The new year is a good time to consider relocating

With the new year comes an opportunity for fresh starts and new beginnings, and in our previous post we showed you lots of ways you can dust off those cobwebs and kick start a brand new you.

However some of us may be considering a bigger life change than simply losing a few pounds or getting a new hairstyle. Maybe you’re thinking about a complete change of scene, and upping sticks and moving homes. Well, the new year is the perfect time to think about relocating as more people put their homes on the market once the chaos of Christmas is out of the way.

Here at VivaStreet we have a wealth of properties for sale and for rent, from tiny pied-a-terres and studios to this luxury five-bedroom house. Perhaps you have had enough of city life and have always dreamt of living near the sea. We’re happy to report that you could go and make that dream a reality with this lovely 1930′s property in Devon, complete with panoramic sea views. Or for those who prefer a more tranquil water location, then take a look at this gorgeous house which has its own canalside private mooring. Heaven!

For the more ambitious, we also have a section specially dedicated to land for sale for those looking to build their own home. If you are in the fortunate position of having a sum of spare cash you’re looking to invest wisely, you could do much worse than considering purchasing land. Take a look at our investment land section where you will see an array of different types of land for sale from building plots on the Scottish borders to cheap land in Bulgaria.

Which leads us smoothly on to the option of relocating abroad. Our overseas property selection is extensive, with properties for sale in Europe and beyond. We list a huge number of homes on the market, from farmhouses in Italy and France, to ski chalets in Austria and villas in Cyprus. This farmhouse in Brittany kills two birds with one stone, as it comes complete with an established cattery business – ideal for those wishing to relocate asap!

So what are you waiting for? You may be saying au revoir to cold Blighty before you know it!

Let VivaStreet help you write this year's New Year's Resolutions

It’s that time of year again when it’s out with the old, in with the new. The start of a new year is the perfect excuse for a spring clean in all areas of our lives. For most of us it’s time to make some changes as we resolve to get healthy, tone up that ever expanding waistline, and sort our lives out. So whatever your New Year’s resolutions are – and even if you haven’t decided what they are yet – VivaStreet is here to help you firm up your very own realistic and achievable goals for 2010.

One of the first things we all think about doing after making a pig of ourselves over the festive season, is to shed those extra pounds. Here at VivaStreet we have all manner of ideas of how you can get in shape. Perhaps you’re thinking about getting your diet in check by joining WeightWatchers. You can find your local group which meets in your area right here on VivaStreet. But the food is of course only one aspect. We need to get our backsides off the sofa too! Whether you’re into circuit training, boxing, or maybe getting yourself your own personal trainer, you’ll be tightening up that belt buckle or dropping a dress size in no time. And how about (perhaps for the more uninhibited among us!) belly dancing, or even pole-dancing! There are all sorts of ways you can get yourself looking trim.

Another thing many of us want to do with the coming of a new year is to ditch the cigarettes. Well instead of going down the tried (and often failed) route of nicotine patches, why not try hypnotherapy? It has worked for many people wishing to kick the habit once and for all. While you’re at it, you can use these electronic cigarettes to get you through the tough moments en route to quitting.

If you feel like you could do with taking a look at your whole life, then have you ever thought about enlisting a life coach? By having a few sessions with one could really help you identify and unlock any issues you have been having, and give you some tips as to how to improve your life.  But if all that’s a bit much, then you could begin with some self-help books to get you started.  This self-help e-book is a great way to begin exploring for yourself whatever stresses have been getting you down.

And finally, the new year provides the perfect reason to give yourself a kick-start and learn a new skill. How about brushing up on your IT know-how by taking  a computer skills course? Or how about French or Spanish classes? Check out which courses are being run in your local area and you’ll be Parlez-vous-ing francais before you know it, and speaking like a native in time for 2010′s summer holiday!

So however you want to improve your life, just remember that there’s no time like the present, and that you will always miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!

Grab yourself a hat and scarf to stay warm this winter

We’re all feeling the cold here at VivaStreet as the weather has suddenly plummeted and a seriously chilly spell has taken over the country. It even looks like we may be in for a white Christmas!

While we’re all trying to keep warm and avoid coming down with the sniffles, we still want to look stylish in the big freeze. So instead of digging out your holey old winter woollens from the back of the wardrobe, why not take a look at our large selection of winter wear to help get you through this cold snap.

