I’ve found a new site called EntreCard which lets others visit my blog and “drop” so they earn credits… this basically shows they’ve visited. With credits you can buy a space on mine or others blogs.
Anyway, it’s a really neat system…

Sorry guys!
I’m sorry I haven’t posted for a while, I was so busy with my birthday and that =(
Basically, it was my birthday on Wednesday and celebrations, and leaving parties got in the way!
Today was also my first “trial day” at my new job (= It was great fun, if not hard work. It’s shocking how badly some people look after their hair! Anyway… I’mma try stick it out. I need a stable job and this is something I want to do! It’s really like a dream come true to me!
Hopefully I can move out of my parents place by the summer… But who knows if I can afford a holiday…. I may not even get this job =(
My parents gave me a great sum of money for a flat deposit, so that’s in the bank, and I’m just over the moon that things are on the right track!
I’ve also been offered my first post with blogsvertise! *happy dance*

Buying a Flat/Apartment
Since I’ve been flat-hunting recently, I thought I’d give you a mini-guide on how to pick an ideal flat or apartment.
Before you set out, make sure you have a list of things you do and don’t want. Decide what things the flat MUST have, what it CAN’T have, what it SHOULD have, and what it SHOULDN’T have. For example, you might say that having a garden is a must, but a nice view out the window is only a nice benefit.
- Don’t view flats by yourself, you might be pressured into buying something you don’t want or signing something
- Take notes, so you can compare after you’ve seen all the prospective flats. If you’re allowed, take photos.
- Check that windows shut & lock properly, that hot and cold water runs properly
- If the flat is furnished, make sure you ask how much of it is included in the price- you might find out too late that there is no bed for you too sleep in!
- Look for bad finishes, open cables etc.
- Take in details like the surroundings. It might be obvious, but if you live next to a railway, you might have trouble sleeping.
- Remember, there are certain things that CAN be fixed. The room’s bright pink? You can certainly fix that.
- Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Don’t be rude, but don’t put off asking vital questions. Are the windows double glazed? etc.

Contest Blogger
Today I came across a site called contest blogger. It is a free forum where members can promote contests on their blogs or sites- and there were some great prizes! I’ll be entering atleast a few, that’s for sure.
Contests are also a great way to get people to subscribe to your blog, and interest visitors- I’ll be holding a giveaway/contest as soon as I have the cash.
Anyway, be sure to check Contest Blogger out, because you could win $$$$ or prizes! Plus, you can promote your own contests there and get traffic to your site!

Please click every day! Each time you click the button on the websites, an animal is fed, a free mammogram is given, or a child is given some teaching equipment…!
That’s only a minute of your time… it could make a world of difference to somebody’s life!
I’ve been looking for flats
I’ve been looking for flats online (=
My parents said they’ll be giving me money to get a deposit on a decent place! 
I’m over the moon! (: So, I’ve been doing a bit of research online and seeing what sort of place I can afford…
*yawn* I’m really tired, and I’ve been busy… finishing off stuff for university, gathering my stuff together, planning to move, planning for my job training, checking out other opportunities, looking at houses.
Blehhh… I’ve got a headache coming on!

Ximmy
I’ve found a great new site called Ximmy!
What does it do? Well, you can review sites for 10 points each, or add links for 1 point each. At 1000 points, you can be paid $10. If you reach payout before June, you’ll be paid an extra $20, via paypal!
You can easily review 10-20 sites a day- it’ll only take you half an hour to earn 100 points (=
So… if you review 20 sites a day, and submit links… 210 points
If you do that for 10 days, you’ll earn 2100 points…
So, you’ll earn $21! But that’s not all! With the $20 bonus, you’d earn $41 in 10 days for hardly any work!
How do you join?
Just click the banner below (=

Whoo!
Exams, exams…
Don’t you just hate ‘em? So, why is the title of this post so cheerful when I’m talking about exams?
A hairdressing salon has replied to me! (= I’ll be doing a trial week in two weeks time, and then after that I will hopefully get to work there full time…
In other good news, it’s my birthday in… 7 days! Hmm… I wonder how I’ll celebrate it?

My Mini City
I discovered this site a while ago…
You create a name for your city, and for every visitor it gets, it is another person living in the city.
You start off as an allotment of land and you can grow into a massive city!
When you get more visitors, you can “promote” the economy.
You can’t edit your city, it just grows with visitors- its a cute little “project” to see grow.
It’s a fun little link that can be put in site signatures etc.
The link below is my mini city, check it out as an example

It feels like summer!
The weather really has been sunny today! (=
The forecasts predicted light rain throughout the day, but English weather for once is making me happy! I was helping out at a charity fun run, and so I experienced the lovely sun throughout.
In fact, as soon as I came out of the shade to watch the runners finish, I realized how hot it really was- it was sweltering!
But it’s better than no sun at all, isn’t it?
