When I win the lottery and move into my dream house, it is going to have a swimming pool, a snooker room for the fiance, a gym and a home theater so that I can sit and watch all my favourite reality shows on the big screen. It will have swanky decor, drinks and popcorn machines and the most comfortable home theater seating money can buy.

Now I just need to start buying lottery tickets, heehee.

I was looking at tv stands the other day because I just got a new TV, I say new…it’s actually a really old hand me down from my parents, but it’s new to me. I have gone from a 15 inch one to a 32 inch one and I definitely need somewhere to put it as it’s currently teetering on something that is really far too small to hold it.

They are rather expensive though, so I am going to keep my eye on the sales and hope I can pick one up real cheap

My fiance has to get his car MOT done in January, as well as getting it taxed and insured for the year — ugh — expensive

He warned me earlier in the month I wouldn’t be getting too much for Christmas this year because he needed to save his pennies, that’s OK with me as I am not greedy — but I still searched to try and find him some cheap auto insurance because I know he struggles financially at the beginning of the year.

The Biggest Loser is definitely one of my favourite reality shows, though you know my views on the recently ended season of The Biggest Loser USA — what an awful bunch of people they got! But I am super excited for the upcoming Australian version which is on 6 nights a week and the return of Britain’s Biggest Loser which will follow the same format but be a couples version like the last few USA ones.

I always think that they should cover things related to diet pills though, I’d guess they would try and discourage people from using them but it’d be good for them to go into reasons and specifics about certain types of pills such as Fentraphen.

I considered getting my parents ipods for Christmas this year, they both use awful ancient old generic MP3 players that are a nightmare. My mums only holds about two albums before it’s full — but they both use them all the time when they go walking and such so I really think they’d appreciate an ipod.

I was keeping my eyes out for a hot deal on them, but before I knew it it was three days before Christmas and I had run out of time!

Maybe if I can afford it and can pick them up cheap in the January sales I will get them one any way

There’s nothing I like more than a good old sale, I love bargains so much that I even run a bargains blog where I post vouchers and tips.

I always think that the reality tv world is missing a bargain themed reality show, they have every thing else, why not that? I think ‘Bargain Crazy’ would be a great name for it!

Most seasons of The Apprentice have a challenge that involves the teams getting the best prices on several items, that’s always my favourite challenge

Do you enjoying playing online games? I do, Bingo is my favourite because it’s so mindless — just buy your tickets and sit back and wait and see what happens. I also like roulette for similar reasons.

When I feel like using my brain a little more though then I like to play Poker, though I am very much a poker newbie with a whole lot to learn about the game. I know the basics currently and that’s about it. I need to learn all the terms such at Low Limit Holdem, I need to learn all of the different variations on the game and I definitely need to learn some new strategies.

At LowLimitHoldem.com I can learn all of that, they are a well known poker strategy site that offer a whole world of information on every thing about the game — including links to other resources, books, places you can practice your game and the best places to play your first paid games.

I have just bookmarked it and when I have some time over the Christmas period I am going to start working my way through it

My dearest Mom that is, she just can’t get enough and is always buying rings and earrings and the like from those late night TV shows.

Her 60th birthday is coming up in just a few weeks time, she’s not happy about turning 60 so we are all treating her to something nice — she’s getting an opal necklace from my dad, a set of amethyst earrings from me, an amethyst bracelet from my brother and she’s even bought herself a ring…I am not sure exactly what kind that is as she wont tell me until her birthday, which makes no sense, but I am sure it will be some sort of gemstone as as you can tell, she really loves her Gemstone Jewelry !

It’s a shame I didn’t know about TheOrchidBoutique.com a few weeks ago when I was searching the Internet high and low for some earrings for her, they sell all manner of interesting and unique gemstone jewelry as well as swimwear for that fashionista in your life — they sell some crazy avant-garde designer swimsuits as well as more affordable ones in the clearance section.

Take a look for yourself, I can guarantee you won’t have seen swimsuits like it before
