Neat Find: When Shopping Online, Do What The Netizens Do

Surf for coupons first, that's what you do. You can get anything from free shipping to 50% off retail. All the experienced netizens do that so should you too. Like the Romans do.

If you need baby stuff (most mothers obsessively do - I am no different), you can get discounts at KMart, The BabyCenter Store, and Old Navy, which is by the way my favourite for all kids clothes.

If you live online or at least partially like I do (now), do check out http://www.couponchief.com for a zillion cool coupons updated everyday. It'll save you a bundle.

Review: Top Mobile Games for Nursing Moms - tested on Nokia

As a nursing mom, there's only so many things you can do while baby is dozing on the boob. One of them is playing mobile games. And here are the best imo:

1. Monster Pets

In a two-storey room you can home up to 4 very cute pet monsters who explore and fight with other monsters, train, learn from a library, play, and rest! Watch your monster grow and you'll be a very proud parent indeed. Highly addictive and certainly strains your phone battery.

2. Tornado Mania!

You're in charge of a biosphere and a tornado machine where you can swoop up (hopefully without damage) buildings and place them in your biosphere a la Sim City. Takes some dexterity of the thumb but you'll get it with some practice. Highly addictive too and strains your phone battery as well. Keep charger nearby.

3. Liferush

Very much a sort of Sim life, you choose your life goals of cash, career, education, and happiness before embarking on a rather thrilling day to day adventure of finding work, investing money, socialising, and keeping fit. Easy to play and put down anytime.

All are light and easy to play. My only regret is that Monster Pets doesn't work on my Nokia 6280. Sigh...

Google each game to find your nearest mobile game provider.

Neat Find: Cheap Broadband in the UK

My nose is always out for a deal and it has been famously said (okay from my own lips so far) that my favourite word is "sale". Actually it is "deal".

Before you sign on that dotted line for a cheap broadband package (Greg: hear me now), check out Cheap Broadband Suppliers.

This I like. No frills, just a great comparison chart, reviews of all the ISPs, and handy guides on broadband. This is how comparison sites should be.

Head on over to find a Broadband Provider now.
