	rightmove.co.uk If you're looking to buy, or even rent a house in the UK or abroad then rightmove makes a great starting point. With over half of all UK estate agents placing their properties on the site there's plenty of choice!
	local.live.com I love Google Earth but the images in my area are pretty poor. Local Live's better for me and like Google it also provides details on local businesses and driving directions.
	The Telephone Preference Service (TPS) is a central opt out register whereby individuals can register their wish not to receive unsolicited sales and marketing telephone calls. It is a legal requirement that companies do not make such calls to numbers registered on the TPS. If you get too many sales calls this stops them! There is also a postal one although not as effective.

	Aveaword.com To publicise the new Mini Cooper. Dish the dirt on a mate and email a flash video to have a word with your mate. Good fun!
