The Cooperative – a thoughtful alternative (sponsored post).
When we moved here a couple years ago, I was quite pleased to realise that there’s not a lot in the way of big supermarkets about. Instead our local convenience shop is a medium sized East of England coop. I also like the fact that they carry local food, clearly labelled – our mushrooms travel…
World book night, or how hard is it to give away 48 books?
These are books. Copies of Toni Morrison’s Beloved to be precise, but a special edition, specially printed for World Book Night. I have 48 of them, and I was supposed to give them out tonight. I haven’t quite made it. But then again, I didn’t really have enough of a plan, as my initial ideas…
Books worth waiting for…
and authors worth seeing. Yesterday I passed a Waterstones. Well, actually I didn’t. As I was attempting to pass a Waterstones it lured me in, by offering me a free magazine and book for signing up for a Waterstones’ card. And then, last night, I was browsing their site (as you do), and I spotted…
Sigg drinks bottle review.
I was recently fortunate enough to be chosen to review Sigg drinks bottles as sold by Purekit. I confess until the bottle arrived I didn’t quite know what all the fuss about Sigg was for – surely a drinks bottle is just a drinks bottle? Just how wrong can you be? I like to avoid…
So what's the point of a mifi then?
Recently on twitter I came into contact with Johanna who works for Three. We chatted about what works for bloggers, and then, more privately, about what would work for me 😉 As a result, when I went on holiday in December to a youth hostel, a mifi followed me there. Now, it turned out that…
What are you doing today?
Are you setting up a Christmas tree? Shopping online, or maybe, shock horror, out at the shops? Perhaps you are wrapping presents, maybe you’ve been or are going to church. While you’re doing all of that, I’m getting up early, putting on my running gear, and driving to the next town, with a Santa suit…
Could you make money from your blog?
As many of you are aware, 😉 I've been doing some sponsored articles on the blog. They've been via ebuzzing, part of the wikio group of websites, and the current campaign is actually about them, as they are looking to recruit more bloggers 🙂 I've found it reasonably straightforward to use and there's been plenty…
More moblogging
This time from the HTCDesire on loan from Three. I’ve installed WordPress for Android and I’m tapping away fighting with the predictive text, but I can’t quite seem to figure out why sometimes I end up somewhere else on the screen. I shouldn’t like this phone, but oh I do. I can’t quite work out…
testing moblogging
this is a blogpost from the N97, via pixelpipe. got to say this keyboard isn’t as usable as it looks at first sight, the keys just aren’t very responsive, and it isn’t big enough to touchtype. think I’m actually slower on this than I was on the E72. (There’s a test I should be doing,…
The Co-operative Community Fund wants you
The Cooperative Membership Fund is a community fund/ grant scheme looking for groups who want to make real change in their community. They give out grants from £100 to £2000 funded by donations from their members – and the money stays in the area it was donated. Groups don’t have to be charities, but they…
