My Nan has made us all promise that we will do everything possible to avoid having to send her to a nursing home because she has been involved in a pensioners’ rights group and she has heard about the bad things that can happen in badly run homes. She will be interested to read about a new website that gives independent information all about care for older people, and it does not shy away from talking about the dangers either. At the moment they have headline articles about safety in care homes, tagging for Alzheimer’s patients, and how to keep warm in winter. This is worth looking at for all of us, especially me.

They have got the bug – no, not that kind of bug! My family have been gripped by the fascination of an online casino. Ever since Dad’s friend paid for a long haul holiday with some of his winnings, my Mum wanted to try and copy him. They are looking at all the sites that offer bonuses against their stake, so they can accumulate some practice money to start playing with.
I expect they are going to need it, but if they win there is a long lost of things that they can spend most of the winnings on – and they all relate to me. I will be needing money for my vets’ fees, a new bed, collar and lead, and maybe some new bandanas as well. Apparently some of these sites are very good, and the winnings they pay are enormous – thousands are paid every week. I think it is very good of my Mum and Dad to look for ways of getting more money to spend on their darling dog, but that is only right and proper, I guess.

Did I tell you I am getting a new dog bed, as a present for being so brave after my attack. Today Mum was looking online for some nice cosy dog beds and she found a site called Vision bedding .com, where they seem to have thought of everything. Not only are all the dog beds high quality and hand crafted, they are made from heavy knit fabric that is designed to resist pet abuse. I am sure I would never do that, I just tread over the bed a few times to get comfortable … These beds also have a removable inner pillow, which Mum says is essential. They are machine washable and dryable, of course, and – leave the best till last – they can be printed with your best photo so I can have my face all over my own bed! How cool is that? The list of accessories for a pet dog can go as long as u can stretch it. Once you make up your mind about it wrought iron dog beds are just loved by the puppies. Also they feel really elated in a cozy dog carrier that shows them around at a great convenience while a dog collar ensures their safe handling in an outdoor environment.If you would love to have a puppy but price is the concern, try out some free puppies venues to spare the cash for the lovely accessories.

If you or your family want to sell anything through your blog or website, then you need to make sure you have some ecommerce software installed. We have been doing some online shopping ourselves and I can tell you that there are some very good and some very bad versions out there. If you make it hard for your customers to buy, they will leave your site and go elsewhere and that is not what any of us wants. So why not check out the version that my friend uses to sell dog beds – it is available by monthly subscription and it is really easy to install on your site. Practically the only thing you have to do is put the details of the doggie items that you are selling. This shopping cart is really secure – it is SSL verified – so your customers will feel safe when thye put their card details into the shopping basket.

My Nan’s new house has all the things she likes, the previous owners made a lot of good Home improvements before they sold the house to us. They have had all the windows double glazed and the windows and doors do not need painting at all. Mum thinks this is really convenient – she does not like painting outside, and she says it costs a fortune to get people in to paint them. Nan likes the fact that they are not draughty like the old wooden ones. Dad says they look quite smart and he thinks they are very good quality, they were installed by one of the best companies.

We know the best way to travel around London, which is of course to get a travelcard in advance. When Dad’s son and his friend came to stay recently, he wanted to show them all the best places in town. Our favourites are London Zoo, and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre on the South Bank as well as the Tower, of course. There is a new pass that you can buy to get free entry to all of those plus over fifty other London places. We checked the pass out and it was an even better deal than we realised. The pass includes some places that most tourists might not otherwise find, like the Ray’s Jazz Cafe at Foyle’s, the famous London bookshop. Mum loves that place, you hang out among all her favourite Jazz CDs and books, and they often have concerts at lunchtime. With your London pass you get a free pastry with your coffee while you play the cool cat. This pass is a great way to organise your London Sightseeing: you can check out everything online before you leave home, and include your travelcard in the price.
