Theatre gift packages – the ultimate present
My sister has a birthday coming up, and I have been searching high and low for the ultimate present. She has had a difficult year, having lost her job a few months ago, so I wanted to give her something that will take her mind off the stress that she is currently enduring.
I found the perfect solution when I looked into theatre gift packages. She has always loved the West End, so the voucher I gave her was very well received. It enables her and her husband, who’s also keen on the theatre, to see a top show and to stay at a London hotel overnight.

For flats to rent Prestwick is perfect
I have always loved living on the west coast of Scotland, ever since I moved to the region in 1992. From that fateful day on, I have never wanted to leave. To be honest, even when I go on holiday I can’t wait to get back home again. I will be moving soon, however, but only to a place just down the road.
When I was looking for flats to rent Prestwick was just perfect. I’ve always been a keen golfer, and the apartment I chose is within walking distance of the first tee, so it’s perfect for me.

Scottish Country Clothing I Like
There are many things in life that I like; snowboarding, documentaries and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream for example. These are things I indulge in at every opportunity, and in excess if I can get away with it!
Following a recent trip to Fort William, close to the West coast of Scotland, I found something else I like, Scottish country clothing.
Being a skiing destination, Fort William was laden with specialist clothing shops mostly selling skis, hiking gear and climbing equipment. There are however plenty of other shops that sell all manner of things. I’ll be going back again to buy some more country clothing I think!

Sport fan searching for Property to Rent in Glasgow
Celtic, Rangers, Queen’s Park or Partick Thistle – if I find property to rent in Glasgow, which mob should I choose to support?
Obviously the Glasgow giants need no introduction. Supporting them would surely bring cup finals to attend, silverware to celebrate and few losses to get depressed about.
However, where’s the fun in expecting to win every week? That leaves me with Patrick or Queen’s, although I should mention that there are a fair few clubs, like St Mirren or Dumbarton, nearby.
Choosing between the final two is pretty easy to be honest. Queen’s are fairly terrible and play their games at soulless Hampden (although it’s great when at full capacity for a Scotland game) whereas Partick have the makings of a good team and have a proper relic of a ground.
C’mon you Jags!
Play bingo cards online
It may not be a particularly physically (although some of the old dears to take it a bit competitively) but bingo is an enjoyable distraction from high-energy sports.
I’ve been down to the hall a few times, but I much prefer the relaxed atmosphere of playing bingo cards online in the comfort of my own home.
It’s proved to be quite addictive, I’ve had a few wins and it’s an enjoyable way to while away a few hours.
So while it may not replace football, tennis, golf or badminton in my eyes, there is no doubt that a wee game of bingo once in while can be good fun.

Finding Flats to Lease in Aberdeen
A change in circumstances has led to me looking for flats to lease in Aberdeen – something that, overall, I’m very happy about.
I went to university in the Granite City and have frequently thought about returning to the North of Scotland.
While the move is predominately due to work, it also means I’ll be able to reignite my passion for Aberdeen FC.
They aren’t having the best of seasons, but I hope the board will stick with Mark McGhee and allow him to build a squad as he sees fit.
He needs to be backed though and the club would certainly benefit from some fresh investment.

Fund a trip with a 0% credit card
In the coming weeks I’ll be heading over to Berlin for a footballing extravaganza, all funded by my new 0% credit card.
Myself and seven others are heading over for what should be an enjoyable break. Berlin certainly has plenty to offer visitors but for our group of football fans there is one big event that stands above all others – the Hertha Berlin v Bayern Munich match.
Despite the fact that the game’s a sell out, we’ve managed to get tickets online. For all the tickets to be gone is quite incredible when you remember that Hertha’s Olympic Stadium is a arena capable of holding 75,000 fans.

Using Gatwick Meet & Greet Ahead of Sporting Stag
It is my good friend’s wedding later this summer and to mark the occasion we’re going on a stag weekend to Berlin at the start of May.
It is sure to a good affair although whether I’ll remember it all I wouldn’t like to say.
To make the hassle of the airport just a bit easier, I’ve booked the services of a Gatwick meet & greet parking company. Using these boys makes the whole trip a more enjoyable experience and make the trip home far less time consuming.
The plans include a trip to the Olympic Stadium to watch Hertha Berlin take on Bayern Munich – this inparticular is something I’m very much looking forward too.
