Dragons Den

I've just been watching Dragons Den and trying to learn from their mistakes. Also been watching on Twitter to the response of the bloggers and tweets all over Ireland.

This whole recession thingy has been hanging over us all for the past few months. So something has to be done. I was thinking to invent something or somehow come up with a winning strategy and make my millions.

Watching dragons den has put me right off this! Nothing is as easy as pie there is always someone who points out the pointlessness of your invention, the lack of market or worse that you are an idiot.

Well done to everyone who went on the show...maybe next year!

Gorgeous or bust.....

Dear all,

Sorry for the lack of posts. Been out living life! I was in Madrid and then in Dublin and finally in Glasgow...
The terrible snow has meant that twice last week I got snowed in at work ...not a happy time!
I did pick up some money saving tips though...for example...why buy diamonds for yourself. I got engaged and so have successfully gotten one man to purchase a twinkly sparkler for me! Success! This shoudl not be the only reason to get engaged but it is a lovely bi-product!

Secondly I've found that lugging wedding magazines around will serve as a great workout session!

If gettign married is not an option why not do as I do and get down to the Dublin City Council Countess Markieveicz centre and avail of the Gym for only 6 yoyos a turn..no yearly joining fee or anything. Plus theres a pool and sauna it's great value in Dublin City Centre..

Blingalicious Bargains

Sorry folks been away for the last couple of weeks. Been in Madrid..thanks to free flights and only paying for taxes!
Been also in Kerry and my favourite exotic and fabulous Limerick.
The diet and the money saving has gone on despite the exotic locations I was travelling to.
I discovered with the help of my boyfriend the markeivicz centre just down the street. Why pay expensive GYM fees when you can swim and gym for just 6 yoyos a turn. No sign up fee no monthly fee..just pay as you go.

It's not fancy but clean and has all the machines, weights and everything you would find in any gym at all.

Then we went off to Madrid checked in for both flights before we left. Printed the boarding passes. We also weighed our hand luggage to ensure there were no nasty shocks at the airport. There was a strict no purchasing/ shopping rule on the visit too. That saved 30 quid a head on the check in and bag charges!

Of course himself went off the chart by proposing with a lovely diamond ring! He did it so romantically and nicely though that I couldnt object at all. I had to carry it back so some shopping was done after all...
