Tesco are backing a new online estate agency. The agency called Spicerhaart is launching the website iSold.com. It will launch initially in the Bristol area and will be advertised to users of the Tesco website. The service offers a basic online selling service for a flat fee of £999 rather than charging a percentage of the selling price as is the norm. All dealings with buyers and sellers will be conducted over the phone and online and the business will be kept separate for the Spicerhaart high street outlets.

If you want to pop the question but don’t have a very big budget, then Asda might have the answer. They are selling engagement rings for just £397. The average amount spent on an engagement ring is £1,800 according to the wedding site Confetti.co.uk but it is traditional to spend at least one month’s salary on the ring. The Asda ring, then seems something of a bargain. The ring is the best selling one on offer at the store and is an 18ct gold ring with 1 caret 7 stone diamonds and looks quite good for the price.

According to this article online retailer Amazon is considering a move into the high street. The move comes as Amazon has started to stock larger products which can be problematic and expensive to deliver. If it goes ahead Amazon would have outlets where customers could pick up purchases that they have ordered online. The article suggests that Amazon is currently looking for high profile sites across the UK to pilot the scheme. The move would not only allow Amazon to supply those larger items but also allow customers to pick up their purchases at a time to suit them rather than relying on being in to sign for a delivery.

I have spent quite a lot of time looking for new web site hosting provider over the past few weeks and have been a bit overwhelmed by the amount of choice out there. Not knowing an awful lot about web hosting it can be a little hard to know who to choose. Obviously the most important factors are reliability and uptime and also the level of support that is available when there are any problems but the problem is not knowing this information before signing up. That’s where comparison websites such as Web Hosting Geeks can come in really useful. They offer information and review about hosting providers so you can get a better idea about how they perform. They also highlight which hosting providers perform best in certain categories, for example the best budget hosting or the best blog hosting. Each hosting provider is reviewed with a short overview of the service and bullet points highlighting the main features of the service such as how much storage space you get, whether they offer multiple domain hosting, what sort of support is available and how much bandwidth you get. There are also individual reviews from customers who have used each hosting provider so you can find out what their current customers think. It’s all very useful stuff and well worth checking out if you are looking for help with choosing a hosting provider.

For those who thought they had seen the end of Woolworths the good news is that is back but in an online form. The new website has recently been launched and is proving to be popular according to this article which says nearly 100,000 people logged on in the first few hours. Much loved brands such as Ladybird clothing and pic ’n’ mix sweets can still be found on the site. The new owner Shop Direct brought the brand name in February and has kept the red logo that customers will recognise from the stores. The online stores will sell much the same things that you would expect to have found in a Woolworths shop but they will also sell some larger items that were to big to sell in store.

According to this article online fraud is at its highest ever level with seven out of ten internet users regularly seeing so called e-scams in their inboxes over the last twelve months. Around 80 per cent of users have received fake banking emails or fake online shopping emails. 70 per cent have been targeted by fake requests for money and 67 per cent have been told they have won a competition only to find out it is a scam. Personally I get so many of all of these types of emails that I automatically assume they are all fraudulent. If I ever did receive a genuine email from my bank or informing me I had won something it would be deleted along with the rest.

I came across this website the other day that offers Online poker. Called Titan Poker it has been developed by one of the leading online gaming software companies Playtech. The Titan Poker website has in depth guides on how to play poker including the rules and strategies of how to play the game, so if you haven’t played before its well worth checking these out.  The website also offers a variety of games aimed at players of all abilities. For new players there are games with a low risk factor where you can stake as little $5 and more experienced players can play for much larger prizes. Once you have downloaded the software you can join a table and try your luck. The software offers a real gaming experience and allows you to play up to 16 tables at a time. The website seems to have quite a number of players online at any one time. I visited quite early in the morning UK time and was surprised to find there were 7146 players online with 1191 active tables. With these sorts of numbers playing it’s no surprise that they have given away over $1,000,000 in jackpot prizes since the launch of the site in 2005.

If you want to lose a bit of weight are not quite sure how to go about it, then you might want to check out The Truth About Abs. The program has been devised by a certified nutrition specialist and personal trainer and shows you how to tone up your body to get the shape that you want. It includes a range of exercises combined with diet and nutritional advice. If you are unsure about the programme then there is a 21 day trial programme available with nothing to pay straight away so you can try it first to see if it’s for you.

