Depression After a BreakUpBy Jeremiah Comendador

Breaking up is not an easy
thing to go through
especially if you're on the
receiving end (getting
broken up with). It's natural
to feel depressed, I mean, it
would be a little weird if you
weren't after a breakup. In
this article I'm going to
discuss an obvious reason
why people are depressed
after a relationship ends and
some ways we can cope with
the depression.
Ask yourself: "Why am I
depressed?" If you haven't
answered that question
already it's mainly because
you just miss having your ex
around. You want to hold on
to those good memories and
stay together. You secretly
or not-so-secretly didn't
want the break-up to occur
at all. Don't get me wrong
though, I'm not trying to tell
you how YOU feel because
only YOU know that. I'm
trying to give you a common
reason we are depressed
after a break up. Who knows,
I may be right. You may feel
even worse if the problem
(that caused you to
breakup) could have been
solved easily. The only thing
stopping you from reading
on are these sentences
before the tips!
Don't feel guilty - nothing is
entirely your fault and if you
believe it can be fixed then
it can. If you end up getting
your ex back remember the
problems you thought about
over the breakup and work
together to fix them. Most
relationships can end this
way so don't be too hard on
yourself.
Date again - A lot of people
say this is the best way to
get over the depression of a
breakup. This is true unless
you still are attached to
your ex. This can help but
the most effective way to
cope is to simply...
Get your ex back - This is
by-far the best thing to do,
not only for yourself but for
your ex too. You can mostly
admit the breakup was a bit
over the top and I bet you're
more than willing to try
again. Remember you're
going back into the
relationship not to start the
breakup cycle again but to
fix the great relationship you
had. Change some
personality traits, eliminate
problems and you'll truly be
happy.
Breakups can put you in a
lot of emotional stress. This
can affect other aspects of
your life such as: your
school or your job. It's
better to solve the
problems as you see it,
don't ignore this one
because it's the most
important. I wish you the
best of luck in your future
and a long healthy
relationship.
If you want SIMPLE, easy,
proven methods they're
available in audio and visual
format here. Please visit:

7 Top Tips On How ToSave MoneyBy Roy J Derrick

Almost everyone is
struggling to cope financially
during this current
recession. Prices on
everything are increasing
and wages are not being
increased to help us cope
during this economic
squeeze.
In view of this, is there
anything that we ourselves
can do to award ourselves a
pay rise?
The answer is yes there are
things that we can do to
help create extra funds to
pay our household bills. All
we need to do is to examine
what we spend on a daily/
weekly business and see
whether there are any
things that we can eliminate
or reduce on to create the
extra funds. Below are some
tips on some ways that we
can reduce on costs.
1. Laundry/washing up
Do you really need to use
the dishwasher everyday
especially if there is not a
full load? Given that the
average dishwasher uses 2
units of electricity an hour
many units a month could be
saved by washing by hand.
The same applies to the
costly tumble drier. This
appliance uses on average 4
units of electricity per hour.
It is therefore better to dry
the washing outdoors. It is
also more cost effective to
ensure that you wait until
you have a full load before
washing clothes in the
washing machine. Just
implementing these few
simple changes can reduce
your electricity bills and
save the pennies for other
things.
2. Switch off appliances.
Don't leave them on standby
This is an easy way of
cutting down on the
electricity that you use.
Leaving appliances on
standby uses lots of
unnecessary electricity.
Be sure to also switch off
any lights not being used
and again you will gain some
extra pennies off your
electricity bills.
3. Change to Direct Debit and
online billing
Most companies now offer
large discounts for
customers who pay both by
direct debit and online. Any
savings made by them for
billing in this way are passed
on to you the customer via
cheaper tariffs so why not
take advantage of such an
easy saving?
4. Cut down on unwanted
items
Do you really need to buy a
newspaper everyday
especially as current news
is easily available via the
internet or on television? Do
you also read the magazines
that tempt you via appealing
headlines on the covers?
The best way to avoid
buying such items is to
steer clear of the counters
where they are displayed.
The same applies to the
tempting snack counters
that sell sandwiches and
snacks. Making your own
lunch is not only cheaper
but also a healthier option.
Do you take your children to
soft play? This can be an
expensive experience
especially if you also have
food and drinks there. Why
not take it in turns with
friends to call to each
other's houses instead and
create some fun at home by
using your own toys and
maybe introducing a craft
table complete with things to
make to keep them
occupied. You could also
make up your own packed
lunches to make it more fun.
It is also surprising how
much money could be saved
by stopping eating out or
having takeaways. Instead
why not try making your own
curries or even buying a
ready made supermarket
curry. This option will be a
lot cheaper and can still be
fun.
4. Change your brand
Experiment by dropping a
brand level on everything
that you buy. Instead of
buying specific branded
products try a supermarket
own brand. They often taste
the same but are cheaper.
The same applies to buying
value or basic supermarket
brands as opposed to the
premium ones. Often these
measures alone can cut
your bill by a third. It's
certainly worth a try.
5. Use your accelerator less
With the ever increasing
cost of petrol and diesel it is
important for us to get the
most for our money. By
merely keeping the revs
less by not accelerating so
hard it is possible to lower
our petrol costs by at least
20%.
6. Get the best deal from
Insurance companies and
energy suppliers
Do not automatically renew
your household or car
insurances. Make sure that
you use the various
comparison websites that
can get you the cheapest
deals available. The same
applies to your energy bills.
7. Check your tax code
When you get your tax
notice make sure that your
tax code is correct. At least
5 million people in the U.k
have been overpaying as
they were on the wrong
code. Make sure that you
are not one of them!
All in all when you closely
examine your finances it can
be surprising how much
extra cash can be raised by
cutting down on basic items.
So go on, take control and
reward yourself your own
pay rise by just looking at
and cutting down on what
you spend.
You could even invest a
little of the money raised to
create additional income for
yourself by starting your
own business. There are
many business opportunities
that can be started up on a
very small budget which
would also include a step by
step educational pack to
help you get started.
So here's to your success
as you start saving money.
My name is Roy Derrick and I
live in South Wales with my
wife and four children. I
began my working career as
a gas engineer but soon
realised that I wanted to
start my own business and
reap any rewards for myself.
I opened three retail shops
and a food manufacturing
company and won several
national awards for best
retailer including an all
expenses trip to New York
paid for by Richard Branson.
This whet my appetite to
want to become an
entrepreneur.
I sold my retail outlets in
2002 and started up my own
construction and
development company which
has established itself into a
successful business. As well
as running the construction
business I also run a
successful internet
marketing company and also

