Which to pick? We have a small terraced house, and can't have an real tree as we have a cat, a dog and crawling, toddling grabby 1 year old so the pine needles would be a big no-no!
A 5ft Green "Aspen" Tree: from Argos -
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/pa...
(Smaller, more natural looking, cheaper)
Or a 6ft pre-lit white tree (can't find a pic of it online but its lit with blue LED lights) - a bit more expensive and don't know if I can justify spending that much on a Christmas tree when theres pressies to buy also!
I can't decide!!! I wanted a nice tall tree this year but my other half doesn't want anything too big as our house is quite small . . .
Christmas Tree? Help me decide!!!?
Small tree on a table to high for the one year old to pull down if she/he is cruising or walking. But low enough for them to see and admire. That's what I did when we were in the exact same situation. We had a smallish pretty pretendy tree. One year we had a very small live one. But then you have to worry about if it lives or dies afterwards.
I hope you all have a lovely time. xx
Reply:get the argos one, unless you cant be bothered to do your own lights.
Reply:Take this into account when buying your tree -- next year your other half will not want to get a real tree either, and you will be reusing the tree you purchase this year -- so get the largest and best one you can, because they do last for a few years and that alone can justify the cost. I spent almost three hundred on my tree and this is it's third year and it is just as beautiful as it was the first year. So that is something to think about. Also watch the sales -- personally I am not crazy about blue lights on a Christmas tree, I prefer the white lights as it gives off a much more subtle glow.
Reply:My sister had a white one with lights and it only lasted one christmas, stick to the other one !!!
Reply:Get the argos one, I think you'd get sick of the white tree with blue lights after a while.

Are there any books for fitnesss techniques.. which is easy to read and simple eg: sections for your bum,arms.

Are there any books for fitnesss techniques.. which is easy to read and simple eg: sections for your bum,arms.
hi, i don't think a book will be good for illustrating an exercise. Because it will not show you the step by step procedure of what to do.. Try to buy a video, i actually would recommend WINSOR PILATES if you want to tighten your bum. I did lose weight by diet and exercise combined. Dieting means not fasting, ok? I eat fresh veggies during dinner and (because I live in the Philippines), i minimize eating rice, because it's a carload of carbohydrates...Exercising is for toning your body. As you go on a diet, some skin will hang lose so you need to tone and tighten them up. In three weeks, you will see great results. My shoulders and bums and legs tighter, and with my height of 4'10", i have looked slender and taller and slim. This is from my own experience. You just need discipline, you know. The Winsor Pilates has a video for beginners. Try it!

If you have a cooler, i.e. air conditioner instead of a swamp cooler, either you have no refrigerant left or your system had a leak.
Open the back and check, if the compressor is warm/ hot to touch...

Mikomi LCDW19HD....720 OR 1080?
Hi,
I was wondering if anybody knew if the Mikomi LCDW19HD TV is full HD (1080) or only 720 lines?
Thanks for any help!
:)
Link to the TV @ Argos...

Mikomi LCDW19HD....720 OR 1080?
To conform to the European HD Ready specification it must be capable of displaying 720p/1080i 50Hz and have an HDMI input.
As this set claims to be HD Ready then you can be satisfied that it meets the required specification or Argos would be committing an Offence.
Looking at the description I would say that it is quite ok. in this respect. It may even display 1080p pictures, which is best for fast action video gaming from the latest consoles.
Beware of cheap tv sets though. Make sure that the on-set buttons always work. Some of them cannot be tuned when in Freeview mode except by use of the remote control. That would be a real pain if the remote was lost or broken.
Also, they tend to have limited angle of view: that is, unless you're sitting almost directly in front of it you may not get a good picture.
Reply:This TV does not have a Digital Tuner inside and will require you to make another purchase so you can receive HD channels.
Going off the resolution it is 720p.
This TV is a progressive scanning TV not an interlaced scanning TV.
This TV is HD Ready which means you will need a HD Set Top Box to receive HDTV channels.