Recently more and more companies seem to be using social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter for their promotions.  Some examples I have come across include Hotels Combined, laterooms and Eight Hotels. Both Laterooms and Hotels Combined use their Facebook page not only to promote themselves but also to promote other events and charities.  In addition Hotels Combined offer promotions such as donating $5 to the charity of your choice if you become a fan and $20 for blogging about them and have so far donated $3400 to charity. I’m not sure how effective a marketing strategy this is but it certainly looks like a good way to raise your companies profile.

In the current tough economic conditions lasting through the month until payday seems to be getting increasingly difficult for many people. That’s where a Pay Day Loan can come in useful. As the name suggests it is a short term loan designed to help through until you get paid. Unlike other loans payday loans require no credit checks and you can often be approved in a as little as 24 hours. Apex Payday Loans for example provide a service that is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. You can apply online which takes just a few minutes and in some cases they will approve it within the hour.

We have a lot of problems with other cats getting in through our cat and eating our cat’s food. For this reason I have been looking around for a new cat flap that will only let my cats enter. There are flaps available that work by using a special collar which lets the wearer in but I have heard these are not necessarily fail safe as other cats who also the same collars are still able to enter.  This idea is interesting it’s a new cat flap called the Smartflap that works using your cat’s own microchip. The cat flap looks just like a conventional flap and is made to the same size so it will fit into the existing hole but the fact that it works using your cat individual microchip is a big bonus. It is battery operated and can be programmed so that only your cats can use the flap. You are also able to programme the cat flap to lock itself automatically at night, so if like us you like to keep your cats locked in after dark then this is a useful feature. If you want one they are currently on special offer and you are able to get the item on a 40 day free trial to check that you are happy with the product. It also has an 18 month manufacturers guarantee.

There are so many companies offering webhosting that it can be a little daunting deciding which one to choose. We recently switched our hosting to another provider and I spent a lot of time looking around at website like Web Hosting Geeks which offer reviews from people who already use the hosting providers. The website contains useful information such as the top 10 web hosting providers as rated by their users. It also gives awards for categories like the best budget hosting, the best blog hosting and the best multiple domain hosting. This in itself is quite useful especially for someone like me who doesn’t really know much about web hosting but the website also provides lots of other information. The awards not only allow you to see which hosting providers perform best in each of the categories but also provide a useful overview of the service detailing things like how much storage space the provider gives you, how much bandwidth and what level of customer service you are likely to receive. In addition to this you can read the reviews by current customers who are already using the service. All of this makes me feel a little more confident about choosing a hosting provider, after all if a provider has lots of reviews from happy customers then they must be doing something right.

Live Nation and Ticketmaster are to join forces in a move that will see the world's largest concert promoter and the biggest ticket seller becoming one. The planned merger which is worth about $800m has sparked competition concerns within the US with come saying it will create a near monopoly situation in music ticketing. The deal with be scrutinised closely by regulators but if it does go ahead the combined group would have revenues of $6bn and would sell more than 150m concert tickets a year. Under the merger, Ticketmaster investors would get 1.384 Live Nation shares for each Ticketmaster share. The Live Nation shareholders would be left with 49.99% of the combined group which would be called Live Nation Entertainment and Ticketmaster shareholders would hold 50.01%.

The ticket website paperticket.co.uk has been closed by the Metropolitan Police due to fraud fears. The site sold tickets for a number of shows including Barry Manilow and The Killers. It was closed last Friday on suspicion of fraud.

People that brought ticket with a credit or debit card may be able to obtain a refund from their card issuer.

It seems that everything is getting more and more expensive recently and it can be tough making it through until pay day. That’s where a short term loan like a payday loan can help. Basically a payday loan is a loan that you can get quickly with a short approval process and there are no credit checks involved. You just need to have a regular job and be over 18 years to apply for one. It is designed to as the name suggests help you through until your next pay cheque. You can apply for an Easy Payday Loan online and it often be approved in as little as 24 hours.

They run a weekly feature called (oddly enough) Travel Blog of the Week and are currently looking for suggestions. The feature give a short write up, highlighting some of the best articles from the chosen blog with a link back to blog. It looks like a good way to get some increased traffic for free.

