I’m quite in shock, I grew up with his music. I mean he has become a bit of a crazy figure in the last 20 years but I still have fond memory of the kook.

I dug around a little more, and what I found was that Enigin and companys like this can save you “up to 40%” - so that probably menas more like 30%, or maybe 25 or 20%. Think about this though - if someone is running a 20% off sale in the shops people go running - so why should it be any different in this case?

I think that perhaps it is all about economy’s of scale. I presume that people like Enigin get companys going to them. A large building would use lots of electricity up, so 20% of a large building is a big deal. 40% is an even bigger deal. However, fo you and me in our homes, 20% isn’t such a large amount of money… or so we think. Actually it is - again because of economys of scale. If we save £100 - that is enough to buy clothes or have a good night out. To a big company £100 is nothing. However, they would save 20% of tens of thousands, maybe millions, so to them it is alot.

So why aren’t more people being enviromentally friendly not out of an ethical stand point, but out of greed? I’m not sure, but I think that perhaps this really is the way forward. Let’s save the world not by making people care, but by appealing to their pockets! Lets use greed and selfishness, to turn the world into a bunch of tree hugging hippies - because hugging trees is going to be more profitable than not!

I am a stay at home mom of three boys. Their ages are 12, 3 and 1 years old. The are full of life and joy, running around dreaming of growing up quickly. My middle ones current game is driving up and down the hall in his imaginary truck delivering red diesel to the different rooms. The eldest has long since grown past that kind of thing, but he still adds his fair share to the house mayhem! As you can see, I definitely have my hands full all the time. My typical day starts at around 6:30am and doesn’t stop until around 9:00pm. My children are really fun to be around but they do take a lot of work. Even so, I love them all the same.

When the alarm clock sounds in the morning (which is usually my oldest son getting ready for school), I wake up and make my coffee. At this time, my 3 year old is now getting up. I turn on the TV for him while I make sure that my oldest son is all set and ready to leave for school. My husband brings him in the mornings.

Once the two of them leave in the morning, I grab a cup of coffee and sit down to my computer to check email. Soon enough my 1 year wakes up and I go and get him from his crib, make him a bottle of milk and sit him down to a run of Blues Clues (along with my 3 year old). So, as I was saying, I sit down at my computer and begin checking my email and getting ready to work (I also work from home).

My 3 year old at this point decides that he is hungry. So, I get up and pop a couple pieces of toast in the toaster or fry an egg depending on what he feels like eating that day. I sit down at my computer after I serve breakfast to again, begin working and my 1 year old has just thrown down his bottle and begins to shake his swing vigorously back and forth to the point the swing is beginning to tip (the swing is only used for a quick bottle). So, I get back up and run over to him, grab him out of the swing and plop him on the ground with toys and his brother.

The two of them begin to play and all of a sudden BOOM! My 1 year old ends up on the floor after my 3 year old pushes him. I get up and divert their attention to something better and proceed on to working on my computer. Within about 10 minutes I have my 1 year old tugging at my legs crying. Well, you know what this means, it is time to eat. So I get up and whip up breakfast for him and feed him. I then set him down after he is full and let him play with his older brother while I try to get some work done.

Within 5 to 10 minutes they are going at it again, BOOM! My 1 year old is on the floor again crying because my 3 year old pushed him. I get up from my work and go over to the boys and again, divert their attention. This goes on and on through out the day while in between my 10 minutes of work here and 10 minutes of work there. Nap time is at 12:30pm until 2:30pm where I get a chance to shower, take care of my body skin care needs and put on some make up. Then I then go to pick up my 13 year old from school. I come home and and spend some time with my boys, playing games for awhile until it is time to make dinner. This is where I set them off to play amongst themselves.

Of course, the next few hours are full of 13 year old instigating the 3 year old and the 3 year old pushing and shoving down the 1 year old followed by tons of yelling, screaming and crying. On and on it goes until around 8pm when the two little ones are in bed and I can enjoy a bit of piece and quiet. I then go to bed only to wake up several times a night to my teething 1 year old. I wake up the next morning and the cycle begins again. My how wonderful raising three boys are!