succeed in business.
When I'm not working I enjoy
socialising with friends and
family and adrenaline filled
activities like paint balling

Five Ways to Make MoneyBy Joseph L Andrews

Making money can
sometimes be a tricky
business. As well as our
everyday incomes some
people are tapping into other
sources to make some
extra money. You don't have
to be an expert at share
trading or understand the
ins and outs of the big
banks to make yourself an
added income.
Garage sales and eBay
Everyone has things lying
around at home that aren't
being used any more. Sports
equipment that was bought
with good intentions of losing
excess weight, the tools for
that DIY project or toys that
your children have outgrown.
Have a good look through
your house and you will find
clothes you haven't worn in
years that are perfectly
good still, crockery and
appliances that are just
taking up space and even
furniture that is just in the
way. Hold a garage sale or
pack your car up and attend
a car boot sale. Advertise
your garage sale in the local
paper for a couple of weeks
beforehand and put up some
signs on the day of your
sale. eBay is another good
way to get rid of unwanted
and unused items. You do
pay a fee for each item
listed but it is easy to sell
things and you can market
your goods to a much wider
audience than you can if you
hold a garage sale.
Rent out the spare room
If you have a spare room at
home and are willing to
share you home why not
take in a boarder. You can
make up to about $300 tax
free in rent per week.
Contact the local high
school as sometimes they
have international students
studying for a year at their
school and these students
need somewhere to live. You
will be paid rent for looking
after these students. You
will need to undergo a police
check but this is simple
enough.
Stock market
If you are up with the stock
market you could invest
your time and money into
share trading. This is
something that you can do
in the evenings if you work
during the day. You can
make a lot of money playing
the stock market but you
also can lose it pretty
quickly too, so make sure
you get good advice.
Home based business
If you are at home looking
after children, or have a bit
of spare time, you might
want to start up a home
based business. This can
vary between starting a
party plan business, which
there are plenty out there
to choose from, or if you
have a specific skill this
might make a great home
based business, such as
having an at home hair
dressing salon, working as a
make up artist or beauty
therapist, or you can buy
into a franchise, like a lawn
mowing service.
Invest in property
If you have the ability, and
are able to borrow more
money from the bank, you
can invest your money in
property. Buying a house or
land is a solid investment
and you can receive a
significant return on your
money. This is a long term
investment and not
something that you rush
into.
By the way, do you want to
learn more about finance? If
so, I suggest you check
Managed Funds and Share
Trading.