The online ticket company Xclusive Tickets is about to go into liquidation. Around 4,329 people who brought tickets from the company are likely to be left out of pocket. However, those who paid by credit card should get a refund. The company hit problems after 18,000 tickets for the Reading, Leeds and V Festivals and the Beijing Olympics did not arrive. A creditors meeting has been called for next month and a helpline will be set up offering advice and information for customer.

The wedding list company Wrapit has called in the administrators leaving 2,000 couples without their wedding gifts. The company which is based in Wandsworth was set up in 2000 and allowed wedding guests to buy presents from an online list. It handled up to 3,000 wedding list a year but has made a loss for the last six years and has failed to honour orders worth £3.5m. HSBC has said it will ensure any guests that used their credit cards will receive a refund but an estimated 20,000 people who brought gifts using switch and Maestro debit or who paid by cheque are unlikely to receive their money back.

If you have a lot of outgoings that need to be settled before you get your pay check, then you might want to look a payday loas The loan as the name suggests is a short team loan designed to give you a bit of extra cash to see you through until you get paid. You can apply for a payday loan online using the three minute application form and it can often be approved within the hour. You just need to have proof of a steady income, proof that you have a bank account and proof of residency. Because Payday Loans are different to personal loans they do not require a credit check so even if you have a poor credit history as long as you meet the criteria you should still be approved.

BT is going to invest £1.5bn in fibre optic cables to give around 10 million households access to faster broadband. Under the plans 40% of homes would be able to receive a faster service by 2012. They are also planning on putting fibre optic cables into 1 million homes giving those customers an even faster service. Remaining customers would be offered broadband speeds of between 40 and 60 megabits a second.

If you are looking for a new pair of glasses you might want to check out these incredible stylish new frames from zenni. The company that makes them Zenni Optical was on FOX news a few weeks ago and received a favourable review based on their claim that they can have you seeing 20-20 for only $20. The website has a huge range of prescription glasses online including their Zenni Optical $8 Rx Eyeglasses which are great if you are on a budget. They also have tinted sunglasses, potochromic lenses and progressive lenses and because they sell their own frames directly to the customer with no middle man you can get a really low price.

If you are looking for a new pair of prescription glasses you might want to check out zennioptical.com. They have a wide range of frames includes tinted sunglasses, bifocal and progressive frames and even goggles. Personally I quite liked their range of rimless frames. Most of their frames come in a choice of colours and once you have selected one you can also select the lens size and shape, add an anti reflection coating, choose whether you want a lens tint and also add a clip on sunshade. You also need to enter your prescription. They currently ship within the US at a cost of $4.95 per order and most orders are received within two weeks of ordering. 

eBay have been ordered to pay 40 million Euros in fines for selling fakes. The company will have to pay the money to LVMH, a French luxury goods group because they have allowed fake versions of their products to be sold on the eBay website. LVMH demanded 50 million Euros in damages after claiming that eBay's French business has not done enough to prevent users selling counterfeit items. LVMH also told the court that in 2006 90% of the LVMH branded goods for sale on eBay were fakes. eBay plans to appeal against the decision and says it quickly removes any goods that are found to be counterfeit.

I found this website the other day that sells a range of personalised jewellery. One thing that they have which is slightly unusual is a section devoted to medical ID jewellery. The nice thing about this site is that you can pick a medical id bracelet and then customise it. You start off by selecting the bracelet type from a traditional design or a charm bracelet. You can then select what sort of chain you would like to have on your bracelet and you can even select which clasp you would like. You can also choose the length of the bracelet and can add an alert charm. The next stage of the process allows you to choose what you want engraved onto to your bracelet. Once you have entered the text to be engraved you can run it through the spell check and preview it before checking out. Despite the fact that all the items are made to order you can still get them fairly quickly, the standard service takes approx 3 weeks or the rush service costs £5 extra and items are made with 3-5 days. Shipping to the UK costs an additional £4.00 by Royal Mail first class or just £8 on the DHL express option.

Tesco will scrap its online florist service from the beginning of May. The decision was taken after Valentine's Day sales were disappointing. The move comes despite the fact that Tesco revealed record profits earlier this month. It is thought, however, that they are reviewing costs ahead of what is likely to be a competitive time for the sector.