Girls whats the best one shaver for bikini line???
Shaving gel and a razor - those shavers don't get close enough
*EDIT Exfoliate before you shave and once you have finished put cold water on the area to close the pores - as long as you exfoliate you shouldn't get an ingrowing hairs - I have done this for many years and have never suffered from them
Reply:forget about shaving and try waxing.
Reply:i wouldn't buy one of those its a waste of money. Just use your regular shaver with shaving gel or cream, thats what i do and it works fine. i use a Venus
Reply:I would say the first one since it's smaller and can get the hard spots
Reply:oooooh dont shave wax everytime you make my eyes water
Reply:Get waxed. It's a million times better.
Reply:the first one, its smaller so its easier to use on such a small place
the second one is better for something like your legs
Reply:just use Immac
Reply:I actually use a guys razor. It's the gillette fusion. It has 5 blades, and 2 strips that keep it moisturized. It works like a charm. But here's a little extra advice that will save your life. Ever have a problem with razor burn?? Well all you do after you shave it get out of the shower, dry yourself off, and then take some dove deordrant, it doesn't matter what scent, as long as it's not gell, and just rub that over the area you shaved, and even on the outter part of your 'little girl'. Not only does this help with razor burn, but it also leaves a fresh smell all day long.
Reply:I use a triple blade razor and shaving cream, that I took from my BF..
And also, his Norelco triple-header electric shaver....

Anyone use an indoor antenna for freeview? And does it work good?
I live very close to the glasgow city centre (Less than a mile) so I'm guessing the area should get strong reception (How do I find where the nearest transmiter is?). Also on the freeview website it says reception is good so will an indoor antenna work?
How about this one:

Anyone use an indoor antenna for freeview? And does it work good?
I work at Best Buy, in Home Theater, and Im a HT Pro2, meaning Im certified.
.. ..we have about 10 open time Indoor Antennas. meaning people bought them, and then returned them because they didnt work.
BUT a lot of it has to do with location. If u buy one, keep the reciept!
Reply:my isiter uses one at her flat and its fine. i think you may find that it will work better in some parts of the house than others eg.upstairs (though it may be fine throughout the house)
if you do try one and have problems, consider using a booster, our aeriel is outdoor but when we first tried freeview the reception was terrible, we only got a few channels and they were not coming through properly - totally unwatchable, just odd squares of the picture in a black screen, but since we fitted a booster (cost aboput £10) its perfect.
http://www.ukfree.tv/maps.php see this link to see the location of your transmitter, you may be able to work out if you have anything that may block a signal eg. high buildings etc. these may impede the signal at lower levels but not on higher floors.

Is this a good camera?
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/pa...
if it isnt good, any suggestions? the most i can spend is £150
Thanx
Is this a good camera?
I spent weeks researching, and after reading numerous glowing reviews, from consumers, and professionals, it seems Canon PowerShot A series are one of the best, in their class for features. please take a look at this ,
http://www.trustedreviews.com/digital-ca...
The Canon PowerShot A570IS. 4x Optical zoom, 4 x digital, 2.5in Lcd .7.1mp
it has numerous shooting modes,
Kids %26amp; Pets ( for those pictures you want to take when baby/child and or pet wont keeps still for long) Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, Foliage, Snow, Beach, Fireworks, Aquarium, Underwater, Indoor,Night Snapshot, Stitch Assist
Macro
There is also a training dvd thats available to help you get the most from your camera, available from amazon
http://www.bluecranedigital.com/a570is.h...
I brought it just after xmas, for £109.00 including p+p in the UK @.buyacamera.co.uk
www.buyacamera.co.uk, price is now £94.99
http://www.buyacamera.co.uk/
its also available on www.argos .co.uk for £129.99
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/pa...
and the image quality, is superb, This camera is a great point an shoot camera, but it also has loads of additional functions,within the cameras manual mode, that makes it a cut above the rest in it's class.
Some of this camera's many features include, face recognition, red eye fix , image stabiliser, movie mode, it can even be used under water, ( with the aid of separate casing) to many to mention here. but really a top little camera, for the money
Reply:in my opinion it would be a better idea to buy CANON A720
Reply:You don't say what you want it for - snapshots or serious photography. Looks ok to me, but you would be best to visit the shop and ask to hold a few cameras in your price range, to see which you were comfortable with. Also, check if the camera includes a memory card or would that be extra. I bought a bigger camera but couldn't take pictures until I bought a memory card for it. (not cheap)
Reply:Get along to Aldi they have a great camera there for £60.
Reply:It should be OK for most everday purposes. The only thing it seems to be missing is an optical viewfinder which you may find useful from time to time, eg in bright sunshine when the screen is difficult to see.
Have a look at a Canon A570 for comparison.
Reply:For everyday photos it will be good
