Hello! Recently I singed up for Screenr, which is really cool! Here is a video of me demonstrating some awesome google tricks!

Hello! Last term we made videos demonstrating what to do in a consumer problem. I was in a group with Monique and Jessica. The video was to explain how to correctly return a faulty item, and what our rights as consumers are. We also demonstrated NOT what to do as well, which was really fun to film! Anyway… In our video we ~ ~ Identified and described a typical consumer problem. ~ Accessed, made sense of ans used information derived from consumers laws and regulations. ~ Described the rights and responsibilities of the customer. ~ Explained how to make a complaint to a trader about faulty goods. We all starred in the video and took turns filming so we all had a go at different roles. Overall, I think we did a really great job. We planned out a great script, and demonstrated how to correctly return a faulty item (and not how to as well!) If we ever make another video, one thing we should to better is the volume of talking. We will need to speak up because at times we were speaking really quiet and could be hard to hear. Apart from that, I think it turned out really great! Simone
Guten Tag!!! (German for ‘Good day’) As you may be able to tell from the title a few centimetres above this line you are reading right now, this is going to be a post about my birthday!!! Well, my actual birthday is on April 8th, but all the fun started on the 7th, because that was when I had my party!!! It was SO much fun! I got some really great presents and had an awesome time. The next morning, I woke up, felt excited, couldn’t remember why, remembered and got up. I went and woke up mum and dad, which annoyed them because it was only just 6am, but of course I didn’t actually care. Mum went and got the cards people had sent me. I opened them, then I saw the massive ELECTRIC GUITAR shaped present in the corner of the room, and I had a happiness spaz, them mum came in with an AMP shaped present, (these were actually box shaped presents but I guessed by the size) and I had another happiness spaz. Opening time!!! I had my third happiness spaz that morning as I opened the AMP shaped present, and I found out what it was… AN AMP!!! Even better, the ELECTRIC GUITAR shaped present was in fact an ELECTRIC GUITAR!!!!!!! But that was all my parents got for me because electric guitars are quite expensive. But I didn’t mind (much…!). I spent the next four hours after that playing my electric guitar (with a stop for breakfast) then my fingers got sore so I went for a ride on my scooter, came back, ate an entire (large) easter egg, then continued playing guitar. A few hours later my nanas and my granddad came, closely followed by my cousins. I opened all the presents (one of my favourites was from my cousins – a beanie with CAT EARS!!!) then we all just sat around, ate, talked and discussed my guitar. Then me and my cousin went downstairs to the soundproof room and played the guitar, then he decided he was completely guitared out, and I agreed! So we went outside until dinner. My cousins stayed the night, and the next day we just hung around at home, playing the guitar (of course) then later on my mum and aunty wanted to go out to the shops so we all went to the mall with them. I was on my Heelies, and I was wearing my beanie with cat ears (and I later bought some Geek glasses) so I was what one might describe as a geeky cat on wheels… Afterwards, my cousins and aunty went home and me and mum went home too. For the rest of the day I just hung about, listened to music and (YES of COURSE) played my electric guitar! Since I have mentioned it so much, you may want to know what my guitar looks like so here is a picture of me with it -
Well, yeah! That was my extremely awesome, guitar-y birthday! Simone xoxoxo Hello! I am going to tell you about two really cool websites that I think you should try out! The first one is Picnik, which I found out about quite a while ago. It is an awesome photo editing website, where you can edit your photos, put cool stuff on them and make them look cool by playing around with all the awesome pictures. You can edit one of your own photos, or use one of the example pictures from the website. Sadly, Picnik is closing down on 19 April, but it says that they are moving all thair popular photo editing tools to Google+, whatever that is! Anyway, here is a photo that I edited of my cat Billie -  BEFORE  AFTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As you can see, the edited version is MUCH more colourful, and I actually prefer it to the original! The title said 2 websites, so I suppose I should tell you about another one! The other website is called Drumbot and it is really awesome! I only found out about this this morning because I needed to tune my guitar, and I can’t find my mum’s guitar tuner so we looked for one online, and came across this. There are several different things you can do, my favourite one is the Key Chords. In this, you have the option of every single guitar chord ever created (I think) and you can put them together to make a song and you can even choose the strum pattern and everything, it’s so cool. It’s also great for when you’re writing a song and you can’t think of a tune – click the dice, this makes a random set of chords, and you can keep clicking on them until you get a good tune. Well, enjoy playing around with these websites! Simone xoxoxoxoxoxoxo Hello! I find it really sad at the end when he is about to bite the cookie and the jar falls on his head! No cookie for Ormie… Simone xoxoxoxo Hello! Here are the winners for the riddles - They got questions 1, 2, 3 and 4 right. for getting questions 1, 2, 3, and 5 right! Well done guys! Simone xoxoxo Hello!!! For topic we had to post a consumer problem that either us or our parents have experienced. Here is one of my parents’… Sometime last year my dad bought a TV from Dick Smith but since it was part of a package deal, he got a DVD player with it. But we already had a DVD player for it so we gave it to my nana. She was perfectly fine with that, and it was working better than her old one, but two months later it completely stopped working. So my dad took it back to the shop and asked for a refund, but the people weren’t sure what to do because it had been part of a package deal. So they ended up ringing the Dick Smith people in Australia, and they said to refund him for the entire package deal, even though he only wanted to return the DVD player. So he got the entire 300 dollars back that he paid for both the TV and DVD player, but it was in Dick Smith vouchers so we could only buy stuff from there but we’ve got quite a lot of stuff! We got a webcam, a hard drive, a nintendo game for me, and a whole lot of other stuff. AND we could keep the TV.So that was good! So there’s my consumer problem. In the comments tell me one of your consumer problems! Simone Hello! Here are some riddles for you to work out!!! When the winners are announced, they will get their name written in big glitter text!!! Good luck
