Conversations With Myself: Credit Cards

http://mmcritchley.blogspot.com/2007/07/credit-cards.html

My thoughts of ways to save and tips on doing things better. Webmasters make money from your site here. Tuesday, 24 July 2007. When most people think of credit cards they think of high interest rates, annual fees, and lots of expenses. What if I told you that you can actually earn money with a credit card? Would you believe me? So now I put all my purchases (well, almost all as some places like McDonalds don’t take credit cards) on my VISA card. I then pay off the outstanding balance each month...It&#821...

My thoughts of ways to save and tips on doing things better. Webmasters make money from your site here. Monday, 2 July 2007. I can’t believe I’ve gone a whole month without adding to my blog. Shame on me! Even more unbelievable is that half the year is gone! Where did it go? It is the start of the two-week school holidays here in New Zealand. Yippee! I have already put a lot of things on TradeMe. Pyramid schemes never made sense to me. If the company is willing to pay out so much money to the higher ...

Conversations With Myself: Saving

http://mmcritchley.blogspot.com/2007/07/saving.html

My thoughts of ways to save and tips on doing things better. Webmasters make money from your site here. Wednesday, 4 July 2007. I’ve been reading another website, John Chow dot Com. About writing and maintaining blogs. It suggested I add new posts regularly and write about something I am passionate about. So I got to thinking . . . what am I passionate about? I know what I am good at, and what I like to do, and what I don’t like to do, but passion? Yelling at my kids? That doesn’t mean I am a hoard...

My thoughts of ways to save and tips on doing things better. Webmasters make money from your site here. Monday, 30 April 2007. So far today, I am doing all right. I have not gossiped, lost my temper, been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish,or self-indulgent. I have not whined, complained, cursed, or eaten any chocolate. I have charged nothing on my credit card. But I will be getting out of bed in a minute, and I think that I will really need your help then! Links to this post. Grizzlies, Here I Come! Another...

Books, CDs, DVDs, videos, stationery, LCD monitor, baby products, and so on. So it wasn’t a complete loss. My advice is to read the fine print when entering competitions, even if you don’t think you’ll win. It is those times that you do get the prize. My top 10 tips for entering competitions:. 1 How many entries can you make? 2 Do you qualify to win? Most companies will print you...

Conversations With Myself: Free Firewood

My thoughts of ways to save and tips on doing things better. Webmasters make money from your site here. Sunday, 15 July 2007. With the New Zealand winter upon us I have been burning a lot of wood to keep the house warm. I know most people buy firewood and have it delivered before the winter begins, however I have never paid for firewood since living in New Zealand. Many construction sites have offcuts of wood they give away. I get wood offcuts from a local furniture company. They have a bin outsi...Let p...

My thoughts of ways to save and tips on doing things better. Webmasters make money from your site here. Tuesday, 29 May 2007. Today I sat on my back porch enjoying the late morning sun, reading the Lipstick Jungle. Book A couple characters in the book are having trouble and choose to be juvenile instead of talking with each other about how they feel. So I began wondering why do people have so much trouble communicating with each other? So how do you know if someone is listening to you or not? It wasn&#82...

http://mmcritchley.blogspot.com/2007/07/tagging.html

My thoughts of ways to save and tips on doing things better. Webmasters make money from your site here. Tuesday, 3 July 2007. This afternoon I walked down the hill to post an item I had sold on TradeMe. And I noticed the doors to my front garage had been tagged (graffiti for those Americans reading this). I don’t know why they call it tagging in this country. If someone can explain that to me, please do. I don’t understand why boys do this. I know I am jumping to a conclusion assuming it was bo...Graffit...

Conversations With Myself: Free Trials

My thoughts of ways to save and tips on doing things better. Webmasters make money from your site here. Wednesday, 11 July 2007. Another great “try before you buy” option is a free trial. However you usually need a major credit card to participate and many of these “trials” can be deceptive. Make sure you understand the length of the trial and the terms. Sometimes you need to pay the return postage or notify the company in writing if you want to end the trial. I signed up to MovieShack. Other free trials...

Conversations With Myself: Buyer Beware

My thoughts of ways to save and tips on doing things better. Webmasters make money from your site here. Saturday, 7 July 2007. I’ve been using the FindSomeone online dating service since February. This site has two membership options: Gold and Basic. As a Basic member you have free access to most features however you can not send the first message, so you have to wait for a Gold Member to contact you. A day later I received an email saying “Please note that the Basic status is only available to new...