Worrying About YourNewborn Baby by: Jill Cohen

It is definitely normal for any
parent to worry when they
bring a new baby home. You
may not have confidence in
your skills yet and be
nervous about any cough,
red spots or irregularities.
One common issue among
new parents is the nappy
rash that seems to affect
many babies. Though it is
not such a major issue, it
can be if not addressed
properly. Staying on top of
keeping baby dry will take
care of many problems
including the skin irritations
that are frequent in young
children.
Worry is a way that parents
look out for and see to the
needs of their children.
However, constant concern
over small issues will not
make things better. If you
see an issue or note
something out of the
ordinary with your newborn,
address it without panic or
call your pediatrician. You
can make yourself very
nervous if you go
on the internet and read
about sudden infant death
syndrome, croup and other
situations. Any respiratory
problem should be looked at
by a physician and
monitored but keep in mind
that getting a cold or cough
is very common.
New parents, especially,
tend to worry over every
whimper or cry, blemish or
scratch, but usually it is
nothing but normal
responses or reactions.
Take care of baby, but don't
stress yourself out. Most
parenting books have a
balance approach in helping
someone know the signs of
when to seek medical
attention. Your confidence
will increase with time and
experience. Remember, that
children can pick up fear
and you want to help your
child feel secure and
comfortable. If your child
does have a rash or any
illness, use laughter and
play to help them relax. The
immune system is effected
by our environment and
emotions. As a parent your
own judgement and
decision making process is
also improved by relaxation
and staying calm. It is easy
to make impulsive decisions
when we are very nervous.
Turning to another adult in
the family by phone can be
a help when you feel that
you are too clouded by your
emotions. You'll be able to
get another perspective on
your child's condition and
this can help you get your
balance back.

Ms. Susan Boyle: AnInspiring Story by: Amy twain

By the time you read this,
you probably heard of the
inspiring life story of Susan
Boyle. A 47-year old,
unemployed, never been
married (and never been
kissed) woman from
Scotland who elicited lots of
praises and compliments not
just from the three judges,
but also from millions of
people across the universe,
thanks to Youtube.
Her inspiring story spread
rapidly like wildfire and
inspires others (especially
underdogs and dark horses
like her) to reach for your
dreams no matter what. The
Britain’s Got Talent
contestant (by far the most
popular these days),
delivered a strong
performance backed up with
an even appropriate and
inspirational song,“I
Dreamed a Dream” from Les
Miserables. I like watching
that show, in the sense that
Britain’s Got Talent is indeed
about talent. It’s about
talent through and through,
despite your looks, and your
age. And what I even like
most about the inspiring
story of Ms. Susan Boyle is
that it’s as if she’s the
epitome of dreaming and
believing in your dreams—
and not putting an age limit
to your dreams and goals.
What makes this inspiring
story so appealing to the
masses, is the fact that we
have a not-so-young
dreamer dreaming to be a
professional singer (wants
to be as successful as
Elaine Page at that!), when
generally, dreaming is
associated for the young
and their promising future.
But here, we have Susan
Boyle to change the face of
dreaming big and giving us
her inspiring story.
Truly, she’s not just a living
example, but also a living
inspiration as well! I know of
other singing competitions
that imposed age limits on
their contestants. It’s good
that Britain’s Got Talent
never limits their
contestants for a certain
age bracket only. Why this
allure about second
chances and underdogs and
dark horses? And why not—it
just goes to show that all of
us, at some moments in our
lives, can relate to being
underdogs, since we
experienced what it feels
like being an underdog
ourselves.
We want to inspired and
strengthened after failure,
rejection, and frustration. An
inspiring story like Susan
Boyle’s is just one strong
validation and we felt
justified that we can be like
her. She’s also a real person
(and not just any fictitious
character) and she’s like
one of us, living an ordinary
life but who wants to have a
better life.
So, how who can resist this
inspiring story? As we live
our day to day struggle in
our lives, we all need some
bits of inspiration to make
us smile, enlightened,
hopeful and optimistic for
our future. And we don’t
need pretty faces, toned
muscles, almost-perfect hair
that light up our TV screens
to make us inspired.
On the contrary, it’s those
flawed, ordinary-looking
individuals which we can
relate to that make us more
humane and we can say,“If
she can do it, I can too.” And
I love that smiling aura of
Ms. Boyle devoid of any
arrogance or self-pity
(unemployed, but still
looking) when asked what
she’s going to do onstage.
She said, “I’m gonna wow the
audience”. And boy, she did
more than just that—she
even received a standing
ovation not just from the
crowd, but also from the two
judges. Everybody’s got an
inspiring story---what’s
yours?