We’ve got everything to help you feel cosy, from cashmere scarves for your extremities to this gorgeous thermal vest for what’s underneath.

You can’t help but feel toasty in one of these gorgeous fleeces, but how about a sheepskin coat? No longer the reserve of dodgy car salesmen from the 1970′s, they can’t fail to keep you warm and they guarantee to make you look stylish at the same time.

Ski gear is the perfect way to make sure you don’t catch cold when the temperature drops, and despite its name it doesn’t have to be reserved for the slopes. Check out this ski jacket, for example, which promises to keep you warm without looking out of place while you’re wandering along the high street.

Meanwhile, let’s not forget our feet! You can’t go wrong with Ugg boots to ensure your tootsies don’t freeze. Even though they’ve been around a few years, they’re still all the rage and look so stylish with jeans, leggings or a skirt. But this year why not check out the latest line in Uggs….. cardy Uggs. A cardigan for your feet = perfect!

But this cold weather isn’t just affecting our own bodies. Don’t forget poor little Fido, who wants to keep warm this winter too! Have a look at these cute little dog coats and make the pooch in your life happy.

Hopefully this cold weather will be gone as quickly as it has arrived. In the meantime, wrap up and stay warm!

This Christmas hamper would make the perfect festive gift

Christmas is about many things; giving and receiving gifts, singing Christmas carols, spending time with the relatives and watching yet another James Bond film being just some of them. Well, there’s one thing the festive season most certainly is about, and that’s eating! Yes, it’s that time of year when most of us have to resort to loosening the belt buckle by a notch or two after some serious over-indulgence.

If you’re the unlucky one lumbered with the task of having to cook for the extended family on Christmas day and you’re dreading the thought, then don’t despair. VivaStreet is Santa’s very own little helper, and can advise on everything from where to buy turkeys, to how to cheat and buy a ready-made Christmas cake! It’s your veritable one-stop Christmas food shop!

We have some gorgeous luxury hampers on offer, which would make the perfect gift and guarantee to keep the family quiet for several days. They contain all the Christmas essentials, from cranberry sauce to Christmas pudding, and come as a fantastic reusable woven wicker basket.

If you need a little bit of guidance on how to rustle up the perfect festive feast, then why not pick up this Gary Rhodes cookbook, which is full of tips on how to impress your guests. Of course you can use it long after the Christmas season has passed.

Admittedly, even with the help of dear old Gary Rhodes, some of us just aren’t as au fait in the kitchen as we would like to be. We don’t know about you, but here at VivaStreet the mere words ‘dinner party’ are enough to get us into a tizz! But yet again, there’s no need to panic. VivaStreet has just the thing. Have you ever thought about what it’s like to hire a chef? This could be the answer to your prayers – let them sweat over the Christmas spread while you sit back and relax with your glass of mulled wine. We love this idea too – cookery class gift vouchers. They make the perfect Christmas present for a loved one who has always dreamed of being able to cook like a pro.

But let’s not forget one of the most important things…the grog! Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without some mulled wine, and Santa will never forgive you if he doesn’t get his annual glass of port or sherry. VivaStreet’s food and wine section has endless ideas for what booze to fill up the cupboards with. This case of wine, for example, will keep the family happy until the supermarkets re-open.

So make the most of the opportunity to over-indulge before you make your New Year’s resolution to lose those extra pounds. Bon appetit!

You don't need to build a huge wind turbine to save energy in your home

The Climate Change Conference is going on in Copenhagen as we speak, where world leaders are gathering together to discuss setting targets for cutting carbon emissions in order for us to clean up our act and save the planet.

There is much that should be done on a national and international level, but there is also a lot that can be done on a smaller scale, and that starts with each and every one of us making changes in our own homes.

As well as small things like turning off lights in empty rooms, using energy saving light bulbs and taking showers instead of baths, did you know that there are ways we can actually CREATE our own energy in order to help the planet?

