SnaffleUp - Donate your stuff!

Rich — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:43:40 +0000

I have just found out a few of my mates have created a wicked website called SnaffleUp. It’s a much better implementation of Freecycle and I have to say I am going to add my first item this evening.

Check it out here: www.snaffleup.co.uk.

New Masterpiece Website

Rich — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 09:33:00 +0000

We launched the new website for Masterpiece a few weeks ago.

The whole site is built in Wordpress and can be updated by not technical editors and authors. Check out the website if you have a spare few minutes…

Trying to quit smoking

Rich — Sun, 11 May 2008 10:31:33 +0000

Today is the sixth day of not smoking, and I still really want one! What is quite interesting is that I can’t understand what exactly is driving me to give up. It’s really weird. I am using the patches which helps immensly.

Aside from kicking young chileren and animals, another good tip I recieved was to "treat myself to something" once I make it a week, a month etc… I like this idea but the price of patches isn’t cheap, £15 for seven days.

If anyone has any other good tips let me know…

Justin’s comments: "mmm tasty"

My first attempt at making bread

Rich — Sat, 03 May 2008 18:24:08 +0000

I have followed the recipe as close as I could (keeping in mind I had no scales). Right now my dough is (hopfully) rising in Justin’s office, which is the warmest room in the house.

Fingers crossed it all goes well. More to follow…

I’ve had enough!
