The Cabinet

By Home, ShoppingNo Comments

Have you ever had an image of a piece of furniture or other item in your mind before you’ve even seen it?

This was the case with a beautiful cabinet, I had never seen it. But I could describe it, frosted-glass silding doors with metal feet an inside wooden shelf sideboard. It needed to be the right height to fit under my in my living room window. And the reason for the sliding doors is so that I don’t have to move my couch up making the living room look squashed (see The Move).

I randomly typed in to google: frosted glass sideboard.

And I found it! See http://dwell.co.uk/106431. The problem? The price. Well over-priced. I have searched high and low to find this cheaper but I’m struggling.

So if you see my beautiful, cabinet some where, please let me know.

It is weird how I had the cabinet in my head clearly with out ever seeing it.

Wall of Fame & Wall of Shame

By Shopping, The WebNo Comments

Hi all,

I love to blog about good products & customer service and equally rant about bad products & poor customer service (see The value of customer service). I have often thought about having a Wall of Fame and a Wall of Shame on the site.

But while looking for a decent hair dressers in Manchester I found this site: Review Centre. It’s real people reviewing products and services.

So got something good or bad to say about a product and or service? Try Review Centre.

Write soon,

Ups and Downs

By Friends & Family, Health, Life, Love & Relationships, Paganism, Shopping, Technology, Thinking2 Comments

The weekend started really on Saturday. David and I had arranged to have a chat following the weekend prior (see Job Interview & David).

I had picked up my new BlackBerry Storm (see The phone we forgot) prior to setting out to drive to his, an Up. The Down about this was that as I had choose to keep my existing mobile number I had to wait for the PAC to transfer over, so the handset was unusable for 72 hours.

David jumped in the car to help me find parking. Once we had found it, we had to stay with the car until we were allowed to legally park there. David was initially closed. I had come open minded, but still with the one thought: that I am fed up arguing.

But what I didn’t count on was how I’d react and connect to David’s addictive energy once again. We ended up going out shopping (bought this fantastic t-shirt, I will have to post a pic!) and for a meal in the evening. The day and evening was amazing (Up), but somehow we didn’t manage to discuss the argument (a definite Down).

Sunday I head back home. I had promised my friend a reiki session (see Reiki one – Qualified) and had to prepare. I had a bath were I cleansed, protected and grounded my energies. I put some reiki healing energy in to some candles and collected my oils, the burner, the reiki-ed candles, crystals, etc. together.

The great thing about a reiki session is that you as the practitioner also get a reiki treatment too, so add that to the reiki I had done in the bath (cleansing, protecting & grounding) and I had a total of 2 reiki treatments. A definite Up.

Reiki is a stress-relief energy treatment. For more about how to destress please see my Relaxation post.

I would like to thank my friend for allowing me to give him some reiki treatment and for the nice food he bought me afterwards. Food is always a Up.

So that was my weekend, definitely more Ups than Downs!

Publish more soon,

The phone we forgot

By Shopping, Technology2 Comments

As you know I have recently been eyeing up a new phone for when my contract expires soon. I blogged about the latest phones and I decided on the iPhone.

The iPhone. Had quite a few things I wasn’t happy with (lack of bluetooth, no picture messages recieving or sending, etc.), but I thought I was going to have to pay over the odds and get used to not having these features.

However I forgot to consider the BlackBerry Storm! It has all the features I want including:

  • Touch-screen
  • QWERTY keyboard for writting text messages
  • Internet & Email
  • Good quality camera
  • So I spoke to friends, had a play with one and the verdict is: love it! Much better than the iPhone.

    So I shall have to get a move on, cancel my contract and switch providers with the fancy, sexy, wonderful BlackBerry Storm!

    Blog soon,

    Antony
