john_essex You could try starting up a wordpress blog (its free) to practise your writing skills. It would be a good way to advertise your writing skills. Or www.blogger.com is nice and easy to use (and also free). Maybe follow some other writers to learn from them,...

I was sad when a gorgeous swimming pool in Bridgwater closed down. It had warm water and a wave machine. I used to life going there with my kids for a swim. It was fun to go into the rapid river. It was disappointing when it...

john_essex Our local pool is ok, but its only a small pool (25m) with no seperate childrens pool. We dont go there that often and end up driving about 10miles to a better pool, which is a shame really. The pool that we do go to is great for the kids as its always very...

john_essex Yes, PM me a link please. I'm not a writer, but I do a fair bit of writing myself for my websites. When I can afford it I would like to hire someone to write for me as I find it very hard to write good articles. I'm sure that what takes me days to write a...

john_essex Good idea about growing some vegetables, home grown food is often better than what you get in the supermarket. I actually quite enjoy gardening and I have quite a few strawberry and tomato plants in the garden. If I had a bigger garden I could grow enough of...

john_essex Getting banned for a grammer error seems very harsh, no one can write perfectly all the time, we all make mistakes from time to time. There are plenty of websites looking for good writers, while rejection can be hard, just take it in your stride and look for...

john_essex What sort of forums are you looking for? Ideally they should be related to your website, so if your website is about dogs, you really need to find a dog related forum. Many forums are now no-follow because of too many people spamming the forums.

john_essex Earning money from blogging sounds easy, but the reality is that it requries very hard work or if you are lucky enough to be a very skilled writer or very creative then you will do well. Take a look at www.ratemyblog.co.uk to get an idea of what the best...

john_essex 15 miles is a good distance to go, I've recently been getting back into cycling and managed a 20 mile ride the other day. My average speed is about the same as yours, not including stops (I stopped a couple of times on my ride). What sort of bike are you...

No doubt, there are a lot of great buys at a dollar store, especially those that really sell items for a $1 each, or less. Most of these goods are, however, made in China. But sometimes, there can be some branded items which...

john_essex My experience of dollar stores (or poundshops in the UK) is that the quality of the goods varies massively. Most stuff is made in China, and I think standards have improved greatly with many things being very good quality. However, you do need to be very...

john_essex Try shaving after you have had a shower. This gives the stubble a chance to soften from the water so that the razor can cut more cleanly. You could also try an electric shaver, or failing that you could always grow a beard :)
