Great savings for social animals....

I need to eat out more this year, think I should add that to my New Year resolution list.

As a nasty woman once told me "A moment on your lips, a lifetime on your hips".

Perhaps I could stick to salad and water? Yeah right!

BaBeeCard listed under MyEggNest's recommendations

Great website for all you need to know about saving for your family. The logo is really cute too. Apart from my best friend who is "bird" phobic, I will be sending all my mummy friends in their direction for up-to-date comparative advice on family savings.

BaBeeCard has been listed under "this weeks MyEggNest's recommendations" on how to save hundreds of pounds with our discount portal.

MyEggNest are giving away free coupons for grocery shopping that can be redeemed at Asda, Tescos, Sainsbury's, Morrisons & Boots. You can register with Couponnet and stock up on coupons.

Top Tip!
Use your coupons at the till to get the deduction and then pay with your BaBeeCard discounted supermarket vouchers or gift card as they are the same tender as cash. That way you get a double whammy of savings.

Happy New Year - What are you looking forward to in 2009?

With such a bleak outlook for 2009, recession, falling house prices, rising food prices, companies going bust left, right and centre. Not to mention the rapidly increasing unemployment level it is going to be hard to stay positive this year.

So I have set myself more realistic resolutions for 2009 rather than the usually obscure and totally unacheiveable ones such as:

• run the London marathon (I hate running)
• give up chocolate
• get into the size 8 clothes hanging in my wardrobe (when I used to wear them 10 years ago and hadn't stretched my tummy beyond recognition by having a baby)
• learn how to roll a cigar on my thigh (living in Buckinghamshire and not Cuba - it's hardly suprising I didn't tick this one off my list)

So, with a financially and personally challenging year ahead for most and the desire to succeed I have set my resolutions at a more comfortable level:

This year I want to:

• be grateful for things I have in my life right now
• say thank you more
• stop my mind wandering back to the past or thrusting me into the future worrying about things that haven't happened yet - to focus only on the present moment
• find time to do 20 - 30 minutes of exercise each day (hula hoop on Nintendo Wii does count!)
• spend more time with family and friends

I wish you all a happy 2009 and hope this year brings you more love, light and happiness.

Now where is that Wii remote????

Waitrose take on Sainsburys' and Tesco

According to Waitrose "We believe that you should be able to shop for a fair price without compromising on quality or service. As well as our celebrated Tesco price match* on branded goods, we feature an ever-changing range of special discounts and seasonal offers on our website, and are even trialing a pre-pay delivery scheme to help you save even more on your weekly shop. So you get Tesco prices, Waitrose quality and outstanding Ocado service"

They also state that "Ocado is cheaper than Sainsburys' on 2,013 products"

So, BaBeeCard will save you 8% at Waitrose/Ocado.....definately worth a check on http://www.mysupermarket.com/

Tens Machine and electricution

It hurts! taking off the tens machine pads when they are still on is not big and certainly not clever. Take my word for it! it's a nasty shock and my machine is still sitting in the naughty corner. I did manage a laugh though when I threw one of the pads in a temper and my husband picked it off his leg and yelped.

Tens machines are little miracle workers (when you use them properly) and my latest fixation is using it to get my muscles ready for the New Year gym fest. I have heard it works wonders for back pain during labour although I don't think I could trust myself not to pull the pads off and electricute myself again whilst in the throes of pain. If you have more self control then there is no end to the uses of a Tens machine.

For exercise: muscle building - rehabilitation - massage - endurance - power - crosstraining

Pain management: rheumatoid and Osteo-arthritis - menstrual pain - labour Pain - peripheral Nnerve injuries - shingles - headache and migraine - sports injuries - sciatica - aching joints - post operative pain - muscular pain - whiplash and neck injury and many others
