The thing that cracks me up about this site is that they list gambling links ring on the side! You won’t see that in America on a large shopping site. They also offer shoes and computers. Kids and housewares and gifts are also apparently big sellers.

It kind of makes me think of Amazon, but it’s set up a little differently.

This page has Argos Vouchers that are good for things like free delivery of all TVs for a limited time or %50 off bedroom sets. I wonder if that’s free shipping to the US?

That page also has Argos discount codes for money off furniture and appliances like washing machines.

While we are on the subject of furniture and household appliances, I found this interior decorating how-to page which offers DIY and other tricks to help spruce up your joint. I love the post about the DIY upholstered headboard and the videos for decorating and storing stuff in a kids room.

I haven’t and I wonder how much it would help. If you use wordpress, there are tons of ways to build in the SEO through plugins and widgets, so does it really take spending a ton to get optimized? Some people swear by having it done by a pro. I’m cheap though, so it’s still DIY for me.

I would use the notebooks to write 1,000 times: “Always review blog posts for typos before hitting ’send””…

So, here’s what we did for spring break this year. Nothing.

My youngest daughter has emotional and developmental issues so she’s involved with a great group who offers camps during school breaks. She got to go to camp 3 days this week, one day she even got to go to the zoo.

Mid week, my oldest and I went to the gun range to practice shooting my Christmas present. A handgun! She’s a great shot, so don’t with her mama, or you’ll have a 12 year old to deal with.

All kidding aside, I’m using my notebooks to begin journaling about my going to school. I’ve decided traditional school isn’t going to work for me. The timing just can’t get worked out between my 2 kids and a part time real life job. Thanks in part to the journaling I’ve done since getting my new notebooks, I’ve decided to become a coach which means school online for a year or two.  No, it wasn’t just the notebook, I’ve done my homework about this line of work.

Here’s my feedback on these products.

I love both the light and dark shades. The design is a little less shiny on the full size notebooks than on the small notebook and the folder.

The full size notebook isn’t spiral, so it doesn’t open and lay flat which bugs me, but the pages are perforated and have holes to put into a 3 ring binder.

The small notebook is a great size. It’s not super small like the kind you can’t even get half of a full sentence jotted on, but is small enough to fit into a purse. I’m using it to do some homework for a business class I’m taking.

All in all, I like the products a lot. The design makes me want to take out the products and use them and I have hid them from my 12 year old so she won’t steal them.

So, if you’d like to win your own set from me here at www.alexshares.com leave some comments! Tell me what you did for this spring break (or any spring break for that matter) and what you might use your notebooks for.

I’ll pick a winner at random.org next Sunday.

Alex says: you place the bell of the snuffer over the flame of the candle and it blocks out all the air to the flame – snuffing it. I think this method also helps cut down on the smoke from an extinguished flame, but don’t quote me on that.
