How’s this for amusing – my fiance and I are trying to set up a joint bank account ready for when we move in together in a few months time, but despite the fact I have three accounts with my bank already they won’t let us get a joint account until I can prove my home address. Simple for most people, but since I don’t drive or claim benefits or pay the utility bills here I don’t have any thing. I have had to sign up for a new credit card with a different bank just so I can get a statement from them. It’s ridiculous.

Well I finally got my first statement from that credit card today and I now need to scan it and send it to my fiance so he can take it to the bank down there – but I was a little nervous about doing this as obviously it’s not safe to have all those details floating around online.

So I did a search and quickly found iSigned – secure online storage for legal and other important documents – it seems just the ticket. All you have to do is register and upload the important document then give whoever you want to have permission to view it the right to – they will be able to access it but no one else will, perfect!

iSigned can be used by individuals for reasons like the one above but can also be suitable for business use. You can sign up for a free trial and then if you like what you see you can pay a monthly fee to use the full service

I am always on the look out for new weight loss and general health communities to join online, I have found them really useful over the last three years that I have been on this weight loss journey.

The first one I discovered was pretty basic, just allowing you to track your weight, have a profile and blog – then around a year later I found another one that was much bigger and had so much information, as well as food logs, exercise logs, tools to help you find out what calories you should be consuming each day and some really active forums.

I recently came across another one as well at www.wellnessdaily.com and it seems like it’s going to suit me down to the ground. They have so many articles covering many subjects from how to lose weight to how to keep it off once you reach your goals – this is something I need to start thinking about looking into myself.

They also have loads of videos, including one from Jillian Michaels on how to get the best out of a Kettlebell which I am watching right now, I have wanted to have a go with Kettlebells ever since I saw them on the first UK series of The Biggest Loser.

Wellnessdaily.com also have a contest going on at the moment via Twitter where you can win gym memberships and a years supply of Jennie-o turkey among other things – you can read all the information about how to enter that by following this link.

I don’t think Wellnessdaily is going to take over from my favourite community just yet as they don’t have many interactive features but with so many articles and constantly updating content it’s definitely going into my bookmarks folder

So I was on youtube earlier looking up boxing videos and came across this, watch it from start to finish.

The first thing I thought was how random was that? My second thought was that I was sure I recognised the guy getting boxed in the third thing I thought was – hmm Daim, that looks like a Dime bar used to.

Sure enough after reading the description I realised said guy getting boxed was Kavana, random few-hit-wonder from the mid 90s and indeed Daim is the new name for the Dime bar – realising these two things answered my first query about what the heck the video was all about – it’s about the fact the dime bar is back!

Glorious, more delicious chocolate I need to avoid

I have often thought that I should write ebooks with my tips in them, but who’d buy them? There is so much information out there already why would someone buy something from a ‘no one’ like me?

Well I came across missupload.com a few days ago and it looks like it might be the perfect solution – it’s a Free File Hosting site but you can earn money when people download one of your files. You get 25mbs of space for free which would be plenty of space to house a few short ebooks – then when your file has been downloaded 1000 times you get $10 sent to your paypal account. They also have a premium service where you can get up to 500mbs of space, faster downloads and no adverts.

It isn’t going to cost me any thing except some of my free time to write the book so I am definitely going to give it a go and see how long it would take me to get 1000 downloads

If it works out I will definitely consider going for a premium account.

The people behind the series? Talbots!

The final video was released today and it’s a longer version of the original priest confession one. I had worked out that it was to do with shopping so I am proud of myself for that, but one of the reasons I was confused was because in the first video she talks about how her mother and friends would be shocked that she were doing it — I wondered why anyone would be shocked that a woman loved to shop — but now it makes sense, Talbots has somewhat of a reputation for being a place for older ladies to buy their clothes.

But not any more, it’s no longer just a place for your mom to do her shopping — it’s much cooler, young and modern than that now. I had a quick look around the site and it definitely seems like somewhere I would be happy to shop myself

Take a peek at the final video installment below:

Overall it was a pretty neat viral campaign and I enjoyed watching it unfold

During the last video I started to suspect the woman may be ‘addicted’ to shopping and this video definitely makes me thing I was spot on, why else would she be recording the video in a closet full of clothes and shoes and accessories? In this one she talks about feeling sexy and sneaking moments wherever she can to do it – and again hurriedly leaves the scene in order to go and do whatever it is that she’s doing.

I am sticking with my shopping related theory but I rarely get things like this right so it probably is bulimia after all!

Well, we will find out soon enough now as next week they are going to reveal all

Well, I don’t need to be upset now because they are having another one this weekend. On Saturday August 1st. As well as having over 40 great offers in store they will also be running some online on their website so even if I end up not getting out and about again it won’t be a complete disaster as I can always see what they have online. And I can keep up to date with all the news on the offers on their regularly updated Twitter page, I have just followed them myself and suggest you do the same at @kmartdealsnnews.

I love a good shopping trip and now that I have lost more weight I could definitely do with refilling my wardrobe with some smaller sizes

I just started taking some supplements myself, not bodybuilding ones that aim to build me up though of course, just general vitamins to make sure I am getting every thing I need in my diet and also some energy boosters so I can go harder in my workouts and generally just not fall asleep every five minutes.

Hopefully they will make some difference

But I love all the pre season buzz and excitement as much as any thing else.

I wish I could getDirect TV where I am so that I could follow the whole thing, every game from every team is available on their NFL Sunday Ticket!

Who knows maybe it will even get me motivated to lose weight again, or to work out should I say — I am still on my healthy calorie counting diet, it’s just the working out where I have let things slide a little. It’s awfully frustrating to work out so hard and lose nothing.

I have got EA Sports Active for the Wii, but it won’t work at the moment, gosh knows why but they are sending me another disk so hopefully soon enough I will be on that

DirectTV really is a great service though, as well as the NFL coverage they have over 130 HD channels, there’s always something worth watching

The site is different from others I have seen in the past, it isn’t clinical and boring — it’s actually in the style of the sort of fashion and beauty advice magazine sites I frequent regularly.

They have several interesting and useful articles for me in the weight loss section, offering practical advice on how to fit working out into a busy schedule. A lot of people think that because they don’t have the time to go to the gym for hours at a time they cannot get a good work out, this article describes how 10 minutes here and 15 minutes there really can be effective.
