My Search Funds has become Homepages Friends
I wrote last Tuesday that My Search Funds (the site that pays you for your web searches) was to become Homepages Friends. This change took place yesterday. The biggest change is that Yahoo is now used for the searches. I haven’t done enough searches to be able to judge the quality of the results, but […]

Doorbells
Why is it that delivery people find it so hard to use doorbells? You’d have thought they would be more experienced than most, but they seem incapable of pressing that little button. Maybe it’s something missing from their basic training. I suppose they are too used to doorbells not working, but surely people wouldn’t bother […]

My Search Funds to become Homepages Friends
My Search Funds announced today in an email to their users (or at least me) that they are to become Homepages Friends. It seems they are moving away from just paid searches, to add more cashback services (like their existing eBay cashback). One downside is that they are moving away from Google to use Yahoo […]

The right tool for the job
I was enjoying my lie in on Saturday morning when I was rudely awaken at 07:30 by the sound of a lawn mower coming from the front of our house. The strange thing is we don’t have any neighbours with a front lawn. I looked out of the window to see someone cutting our neighbours […]

For years I had just accepted the ever increasing amount of spam delivered to my mailbox every day. My email address is at the top of every page on the company […]

Wii Fit Arrived – First Thoughts
Our Wii Fit arrived yesterday! We found one in stock at Dixons, using the great Wii Fit Stock finder (you have to be quick off the mark, but can normally find one if you persist – actually as I write Tesco.com have them in stock and they’re £5 cheaper than most other places!). It arrived […]

My Search Funds – Get Paid to use Google!?
I’ve been using My Search Funds (the site that pays you to search) for a little while now. Up to now they have used Ask.com to provide the search results. I was surprised today to find a Google results page when I searched. I thought I had selected the wrong search engine, but I checked, […]

Car Insurance Renewal Database
I got three pieces of junk mail today (old fashioned snail mail) from 3 different car insurance providers reminding me that my policy is up for renewal. Two of the mailings were from the same company (one from Direct Line, one from Privilege – part of direct line), the third was from Churchill, which as […]
