How to keep safe onlineIf you are shopping on line using PayPal is a good starter, however I found I feel much safer having an additional current account with no more than a few pounds in it, and a separate Credit Card with a low limit, say £750 for on line use only, that way should I be compromised my maximum exposure is pretty small. Link them to PayPal and your pretty safe. Just remember if it sounds too good then it probable is ! I'm still waiting for my $8m to be transfered from the Central Bank of Nigeria, tough to be fair, I never knew I had an account with them :-)ViewDate:

Email optionsThunderbird and Post Box are e-mail clients, you still need an e-mail account, be it with Yahoo, Gmail, Outlook, AOL, or your ISP ( Internet Service Provider ). Where the clients score is that you can have several e-mail accounts monitored with just one application, and not miss any e-mail because you forgot to check all your accounts. Thunderbird is very easy to set up and offers a consistent interface between accounts. When you write an e-mail you click on write, not compose or new or mail or what ever the web based supplier wants to call it.ViewDate:

How to save money with the latest energy technologiesI changed virtually all my light bulbs to LED versions, big savings, highest rated bulb I have in use is 16 Watt, the rest are lower. All the bulbs added together are less than one old light fitting with its halogens. I also use power saver plugs, for the TV and Computer, when the main unit is switched off the plug stops the power to other things connected to it. In the case of the computer, turn it off and the printer, scanner, speaker, and powered USB hub are all turned off. With the TV the Freesat, Youview, and Sound Bar are turned off, just remember that if you set your recorder, it needs to have power all the time. But there is catch-up TV :-) .ViewDate:

Why you should switch to an independent energy supplier this Independence DayI've switched a couple of times and the process has been pretty painless, that was until I switched to a new small company from Germany, and it has been a complete shambles. They talked the talk, but failed to live up to their hype, prices were great but service worst than none existent. Trying hard to get back to EDF who I must say were excellent before I swapped from them. Perhaps I was just unlucky, and may well give another smaller company a chance once I have got things regularized.
