We need a maid!

When we are debt free in a few months time and we have more disposable cash I think I am going to start looking for a decent maid service in Houston Texas – like most people I hate housework, hate hate hate.

It’s never ending, it’s tiresome, it’s boring.

I especially hate washing and drying dishes, dusting (it makes my allergies go wild!) and ironing – but really, I hate it all. I don’t understand why some women seem to enjoy it and even find it therapeutic – mind you a lot of my female friends don’t understand why I enjoy and find exercise therapeutic so I guess it works both ways.

With money being so tight I have not even mentioned it to my husband yet, but as we will be better off in a few months time I think that now is the time to start dropping hints. If we could just get someone in once a week even to blitz the place and allow me at least a few days off from having to do anything it’d totally be worth it

Gun Safes

I was just looking for a site that sells West Coast Safes for guns. Being from the UK originally it is a pretty foreign concept to me that people keep guns in their homes – it seems as though every one in America has one whereas in the UK if you saw a gun in someones house you’d run out of there as fast as you could!

The husband and I have got into quite a few arguments about it over the last 3 years that we have lived here, he thinks we should have one because every one else does but I say we don’t need one – we managed to survive for 25 years in the UK (and Australia, and all of the other 5 countries we lived in at one point) without one so I am sure we’ll be fine here as well.

I was looking for a safe for my neighbours though as they do insist on having one and asked me to help find something for them.

Super Saver!

I love saving money. You know how a lot of women love spending money? Well I am the opposite, I love shopping and buying things but I feel guilty if I pay the full amount for any thing – I get the satisfied feeling if I manage to save a hefty sum on the usual price of something

I spend a lot of time on various websites looking for coupon codes and the like for ordering items online, with so many coupons around and cashback sites it’s usually cheaper to buy things online than in store – especially if you have the patience to wait a little while and hope they have a sale or promotion on the way. A lot of places offer free shipping sometimes which is always a plus for me. I even Submit Promotional Codes to voucher sites quite often as I tend to find them before other people and it’s nice to share and give back to somewhere that has saved you a lot of money
