Start A Parenting Blog

June 25th, 2007 » Comments (0)

Lets face it we all turn to the Internet these days for information, advice or just to chat to other people that share our problems, interests or hobbies. So if you fancy starting a child/parent friendly business and the Internet interests you why not start a blog about being a parent.
There are of course many [...]



Dieting For Men

June 25th, 2007 » Comments (0)

Kellogg’s recently conducted a survey which found that:

87% of men said they were going on a diet.
One in five said they were doing it for their partner, compared to one in 10 women.
20% of those aged 16 to 24 saying they thought it would help them find a new love.

Looking at those numbers and taking [...]



Syed Ahmed’s Hot Air Body Dryer

June 25th, 2007 » Comments (0)

I finally watched Syed Ahmed’s Hot Air last night. It was an interesting program, but frustratingly they didn’t stick with it to the end, we were left wondering if Syed has managed to make it work or not. I have my doubts.
Overall I really couldn’t see the point of his dryer, gym towels, as Duncan [...]



Inventor In Residence Says: Don’t Bother With The UK

June 25th, 2007 » Comments (4)

I read in The Guardian that Mark Sheahan the inventor of Squeezeopen is the British Library’s first inventor in residence. Which means that he will be sharing his tips and experiences with aspiring inventors at the British Library from next month.
The new role is part of the library’s business and intellectual property centre, launched in [...]



Tax Back

June 24th, 2007 » Comments (1)

The blog Tax Help is a blog that provides information about Business, Money, and getting Tax Back. It’s an interesting read, but what really caught my eye was the service they offer. They help people in the UK claim back any tax that they have overpaid. In an ideal world we wouldn’t need their services, [...]



Baby Gift Lists

June 24th, 2007 » Comments (0)

As soon-to-be parents we keep being asked two questions by friends and family:

Is it here yet?
What can we buy it as a gift? What’s so and so getting, so I don’t get the same?

Well no, it’s not here yet and I’ve no idea what to suggest as a gift, as I don’t know if/what other [...]



AdesClrPicker

June 24th, 2007 » Comments (0)

I’ve been investing some time over the last month refining the theme for this site, getting a “logo” designed and putting together a cohesive brand for the blog.
One thing that’s always a problem when trying to get a colour scheme right is matching different colours up, but I came across the color picker (AdesClrPicker) today [...]



New Baby Starter Kits

June 23rd, 2007 » Comments (0)

As my wife and I have been preparing for the arrival of our first child we had to spend many a weekend wandering around baby shops buying everything we need. It’s been quite a frustrating process, we’ve never been parents before so we didn’t know what we needed. As usual we searched the Internet for [...]



Maternity Pillows

June 22nd, 2007 » Comments (0)

While my wife has been pregnant she’s found it difficult to get comfortable at night (and during the day too for that matter) the result is that slowly over the weeks we have aquired more and more pillows in, on and around our bed, at the last count there’s seven, two for her head, one [...]



Idea Volcano - Another Blog About Business Ideas

June 22nd, 2007 » Comments (2)

I started this blog as a bit of fun, to share business ideas and opportunities I think of but don’t have the time (or money) to follow through on. It seems I’m not alone in my belief that business ideas should be shared, as according to the Telegraph some well known entrepreneurs are now following [...]
