Mmm wine tasting

Has any one been watching the second series of The Restaurant that airs on Wednesday and Thursday nights? It’s a great little hidden gem of a reality show, a little more classy and high brow than the likes of Big Brother — I love watching people with an actual talent vying for a life changing prize, rather than no marks vying for money and z-list stardom!

There’s been some real clangers from these guys though, imagine giving £4 bottles of wine to Oxford Dean’s who are used to vintage £200 bottles. Or having to raid the cellar of your private house dinner party clients because you run out. Oh Deary!

Not that I can claim to know anything about wine, I am certainly no connoisseur…but then I am also not a budding restaurant owner so that’s OK.

I think some of the current contestants could do with visiting Just Grapes Chicago wine tasting bar to brush up on their knowledge and skills! At Just Grapes they have fully automated tasting facilities where people can go along and try before they buy, or just try because they want to try Great for individuals but also could be a lot of fun for group events such as bachelorette parties!

Let Inner 8 help you!

Interested in investing? Yeah, me either really — my brother has been doing his stocks and shares and investments since he was a young man — I think he used his entire first ever pay cheque to buy shares in some start up company at the time, he’s been quite successful at it overall too. I’ve always been too cautious to get into it, I am a cautious person in general about…well…pretty much everything, but I am especially so with my hard earned money!

With the state of the world economy at the moment though, maybe it’s time to rethink. Having everything you own sitting in one bank right now, doesn’t seem nearly as appealing as it used to a few years ago!

Inner 8 is an up and coming investment related site — a sort of social network for investors to share their knowledge, discuss their options and aid in optimising their investing goals and results. They also offer powerful analytic tools. It’s completely free to join the site and create your own profile. Once registered with Inner 8 you can make a start on finding other investors to make professional and mutually beneficial connections with.

So really, you have nothing to lose on this one and everything to gain.

Planning a golf trip?

My other half wants to take up golfing, golfing is great as a hobby because it gets you out of the house and getting some exercise, but boy can it be an expensive hobby…so I have told him he’ll have to wait a while, as we can’t afford a new expensive hobby at the moment

If we ever have a windfall, such as a lottery win (please please please please please!), I will totally go out and buy him all the best quality golfing gear and book him a Las Vegas Golf trip!

At Waltersgolf.com you can take a pretty neat ‘tour’ of 3 of their courses the Bali Hai Golf Club, the Desert Pines Golf Club and the Royal Links Golf Club. The Bali Hai club looks amazing don’t you agree? That one is my favourite

I’m a big fat cheater!

I’m a big gamer, I’d say that it’s one of my main hobbies along with watching reality TV shows. It’s no wonder I need glasses is it, all that staring at the TV!

I’m pretty much a Nintendo fangirl, have always liked their consoles the best and currently loving my DS and Wii — which like most things game related I own, is actually my other halves rather than my own — but what’s his is mine and all that He’s more of a Microsoft fanboy, loving the Xbox and 360 the most.

A few weeks ago though I had to buy him a new Xbox after his died, he was giving me a hard drive out of it for my computer, but something went wrong along the way and it ended up breaking…or it was already broke as he hadn’t used it in a while, we aren’t sure…but I bought him a new one any way and on the night that we got it we stayed up until past 6am playing it, ooops.

Another area we differ on when it comes to games, I love my cheats…he doesn’t. I was looking up GEARS OF WAR 2 CHEAT CODES a few days ago for my Dad actually, when I came across Games Radar — a really comprehensive game cheats site that covers every console and game imaginable including oodles of Xbox Cheats, guides, reviews, tips and walkthroughs.

I bookmarked it right away and will no doubt be using it again really soon, I have just started a few new games so will be looking up those GRAND THEFT AUTO 4 CHEATS in a few days I am sure