So they no longer rank for the big competitive search terms that they used to rank for, and their home page is no longer even stored in the Google Cache:
Big Mouth Media Google Cache

They have done something wrong, I don’t know what at this stage. It may well be that they resolve this and make ammends very quickly, quietly and efficiently which would be all well and good for them and their clients. If however they have over stepped the mark in a big way, or they handle the post appologies badly this could mean bad news for them.

Why am I telling you this? They are an SEO company, so they work on behalf of clients. If they have offended, it stands to reason that they have done so in a bid to gain ranking for clients, in which case it seems logical that their client base will be examined and re evaluted depending on the relationships and the links in place.

This could be nothing at all, but if you happen to be a client of theirs, or employ their services you need to have a little think about your position. This could all go away in a few days, but if it doesn’t, so you really want your business looked after someone who couldn’t keep their own site within Googles clearly stated guidelines?

Up at 4am, for a quick trip to France today. Got my gear already sorted so dressed, out and off I went really quickly. I can’t quite explain the beauty of riding my motorbike at that time of day. The roads are magnificently empty. It’s a cold trip as I am heading into the rising sun, all misty and the heat of the sun not yet strong enough to burn off the haze.

Arrived at the Eurotunnel at 6am. Rather chilled but still not frozen so able to control the bike nicely! Now all I needed was a ticket. A while later, conversation with the nice ticket lady and i’ve parted with more money than if I’d bought the ticket online. Bummer. Oh well. I don’t plan spending more than the twenty euros cash I have in my pocket. Forty give minutes to wait til departure, which in reality means I have time for a comfort break, no coffee and back on the bike to queue up for passport control and boarding. And that’s how it happened.

On board….and thirty give minutes later we’re off-loading in France. I follow my satnav and am heading for a coastal village called who knows what that hopefully should provide coffee and breakfast. Only about twelve miles away, and after getting slightly off route in the town centre (satnav wanted to take me to the shopping centre!!) Thirty mins or so later its coffee, bread and jam (no croissants, what is that all about? Am I really in France?) And a fab view over the ocean….very hazy, though gorgeously crisp and warm enough to sit outside in the sunshine. Wandered down on to the beach and took a few photos then back to the bike for a great day’s riding on the empty French roads.
What a fabulous day. One to be repeated again. And a million times cheaper than getting botox injections in London like my friend did - experience over products any day!

With so many things happening in the world, I have found it to be extremely important that I watch the amount of money that I am spending. The credit crunch has hit, and though we don’t know it the change in exchange rate from dollors to pounds really does make a difference. Not everything is in a down turn, the supermarkets “value” ranges are doing better than ever, and wierdly enough cosmetic surgery has gone up in the uk. But it is also extremely important to find ways to increase my income, even if just by a little, so that I am a little better off then I would normally be. To increase my income I will work some extra hours, cut a neighbors grass, or baby sit. I will also make it a point to sit down at my computer and work on my home based business, whether it be Team building or recruiting for a bigger downline. Whatever it takes to make a few extra bucks is completely worth my time.

It is important though that I pay attention to the amount of money that I am spending. This can really get out of hand for me if I do not keep an eye on it. I tend to like to shop a lot. I buy my cosmetics online in order to save money, but even when you are saveing you are still spending on something that can be eliminated completely, so I’ve stopped for now. The next thing to do is to conserve on gasoline. Not only does this help the environment but it saves me a lot of money as well. Instead of making three or four trips during the week into town that is thirty minutes away I will conserve the gasoline and make one big trip to do everything I need to do while out there. This not only saves me money but it also saves me some time as well which can be put to much better use. I also make sure that I fill up my gasoline tank in the early morning as this is a known fact that you get more gallons for your buck this way. Why? Well later on in the day, gasoline tends to evaporate faster giving you less gas. Don’t believe me? Look it up.

Getting more things online is a good way forward as well. Taking the time to shop around to find the best price is also well worth it. I just renewed the caravan insurance, and got a much better deal for having picked a company on the second page of google rather than the first page. This can be done for many things.

I also make sure that I shop at the grocery stores that offer off brand foods. While these stores generally make you bag your own food, I have found that I save about one hundred and fifty dollars on my grocery bill every two weeks when I shop. This is a lot of money saved in just one week and it is in incredible amount of money saved over the course of a year. Coupon clipping, gasoline conservation, and keeping the lights off in the house as much as possible are all ways that I try to conserve my money so that I am prepared for when I really need the cash.
