I'm not a big fan of commercial holidays and can get a little grumpy..... But it's pretty essential to show some love to your mother on Mother's Day. I myself am pretty awful at remembering and also I live a few weeks post away from my Mother too so this year I am going to find and send my mothers day gifts early! Not super early but basically in the next day or two.
I am not sure what to get yet but it's not like I have a shortage of options, however I am on a fairly tight budget so need to be careful.
What are you doing / getting for this mothers day?

Mothers day is almost here again!!!!
Springs for spring plungers....
I find springs pretty hilarious. My clumsy nature means that holding a spring without it ending up pinging across the room is almost impossible! In fact everytime I get a spring I can't resist just pushing it's a little!
All jokes aside springs can be a little unpractical and if you are in need of them for a practical real world project then you might want to look at using spring plungers instead. Spring plungers give the functionality of a spring but contained in a handy casing to make installation a quick, clean and easy job.
In fact you have probably seen spring plungers in a number of tools and devices already.

In Need Of Cheap Car Insurance?
We are all looking for cheap car insurance as it's good to save cash in all areas right? Well car insurance is a must have (by law!) so it's something we should all look to make sure we have the right coverage but that does not mean we have to over pay.
Some cheap insurance does the job does right, especially as it's a competitive market so many companies offer great deals to get your business. Look out for packages that fit your needs and offer some great extras at an affordable price.

Darn acne....and on the neck!
Acne on the neck is very very annoying. I have suffered from it a little and it's a strange thing that makes you very self conscious!
Luckily I don't have it anymore and I did not have to use medication but if the acne on neck problem is hanging around you may need to look into further treatment and medication. I would try a few things first and then if it's still causing major issues it's worth taking a visit to the doctor.
Give your website a leg up...
One of the best ways to help your website make it's way up the search engines is by getting back links from other websites. Back links help tell the search engines that your site is popular or well established and it's important to at least get a few well placed links.
As a help to get some back links you could check out free directory submission. They help you submit your site for free to 20 directories which will give you 20 back links and exposure to lots of users.... This is a pretty good technique and could work out well for you.
Prenatal Multivitamins...
If you are expecting a child then I guess you are doing everything to keep your body in the best condition possible. In this case you may be very interested in a prenatal multivitamin. A prenatal multivitamin could help you keep all your nutrition in order and make sure that baby is going to have the best conditions to be healthy. I really wish that more expecting mothers took the health of their pregnant body more seriously. It's also serious for the fathers to push these ideals and give up all the bad things with his partner so that he is supportive. Mental fitness is just as important for baby as physical well being.
Would you consider suppressing your appetite?
If you are looking at ways to lose weight then you may well be looking for the best appetite suppressant. However you may not like this idea.
Here is my take. I would not do it as I don't need to, however if you are seriously overweight and have a problem with dieting and eating then discuss this with your doctor, they may well suprise you and tell you it's safe and worth trying various approaches.
In these cases an appetite suppressant be in a product that works for real or in a placebo way could be useful. just make sure you understand any risks and do your research.
Getting things right for birth... Nutrition
It's very important I think that you keep your body in supreme health during pregnancy so that you give your baby the best chance of being as healthy as possible. If you have trouble getting all your nutrients then you may benefit from looking into prenatal vitamins. These are specially formulated for pregnant women so that you have the right things in your body.... What do you think about this idea? Would you rather just try your hardest to eat right?
Make PAtion Chairs Comfy
I am sitting in a Cairo Cafe right now and it's a covered but outdoor cafe with some fancy patio furniture.
One thing that makes this place so comfortable is the awesome patio cushions they have on the chairs and just around on wooden benches. It makes me think if I get a patio I will be getting a set up exactly like that!
Do you have a patio and if so do you have it kitted out in a comfy way or does it have un-comfy plastic or metal furniture?

LED TV's are awesome!
When we first moved into our new flat we did not have a TV, however I had an Xbox360 and no way to play the thing! The flat came with a very old TV and plugging the Xbox in it just did not cut it! So I started to find myself longingly browsing at led tvs in store windows.
One day I cracked, I spent some saved cash and splurged... For an hour or so I felt guilty for spending the cash until I plugged it in! The TV is awesome, it's not huge and was not highly expensive. It's an LG brand TV and plays my xbox and DVDs in amazing quality.
I recommend one if you can afford it.

Add Speed To Your Computer
A lot of people think they need a new computer. The computer industry really thrives on this mentality and so many people throw money away on new machines when in reality is a speed boost is needed then they may only need to buy memory for their machine.
I had a good macbook that was starting to be a little slow for my liking and I just purchased an additional 1gb of computer memory. It cost around $50 at the time and gave my machine a new lease of life.
So don't go running to the computer store for a new machine until you have checked to see if the memory is at full capacity or not!
