The Ultimates

My girlfriend has just given me a kick and said I should blog about phone charms! She’s kinda fascinated by these little critters and has even more of these than she does shoes! Anyway her latest thing - she got bored with Japanese phone charms - is Disney characters. Winnie the pooh phone charms, known as ‘mini winnies’ has been her latest purchase and she loves them.

So in here honour if you would like to buy some they’re only £2 each, you get five in the pack and its a tenner @ prezzy box.

I was reading in the newspaper this week about how everyone was buying pizza online, and as a result Dominos were doing really well. As a result I thought I would give a nod to other places where you can now order pizza online.

Pizza Hut Online

I like dominos but I love Pizza Hut. They’re cheese crust pizza is better and my wee boy always seems to prefer their bases - thinks that dominos are a bit doughy and fluffy for his taste.

No pizza discount codes today I am afraid but I’ll get some online as soon as I get some.

I was just checking out Michelles website and she’s taken my advice and got a blog, hurrah! Shes still on the default WordPress theme but hey one step at a time. Anyway over at her blog she’s done a post about cheap tent packages. So to be nice I thought I’d give it a mention. Have fun.

Just got an email from one of my mates. If you are looking to book a hotel stay at a Ramada Jarvis hotel you can get 10% off on all bookings made in May - assuming you stay before November 2008.

To get your 10% discount @ Ramada Jarvis hotels enter the promotional code OTASR2 when you book online @ RamadaJarvis.co.uk.

Nice and easy - 10% off for one simple coupon code - thats what we like round here.

I just decided it was about time I signed up for lovefilm - to get DVDs delivered to my house as I am always forgetting to take themn back to the shop and the fines are getting a bit silly. When I got to their website, http://www.lovefilm.com, I saw a box for promotional codes. quick search of google later and I found that RetailMeNot have a voucher code for LoveFilm.

For 3 months free rental @ LoveFilm the code is LFZZ98762

Have fun and enjoy your three months free at LoveFilm.com

I love horror films - and its been an age since I saw a really good one. I’d been chatting to my mate who does the Watchmen Film Blog and he recomended that I get down to the video shop and get 30 Days of Night out. I’d tried to avoid this purely on the basis that it featured some actress from Neighbours (who I last saw in Silent Hill) and Josh Harnett. I was expecting it to be pants.

Thank god it wasn’t. It was one of the best little horror movies I’ve seen in a long time. the storyline is that a wee town in Alaska is so far north that once a year for thrity days there is no sun (hence 30 Days of Night). Some enterprising vampires work out this sounds like a Vampiric McDonalds on offer. So away they romp slitting throats, decapitating people, snapping limbs, draining blood and basically killing everyone in front of them.

A small band of residents try and outlast the vampiric assault - led by the Josh Harnet character Evan.

I would suggest if you love horror movies to go and get this one.

Well yet again dominos have a disount voucher promotion going on through their website. I’ve just ordered dinner and it worked fine.

Get 20% off at dominos.co.uk when you spend over £20 simply by entering the voucher code : CWBUKJYA during the checkout process.

I think this expires at the end of April 2007 - so to save you’ll have to get ordering.

Let me know how you get on.

I’m the proud owner of an X-Box and have been ducking and diving between different websites to find out what the best deals on Grand Theft Auto IV are from online retailers in the UK. Below are prices and links for each retailer I checked for Grand Theft Auto IV and the XBox prices for the normal and the special editions.

Grand Theft Auto IV - Normal Edition

1. Game.co.uk- £39.99
2. HMV.co.uk - £39.99

Everywhere is doing it for about £40 - some places are charging upwards of £49 and asking for the full RRP from GTA IV of £49.99. I’d go for the HMV offer as you get some free stuff when you buy it. £130 worth of vounchers

Grand Theft Auto IV - Special Edition

1. Game.co.uk - £69.99
2. HMV.co.uk - £59.99

It would appear that shopping at HMV for Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition will save you some cash. And as always a tenner in my pocket is better than in theirs.

Already rubbing hands at having saved £10 and preordering my copy of Grand Theft Auto Four.

My wee boy is harassing me over what we’re going to be doing over the next couple of weeks - as he’s off school. And as usual this means I’m going to have to dig deep and pay for god alone knows what.

When I was in the pub over the weekend one of my mates was telling me about some of the things he’d done in the past. And for some reason he started to inform me of the delights of Haven Holidays! I thought they were a jumped up Butlins who played bad music by dodgy on their ads!

Anyway I’m thinking of going to Perran Sands over at Haven Holidays. Has anyone been there as the reviews I’ve read are definitely mixed. Please let me know in the comments below.

Over at Sky Satellite TV any customer, and this includes existing as well as new customers for a chnage, that joins Sky Talk before 30th May will get free entry into as Sky’s prize draw. You can win a VIP trip to Hollywood, there are some other bits and pieces up for grabs but it was the holiday that got my attention. I personally use Virgin - as having to change everything back to BT for my phone etc and the disruption to my Internet connection would essentially annoy me to high heaven.

The SKY Talk prize includes:

• Return flights from London to Los Angeles (I live in Scotland would be better if they’d made it from any UK airport as would have maybe attracted me to the offer a bit more)
• Return airport/hotel limo transfers
• 7-nights accommodation at the 4 star Hyatt Long Beach - Traditionally known as the ‘Riot House’ where all the Rock Starts hung out in the 60’s I think (I could just be believing Hollywood a little too much here of course)
• Hollywood Movie Stars Homes Tour
• Universal Studios 2-day pass
• Private helicopter flight over Hollywood
• Tickets to an LA Galaxy match
• 3-day soccer camp at the David Beckham Academy for 2 children (aged 6-11 years) -i may be Scottish but meeting big Dave would be cool