Probably the most well-known methods of creating energy are wind and solar power. But don’t worry, you don’t need to set up huge wind turbines in your back garden to get started (the neighbours probably wouldn’t be too impressed anyway!) First of all, making your own solar panels is surprisingly easy. You can easily start generating energy in your home by placing some simple solar panels on your roof. Get your hands on this step by step guide to see what we mean.  And did you ever think you would be able to build your own electricity generator? Well, it’s not as difficult as you might think. You can choose between solar or wind power, or both, and can work towards one day ‘unplugging’ your house from your electricity supplier, and generating all of your own energy. And we’re talking renewable energy here, as it’s straight from mother nature herself. Imagine being able to save money AND save the planet at the same time!

But it’s not all about solar or wind power. Did you know that you can also create electricity to power your home by using magnets? We have guides on the site on just how to make your own magnetic power generator, which create free energy and don’t require a resource like wind or solar energy to function.

So if you feel like you’d like to give renewable energy a go, but just want to test it out on a small scale first, then take a look at these solar powered garden lights. They recharge by sunlight during the day and then contain enough energy to switch on at dusk. Impressive stuff!

Clearly there’s no time like the present for each of us to do our bit to fight global warming, and that means starting by saving, and even creating, energy in our own homes. There’s plenty that we can all be doing to cut our fuel consumption, which is not only good news for the planet but also great for our wallets too!

We’re witnessing a new trend within the property market which is impacting on landlords and tenants alike.

The so-called weekday renters, or ‘tempers,’ are those for whom the daily commute to work has become a bit too much of a drag. Perhaps the journey is a little too long or expensive, public transport is too unpredictable, or even long working hours are making the journey home at the end of the day almost pointless. Whatever the reason, property owners across the country are seeing a surge in demand from professionals looking to rent a room from Monday to Friday. Landlords are cottoning on to the idea, and have started to make available weekday rooms for those looking for a place to crash after a long day in the office.

As people choose to hang on to their jobs, at least until the recession is thoroughly behind us, property ‘temping’ is becoming a great option for those who, faced with a significant daily commute, want to spend a little less time staring out of the train window. It’s worth bearing in mind that flatshares have come a long way from the outdated notion of having to pay over the odds for a thin-walled dingy bedsit, and in fact they are increasingly becoming the smart choice for professionals. Luckily here at VivaStreet we have a number of flatshares to suit every budget and location.

As well, why not explore whether your budget stretches to renting a property on a more full-time basis, in case long working hours on a Friday (or even after work drinking!) make the idea of sleeping over close to work a little more appealing, and a lot less tiring.

And finally, for those for whom even a weekly or fortnightly commute is still too much, then don’t forget we have a huge amount of properties for sale if you’re considering upping sticks completely.  It’s clear that whatever your budget, location or working situation, VivaStreet has a range of options to suit your needs, so there’s no need to put up with an exhausting daily commute any longer!

This year we’re all feeling the pinch a little more than normal, and the majority of us are not looking to be uber-extravagant with the Christmas gifts. This is especially the case as we still have to buy presents for the whole family, including brother Ben, sister Emily, Mum and Dad, old Auntie Maude and Spot the dog… So why not let VivaStreet do the hard work for you in suggesting the top ten affordable Christmas presents to get your hands on this year.

1. First of all, we’ve got loads of cheap Nintendo on offer, and it’s the perfect gift to bring the whole family together and have fun. Get your hands on the Wii Fit so all the family can start to work off those one-too-many mince pies!
2. Brother Ben will just love this Canon EOS 35mm camera, complete with accessories including flash, zoom lens and carrying case.
3. This cool go-kart will be perfect for little Harry to show off to his friends, and will provide many years of fun, lasting him until he’s about 12 years old.
4. Why is is that all boys dream of being rock stars? Let cousin Jack indulge his musical fantasies with this fantastic second-hand drum kit…although the neighbours may not be so pleased!
5. How about treating your sister to a piano lesson gift voucher? You know how she has always dreamed of playing along to her favourite tunes. Choose from a range of instrumental and singing teachers and give the gift of a lesson for Christmas.
6. After working hard to cook Christmas lunch for the whole family, Mum definitely deserves some pampering. You’ll be forever in her good books with this cheap spa break.
7. Auntie Maude will just adore this antique tea set, in fine bone china.
8. Dad will love this! Take a look at these personalised gifts, ranging from personalised magazine and newspaper covers, to fantasy images, where, by simply emailing in a photo of your Dad, you can have him transformed into a Medieval knight, a footballing legend, or a Star Trek captain!
9. Perfect for uncle Pete, this “Really Stupid joke book” is  only £3!  If it’s all getting a bit tense being stuck in the same small living room as the entire family, then let Pete break the tension with this collection of silly jokes.
10. And finally not forgetting the pet pooch, Spot, because it’s his Christmas too. He wants to look cool among his doggie chums in the park, so why not treat him to some professional grooming from this mobile dog pampering service.

