Buyer beware

It is always tempting to save some money, sometimes alot of money, by buying second-hand rather than brand new. This applies to many different items, not just cars and clothes…

Unfortunately when a particular item is in great demand some unscrupulous people will go so far as creating counterfeit duplicates in order to capitalise on the market. This practice has spread especially into the computer supplies industry where the problem of fake used cisco is growing.

The industry is instigated in China and is being sold on places like Ebay - don’t fall for it even if you need to spend as little as possible. Fake products like this are proved to cause your equipment damage and will set you up for needing to outlay even more money in costly repairs later on.

Gadget-tastic stuff

Posted under Blogging, Consumer News by Wendy on February 21st, 2008 5:21 am

I’m a little hyper today I guess, I’m posting all over the place full of inspiration…

Anyway I  just came across Gadgettastic which is a site that sells, well, gadgets! But these are really cool. Take a look at this one…

I thought at first glance that it was a new kind of MP3 thing but it’s not…it’s a zit zapper! I’m sure we all know a guy/girl who could do with one of these ! actually 3 years ago my son could have done with one in each hand…he’ll kill me for saying that.

And if that isn’t interesting enough here’s a lego-man courtesy of the same place…

Just imagine girls, if you don’t like the way your guy looks you can just take him apart and put him back together the way you want him - just don’t lose any of those vital pieces….!

Improve your home with family home experts

Posted under Consumer News, Family Life by Wendy on January 17th, 2008 11:14 am

There comes a time when your home needs improvements; renovations that will benefit the value of your home and give your family more quality of life. I always tend to place my trust in ‘family run’ companies that are both well established and have great reputations. Companies that are well familiar with what families want and are prepared to go that extra mile to give it to them.

Our homes can always do with some extra living space and what better way to achieve this than by adding an extension in the way of a pergola? Travis and Sue Jenkins head a firm that started right at the bottom of the ladder and, through sheer hard graft and providing great work and customer service, are now at the forefront in the home-improvement industry and offer people their well earned expertise in the field of home improvements.  They offer their Houston pergolas as an effective way of extending and connecting the family living space to the garden. Using their custom designed policy they can create extra space for your home and also offer you the extra space you need to enjoy the fruits of your labour in the garden. All-Tex can work with you to create the home interior/exterior that you have always wanted.