I read this article the other day that suggests its worth shopping around for your car insurance. Apparently lots of people fall into the trap of staying with the same insurer rather than looking for a better rate. The problem is that often the insurance company will only offer its best rate to new customers so people, who stick with the same insurer year after year, tend to lose out and often end up paying more. The only problem I have is finding the time to look around for a better deal. Comparison websites such as www.autoinsurance-4u.com can save quite a lot of time. You just have to enter your zip code and the website brings up a whole list of cheap auto insurance companies in your area. Then you just fill in the online form to complete your quote.

Just five months after putting 200 lines of clothing on its Tesco Direct website the group has abandoned the service. Tesco say that they only intended to sell clothing online for a trial period but will not say whether the service will resume.

Backgammon Masters the home of online backgammon is now available in Bulgarian. Previously the website was already available 13 different languages including French, German, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish, Greek, Chinese, Italian, Japanese with the addition of Bulgarian making the 14th language. Users are able to switch between languages in the game lobby by clicking on their countries flag to select their chosen language.

Backgammon Masters currently offers a number of online games including backgammon , poker, blackjack and perudo. The nice thing about this particular website is that because it is available in so many different languages, they have one the largest online gaming communities allowing you to play with people all over the world. The site also supports several different currencies including US Dollars, British Pounds, Euros and Canadian Dollars with the cashier converting your transaction into US Dollars at no extra charge and based on the best exchange rate. There are currently plans to expand the community further with the future addition of other languages including Dutch and Russian so it looks like they will soon be able to accommodate most nationalities. There are also plans to expand their live online help facility which is currently only available in English to include multi language operators. At this rate it looks like Backgammon Masters will soon achieve world domination.

I found this website the other day that offers backgammon online. Called Gammon Fortune they offer a safe and secure casino where you can play online backgammon against other users from all over the world. The website offers backgammon tournaments where you can play for real cash prizes. The more people that enter the tournament the bigger the prizes are. Basically you pay a fee to enter the tournament which is put towards the final prize pot. The winner then takes the cash prize at the end of the game. All you need to do to start playing is download the free software and register as a player. You can then choose to play for fun money or for real money. I found the fun money option quite useful because if you are a beginner it gives you a chance to practice before playing for real cash.

I was looking around at some Valentines Day gifts and came across a nice website that not only offers valentine day flower delivery but also has an extensive range of gifts. They sell gourmet food gifts and cookies as well as wine and cheese gifts. Whereas women are usually easy to by for on Valentines Day, I mean what woman doesn’t like flowers, it is nice to see a website that offers a bit more choice. I often look at valentines gifts for my husband and find I am restricted to chocolates but he would love one of these gourmet cookie baskets or perhaps a luxury cheese selection.

It can be difficult to know who to turn to if you need a loan but have credit. That’s where websites likes BadCreditOffers.com can help.

There is always a lot in the news about celebrities battling with drug addition. The most recent story involves Brittany Spears who was released from hospital today after being admitted two days ago allegedly for being under the influence of an unknown substance. Whilst incidents like this are widely publicised I often wonder where ordinary people go to get help when they have a drug addition problem. I was looking at this website for a drug addition treatment center that provides drug free rehab.

They are called DrugRehab.net and are one of the oldest drug rehab companies in the United States. Their rehabilitation program involves a four stage process starting with a complete sauna based detox program to cleanse the body of drug residuals so that the person no longer experiences the adverse effects of the drugs they have taken. The second phase includes a course of therapies which are designed to help the addict learn self control and focus on real life goals. Stage three addresses issues of self esteem and aims to cure the need for drugs. The final stage then works on helping the former addict back into society and helping them to lead a drug free life. Their results certainly look impressive with 76% of  their graduates going on to remain drug free and becoming productive members of society.

I have been playing a lot of poker recently and came across this poker calculator. It is called the holdem calculator and it helps you to work out the poker odds. With the calculator you can open any online poker table and it will automatically detect your game and display the real time odds and game statistics. You can also use the tool simultaneously on multiple tables. The calculator is designed to help your decision making by giving you a clear idea of the odds and helping you to avoid making mistakes when playing. You can download a free trial version to see if it works for you but some of the larger casinos are currently offering free lifetime membership of the calculator for a limited time.

