A Holiday At Home

If the new eating out is eating in, then the new going on holiday is staying in your own country. If you holiday within the UK, you save immediately on having to pay for flights, ferry tickets or car hire. You can pack up your own car and head off wherever takes your fancy.

Of course it?s best to have a plan ? whether you?ve decided to head to one destination and spend the whole time there or whether you?ve decided to make your holiday a bit of a road trip and visit several different destinations along the way.

One of the best ways to enjoy a family holiday in the UK is to go camping. There are so many places of breathtaking beauty in the British Isles, you?ll be spoilt for choice as to where to go.

It?s impossible to say where?s best to go, but here are just a few examples.

If you really want to get away from it all, head for the Cnip crofting community campsite on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. Although the facilities are basic, they are well maintained and you?ll be able to enjoy peace and tranquillity camping on the beach.

In Wales, you can camp just behind a wide surfing beach at Rhossili Bay. Hillend campsite has two fields reserved for families and two fields for surfers and other campers. There are outdoor showers and a new facilities block there.

Away from the coast, the Lake District is also a camping paradise. There are sites galore to choose from in the region, but if you?re going during the school summer holidays, it?s best to book a pitch before you go ? places get taken up fast and you don?t want to arrive to find everywhere is fully booked.

What to take

If you?ve been camping before, you probably will have lots of equipment that you can use again. Camping accessories tend to be built to last a few years at least, especially if you buy the middle of the range items rather than the bargain basement ones.

Of course you?ll need sleeping bags and a good quality tent. If you?re taking the kids, then a family tent often works well, as you have a communal area to share as well as separate sleeping compartments.

'Poop pants' boil up trouble on 'Survivor'

Robert Voets/CBS

Alas, Jonas Otsuji was a good cook but not a "Survivor."

By Drusilla Moorhouse, E! Online

Despicable Colton is out of "Survivor: One World," but his former tribemates are still stirring up the nasty.

Even as Tarzan's "poop pants" were boiling in the camp kettle (he insisted the stains were dirt, but we're not buying it, and we are traumatized!), the newly merged Tikiano was targeting their best (and only) cook for a torch snuffing.

Did they really send Jonas to hell's kitchen? And how exactly does someone gross out their tribemates so thoroughly (again, "poop pants!") and not go home?

Boo-Hoo: Colton Cumbie reveals he did not have appendicitis, and his master (evil?) plan!

Alas, sushi chef Jonas Otsuji was told to pack his knives and go.

Although he was Tikiano's ("Year of the God") sole provider in the kitchen -- and so gosh-darn likable -- Salani's "Greek gods" identified him as the strongest player of Manono 2.0 (top dog of the underdogs).

Even though Jonas staged a last-minute plea to send home Michael, everyone but his three-time tribemate Leif wrote down his name.

What Hath Colton Wrought? The "single dumbest move ever in this game" ... and the biggest bigot

Divided in two temporary tribes for pizza-party reward challenge, the orange team's Alicia, Jay, Sabrina, Chelsea, Christina and Troyzan spanked the opposition. The blue team's brain trust inexplicably designated little person Leif as the first person to dig tunnel under a log -- "like a turtle birthing out of the sand," said Jeff Probst. Everyone had to follow to complete the obstacle course, and Tarzan stopped to argue with Jeff during the puzzle portion.

The reward also included a secret reveal: Although Colton left the game with his "souvenir" Immunity Idol, another one was hidden at camp. The next day, early bird Troyzan got his worm, finding the Hidden Immunity Idol while everyone was sleeping.

Just hours later, he won the first individual immunity challenge, besting even the tribes' actor/waiters by balancing balls on a tray the longest.

Troyzan was also sitting pretty as part of the Salani 2.0 alliance, who, at Kim's direction, agreed to vote out Jonas first. Publicly she argued that he was the underdogs' top dog, but Jay, Michael and Troyzan didn't realize she intended to keep Christina and Alicia around in case they decided to reform a women's alliance in the future.

Tarzan brought the most dramz tonight, spatting with Jonas and then crying when he mistook his targeted tribemate's scrambling for a genuine apology. And then...

MORE: Sneak another peek at Phillip's pink panties, for old times' sake!

You thought nothing could be worse than Phillip Sheppard's pink panties ? How about Tarzan's own bikini briefs -- with skid marks! "This is not poop, it's dirt!" he insisted before tossing his soiled undergarments in the boiling water Chelsea was saving for her own pretreated, sand-scrubbed clothes. Even as the horrified laundress scurried away to "go puke," the plastic surgeon persisted: "If it's boiling water you don't have to worry even if it's poop pants." Obviously the "captain" of his O.R. knows his way around a poop deck.

Cap'n Crunchy Pants wasn't so easygoing at Tribal Council, reigniting his feud with Jonas when he "disrespected" Mike by suggesting that the tribe vote out their strongest member. On his way out, Jonas tried to mend feces fences with the chest thumper, saying, "No hard feelings," but Tarzan gave him the version of a Coach hug-off by retorting "Hard feelings to you!"

Not everyone's a "survivor": "The Walking Dead's" OMG moments!

The camp cook had the last word, wishing his tribe "good luck with that food situation." Or, as they would say on Seinfeld: No soup sushi for you!

How Bean Bag Furniture Has Improved | My Home Improvement Tips

?

