Going To England

I've been planning to go to England recently, and I don't think my current mobile phone service will be particularly good value. I'm going to be overseas for a few months, so I've been looking at mobiles.co.uk and they seem to have some really great deals advertised there. Going over their mobile phone reviews last night, I came across the Samsung Soul and it's really appealing to me. Most mobile phones I could not give a fig about, but the Samsung Soul has this attractive slide design.

Actually, speaking of design, the mobiles.co.uk one is quite nice and really useful. They don't just have mobile phones, they also have offers of free gifts for signing up for particular mobile phones and plans. Their mobile phone reviews have led me to quite a few mobile phones that I didn't think I would be interested in before, which is why I'm still not entirely sure about whether I want to get a Samsung Soul or not.

Oh well, I'd better keep looking at mobiles.co.uk, as I don't have too much time until my trip!

Mountain Trekking

I have started exercise training for a snowy treck up Mount Pilatus in the Swiss Alps. I have bought myself many items of exercise equipment including an exercise gym and and exercise DVD specifically designed for mountain climbers. I plan to go on this adventue in about a year so by then I should be very prepared physically. I am going to undertake extensive yoga and swimming training too to increase my lung capacity and focus. I do need new exercise mats though as my current one is a little moth eaten after so many years stuck in the cupboard. I shall take advantage of the mid year sales and stock up on everything I need.

I already have a whole library of exercise books to keep me going for the year and I have replaced my desk chair with an exercise ball. There is so much to consider when going on such an adventure and I will need to read further into everything else I will need. My exercise gyms going to get such a work out that I hope it doesn't fall apart on me! If it exhibits any signs of dangerous wear and tear, I shall have it looked at by a professional and fixed quick smart! I hope I don't pull a muscle or become ill while training as this could set back my progress significantly!

My expanding muscles may alter my clothing size so I should wait much closer to the departure date before purchasing extra thermal supplies. It will be summer here when I leave as I hope to treck in the northern hemisphere winter snow, so thermal clothing should be much cheaper then. I shall have a giant farewell party with all my favourite foods as I will be away for a couple of months so that will be a great night. No alcohol shall be consumed though as it could setback my training further and I would have to break out the fitness DVDs all over again!

With hundreds of cards to choose from, it will be a harrowing experience finding the most beneficial card for me.

M-I-C, K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E!

Since I was a child i've always wanted to go to Disneyland and it looks like my dreams may finally come true! I just discovered some home lotteries with an all expenses paid trip to Disneyland as the first prize!! It's not a well know lottery so there shouldn't be too many entrants, resulting in much smaller odds!

I've also been attempting to win cash to fund this travel experience through many Keno draws. I managed to pick up a handy $50 but spent it all the next day on Disney merchandise. I've also won several tens of dollars with instant scratchies which have been vital to pay for my Disney posters and candy.

Tuesday is Australia's biggest lotto draw with $40 million up for grabs! I've already bought 20 tickets for this lottery superdraw and plan to buy another fifty. I'm sure to win at least $1 million with 70 tickets up my sleeve, the odds are against me not winning really!

Travel Jobs

The high ranking Australian jobs and career website, Jobs.com.au, has partnered with JOBX in a move to improve the customer experience with greater search functionality and a wider variety of advertised positions. The Jobs.com.au business was acquired in June 2007 by a Brisbane-based web publishing firm. Since the original relaunch of Jobs.com.au in 2007, the website has continued its rise in popularity to its current standing as one of the highest ranking job sites in Australia.

Brisbane, QLD (PRWEB) April 19, 2008 -- The high ranking Australian jobs and career website, Jobs.com.au, has partnered with JOBX in a move to improve the customer experience with greater search functionality and a wider variety of advertised positions. The Jobs.com.au business was acquired in June 2007 by a Brisbane-based web publishing firm. Since the original relaunch of Jobs.com.au in 2007, the website has continued its rise in popularity to its current standing as one of the highest ranking job sites in Australia.

Jobs.com.au CEO, Peter Andronicos, understood the need for a more comprehensive user experience if the website was to grow, the dynamic career website JOBX was approached to further develop the functionality of Jobs.com.au. This partnership has benefited JOBX by providing them with much more high quality traffic than they would normally have expected and has shown exceptional results in a very limited amount of time. A marked increase in the exploration of the pages on Jobs.com.au has also been felt, demonstrating that users have embraced the changes with gusto.

With the unemployment rate at astonishing lows of 4.0% in March 2008, job search sites offer more potential than ever before in helping people into the careers they want. Low unemployment and a high level of new jobs being advertised every day means that users more than ever before will need easily accessible and understandable help to sort through the massive range of career choices. Signs that job advertisements have fallen in both February and March indicates some slowing of the economy, but this makes it more vital than ever to get into the right job before competition rises again.

Using the JOBX platform allows Jobs.com.au to provide a range of tools and resources for job seekers. From job-related videos, including tips on how to do well in interviews to inspiration and advice from experts in their field. There's also a range of web 2.0 features such as the job wiki, polls, webinars, job news, competitions and podcasts. Jobs.com.au also provides a cheaper alternative for employers to advertise a job online with listings starting from just $29.95.

Jobs.com.au provided a portal to many top career websites and job search tools from its original launch in 2007, but the redesign of the site has dramatically improved the range of user experience. A powerful search tool has been added to the site, making it much more convenient to find the best jobs, as well as a massive expansion of the job categories index to help users of all kinds to narrow down their search criteria even further. Additionally, extra resources and training possibilities have been added to the Jobs.com.au site by JOBX, giving users help beyond just searching through advertised positions.

With Patience Comes Great Adventure!

My friends and I have been planning a short trip to New Zealand over the last couple of months and were hoping to leave in a couple of days. We've had to postpone as her credit card application is taking forever to lodge and get approved! Mine went through very quickly so it seems that to get the quickest credit cards apply online!


We've had other problems with fraudulent travel websites when searching for airline and accommodation deals too so avoiding credit card scams is very important to keep in mind.

We'll simply just have to be patient and have an extra wonderful time to make up for the long wait!
