How to weatherproof garden furniture

Oh but to live on the southern coast of Spain in the warm sunshine with views of the deep blue sea. Sadly for those of us not going on holidays this year, the closest we will get to that will be sitting on our patio furniture on a rare pleasant day. The British weather is renowned for being unpredictable to say the least, so how can you keep your garden furniture looking its best so on a rare sunny day you can make the very most of the sunshine? Nobody wants to sit on the grass or on old, battered patio furniture after all.

Choosing wooden garden furniture

Buying wooden garden furniture is a great investment for your home and garden as everyone loves doing nothing more than sitting out and enjoying the lovely weather, when we get it that is. Choosing wooden garden furniture should be considered just as important a buy as buying a bed or sofa for your living room as you will want to get as much use out of it as possible over the years.

Home Lighting

Choosing stylish home lighting for your home can be overwhelming with so much choice on the home lighting market it is often difficult to know where to begin looking.

Ceiling Fans

Finding a stylish ceiling fan for your home can be difficult. With so many different ceiling fans to choose from, you want one that is functional and one that suits the style and look of your home. Whatever the décor of your home there is a ceiling fan to match from traditional ceiling fans to more contemporary designs. Ceiling fans are available with or without lights offering an extra source of lighting for your home if you choose a lighted ceiling fan.

The Joys of Sky Plus

Sky Plus is by far one of the best developments in television in the last few years, and more and more homes are getting this installed and taking advantage of its numerous benefits. For those that don’t know, Sky Plus is an upgraded version of the regular Sky digibox, and has a hard drive installed inside which allows you to record all your favourite programmes. You never need miss a show again, as you can use fantastic features like series record, Anytime, Remote Record and Never Miss to make watching and recording television hassle-free.

What Is Sky Magic Eye?

You might have heard people talking about how Sky Magic Eye has revolutionised their viewing lives, but what exactly is it? A ‘Magic Eye’ is a little device which allows you to watch Sky television on a second TV set in your home. The important thing to realise is that a Magic Eye is not the equivalent of Sky Multiroom, which costs an extra £10 a month. Instead, this system allows you to watch one set of programmes on two televisions.

Remote Controls for Every Kind of Sky Digibox

In homes where men cannot relinquish the remote control (ie. every home with a man in it!), you might end up having a remote control war on your hands. But worse than being at the whim of a man’s viewing dictatorship, is having no remote at all. Whether it’s been worn out from constant zapping, or simply just been broken through your children messing about, just imagine what you would do if your Sky remote was broken! Could you go back to just the 90-odd Freeview channels after having hundreds with Sky? What about all your hours of TV recorded on the Sky Plus? Do you even have Freeview or a digital TV? If not, and your region has already switched over, then you’ll be stuck with no TV at all, apart from the channel your box switches on to. Not only that, but the only way you’ll be able to set new programmes to record is by using Sky’s Remote Record service, but then of course, you won’t be able to watch any of it.

Online Underwear for Every Shape and Size

How many times have you walked into the lingerie department or store and found nothing in your size, except the boring plain black bra in the corner? For those women whose chest is on the slightly larger or smaller side of ‘average’, buying a bra on the high street is fraught with difficulty. You either face a highly limited and unattractive selection, or are forced to pay through the nose for anything resembling pretty, particularly if you’re after plus size bras.

Bra Shopping Made Easy

It may not look like there’s much to it, but buying yourself some new lingerie can be an expensive business. And not only that, you usually can’t take it back if you get home and decide you’ve bought the wrong thing. There is also so much more choice around now than there ever used to be. Do you go with balconette, push up, minimiser, or plunge bras? And what about the bottom half? Thongs, briefs, shorts, bikini… there’s so much to think about when making an underwear investment.

No More Badly Fitting Bras

Buying a bra is a notoriously difficult process and it is well known that more than two thirds of women wear bras that are not the correct size. For starters, not every manufacturer appears to make their bras to the same sizes, so if you’re a 34B in one, you might be a 36A in another. Secondly, our bodies are constantly changing shape, so what fit you last year may no longer support you in the way it should.