Baby Clothing You ShouldGet For The Baby by: Joseph Nedrich

Congrats, you are going to
have a baby! You will need
lots of things for the baby.
And now let the checklist
making start. You want to
make a couple of lists, one
will be necessities that you
will wish to get, along with a
second list for objects that
will go on your registry for
the baby shower gifts you
would really like to receive.
Do not feel guilty about the
second list. Friends and
relatives want to celebrate
the upcoming birth of your
baby, and most wish to help
you prepare by giving you
baby gifts. Assist them by
letting them know what you
really require and want. So
let’s go over the things that
ought to be in your
necessities list.
Clothing is the first thing for
the‘must have’ checklist.
And honestly who can resist
all of those sweet little
outfits, but remember that
babies develop quickly so
don’t buy a lot of those -3
month size, and baby
clothes shouldn’t be tight
fitting. Also resist the urge
to purchase a lot of those
little socks and booties,
they're adorable, however
the child won't be in them
long.
So what should you
purchase? Let’s begin with
the basics; each and every
child needs onsies and
bodysuits. Because this
really is an everyday item
you want to have 7- 12 on
hand. The reason I
recommend so many is that
infants do get messy, so
you may need a couple of
every single day. Secondly
those first couple of weeks
at home with baby can be
extremely hectic and you
might not get a chance to
do the laundry as often as
you would like.
You need clothes for child
that makes your life easier
and gowns do just that.
Gowns are wonderful for
nighttime. Those overnight
feedings and diaper changes
could be a bit groggy and
gowns will assist with those
diaper changes. Gowns
supply easy access and a
great deal less fumbling. You
will want seven of these on
hand. Infants grow out of
gowns quickly so you want
to possess sleepers are on
hand. Simply because you
will find so several fairly
sleepers available these
days many moms have
infants in sleepers all day
long. With this in mind you will
want to have a dozen of
those on hand.
You see many things come
and go when it comes to
what is used for infants, but
some thing never change
and baby bibs are one of
those things. Some days it'll
appear much more is coming
out of baby’s mouth than is
heading in. Bibs help to
maintain your baby clean.
You want a least a dozen of
baby bibs on hand and this
really is 1 thing you should
not worry about having too
many of, you will be amazed
how many bibs you'll use
throughout the course of a
week. One more thing to
include on your must have
checklist is those adorable
newborn hats. These hats
will help baby keep warm,
and they look so cute.
There are many other things
that you will want to
purchase, but the above will
get you started. You will
purchase and obtain many
adorable outfits for the new
child, the best advice I can
give you would be to wear
them on your child. Several
new moms save outfits for
special occasions, only to
have baby grow out of them
before they had been ever
worn. There will be a time
soon enough when your little
1 will be vocal about what
they want to put on, so take
the time now to dress them
how you please.

Tips for Saving MoneyEvery Day by: Trent B.

Many people aren't aware of
all the ways money slips
through their fingers, and
they're not sure why they
never seem to have enough.
Paying attention to your
spending habits and making
some changes where
necessary can save you a
bundle of money every
month. With the tips in this
article you will be able to get
your finances in order and
save money too.
The amount of money you
can save by making your
own lunches and taking
them to work each day is
staggering. When you take in
your own lunches every
day--made from leftovers or
sandwich fixings, you will be
spending much less than
you would at even the least
expensive restaurants and
diners. Healthy eating is
easier as well when you
make your own lunches
since most take out has
extra calories and lots of
fat and salt. Eating out also
takes up a lot of time which
can be a problem for those
with tight schedules. Making
lunch for yourself is an easy
way to save money, and
over the weeks and months
this can turn into quite a few
dollars.
Learn to shop methodically
and not on a whim. The
absolute worst time to buy
holiday gifts, for example, is
just before the holidays. You
should wait for the holidays
to be over when you wait for
things to go on sale.
It's a lot less stressful to
shop like this because you'll
avoid all of the crowds and
that feeling that you have
to buy something right away.
Similarly, winter and summer
clothing is most expensive
right before those seasons
have started. Plan ahead
and buy things both as gifts
and for yourself when they
are the cheapest. Stores
typically charge more for
products when everybody
wants to buy them so if you
do some advance planning,
you'll get the same items for
much less.
The price of food is always
going up, even faster than
most peoples' incomes. If
you want to respect your
budget, you need to figure
out how to save money at
the store.
Most of the time people
shop for groceries when
they need the and that
means that they end up
paying money depending on
what the store wants to
charge. Buying lots of
groceries when they go on
sale is a great way to save
money at the store. You
obviously can't do this with
items that perish like dairy,
meat and fresh produce but
you can do it with everything
else like canned goods,
frozen foods, etc. Look for
clearance sales and similar
specials to help you stock
your pantry and you will
quickly see that you are
spending much less on
groceries than you used to.
When you start to think
creatively, you will see lots
of ways that you can save
money and your savings will
start to climb. For the most
part, people spend a lot
more than they absolutely
have to on things like food,
entertainment and shopping
because they don't take the
time to search out more
reasonably priced
alternatives. In addition to
helping you save money, the
tips in this article will help
you train your brain to be
more frugal as well.
A targeted list of consumers
that like Saving Money can
be worth their weight in gold.