Happy Christmas shopping!

Perhaps free diving is a step too far, but if you have always yearned to explore the ocean beneath the waves rather than from the comfort of a yacht (because of course all our Vivastreet users have their own yachts!), then how about donning a pair of flippers and trying a little scuba diving? We’ve got some great diving equipment for sale if you have always fancied giving the sport a go. We’ve got diving accessories, such as this diving regulator, and even some rather natty diving clothing, such as this fab ladies’ diving jacket, to help you stay stylish even when those around you are more interested in eating plankton than checking out your aquatic sartorial elegance.

Get the body you want with this new fitness class led by qualified instructors

But what if this extreme sport is a bit too extreme for you? Well, if you want to stay active without having to break the bank to buy expensive equipment, have a look at our fitness training section, where you will find all sorts of opportunities and ideas for how to get fit – and stay fit – for life. No-one is going to mess with you after you’ve taken part in this attitude fitness one day event, for example. And have you ever thought about taking part in a boot camp? It involves little more than a good pair of trainers and a will of steel, and it’s where those in-the-know go to if they want to fight the flab, tone up their muscles and generally look hot-to-trot! You’ll find loads of like-minded individuals and may even make some friends along the way.

For those of you for whom boot camp or fitness training is still a little too strenuous, don’t worry, we still have options for you.  If hitting a small white ball around a park is about as much as you can handle, then why not invest in some golf training to improve your handicap and get to grips with your swing. Judging by the number of pensioners who converge on my local course at the weekend, it’s not what you’d call an extreme sport. But believe me, when you’ve just taken seven to get out of a bunker, the blood will definitely be pumping round the body!

So what are you waiting for? Quit piling on the pounds and get yourself off that sofa! And don’t kid yourself that playing Wii Fit while tucking into a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken is going to get you into the best shape of your life. There’s no time like the present and there’s no excuse for not getting in shape for this year’s Christmas party!

VivaStreet has a wealth of music and singing teachers to help you sing like a superstar

For those of you who don’t know your Jedward from your JLS, well, you must have been hiding under a rock for the past few weeks. X-Factor mania has yet again taken hold of the UK, dividing the nation over which contestant deserves to be knocked out, and which deserves to go through to the next round. For all the talk about the outfits, the hair do’s and have/haven’t they had Botox, the real question people are really asking is this: “Can they actually sing?”

Whatever the answer is, if – like us – all this singing and dancing has left you wishing you could get up on stage and perform, but you feel like you may be lacking some of the necessary coordination, rhythm, vocal expertise, then have no fear, VivaStreet is here to help. You need look no further than VivaStreet’s very own Dance, Music and Acting classes section where you will find a wealth of singing teachers, piano teachers, and in fact all sorts of tutors who can help turn your musical dreams into reality. Whether you need help with your singing ability (or lack of) or have always fancied yourself as a bit of a dancer, we’ve got all sorts of performing arts experts to help you get your footwork sorted and your vocal chords in tune.

Perhaps you have always harboured a desire to sing like Mariah or Frank, or maybe you’re thinking “actually I played a pretty mean fiddle” when I was younger, time to set the screeching cats free……..or maybe what you’re really dreaming of is getting up on stage and auditioning for X-Factor yourself!

So once you’ve got a few tunes under your belt and you’re ready to belt out a medley of show tunes, pop songs or rock classics, then check out the local artists and local musicians section of VivaStreet where you will be able to find some similarly inclined individuals – or rather some “desperate to be famous” individuals – within your area who are ready to perform with you! Who knows, the next Take That may just be a few clicks away! Whatever the results, you’ll certainly be able to impress your colleagues at this year’s karaoke Christmas party.

