Facebook timeline

A tip I have that I'd thought I'd pass on - with Facebook forever changing and your news feed or home page not showing you everything, sometimes you miss out on what you really want to see. 

Now when I log on, if there's anything I want to check on know what's happening on - I type in the name into the search right at the top of the page. This brings you to the profile page and then you can check it out for yourself.

This has come in handy particularly with USBC as I missed out on a competition for points so not impressed ! Now when I log on to FB I go straight to their page to check out any new info or competitions.

Just wanted to let you know that sometimes when you go into a US website they can detect where you are by your IP address which means they give you the price in euro, which is often more than the dollar price. 


The way to make sure you are getting the best value for your money is to ensure you are shopping in the correct region i.e. USA, you may need to change region which is easily done and is normally down the end of the stores homepage.


Now and again certain stores will not let EU users access their US store websites and the way around this is to type "Free Proxy server" into a search engine and then input the website address - this normally works.


I will also remind you and for the newbies - ALWAYS, ALWAYS check the size guide in each store and on each item before you order. For example in men's sizes an XL in one store may be an XXL in another. I got all the family in the sitting room and got the measuring tape out and took everyone's vital statistics which I keep beside me when I'm shopping - the way I see it is there's no point in buying a bargain only to find out it doesn't fit ! 

Rockin' Robyn

Well Daddy's headbanging music has made an impression on Robyn - watch this space ...

Ah relaxing saturday ....

Have just lit my candles and make a giant mug of coffee, the two babies are gone out with the hubby and the two older ones are out with their friends - so it's just little old me in the sitting room. Feels a bit weird, it took me about 10 mins to realise I was still sitting here watching Baby TV lol

I think I'm going to do a bit of browsing, I have found a few offers ending today:


25% off in The Childrens Place ends today


20% off at Kohls ends today


Aeropostale are offering 80% off their clearance section


Bath & Body works have a great offer on at the moment 2 for $20 on their 2 wick candles they are normally $19.50 each. They are also doing an offer on their body products buy 3 get 3 free, it's mix and match and my favourites so far are Dark Kiss and Japanese Cherry Blossom fragrances - yummy.




Anyone shopping for cosmetics should as always go to ELF and see what's on offer and for those of you who like particular brands try the department stores along with the company's own website. It's also worth remembering if you are not in a hurry for something that Mothers Day in the US is on May 13th so there may be free gift with purchase on beauty items nearer the time.


6pm are doing a sale on Nike items, clothes, shoes etc so that may be worth a look 


Right so let the browsing commence .....
