Pound Sterling

The pound sterling (symbol: £; ISO code: GBP), subdivided into 100 pence (singular: penny), is the currency of the United Kingdom, its Crown dependencies (the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands) and the British Overseas Territories of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, British Antarctic Territory and British Indian Ocean Territory.[1][2][3]

To all my co-filipino's or any other nationality, if you are curious about the British money are, then here you can see how it looks and help recognised each of it. It will be a good guide for you before visiting Great Britain. Know the currencies, recognise and identify the value so you would not sound so ignorant when you come and visit the country. Do you know that our banknotes here in England have different sizes. Fromt he biggest amount to the smallest, size wise are in the same range too. Hence, the highest notes is £50.

The pound () is made up of 100 pence (p) exactly like the dollar is split into 100 cents.

The singular of pence is "penny". The symbol for the penny is "p"; hence an amount such as 50p is often pronounced "fifty pee" rather than "fifty pence".

We have both coins and banknotes.

Current coins are:

1 penny, 2 pence, 5 pence, 10 pence, 20 pence, 50 pence, 1 pound, and 2 pounds.

Current bank notes are:

the 5 pound note, the 10 pound note, the 20 pound note and the 50 pound note.

Little Cook

One time Mummy was wondering why I was so quite and she wanders through the whole house and found me in the kitcken stirring the soup she made, it makes her all worried to find me doing the things that I should not be doing but as you all know I love being in our kitchen for there are loads of interesting stuff to play. She didn't get angry though instead she rushed back out to the hallway and grabbed her camera so I posed for her straight away so I could get out the murder I just did, lol. Well, I guess its not at all murder, I was just a typical 2 yrs old who is just as curious of whats on the cooking pot with a little flame in it. Yes, I know its dangerous but I was really being careful and was just giving it a little stir.

The last two shots is stirring the pancakes mixed during the pancakes day. Daddy was our chief cook and me and big sister was the assistant whereas our Mummy was the tester. Since it was a pancakes day that should be celebrated 4o days before Easter, Daddy was letting us to be part of the cooking. We did really well and our pancakes tasted really nice. So, so based on my photos here, do you think I can be a chief cook someday? For now, I am just a little cook but somehow I'll be the next Gordon Ramsay, lol.

Overtime

Can you believe it tomorrow a big Saturday, I'll be out working my ass again? Hmmm, its an OT I can't say no to once my manager begged me to do some few hours on weekends. Anyway, it should be more bucks to my bank, its a blessing I should be thankful. I'll be off to pakasl afterwards though so I might just bring some party clothes with me to save time going home and out again.

Advance Loans

Sis just left me this conversation that up to now I can't stop thinking about. She told me that our house is already done in the province but all of them doesnt wanna live there for they prepare the city. So, her point is, I have to build them a house in the city as well. Perhaps they think I am rich and what they didn't know is all those money I sent I got it from getting a cash advance online. Thats how tight I am eversince for I prioritise them before myself. I dont know what will I do if there is no such thing as payday loans. I dont think I'll survive, I'll be totally skint for sure.

Anyhow, I am quite happy that I am able to earn more in the past few months both online and offline so I rarely get a cash advance anymore. But when my sis asked me just recently if I could buy them a house within the Cebu City area then maybe I'll be needing to apply some payday loans again. But I dont worry too much for trustsource have the best guide to the best lenders company online in where I can get out paying of too much rate interest. Most of the company they recommend are all have these low rates interest offers which come just as handy I need to be. I am that happy that I found these trustsource, without them I would be totally stuff about cash. So, I prepare myself for another loan again. Huh! Life as it, better appreciate come what may!

We Need a New Toaster!

The toaster we used since we got here in England was hubby's old one. If I am right this toaster is about 15 yrs old now. Can you believe it?

I dont know what to do with it for I have too many names that is similar to the 4 I've got. I wanna make a unique yet easy to remember, you know.

Also paying more than 5 bucks is not a good deal for I just saw a new price that is less than what I have paid.

Lucky Me!

I feel so lucky every minute of my life. I am thankful of what had God given me. My life is so complete with my husband and kids in it. I feel so happy everyday and spending time with them every single minute is like a precious gift to me.

Every night I am the only one left awake up to midnight or beyond and I always checked the 3 of them and kiss each one at their cheeks. I hugged them gently and secretly while they are sleeping and just talked stare at their faces and whisper deep inside in my heart the happiness I felt.

My husband who is one true amazing man alive and my kids who are simply my dream, everything mixed into one which makes it completely a happy and joyful life that I truly treasure for the rest of my life. I can't believe I am one of the luckiest woman on earth. I am so proud for the blissful family I have and this is because of the "GREAT GOD".

