The New Surface Pro 2 #intel2in1
August 11, 2014 by Leave a Comment
When on the go there are a few options in regard to how you can get those much needed last minute bits of work done.
Tablets are great because of their portability and their ability to hop on the internet and grab what you need quickly and easily. Intuitive layout easy touch screen controls its all there. But the keyboard. Sure an on screen keyboard works for short blurbs or sentences here and there but a long document or huge complex spreadsheet will have to wait until you can actually type at a keyboard. So a laptop has remained the dominant traveling workers piece of tech. But Microsoft and Intel have come together to bring about the Surface Pro line of tablet-laptop hybrids. These machines are built and look like a tablet but also work on a windows operating system and feature a fold up keyboard case which makes computing on the go fast, easy and portable.

Update your bedroom for Summer

Update your bedroom for Summer
Now that summer is well underway, it’s the perfect time to refresh your bedroom and make it feel bright and fresh for the warmer months. Below are some simple ways in which you can make your room relaxing and refreshing for the best season of them all:
Change your bed linen
Changing your bed linen in time for summer is essential. Choose a floral print or opt for a crisp white set and watch it brighten up your space. You can also add some brand new cushions or throws for a summery feel. Invest in some new sheets too; after all, there is simply no better feeling than crawling into a fresh, clean bed from Divan Beds Centre with brand new covers and soft sheets. Luxury!
Add a mirror
If you don’t already have a large mirror in your bedroom, invest in one. Mirrors are great for adding natural light to your room as they reflect the sun and will also make your space feel a lot bigger.
Rearrange your furniture
Even moving your furniture around for the season can make a huge difference and can help breathe new life into a space. Move your bed closer to the window to make the most of the sunshine in the mornings, or if you have a working desk, move it around so you can look out of the window as you work on a hot summer’s day.

Why Buying A Home Abroad Is Better For Your Finances
July 15, 2014 by 1 Comment
Buying a property abroad has long been popular with people from the United Kingdom. Foreign lands often offer fairer weather, new foods and exciting cultures. Moving abroad can also be beneficial for your finances.
Finding a specialist
In foreign lands foreign rule prevails; as such, one thing that may be legal in England may be frowned upon abroad, and vice versa. This can get confusing and you could even find yourself on the wrong end of the law if you don’t know exactly what you’re doing. For this reason it is a good idea to try to get some expert help with your move abroad. While you may want to pay for your advice a cheaper option might be to have a look on the internet where you might find companies such as Portugal Property offer free, informative and useful advice on making a move abroad.
Living costs
London buses, black cabs and bad teeth; these are just a few of the things for which the UK is famous. Another, is of course the high cost of living. Despite the strength of the native economy, the British Isles is one of the priciest places in which to live. In the UK, the costs of food, clothes and rent are all on the expensive side for world averages.
