Credit Investigation - February 6, 2008

I thought I would share some of my recent findings. I’ve been looking into a lot of financial things recently as since I moved to the US I have to readdress almost everything I knew about loans, cards and credit. I found creditloan.com which provides a lot of useful information on different aspects of credit. I’ve not got a bad credit history but I’ve not got a credit history at all over here, so especially with the recent credit crash I need to look into the current laws and regulations over credit. The US differs a lot over here but the site I found seems to provide a lot of the information I need. I suggest you check it out.

Neighbours is Moving - February 5, 2008

I recently found out that Neighbours is moving to Channel 5.

This means I can no longer catch up with what is going on via the BBC iPlayer.

Not sure what I’m going to do! I’ll let you know.

Skateboard Needed -

I’m looking for a Burton skateboard at the moment and came across www.modernskate.com. It’s not for me it’s a present for someone but there are quite a lot of websites out there selling Burton Snowboards and Burton skateboards. This one I found to have a good range of products and especially what I’m looking for with my friend. There seemed to be lots of other boards available plus a good range on the Burton section. The site classes itself as a modern skate / surf shop and it seems to tick all the boxes. Be sure to look around before you buy anything as it could be cheaper somewhere else. I’m going to place the order today I’ll let you know how it goes.

My Coat Arrived - February 1, 2008

The coat I ordered from North Face has arrived and its fantastic. I cant wait until I go hiking.

Alaska looks great and i’m looking at going over the next month.

Other places I am looking to visit are south amercia and think I may visit the captial.

Neighbours - January 25, 2008

This is not about the TV programme. I’m not sure if you guys get Neighbours over here, but to fill you in its an Australian soap thats on BBC 1. I used to watch it religiously and its certainly one of the things I miss.

Well the reason I telling you this is because I met my neighbours, one is a delightful old lady who rather bizarrely detailed to me that she was looking for a walk bath tub or walkin tubs (in a southern accent) as she liked to call it. She asked if I would help her on the internet to find one. I came across a few sites but the one I’ve linked to seems to have been the best so far, but we are still looking.

Meet The Neighbours - January 24, 2008

The apartment i’m in is very friendly…

A few people have nipped round to say hi and others have seen me in the car park and also said a quick hi.

Others have brought fruit baskets round, which is not really a British thing so its very weird thing to have to respond to.

My New Jacket -

I decided I was going to go hiking this week and needed some new gear. I was particularly interested getting a north face jacket. I got one when I was back in the UK but its nowhere near as cold that some of the places over here.

I was thinking of taking a flight over to a Alaska so I wanted something good. I found some north face jackets on breckgear.com they offered free deliver and quite a nice range of jackets to choose from. I strongly recommend you give them a look before you choose a new jacket, it’s a nice site to start your search from.

My New Job - January 23, 2008

I’m working as a financial consultant for a major company based in CA.

Its going well so far I have met some decent people and made a few friends already.

My apartment is taking shape, it needs a bit of colour, but its getting there.

I’ll keep you informed.

Bad Credit Loans -

With the credit crunch happening I know the US was hit pretty hard. The number of bad credit consumers has been growing day by day both in the UK and the US.

I found a site which was a great resource for bad credit loans and allows people to compare the deals offered by many bad credit providers.

Have a look around before you decide which bad credit loan to take, there are many and sites like this can help.

I’ve Moved - January 20, 2008

I’m in the us.

I’ve moved to CA. I start the new job shortly and I will report on how its going.

It has been hectic, Its going to be difficult.
