Traditional Ceiling Lights

Lightingplus-online.co.uk supplies a vast and wide spread selection of lighting solutions for any room or styling in your home. Their range is truly exceptional, and I know from experience that it will take you some time to whittle your choices down to your eventual selection or selections.

I was personally looking for ceiling lights to accompany my already quite traditionally designed lounge. I wanted a light that could seamlessly drop into my living room without looking totally out of place, and Lighting Plus provided me with a great number of options to do this effectively and stylishly.

Their range of traditional ceiling lights was more extensive than anything I had ever seen, with designs from the rustic and almost medieval, to extremely delicate and intricate chandeliers.

I really liked the look of their Cromwell model, which was at the extreme end of the rustic scale, with a heavy wrought iron base and chain hanging, with an old bronze finish.

My new ceiling light is fantastic, and compliments the room extremely well.

BPA Free Water Bottle

I was becoming increasingly frustrated with the short life I was getting out of the plastic bottled water I had been buying from the supermarket. I go running two or three times a week and always take a bottle with me.

I’ve found that I get only a few uses out of a bottle before it begins to lose its shape and even give an odd taste to even my filtered water. I decided to take some positive action and check out the internet for a good quality water bottle.

Shortly into my search I came across an excellent website for One Green Bottle. The company specialise in stainless steel water bottles that are safer, more environmentally conscious and altogether more stylish than their plastic counterparts.

The grade 304 stainless steel used by onegreenbottle.co.uk is the material of choice for the food and beverage industry, and eliminates the possibility of the leaching of the harmful BPA chemical found in polycarbonate plastic containers.

My new BPA free water bottle is brilliant, and such an enjoyable transaction.

Marmalades

As somewhat of a connoisseur of all things marmalade, I am always on the lookout for new recipes and tastes to spread on my toast. I found a lovely jar of orange and whiskey marmalade online at a website called mikeshomemade.co.uk.

The company is run by husband and wife team, Mike and Claire Dentith out of their home in Woodseaves, Staffordshire. They grow some of their products themselves, but due to demand have also had to outsource to local growers and businesses.

Their pride in the fact that they use no artificial preservatives or ingredients shines through in the taste of their delicious marmalades. The company also stock wonderful ranges of homemade chutneys, preserves, pickled onions and gift baskets of each.

Mike’s Homemade’s delicious products are all available at very low cost prices, of which I can absolutely recommend their orange and whiskey marmalade.

Table Top Drinks Machines

I personally can’t get through the day without a few periodical cups of coffee to keep me wide awake, alert and keep my sanity reasonably intact. My staff and I have been refreshing ourselves from our coffee station in the office for a few months, but have found ourselves wanting a bit more in terms of variety.

I told my staff that I would look into buying a drinks machine for the office and would get back to them if I found anything. They weren’t left waiting long, as early on in my search I found Jack in the Box Vending.

Jack in the Box is an East Midlands company that has been providing vending solutions since their establishment in 1998. They have a great range of vending machines including some fantastic looking table top drinks machines.

The Korinto Fresh Brew was absolutely ideal for our office. It takes up little space, can be installed unplumbed, and offers a range of beverages including filtered coffee, cafe latte, cappuccino, cafe mocha, and hot chocolate.

The team were ecstatic with the office’s new toy, and it’s had some extensive use in its debut week.

Whirlpool Bath

After some very strict saving my partner and I were finally in a position to splash out (excuse the pun!) on a brand new whirlpool bath.

We’d had our eyes on a new whirlpool style of bath for some time, after having some very enjoyable bathing sessions in a similar style tub in our hotel whilst on holiday. We had searched and searched for the best deal since deciding on the idea some months ago.

We’d agreed on one of the brilliant models that Interiors for Homes supplied. It had everything that we were looking for; six massage jets, hand shower, pillow, and even a top spray.

Their prices were really brilliant, and all of their products are covered by a twelve month guarantee. We weren’t charged for delivery, which was very quick after placing our order.

Our new bath is now in place, and provides the perfect place to sit back and relax after a hard days work.

Property Jobs

I can wholeheartedly state that Converge Recruitment were the saving grace of my career. After moving from construction project to project since I left college, the company I was working for were forced to make me redundant following some nationwide cut-backs, leaving me out of work with no income.

After several unsuccessful weeks at the local job centre, I took some positive action and got onto the internet in search of some specialist agencies. Converge Recruitment have been brilliant with me from the start.

Since registering with them, they have provided me with some fantastic advice and help with my C.V, salary expectations, interview preparation and I have benefitted hugely from their extensive recruitment search.

Their range of property jobs is vast, including defence, construction, surveying and so many more. For the first time in my life I was able to choose what I’d like to work on, and with the help and guidance of Converge Recruitment behind me, I feel really confident.

Embroidered Polo Shirts

Our big lads’ holiday of the year was coming up for my friends and I, and we wanted to get some tops to wear while we were out there. We’d seen them before whilst on holiday and thought they’d be a great idea and make the holiday really memorable.

We wanted something along the lines of “Ayia Napa 2008” along with our nicknames put on to some good looking polo shirts. As the main organiser of the group, I got onto the internet to see what I could find.

Luckily I saw a cracking website called consilium-clothing.co.uk, which had a great range of embroidered polo shirts. We picked our colours and sizes and then sent over our design specifications for the embroidery process to be prepared.

I had a sample with me in a week or so, and was over the moon with how they’d turned out, I quickly gave the okay to Consilium to continue with our order, and the other boys had their shirts within another week.

