The pefect holiday cottage
30 January 2008
Having stayed here I can recommend these holidays cottages. We stayed last Easter from Monday to Friday, but actually a whole week would have been better. We were blessed with good weather, but that wasn’t what made this break. We stayed in the smaller cottage, Bwythn Pennant, which sleeps 4 in 2 bedrooms. The larger cottage, Melin Hir, sleeps 8. You can book them through Hoseasons in our shop.
The setting is truly breathtaking; the Cwm Pennat Valley in the Snowdonian National Park. The cottages share a garden, which was plenty big enough for a game of football and for the dog to have a run around. There was also a swing and climbing frame. If you have the need to do some washing you’ll find a shared laundry, which is free to use.
I can only speak for Bwthyn Pennant, but it was tastefully and comfortably furnished with the full Sky package available, which was great for us as we didn’t have to miss a football game! You could bake a cake in the kitchen it’s so well stocked with equipment, but having said that we were welcomed with a most delicious chocolate cake and some biscuits for the dog! A welcome pack was also provided with the basics like tea, coffee, butter and bread. Read more

Pick a Card…
23 January 2008
With Valentine’s day, Mother’s Day and Easter all so close together this year most of us have the need to buy a card or two. We have some ‘Big’ birthdays in this house too; namely a 40th and a 50th, but I’m not saying which of our relatives is celebrating! With this in mind I have been looking for cards and found that Yodoo.com have so many to choose from. Having used them before I know that the cards are excellent quality and compared to high street stores they are inexpensive. A bog standard card can be bought for 25p nowadays and I confess using these for children’s friend’s birthdays, but for grown ups and special occasions it’s nice to receive something that has obviously had some thought put into it.
What I think is good with Yoodo.com is that you can add your own touches to the outside of the card as well as entering your own verse. In fact there’s space for a message on the right and left hand-side of the inside of the card, so you can really go to town. If verse isn’t your forte, don’t worry, you can add as simple happy birthday or congratulations because the card itself can say it all.
Once you’ve chosen your card and added your personal touches, Yoodoo.com will post the card back to or post straight to the recipient, which is great if you’re running short on time. Buy, design and send the card from the comfort of your home in minutes!

Car Insurance ; this is a first
22 January 2008
I knew that the insurance for my car was due for renewal, so I’d already searched and as I’d expected found that the cost had gone up. This is thanks to the bump I had last year, which is going to cost me for a few years. I won’t even mention the Drive Assist complaint, which left me (temporarily) £155 down. You can see more here if you really want to know!
I always shop around for our insurance using one of the on line sercehes which search a number of insurers for you and saves having to input all your details over and over. By doing this I usually make a substantial saving, but not so this year. I had my renewal through and it’s way below the cheapest quote I had received. However, this is the first time in many years that this has happened and I won’t be lured in to the trap of renewing before I’ve compared. It hasn’t necessarily made things nay easier, because changing insurers is so simple, but it’s good to now that on this occasion customer loyalty has meant something.
