Okay, I wouldn’t say my Buy Organic site is a financial success but people are visiting it and that’s making me happy. They are reading the articles and product recommendations as well as signing up for the newsletter. I am making a few sales but I don’t think I’ll have many more until [...]

After using AdWords for a couple of months to promote my Cheap Web Templates website, I’m finally having some success.
It took quite a while to work out how to reduce my cost per click to make it profitable but I think I’ve got the hang of it now. The point is to use LOTS [...]

I went out for a walk quite late last night, around 11pm. It was very cold, like the middle of winter in fact, but I soon warmed up. The streets of Boulogne were very quiet and it was great time to be out, I almost had the streets to myself.
I saw a part [...]

I launched a new site yesterday called Stop Yawning. It offers tips and advice for people who aren’t getting enough sleep. It mentions some of the causes of sleep problems and insomnia. Some topics include:
Lose Weight – this can help as your breathing may be restricted at night and this might be affecting [...]

Ferbent’s cousin Shyqo died yesterday after a 3 year battle with cancer. He was only 36 years old and leaves behind his wife and 2 young children. Ferbent was very close to him and is understandably very upset. He died in hospital in Greece and the funeral will be today at 3pm. [...]

Everyone knows about [...]

After having a shower leak a couple of weeks ago which resulted in some very upset neighbours below us, we now have another one. Naturally it’s the same neighbours complaining and I had the plumber here again today. It was the same plumber as last time and he seemed thorough, he seemed to [...]

The last big job on my to do list is to apply for a carte de sejour. I haven’t applied yet because I had to wait for Ferbent to get a job. Now that he has and he’s completed the probation period I can go ahead. I’ve been a bit worried about [...]

To get the electricity connected in France you have no choice but to call them or have someone who speaks French call them for you. My real estate agent offered to call them for me, knowing my French wasn’t particularly good at that time. I thought this was so nice of him until [...]

There are many good phone and internet deals in France but I decided to get my ADSL with France Telecom (Wanadoo soon to be Orange) which is not the cheapest. I went with them for one reason only, it was easy.
My French is okay but I’m not very confident talking on the telephone so [...]
