UK Economic Recession Creates Summer House Boom?
Jun 2nd
London, England – June 02, 2010 Despite the current economic recession, it appears sales of expensive sheds and summer houses are booming in 2010. Indeed one of the UK’s most respected broadsheets, the Daily Telegraph, recently reported that sales of high end summer houses and garden sheds, are flying off shelves at home and garden retailers.
“Summer houses have traditionally been used for relaxing in the garden in warm and wet weather, providing a cool shady place of tranquility from the pouring rain, or a place to recline and bask in the summer heat,” said Jasmine Bright, Spokesperson for Summer Houses For Sale
“However, not every summer house purchased by shoppers this year will be used in such typical manner. As the UK recession continues to bite and more adult children, discouraged by the high cost of rented property, return home to live with their parents, a number of these constructions will be utilised as guest rooms.”
“Don’t be surprised by this as many wooden cabins and sheds today are not the creaky/damp places Grandad used to keep his rusty rake and hide his home brew kit from Grandma. In 2010 high end sheds and summer houses are often equipped with double glazed windows, brass fittings and boast mortice locks for additional security.”
“When you factor in effortless electricity hook ups and wireless Internet access, no wonder these garden structures are becoming attractive prospects for twenty somethings seeking respite from spiralling rental costs and exorbitant property prices in the UK.”
It seems with UK unemployment figures at their highest level for 15 years, and many of Great Britain’s youth “economically inactive” this trend of summer house purchase could be set to continue long into the future.

Pet Insurance Could Actually Be Life Insurance
Apr 26th
Taking our pets to the vets has never been a pleasant experience but we put our trust and faith in the caring veterinary practitioners and hope that they can help. There is usually a simple cure for all common illnesses and injuries associated with animals.
But what happens if you are told the cost of treatment is going to be over a thousand pounds? Many of us simply cannot afford to pay this and even more so since the economic downturn. Keeping our pets is a costly activity as we pay out for food, treatments and accessories on a regular basis.
It may be something that has not crossed our minds in the past but more commonly today vets can perform euthanasia on pets if owners cannot pay the vet bill. If an animal is old and suffering from numerous problems this procedure would be easier to accept. However in most cases people simply seek help for their young and perfectly healthy pets.
When did veterinary surgeons become God? What gives them the right to make a final decision on whether our pets stay alive or die?
If there is nothing we can do to stop this then we at least need to take control of the situation and look at what we can do to prevent this. An option would be to set up a payment plan with your vet if you struggle to pay the fee in one go. This is usually an easy option if you are a regular customer. However, don’t expect a vet you’ve never been to before to agree to such a plan; they wont know you or understand where you are coming from.
Pet insurance is now more essential than ever as it helps loyal pet owners spread the cost of heavy vet bills and provides reassurance that their pet, whether a dog, cat or rabbit, will be saved from an early death. There are many different covers available to owners and some policies are cheaper than others, depending on the age, breed and health of your pet.
It is best to compare policies and check which is best for you, taking into account whether or not it is immediate cover, waiting periods for illnesses and accidents and ongoing treatment cover. You can then be clear on what you are purchasing and how you will benefit from it. By paying a small amount each month, pet insurance could save you from extreme vet costs long term.
Vets have the right to perform euthanasia if owners refuse to pay high vet bills so consider your options, think ahead, plan your finances and buy pet insurance.

Warning – The Birds in Your Garden Could Be At Risk Of A-Salt
Mar 10th
Many people have been trying to help out these freezing birdies by throwing them the odd leftover, perhaps, the scraps from a ready meal, or the fat leftover from Sunday’s bacon sarnie. But the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), are urging people to refrain from feeding garden birds leftovers as they could be filled with high contents of salt, which could cause our furry friends a multitude of health problems.
Not only are the birds at risk from eating too much salt, they could be drinking it too. To prevent bird baths from freezing over, some people have started adding salt thinking that they are helping the bids to keep hydrated, but sadly, this is doing them more harm than good.
There are, however, lots of options to keep your garden buddies in tip-top condition. You can still feed them some leftovers, but make sure that they are things like porridge oats, mild grated cheese or cooked rice and potatoes. And, if you do decide to feed them with bacon fat, ensure that it is unsalted, it’s better for you and the birds.
A spokesman from the RSPB said: “Salt can be very dangerous to birds, even in very tiny amounts because their bodies cant process it. Salt can also cause kidney dysfunction, so it is imperative that we leave it out of our feeding efforts.”
And here are a couple of tips to help with a frozen bird bath.
To begin with, try adding lukewarm water, it will help prolong the time it takes to freeze over. Keeping the water moving also helps it from freezing over too quickly, so, try dropping in a ping pong ball, cork or even just a twig in it.
By following these simple guidelines once spring has sprung, your garden will be flourishing with flocks of healthy and happy birds.