Dishwasher

Dishwashers is the one thing my husband and I could not live without. I am not bragging nor over-acting but since I got used to it, makes me want to use it all the time. I must say that I am as always a lazy when it comes to household chores. My Mama used to tell me off for not doing anything especially washing the dishes. But when I am in the mood to clean the house I would generally clean it from top to bottom and from corner to corner. But since I am introduced to this dishwashers thingy, I am becoming more idle all the times. One time our dishwasher broke for a week and I forgot to tell hubby all about it, I didn't even bother washing the dirty plates and any other used cutlery until hubby notice and load the diswasher and find out its not actually working then I remember that it got broken. Hubby thought that its about time to look for new dishwashers anyway.

Although he fixed it up by changing the fused but still we are looking for some dishwashers for once we will are moving to a bigger place we will leave this old and crappy one behind. So still worth to look for a new one for the time-being. I would wish to get it from wize as I seen their display with a very affordable price range. The best place I have seen selling dishwashers so far.

Internet Security Software

My computer sucks all the time. I think it has been corrupted with a virus recently. Its very low to upload anything at the moment and when I restart it there is annoying pop-ups keep on coming on the window which I closed for million times. Hubby has been defragged my PC and he said its the worst he had seen so far. I am thinking of buying a new laptop anyway perhaps next year. By then I would surely get one of this Internet Security Software so I will be protected from any viruses that are flying out there.

Its not fun when your PC will get corrupted especially when you have plenty of things that need to be done. I hate it when my computer played up with me that I could not even upload a single photo in an hour. Thats how bad it is. I do need to get rid of this security I am using at the moment for its not doing a very good job. I am not so happy with the service and I am thinking to get a new one soon from zonealarmstore.

Its nice to have photos for the family as a keepsake. So, this will be my project this year to print photos way back August and September 2006 and the recent so then I will try my best to be up to date. Hay, life of a blogger, can be very busy at times especially when you have several blogs.

This is what my Dad Needs

On new years eve, the family were panicking about Dad's health. I received a phone call from them telling me that Dad was confined into the local hospital because of high bloog pressure attack. I thought I will never see my Dad again. Tears were falling down into my cheek and I was too emotional the whole time after I got the bad news. I was praying that God will extend Dad's life and hoping I could see him again during our trip this summer. I was all thankful after few days I got another phonecall from them telling me that Dad is awake and recovering from the very high blood pressure. The doctor was sending him to the City where he can have all the test and laboratory done before its too late, just to check whether his heart has been affected or not. Apparently, the caused of it all was something he did ate. I told Dad, he should be careful of what he eats. He was already in medication for months to maintain his normal BP. But as a typical filipino he stop because he is worried that he might get anemia by taking those pills. Silly Dad!

Anyway, now that he is back home and recovering well, I am thinking to buy him a blood pressure monitor so he could keep in track his BP everyday. This blood pressure monitor seems will do him good and for that matter we will know whenever his BP rise up. I told my family, Mum and Siblings that they should watch his diet carefully and that he should avoid eating fatty foods, food that are rich in cholesterol such as meat, chicken and fried food. He should eat more on seafood, grilled, and steam vegatables and plenty of fruits. Soon as I get a blood pressure monitor I will send it right away to Philippines. Mum is so anxious to get it because she was all worried about Dad's health. We are just thankful that GOD had heard our prayers.

My housing Plan

Like others, I also have a house of my dreams. I wanted to build a house in the near future in my homeland (Philippines). One of my dream is to build a big house for my family and a big house for me, hubby and the kids. But that dream is still yet to come for it requires loads of cash. But I already plan to either have among of these housing plans Log Home Plans, Ranch house plans or a bungalow house Plans. Bungalows has been one of my dream house plan. But when I got here in Uk, my house perception has completely change. Now I prefer a house with a stairs on it so I could have some privacy without hearing the kids noise and scream while their playing. Hubby had though exactly the same thing too.

Make A Price Comparison at Savebucket

The difference of shopping online and shopping in the mall is so different. Online shopping has been the greatest way for people to shop. It is ideal for stay at home Mum, stay at home Dad or anyone who can't drive or can't stand shopping in the crowd. Online shopping will take the ease of you. You can just sit down and enjoy while browsing your favourite online store. And when it comes to check out or paying is even less hassle. Unlike in the mall or some shopping centre in town, you have to queue for hours before you can get the shopping done. Also you can't be able to do a price compare because you want to get out sooner from the crowd.

I know the feeling because I, myself are not a big fan of shopping in a frantic places. It makes me panic and that makes me grab and just grab without even thining if its fits me or if its the right stuff I wanna buy. Whereas online shopping you can take your time plus you can save more bucks and be able to make a price comparison, especially in savebucket. I often get my ipod accessories there. All it takes is search the stuff you want in category basis. I never tried anything yet that I didn't find, I dont know it its only a luck but I guess savebuckets has loads of things available for their customers to have the super convenient way of shopping.
