Have you heard the news about Walgreens and Express Scripts? I hadn't until a few days ago when a friend of mine was talking about it and trying to explain it to me, I looked up some information about it online and did some reading so I could fully understand what it was all about. Basically Walgreens and Express Scripts were unable to come to an agreement and continue their working relationship with each other. As a result people are having to find new pharmacists that are much less convenient for them – causing stress and unease completely unnecessarily.

To help ease the burden on regular hard working people they have created the Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens where you can get a special discount on annual memberships and for only $35 a year your whole family, including spouse and pets, will be covered and can benefit from savings on thousands of generic medications and even photofinishing services. If you only wish to cover yourself it is as little as $20 for individual cover. It sounds like a really great deal and it shows that Walgreens really cares about it's customers.

If you are interested in following the story then why not follow Walgreens on Twitter and keep up to date with the frequent tweets, or find Walgreens on Facebook to show your support.

Everyone has a widget available these days don't they? I remember when hardly any one ever knew what they were and only the 'geeks' made or used them. The reason there are so many though is of course because they are incredibly useful and beneficial for both the people using them and the company offering them.

Here's the latest widget I have been having fun with from ING Direct – I love the fact that you can use it to find out how much households in your area are saving. You can also use the handy 'my comparison table' to find out how much you could be saving – why not give it a go and leave a comment to let us know?

I have had a few Savings Accounts with ING Direct for years now and always found them fair and good to deal with – on the odd occasion I have needed to get in touch with their customer service team it's always been a pain free experience and that can only be a good thing after hearing a lot of the rants my friends have when they need to get in touch with their banks.

I remember the days when cell contracts used to cost a small fortune and you hardly got anything on the packages, a few hundred minutes, 50 sms and any data you used was extra – and it's not even like it was that long ago, we are only talking a few years.

Now it seems like you get more than you could ever use and for a fraction of the price.

Straight Talk is a great example of this, they offer everything you need and without pesky contracts or hidden charges, what you see is what you get with Straight Talk. There are a number of plans to choose from so you can be sure you are getting the best possible value for money and like me Feel Richer with Android and appreciate The power of Android – whether you are a heavy cell user and love to message and call a friend every five minutes, or someone who only uses the phone now and then when you have something important to attend to.

The “All You Need Plan” offers a whopping 1,000 minutes, 1,000 texts and 30 MB of web data and is only $45 a month. That's a bargain price if you are a chatterbox and always on Facebook and the like – think about what you could do with the money you save with Straight Talk!

The good thing about the Fall TV season kicking off is that I love all the shows that are returning, the bad thing about the Fall TV seasons kicking off is that I love all the shows that are returning – hehe

See I’d love to be able to sit on my behind and just watch all the premieres that are airing at the moment, but if I do that then I don’t find the time to work out – I try to limit my TV time to no more than 2 hours per day (which is still quite a lot in my opinion) and usually try to watch it while I am eating so that I am not just ‘wasting’ time. But I need more hours in the day at the moment.

It’s a good job I have Tivo that never fails to record the things I want and even manages to pick up premieres of shows I didn’t even realise I wanted to watch until after it’s been on gone.

They also have a contest you can Enter to Win a new Tivo Slide at the moment, it only runs for a few more days so get in quick for your chance to win. Why not visit the Facebook Fan Page for more details?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of WeReward. All opinions are 100% mine.

Have you heard about WeReward.com? It's a new system from Izea that allows you to earn points at millions of places across the USA.

And the cool thing is it's all done via your mobile device, you can currently get WeReward for iPhone or WeReward for Android and a Blackberry option is on the way at the end of the month.

Every point you earn is worth 1 cent, so a 500 point task will earn you $5. There are three main ways to earn points – through check ins, tasks and through referring your friends.

Check ins require you to physically go to places in your area and usually take a photo of yourself performing a task such as eating sushi, you then send the photo via various social media sites such as facebook and twitter and once confirmed the points are added to your account.

Tasks are similar to check ins but can be done anywhere, you don't need to physically be in any specific location.

And finally referring friend which is pretty self explanatory – you tell your friends how great WeReward is and once they are signed up and start completing tasks you'll earn a nice little 10% of all the points they earn along the way.

The major downside of WeReward? It's currently only available for those living in the USA so us Brits can't take part – boo! Hopefully they will expand and make it available in other locations at some point

After my first ever jog, which I hated, it took me three days to recover. I had all the usual aches and pains that you’d expect but I also felt light headed for a few days and my shins felt like they were going to snap in half every time I put any pressure on them at all.

I think I pushed myself too hard and the reason I got light headed is because I over heated, so to speak. I went out with a long sleeved cotton tshirt and a little fleece jacket on.

I am going to try again, either tomorrow or Monday. I am going to wear better footwear and just a tshirt and hope that my second attempt works out better

I also need to now seriously consider changing my main goal as I definitely still have more to lose than another 4 pounds. That was just the initial goal I set as I remembered being this weight years ago and from now on I guess it’s just a case of seeing how I look and feel and then deciding where to stop once I am happy – this is new territory for me. I will keep that at 9.9 for now though as it’ll be a nice feeling when I smash it.

My next mini goal is going to be 9.10, which is a bit silly as it’s only 1lb away from the next one – but that will equal a total of 6 stone (84lbs) lost.

Hopefully it won’t be too long until I get there, I am going away next week but after that I am going to kick it up a notch – I just got the Biggest Loser wii game for one thing

Here are some of the naughty foods I enjoyed while away.

Chinese
Prawn Crackers
Fish and Chips
Ice Cream
Fudge
Sausage rolls

My favourite was probably the sausage rolls. I am glad we don’t buy them anymore as they are so delicious and such an easy snack to just grab and eat – I would easily be fat again if I had easy access to sausage rolls hehe

This one features the woman talking about having a relapse after seeing ‘the old gang’ and ultimately feeling as though this relapse was therapeutic more therapeutic than her actual therapy session it seems as she can’t get out of there fast enough!

I love that the videos are left open to interpretation and speculation, it makes me wonder where they are heading and what is going to be coming next.

This video seems to indicate some kind of drug use as the lady talks about a relapse, getting a ‘hit’ and other drug related phrases – but is it really as simple and straight forward as that? I think not. I’d suggest that ultimately we are going to discover this woman is ‘addicted’ to shopping at a certain store or for a certain item – notice the therapist herself writing a shopping list during the session?

Time will tell.

I saw an offer from HP where you can get $500 off instantly when you purchase an HP HDX 16t with $300 coupon code NBN3248 + $200 Instant Rebate. Valid through 8/23 or while supplies last. Restrictions and exclusions apply.

And that’s what got me thinking about this. I have always named my computers, so imagining them talking is really not that strange an idea to me.

My current computer, Bob the Third, is brand spanking new so is probably just finding his way in the computer world. Here’s what he has to say.

“Hello all. Well, here I am sat on Toria’s desk working my little socks off, as ever! When all my other computer friends at the store told me that it was the best feeling in the world to be bought, but it would be a lot of hard work I really didn’t realise just how hard it would be.

She used me to book a holiday a few weeks ago and I’ll be honest, I was thrilled — if Toria is on holiday then so am I. A two week break to just relax and cool off is exactly what the Doctor ordered.”

Aww, poor overworked Bob the Third!
