Keep your drains clean

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: not that many

...Keeping your drains clear is a very useful home maintenance project. And, if done properly need not cost much money. There are dozens (probably more) propriety drain cleaning products available. These range from the useless to the very useful but also high dangerous. Remember. Whenever you deal with drain cleaning products always read the instructions, never, ever decant them into other containers and always, at a minimum, wear suitable rubber gloves. One of the best and most effective forms of drain cleaner are soda crystals. Old fashioned? They may well be. But they work and, although not entirely risk free, they are certainly not as dangerous as some drain cleaning products on the market. If you want to ensure that your drains do not block, follow the instructions on a packet of soda crystals and give your drains a regular...

Cover The Heaving Bosoms

Advantages: Very easy read, funny although I don't think it was meant to be!
Disadvantages: A really interesting premise which could have been fantastic, unbelievable at times, insensitive

...I regularly buy books from Amazon, and love the feature that recommends books you may like based on your recent purchases. Browsing through this section I have found some great books. This was one of the books Amazon thought I might like, though I'm not sure which book bought led them to this assumption. Plot Cover The Mirrors by Faye L Booth, tells the story of Molly Pinner, orphaned at birth and raised by her medium Aunt Florrie, during the height of spiritualisms popularity in Victorian Preston. Molly's life had started poor, in the slums, but at the age of 16, her Aunt and herself find themselves wealthy due to the popularity of her Aunt's 'Talent' of communing with the dead. Her Aunt's untimely death leaves Molly in charge of the family business, and with her Aunt's final advice ringing in her ears, never...

Cover

Advantages: Keeps your monitor clean
Disadvantages: Not suitable for all monitors

...We have recently had a spending spree at work and we ended up buying one of these monitors covers for one of the pc's in the office. ----------------------- Why did I buy it? ------------------------ As I work for my Local Government body, we have to spend our entire budget as if we don't, the next financial year we will get our budget cut! I wouldn't normally buy a cover but we had to spend the money and it is a useful thing to have. --------------------------- Who makes these? ---------------------------- Fellowes is one of our main suppliers of computer equipment and they are always really good on price. There are many suppliers who make and sell these covers now and you can get them off the shelf at PC World and other computer shops. -------------------------------- What does it look like...

Dermablend cover creme - confidence in a pot

Advantages: Unbeatable coverage
Disadvantages: A little pricier than average

...For anyone who has less than perfect skin, this is a highly effective concealer. It's recommended by both dermatologists and plastic surgeons for its effectiveness and perfectly hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic formula. It can be used to conceal vitiligo, hyperpigmentation, and acne to name a few but I use it to conceal scars. My skin is scarred with lots of red blemishes from when I had bad break outs and didn't leave them to heal like I should have :) I used to use Rimmel hide n heal because thats all I ever needed but as my skin worsened, I found it wasnt doing the job anymore. My mum is involved in the beauty business and had a sample pallet of all dermablend shades, so I pinched it! Turns out its brilliant at covering up scarring so I'm glad I did, sorry Mum! It's got a really waxy consistency and if applied correctly...

Cover Me.....

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Thought this looked like an interesting category to write in, so here goes?? 10. Limp Bizkit ?Behind Blue Eyes? - originally by The Who ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get some points clear before I?m crucified - I am not a Limp Bizkit fan, never have been and never will be - but this is a superb cover all the same. The Who, a band I?m not terribly familiar with due to both my age and my taste, made a name for themselves with one of their finest songs, Behind Blue Eyes. Fred Durst?s decision to cover this was largely due to the critical bashing that the band were receiving at the time, and thought to himself that a cover of such magnitude may well save face for the band. It reached out, in a way, to fans of the Who, fans that wondered as to how well such a band could cover such a song, and rather unexpectedly...

A quick cover up

Advantages: Price, range of colours, looks natural, stylish packaging.
Disadvantages: Can only be bought at Boots.

...There are some products in my make up bag that I cannot leave the house without, and this is certainly one of them. I first came across this product when I wanted to use a £5 gift voucher I had for No.7 products and decided I may as well try this as it only cost £2 in this offer. Concealer is a product that I always use every day as it is such a simple way of achieving perfect-looking skin without anyone knowing the real state of my skin. What are concealers? Concealers are a great way of covering up any blemishes and imperfections on the skin, without masking the natural colouring of the face. They can be bought in either solid stick form or liquid form depending on their use. Liquid concealers are thinner and are best used to cover up shadows in the under eye area. Solid concealers are best when used to cover up blemishes...

SHEER COVER MINERAL POWDER FOUNDATION

Advantages: Great coverage
Disadvantages: TIME CONSUMING

...Sheer Cover Mineral Powder Foundation There are several foundations on the market. Tinted Moisturizer, Mousse or Whipped Foundation, Liquid Foundation, Cream-to-Powder Foundation and Minerals the choice is endless. It?s important for women and in some cases men, to find the perfect foundation for their skin type and color in order to get their skin looking its best, without causing break outs and dry patches.

Cleaning blocked drains the cheap way

Advantages: cheap, environmentally friendly
Disadvantages:

...Before you call out hte plumber try this first. Instead of buying the environmentally unfriendly products of trying to unblock a drain, rather by some bicarbonated soda(250g or so depending on how blocked the drain is) and vinegar. Pour the dry bicarb over the drain hole and then some vinegar over. A chemical reaction will take place and it will fizz away. Leave for a least half hour while the fizz works throught the pipes. This usually unblocks the drain unless there is something big down there!! Repeat if the desired effect is not gained the first time....

COVER ME, I'M GOING IN...

Advantages: My favourite cover versions
Disadvantages: I'm pretty sure most will disagree with a few of these...

...I've been thinking about cover versions a lot recently for some reason. They've never been something I particularly liked before (let's face it, they're just another marketing ploy most of the time to help Westlife and Atomic Kitten to sell records - "Oooh, let's release a lacklustre version of a classic song, we'll make tons of money and since our fans are pre-pubescent teens who don't remember the original, they'll think it is our own work and think we're musical geniuses." Yeah right.) But of late I've heard quite a few that have impressed me - I guess partly because of the Radio One Live Lounge phenonemon. I like the idea of an artist taking a fairly recent hit and making it their own, while still recognisable. ~~~"YOU CAN STAND UNDER MY UMBRELLA"~~~ So what ten cover versions do I like in particular? First up, I'm going to...

KJC Cover Up

Advantages: A few such as nice women and fair deals
Disadvantages: Quality

...It was a usual Friday morning where my bank had just been topped off with a whole load more money, my ‘Payday’. As we all do, I went down town to empty the bank and to fill my wallet ready for a huge ‘Town Shopping Spree’ amongst the many shops I went to, KJC Mobiles caught my eyes. I looked at my phone, looked at KJC and thought that maybe a phone upgrade might be a good idea! So in I go, the first things that covers my eyes are the figure of a very pretty lady at the counter and a massive wall covered with mobile phone covers. I looked at the other side of the shop and saw the small variety of phones in store. Thinking about my trusty Nokia 3330, I decided that just a little attitude will be good enough for my phone, so I went back to the covers. As I walked over to the covers a man approached me...