And after you’ve spent some time investing in your musical interests, if you’re still not convinced you’ve got what it takes to get up and perform, then take the simple option and hire a professional! If you’re putting on an event or party anytime soon, whether it’s a wedding pianist, a tribute band or an Irish dancing group you’re looking for, then here at VivaStreet we have every type of musician for hire just for you in our local artists section.

2. Never send or wire money to sellers or buyers. This includes never mailing a cheque or using payment services like Western Union or Money Gram to pay for items found on Vivastreet.

3. Never send your item before receiving the money.

4.    Beware of the Overpayment Scams and bounced cheques. Be suspicious if you are overpaid for products and a number of credit card numbers are used. The scammer is expecting you to/will transfer the refund; either paying for the freight before then discovering the cheque they sent out to you has bounced or before realising the money order/credit cards details they produced were phoney.

5. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Especially when deal seems too good to be true (price is too low, rent is below market, etc.). Be careful when buying expensive items like mobile phones, laptops, plasma TVs, airline tickets and even tickets for shows/gigs.

6.    Vivastreet does not offer any sort of buyer protection or payment programs. Vivastreet does not act as an intermediary and does not make arrangements for any payments or transactions. If you are contacted by someone who claims to be from Vivastreet and you are asked to transfer money for an item for sale, this will be an illegitimate request and any emails you receive of this type will also be fraudulent. DO NOT follow any of the instructions contained within the email or given over the phone.

7. Never provide your personal or banking information. Do not give out personal, credit card or online account details (e.g. social insurance number, bank account number) over the Internet/email. We advise only buying and selling with people you can meet. Fraudsters don’t meet a person, that’s how they get caught!

8. Please report to us any attempted fraud or suspicious emails or other activity by community members. If you have knowledge of a fake ad, please report by clicking the “Scam” button on the bottom of the ad or sending the Ad ID number to our help desk along with any knowledge you may have of the situation. In case of fraud or illegal activity, we also recommend that you report it to the Police.

White kittens for sale at VivaStreet

What is it with Mariah Carey? She sings like an angel, but turns into a stroppy teenager when she doesn’t get her own way. The queen of divas’ demands are legendary, and woe betide those who stand up to her.  But that’s exactly what happened when MC agreed to turn on the Christmas lights at London’s Westfield shopping centre.

Not content with the 100 white doves cooing around her, the high-maintenance chanteuse, who has been making a series of promotional appearances in the capital, apparently asked for 20 white kittens to surround her as she played the part of fairy godmother, turning on the lights with her magic wand. No small request then!

To be fair, the Westfield shopping centre did their best to accommodate MC’s needs, but when it became clear that finding 20 pure white kittens, was as likely as England scoring a try at Twickers, the health and safety bods stepped in and banned her request. Good old health and safety – they’ve actually gone up in my estimations for standing up to the shrill one!

Now, while we support MC’s love of animals, here at VivaStreet we’re fully aware that animals, including kittens, are for life, and not just for Christmas – or a one-off event, Mariah! So if you’re in the market for a little bundle of fluffy fun, then check out our pets for sale section, where you will find everything from guinea pigs to puppies.

While we may not be able to offer 20 white kittens in one go, we can promise you a menagerie of different feline friends for sale, including these two white kittens, or how about this adorable white female kitten, all looking to go to good homes. And don’t forget, we don’t just offer kittens. We have a number of older cats for sale who, for whatever reason, are all looking to be welcomed into new homes by caring, supportive owners.

So if, like Mariah, white is most definitely your thing, but maybe you’re not so crazy on cats, then we have a everything from white bulldog puppies, to white baby rabbits for sale and even white racing pigeons! Whether you’re a cat or a dog lover, or prefer something a little smaller and fluffier that doesn’t need quite so much exercise or grooming, at VivaStreet we have every type of white, four-legged or -winged friend for you! Just puurrrfect for completing your very own white Christmas!

Go on, live the dream!

They’re in the money!!!! The lucky Brits who scooped the EuroMillions Lottery over the weekend can begin to make their dreams a reality by deciding just how to spend their share of the £90m jackpot. However, while the majority of us may not be in that fortunate position – yet! – here at VivaStreet we can still help you live like a millionaire, if only for a day.