Over the last year or two, several fashion items that had been utilised inside the 60?s and 70?s have made a return. And even some of the music also. Home furnishings nonetheless have become much more streamlined and modern, but one particular item is making a comeback and that is bean bags

?

These were extremely popular back in the 70?s but only came in a small variety of colours and shapes, usually a sack, teardrop, cylinder as well as armchair. They provided a fun and comfy location to sit down and grew to become part of any living room, or kid?s bed room. Nevertheless interest in these lessened.

?

During the late 90?s these experienced a re-vamp. Manufacturers began creating different shapes, and making them much more functional. This meant making them larger to be utilised as settees, or for children to make use of when playing on their computers, some had been smaller so that little children could enjoy them also, and with their favorite character on them. Giant bean bag had been excellent for teens, whenever pals came over to lodge, this made it possible for them to have extra seating within their room and a place for the other individual to sleep. They even made family pet bean bags too, so no-one was left out.

?

With the change in style and designs there were also the change in what they were filled up with. When they had been first made they contained dried beans, foam or PVC pellets, however some of these fillings had been found to be a danger to small children. Several people furthermore thought the actual style of the bean bag itself was a hazard, because it could result in suffocation. It has resulted in many of the changing shapes we view nowadays.

?

Of course over the years there has also been the importance of saving our natural environment, so nowadays the beanbags are typically made out of Styrofoam beans; a few have polyurethane foam, that?s been shredded because it is believed to supply far more comfort.

?

Beanbags may come in a assortment of colours and covers; some have plastic covering, which could be excellent for nursery?s and children centers. They?re easily washed down using a cloth and soapy water. Some are all set made into shapes to appeal to children, for instance animals. The base can have a material and patterned feel to it, whilst the arms and head can possess a different material. For the more luxurious some are made out of suede or even leather.

?

Bean bag furnishings could add style as well as extra seating to any house, and they?re also extremely comfortable too. They?re able to be placed inside a large area to add much more depth, or simply stored away and bought out when necessary. For the kid?s they are able to actually have smaller bean bags that are light weight and very easy to carry around. You may not wish to have their beanbags within the living room all the time, however for the random occasion they can bring them in from their bedroom. Or they could actually take them when you go to visit a relative?s home or even on a vacation.

The Afterburn Effect Applied To Personal Finance | Money Beagle

One of my favorite episodes of Seinfeld involves a plot where George puts in a furious workout which leaves him still sweating after he gets back to the office.? This leads to him being accused of stealing from his employer, as they figured he was sweating from being nervous.

In reality, this type of sweating is actually a good thing when it comes after working out.? It?s known as the afterburn effect, and basically says that after a rigorous workout, your body will still burn extra calories for several hours following a workout in addition to the calories expended during the workout itself.

I?ve actually applied this to my workouts, trying to work out harder for a slightly shorter amount of time versus a moderate workout.? After the moderate workout, your body basically wraps up, whereas after the rigorous workout, additional calories will continue to be burned.? So, even though the calorie meter might read the same, the net calories could be wildly different based on the type of workout you do.

Did you know that the afterburn effect can apply to personal finances?

I think that it can!

Let?s look at an extra mortgage payment.? If you take part of your tax return and make a 13th payment on your mortgage, you?ll see an immediate decrease in your balance, which is the equivalent of the calories burned during a workout, but the afterburn kicks in when you look at the interest payments moving forward.

Let?s look at a hypothetical mortgage for six months.

Without an extra payment, the portion applied to interest might look like:

Month 1 ? $500
Month 2 ? $498
Month 3 ? $496
Month 4 ? $494
Month 5 ? $492
Month 6 ? $490

This would total $2,970 in interest over the six months following the extra payment.

With an extra payment, it would probably look something like this:

Month 1 ? $497
Month 2 ? $495
Month 3 ? $493
Month 4 ? $491
Month 5 ? $489
Month 6 ? $487

This brings your total to $2,952 over the next six months.

That?s an $18 ?savings? over the six months.? That isn?t money in your pocket, because your payments will stay the same, but it will grow your principle balance (and thus your net worth) by that amount.

Now, you can say, ?But, Money Beagle, what?s the difference? It?s only $18?

This is true, but I have two things in reply to that:

1. The net effect is greater than $18.? I only showed the first six months, but in reality, an extra payment will affect every mortgage payment for the rest of the length of the loan.? This could really work out to an extra couple hundred bucks.
2. On top of that, the effect adds up quickly.? What if you made a second extra payment split up through the year?? Suddenly you?re looking at $36 over the next few months and probably could be $1,000 savings over the life of the loan.

Bottom line, pennies can add up to dollars which can add up to lots of dollars.

It?s not just debt.? Add an extra 1% to your retirement 401(k) contribution.? $20 per paycheck might not seem like a lot, but that?s $500 a year which can be worth $10-20k in a few years, and could add a couple of hundred thousand dollars or more to your retirement balance when you finally decide to call it quits.

Plus, it ties back to the workout analogy.? You?re not going to lose 10 pounds with one intense workout, but if you put in an intense workout three days a week for a few months, you?ll see those ten pounds work out.? Same goes with extra payments, the effects seem minimal with each individual ?financial workout? but the effects can and will add up if you apply this principle regularly.

And, I believe this can tie back to the afterburn effect?

Do you or have you exercised to the point where the afterburn effect was noticeable?? What other applications in the personal finance world can you apply this principle to?
