‘Your Space’ for you and your pet

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Us humans have our social networking sites where we meet and  make new friends - well - what about one for our four legged pals and those people who love them ? It makes perfect sense; animal lovers everywhere now have their own social site where they can get together with other likeminded folk and share ideas and stories about anything to do with owning and loving a pet.

Such a place can also provide a great support network as well; our pets have their ups and downs, bouts of ill health and problems just as we people do so what better way than to have access to friends who can advise and support you and your pet through life’s little situations.

There’s also product reviews, services, videos, news and events announcements to provide you with plenty of information as to what’s happening in and around your area. Get on over and join up now !

Fancy being a Knight or Damsel ?

Don’t you just love those fashions from the Renaissance period ?

I saw Cate Blanchett in  ‘Elizabeth’ and thought the costumes were absolutely sumptuous. Okay, they may not have been all that practical - I would assume that in the summer months those ladies in those flowing gowns and boned corsets would have perspired heavily…and they never had anti-perspirants back then.

A crowded room at a banquet in mid summer must have provided a pretty ‘ripe’ atmosphere…

Nowadays renaissance clothing is enjoying a rebirth (which is what ‘renaissance’ means) and surprisingly even brides are choosing this fashion as a theme for their weddings.  A huge number of couples are going ‘medieval’ for their big day by adding a touch of romance and something olde just for a more different experience.

These are the days of the cash advance - just accept it

There have been so many words written by the media in the last few months about the so-called credit crunch  that most people are just about fed up with it all. You hear everyday about such things as ‘negative equity’ and ‘remortgaging’ that you wonder where it is all going to end. I would bet that if you had a room full of people and asked all those who had used the services of a pawnbroker in recent times for  Cash Advances just to keep the head above water I reckon a good quarter of those people would raise their hand - if they were being honest that is.

There have also been alot of words written about the payday loan process - we have all heard about them - and despite what the detractors say this has become a very popular way for people to gain a Payday Advance without suffering the embarrassment of having to sneak into the pawn shop hoping no-one they know sees them. Complete Loan Source are one of those companies which offer this service; now, remember that these loans are short term and designed to tide you over till payday. So long as you don’t fall into the trap of making a habit of it such a thing can be of great assistance.  It all comes down to discipline.