I found this website the other day called Sloterix that allows you to play online slots. The website has several different casino slots including Eurogrand Slots that offers 10 different slots with prizes of up to $5 million You can bet anything from small amounts as little as 25 cents up to $100. All you need to do to get started and play slots is download and install the software. Many of the games also include a welcome bonus for first time users.

I read this article about a website that has been set up to reunite people with their lost gloves. The website was set up by Jennifer Gooch and so far has reunited four gloves with their owners. She is now working on four similar sites for other cities as well as a book which will show the gloves she has found.

I came across this website the other day that offers online backgammon. You can join for free and play backgammon for real money online. Prizes range from $5 up to $50,000.

The website offers live backgammon tournaments and also has a lot of useful information about how to play, including tips to help you improve your game. It is also available in seven languages.

I was looking around at some last minute holiday deals with a view to going away after Christmas and found this website that has some great discounts. They offer a range of different accommodation from Hotel Reservations and resorts to vacation rentals as well as offering flights and car hire. The website has a useful destination guide to help you find the perfect holiday for your needs and you can view it in your own language and currency, which makes booking a holiday much easier. It’s certainly worth a look if you are thinking of booking a holiday.

I have been trying to get all my Christmas shopping done early this year so I don’t have a last minute rush. So far I have done most of it online which saves quite a bit of time. One website that I came across that has a really good range of gift ideas is Optics Planet. They sell cameras, binoculars, Ray Ban sunglasses, microscopes and MP3 player, just to name a few items. They have a useful gift guide where you can filter by price, category and occasion which is great if you want some ideas. They also offer free shipping within the US on an order of more than $29.95.

I buy and sell items on ebay on a regular basis and so far have not had any major problems, other than a few items being lost in the post, which have always been promptly replaced. I do however; tend to assume that most ebay users are honest. This article made me rethink that. Sheryl Johnson sold items on ebay that she did not actually own and managed to make £800 from the exercise. Police traced her because she had given her victims her name and address so they could send her cheques. She admitted to two counts of fraud and has been given a twelve month supervision order.

With Christmas coming up and finances getting a little tight I have been looking around at Loans. I found this website that offers a good loan comparison service. They have various types of loans including unsecured loans and homeowner loans. Their best buy table shows you the top loans that are available now. They show the amount that you can borrow, the typical Apr and also give you more detailed information. The most useful thing about this website is being able to compare the important things like the loan amount and the Apr across a range of products and companies.

For the more advanced paintball players they also stock an impressive range of paint ball guns and upgrades for your existing gun. They also have a range of heavy duty clothing, gloves and elbow and knee pads as well as a range of paintball tubes at very reasonable prices.

I found this website rushmore online casino that has over 90 casino games you can play online. Among the games they offer are roulette, craps, blackjack and poker. When you sign up and make your first deposit you can earn as much as $888 as a welcome bonus. They way this works is they will match your first deposit up to $400 and when you make a second deposit they will once again match it, up to a value of $488 meaning you end up with $888 free.

I found this website the other day that specialises in natural skincare. They specialise in skincare and beauty products that are usually found in spas, department stores and doctors offices. As well as offering well know brands they also offer their own product line which includes their exclusive skin dimensions products. The products include acne care, anti aging products and moisturisers.

It was my Dads birthday a few days ago and as I wasn’t able to see him on the day I sent him a gift. I used this website called realbeerbox.com. They carry a range of beers and real ales from some of the smaller, lesser known breweries. My Dad is always keen to try new ales so I ordered a case of mixed bottles. It’s the second time I have used them and I have been impressed both times. They delivered when they said they would and according to my Dad the bottles were wrapped securely in a large box. He seemed very impressed. I will definitely be using them again.

I found this website that allows you to download games. It has games for pretty much anyone and includes Mac games and tycoon games where you can be a TV manager or a plant tycoon. I quite like platform games so had some fun playing Darwin the monkey but if that’s not your thing then they have a variety of board games and puzzle games as well.

If you are having trouble being approved for a credit card you might want to check out this website. They have a section that specialises in credit card for people with bad credit who are finding it difficult being approved for a regular card. The website is for US residents and has a credit card application online.

Although it takes seven years to remove bad credit marks from your credit history these cards can help you make a start.

Microsoft has recently paid $240m for a 1.6% stake in Facebook. This puts the current value of the website at $15bn. Facebook reportedly turned down an offer from Google before agreeing the Microsoft deal.