I don’t like to blow my own trumpet or anything, but we look pretty awesome in our new holiday shirts, and it’s all thanks to The Consilium Group.

Drakes Pride Professional Bowls

I’d been considering a new set of bowls for some time now, as although I was extremely attached to my set, they were in quite desperate need of replacing. After having a quick test drive with one of my teammate’s new set of Drakes Pride bowls, it was love at first sight.

I knew pretty much as soon as the first bowl left my hand that these were a set of bowls I simply had to have. Their feel was fantastic, with excellent weight distribution, and a far more comfortable size for my grip. I asked where he got them from and was directed the way of bowlamania.co.uk.

The site was fantastic, offering a huge range of products from a number of top manufacturers. I headed straight for their Drakes Pride Professional Bowls. They looked perfect, even in the picture. I selected my preferred colour, size, weight and grip, and then grudgingly resisted the personalisation options.

I was able to pick the exact bowls I wanted at such a fantastic value price. It stated that the Drakes Pride Professional bowls were by far their most popular bowls, which didn’t surprise me in the slightest.

When they arrived they were even better than I remembered, and played unbelievably well. My new bowls have really made a difference in my game, and I’m playing the best bowls of my career.

Dart Boards

I work for a local youth community program, and we aim to put on a few events a month for the kids. We’ve done a huge variety of things including computer game competitions, film nights, pool tournaments, bingo and quizzes.

Some of the guys really like darts, and so we decided to put on a darts tournament. As our group is quite big, I started looking on the internet for somewhere I could get my hands on about four dart boards.

I found dicefire.co.uk to have some amazing value dart boards. The product I was interested in came with six darts included, and flipped over to offer another target. The board cost just £3.99, meaning it would be well within our budget to order the required four boards we needed.

I placed the order, and benefitted with delivery costs by grouping my items together. They arrived promptly and after having a look, were of real quality.
Our darts tournament was fantastic; we had drama, tension, and some very eccentric calling of the scores! The dart boards performed very well, and are something I can definitely recommend.

Poker Chip Sets

My friends and I started playing poker a few weeks ago. We take it in turns to host a weekly poker night and have a few beers and some laughs. Since we began our card games we’ve been playing with a raggedy old set of playing cards and a collection of Connect4 discs as chips. Not exactly Vegas.

We thought it about time that we invest is a poker set, and so each of us went on a search to find the best deal, ready to report back the at the following week’s game.
One of the guys came back with a fantastic website called dicefire.co.uk, who sold a cracking range of poker chip sets. They had a number of chip sizes, and as there is four of us; we went for the 300 piece set.

The price was great at just £12.99, including two decks of cards, the 300 colour valued chips, five dice and a dealer button, all in a lockable aluminium case. Our weekly games are now a lot less fiddly, and far more comprehensible. We’re all really happy with our new poker set and are continuing to have a great time.

Iontopherisis

I have been having iontophoresis treatments for some time at my nearest hospital, but wanted to make my visits more regular to improve the effect. I had seen some improvement in my hyperhidrosis, but felt that I could get a fuller recovery if I were treated more regularly.

The logistics of my intention were impractical, costing me a lot of time and money travelling to and from the hospital, who were not exactly keen to adhere to my request.

I looked into the possibility of purchasing my own unit for use at home, giving me the freedom to conduct my treatments as regularly as I wished. Thankfully I found sweatguard.co.uk, a website specialising in combating the effects of hyperhidrosis.
At a price of just £299.99 (which may seem like a lot but is actually great value in terms of what I would be saving in transport costs) was a fantastic deal, and one I couldn’t refuse.

My unit is excellent, providing fantastic results the more regularly I use it. My excessive sweating has drastically improved, providing me with the added confidence I was dearly missing.

Children's Dressing Up Costumes

My boys love dressing up when they’re playing. They have a few different outfits in their dressing up box, which they tend to mix and match to make some very unusual attire! I wanted to add to their collection for their birthday, and so began to search the net for children's dressing up costumes.

I found a wonderful website called sleepystars.com, who sells children’s products such as bedding, nightwear, toys and accessories. Their range of dressing up costumes is particularly fantastic however, with a vast array of styles and characters.

After looking through all the costumes, I decided on the 3-in-1 emergency services outfit, the camouflage soldier and the medieval knight costume. I was able to benefit from Sleepy Stars’ discount offer simply by inputting the advertised promotional code, saving 10% off their already fantastic prices.

The boys were thrilled with their costumes, playing with them all day. The fun hasn’t stopped there though, as they’ve hardly taken them off since.

Energy Efficient Heat Pumps

Our local village hall was in desperate need of a new system to give far greater temperature control. We had endured the cold days of winter and the overly hot days of summer for too long during our busy social calendar. To combat this we began a fundraising campaign to pay for a new air conditioning heat pump system.

With a target total of £2,000, we felt that with the full support of our encouraging and very willing community we could get there in no time at all. We weren’t wrong, taking just four months and three big events to arrive at our total and begin looking for suitable systems for our hall.

We unanimously agreed that Delta Refrigeration was the perfect choice for us, offering a superb range of energy efficient heat pumps and air conditioning systems for great value prices. All of Delta’s products are eco friendly and have excellent energy efficiency ratings, like our Mitsubishi heat pump, with an A rating.

The unit we chose was well within our budget, with full installation and a three year parts and labour warranty included. Delta’s service was first class, making such a huge difference to our village hall, which we can now comfortably enjoy again.