You don’t have to amass a personal fortune to feel like a lottery winner, as shown by our great range of luxury experiences just a click away – how about travelling in luxury with a trip on the Orient Express or if you fancy stretching out, what about hiring a private limo for the day to take the girlfriends to the races!

Okay, so jetting off in a private plane to a spa in the Maldives may be out of reach for us lottery hopefuls, but we do have some fantastic spa breaks currently on offer on the site. And if you want to arrive in style at your spa retreat, then you could do a lot worse than to hire a Ferrari for a day or two. No-one’s going to know you hired it for the day – and we won’t tell if you don’t!!

Lastly, the private yacht is the ultimate play thing of the rich and famous – well, we might be able to help at least get you on the water! We have a whole section devoted to boats for sale. Now we can’t promise a sleek Sunseeker with heli pad, sun deck and a master bedroom the size of a small country, but for £5,000 you can pick yourself up a nice little motorboat with plenty of character. And you know what, if you splash on a little fake tan, throw on a pair of Speedos and crack open a bottle of Tesco’s best value champers, you’ll feel like you’re in Monaco, even if you’re moored up in Southampton Docks.. honest!!

Who wants to be a millionaire anyway!

Go on, live the dream!

I don’t know about you but lately here at VivaStreet we just have no idea what clothes to put on in the morning. Hat and scarf, T-shirt and shorts, or a combination of the lot?

This changeable weather is leaving us in a clothing quandary – not that we’re complaining, mind you. This week, Britain is in for a treat, as unseasonably warm weather looks set to hang around until the weekend, with temperatures soaring to a balmy 21C across the country!

One thing’s for sure though, these warm days are unlikely to stick around for long, driving us back to our mittens and scarves before you can say Jack Frost.

Don’t worry – why not pop onto Vivastreet and pick up some bargain winter woollies in our second hand clothes section. Or if you’re looking to sell off those jumpers and shirts you’ve never worn, and free up a little space to hang the Santa Claus outfit, then we have thousands of visitors every day browsing on our buy and sell section. In fact it’s one of our most popular sections on the website!

If you’re in need of a little inspiration for your Halloween costume this year, why not take your look from the millions of Michael Jackson devotees who recently took to the streets to re-enact the superstar’s classic Thriller video? Just in time for Halloween, fans gathered in cities around the globe for a synchronised dance-off complete with fake blood, scars and ghoulish outfits.

Desperate to take the prize for best outfit at this year’s Halloween party? Well Vivastreet is creaking with spooky Halloween fancy dress outfits – you can find everything you need on our website to complete that spine-tingling look. We’ve got plenty of spooky goings-on, with everything from latex devils masks, Beetlejuice face masks, to witches hats and witches broomsticks.

Plus if you feel like showing off your dance moves by putting on your very own version of Thriller, you can always check out what dance classes are happening in your local area to brush up on your moves…

The following are simple tricks and tips you can use to maximise your chances of successful posting and help you to achieve good results.

1. The most important part of your ad, as far as the viewers are concerned, is the title of your classified ad. Here are some examples of good headings for the best impact results:
   •    Smith, Wales Plumbing Services
   •    2004 Renault Clio for sale
   •    Looking for House to rent in East London
   •    Hiring waiters in London- barman opportunity
2. Write a precise and detailed description of your ad. Write about benefits of your products or services for ad viewers. However, give only enough information to catch customers’ interest: nobody wants to read six inches of tiny text.
3. Be sure to include images or pictures with your ad if you have them! Potential buyers like this. You know what they say; a picture is worth a thousand words. Also make sure that the size and dimensions of your image files are within our acceptable limits (2Mb).
4. To keep your ads fresh and on the top of the listing page, renew your ads every couple of days with reposting them regularly. You have to give ad viewers a chance to find the ad in order for them to respond to it. On Vivastreet we offer reposting every 5 days.
5. Do not spam by posting your ads in all categories. Make sure you post your ads in the right and relevant category.  It is more successful to post in fewer categories which are relevant rather than over-posting with thousand ads.  As an alternative, you can create different ad descriptions and ad titles in the most suitable category rather than duplicate where it does not count.

By using these simple techniques mentioned above, you should be able to minimize your online free advertising effort and increase responses to your ads.

Remember, your ad title and ad description should stand out with action, words and pictures.

We will take care of the rest!