This time of year always seems to be really expensive. I find that because I tend to purchase most of my Christmas presents early that it can be a really long month and I just seem to run out of money really fast. That’s where a cash advance or payday loans can help. Basically it is a short term loan that is designed to do what the name suggests and help to get you through to pay day.

This type of cash advance seems to be becoming increasingly popular in the US although I haven’t yet seen it offered in the UK. The loans are aimed at people that are in regular employment are earning at least $1,000 a month and have a valid checking account. Usually you can borrow between $100 and $1500 and the loans are also available for people with poor credit history. At the end of the loan period the lender then withdraws the loan amount and the loan fee. Some lenders also give you the option the roll over the loan until next payday but due to the nature of this type of loan being short term, I am guessing this is where the loan company makes their money in charging extra fees for this service.

If you need a loan you might want to have a look at Magic Loans. They offer Home Loans, consolidation loans and secured loans. You can use the form on the website to see how much you monthly repayments are likely to be on the loan you need. If you are not sure what sort of loan is best for you they you can request a call back and one of their advisors will help you. They will take into account your personal circumstances to find a loan that suits your requirements. You can also used the loan budget calculator on the website to calculate how much you can afford to pay each month.

Virgin Media are testing a new fast broadband connection that could be twice as fast as BT. Customers in Folkestone, Ashford and Dover are taking part in a pilot scheme that provides a connection at 50 megabits per second. Virgin Media are able to use their cable network to handle more information than traditional phone lines, therefore providing a much faster connection.

I was thinking of redecorating the upstairs bathroom and came across this website that sells a wide range of Bathroom Accessories & Suites. I found a nice whirlpool bath and shower tower that has an eight jet whirlpool system and a bath filling system. They also have a good range of kitchen units and appliances including integrated units for fitted kitchens. They offer same day despatch on most items if you place your order before 2pm and orders of £50 or more qualify for free delivery within the UK. They can also ship some items outside the UK at an additional cost.

They offer van insurance for commercial use meaning you are insured to drive in any EU country up to a 3.5 tonne van. The Autonet Insurance Group has a reputation as a low cost, high quality insurance provider so should be able to give a Cheap Van Insurance quote. The company has formed relationships with many of the UK’s leading insurers so they can offer you the best possible rate. If you do manage to find a cheaper quote elsewhere for the same level of cover they also offer a full money back guarantee.

Dell is to start selling computers at 1,400 Staples stores in the US. Dell seem to be moving away from their policy of selling directly to the customer are making their products more widely available. Dell has also struck deals to sell their products in Wal-Mart and the Carphone Warehouse in the UK.

I was reading this interesting article about UK cosmetic surgery companies and how ethical they are. In the article a slim 27 year woman went to three London based companies for a consultation about Liposuction Surgery. The interesting thing about her case is that she probably didn’t need the surgery at all as at 5ft 9 and only 9 stone 5lb she was around her ideal weight.

I read this article the other day that suggests one in ten British adults has been a victim of mass marketing scams. The most common scams include Nigerian pen scams and notifications of winning a foreign lottery. More than 3.2 million people have been conned out of their hard earned cash by one of these scams according to the Office of Fair Trading. Many of the gangs who run these scams are based in English speaking parts of Nigeria and West Africa and use their profits as funding for drug trafficking, according this article. In a month long investigation in Nigeria investigators seized more than 4,500 fake cheques, postal orders and bank drafts with a value of around £8m. Most of the scams involve the victim having to pay an advance fee to claim a prize or to have a large amount of money transferred to their account.

Initially they supplied quality maps for organisations throughout the UK and digital mapping to a global market but they have now also moved into providing 3D maps. Their 3D maps go one step further than a normal printed map. They are hand drawn to give an artists impression of your premises so are great for promoting a business.

To produce a 3D map they start by conducting a full photographic survey of your premises. They take hundreds of photographs of the establishment. From this they agree create some rough drawings based on the photographs. They then agree a rough perspective with you. The next step is producing a proof of the map for your approval so you can see what the final product will look like. The final illustration is then created by working both from the rough designs and the photographs to help ensure the colour is applied correctly and that all the detail is correct. The finished article is something like you see below, in the example of a map created for Worth School.
