets instead!
It plays the fairground music and even has plastic coins for you to put in like you would do if playing for real.You can put whatever sweets you want to in there.
He is really enjoying it and keeps him quiet so that's good for me!
I need to watch him though because when he wins because he would just keep eating all the sweets!
CRASHING OUT!

FRENCH SKIING HOLIDAY'S
You may feel like you need a holiday before the year ends out, but are maybe thinking well where can i go this time of year?
I know you can find a few places with the hot sun, but holidays don't always have to be about sun bathing do they?
You could try Ski Holidays France for example. That would be a great place to take the family, and your guaranteed to have fun learning how to ski on the slopes.
You may be a beginner perhaps or never tried skiing before at all, but that doesn't matter at all. There are always programmes on the site to teach you the ropes.
If your an established skier you can find some great sites and circuits for you to get stuck into too.
I have always liked the idea of being able to ski actually. I think it would be great once you get into it and try out all the different circuits.
You are always able to hire your ski wear at the resort also, so there is no need going out buying things you need, and probably come back with the wrong things, or worse not enough!
This way you know you have got everything you need, and you don't have to take it around with you and your luggage!
MONSTEROLOGY BOOK REVIEW

Kids love monsters, even if they are scared of them they like to read about them!Here is a good book about monsters. But it's more than just a normal book, its a fascinating journey into the unknown and legendary beasts.
Inside the book i found textured samples like skin, fur, feathers and stones, as well as foldout, pop up and flap features throughout.
Monsterology by Dr. Ernest would make a great gift for kids aged 8 onwards.

STRANGE EBAY AUCTION
The lady had kept it for 10 years after just taking one bite out of it, before selling it for $28,000 on eBay.
Strangely it had never moulded over the years! She had kept it because she considered it a a blessing. Obviously not that much cause she sold it in the end!

COZY BEDTIME SOLUTION

You know how it is, you get in bed and cover your head and curl up in a ball- wonderful!
When i lived at my mom's i used to have 3 Spundown Duvet's on my bed! ... yes 3!
I think i liked the idea of the heaviness of the duvet that weighed on top of my body, it made me feel all cosy!
Your bed sheets and duvets are a very important part of your sleeping time actually. It's what makes you comfortable that counts.
We have silk sheets at the moment for the soft and smooth feel factor, but they are very cold in the cooler times. Maybe i should have a look at the Pure Living Collection to get my hands on some Lysoft Cotton jacquard duvets?
It is said the duvet's keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Well that would work for me!
I suffer from alot of allergies too, so the right bedding is very important to me. But i don't see why i should substitute luxury for basic bedding because of this.
Sleep is very important to us, so we should make sure are environment is just that too.
After all we are sleeping for at least 8 hours a day on average.

SHIPS BOOK REVIEW
I have had pop up books in the past for my 4 year old Evan, which have been really basic and of poor quality to be honest.
Until he had this one called Ships by Robert Crowther
I must say i was amazed by not only the vast amount of pop up items, but you had the sliders, and little books that open out into maps.
The readership of the book is probably aimed more towards 6 years plus for them to be able read for themselves, but Evan enjoyed me reading to him and seeing everything in action.
It's a great book for learning the kids, and showing them what it's all about. I even learnt something myself too!
HAVING MY TONSILS OUT EXPERIENCE
The surgery went well. I had a nose bleed when i woke up and my throat was and is still very sore.
I couldn't eat anything yesterday i felt sick with every bite, but today i have ate some normal food.
So i'm not in the best of states at the moment guys, so please forgive me if i don't stop by for a while, but i will be the end of the week :)
UPDATE (For Further days after the surgery)
As soon as you have the operation you probably find you might be sick (due to the tube being down your throat)
I didn't want to touch any food on that day. I didn't have no appetite and i simply couldn't :(
The next few days i could eat food in bits and chewing till it was mush, as it was hard for me to swallow. I wouldn't recommended drinking fizzy or spicy foods!
I found drinking alot of water helped. I was told to eat soup and icecream but only had an appetite for foods that i really fancied. Mine was Microwave meals lol !!
I could do normal things straight away, but i found i was too sore to talk for about 3 days so wrote everything down with pen and paper, so may be worth if you have small kids to get some help for first few days.
I was back up and running in a week.
Hope that helps whoever stumbled upon this post. Good Luck :)
