the world wide web has become such a dependable place for doing just about anything. one of the best things to be done in it is shopping. i can say that my life has never been easier because of it. i mean, i can do what i love in the comforts of my own home. i love amazon.com it's a treasure trove for just about anything. you name it, they've got it. i used to mainly just buy books on this website but now, anything from toys to kitchen items, i now get there. for clothes and shoes, littlewoods.comasos.com and kurtgeiger.com are my "go to" websites. they deliver goods in no time. with littlewoods, shipping and returns are free of charge so i order what i want in two sizes, fit them in my own time at home and what i don't like, they pick up from my address free of charge. i have also done my share of online shopping from john lewis, next, marks and spencer, cath kidston and of course, ebay. i also rent my dvd's online from lovefilm.com. i am on a lower tariff which is £5.99 for 3 dvd's a month. they also have higher tariffs with as much as 2-3 dvd's at a time in your possession up to unlimited number of dvd's a  month. but 3 a month suits me as i don't have much time to spare. the nice thing is they send the dvd through post. you can keep it with you as long as you want and then send it back to them using the pre paid envelope. it's so handy.

lately, my weekly food shopping has become really time consuming with a toddler in tow. so i have been doing my food shopping online as well. i started using asda.com but has since moved to tesco.com .it saves me so much time. it saves us two to three hours on the weekend. instead of trolling around the supermarket,  we can spend it doing something in the house or just being around ava while waiting for the groceries to be delivered.

the internet can be a boon or a bane, depending on how you use it. definitely for me, it's a boon,
