July is upon us so what have I been up to?!

Well time certainly seems to be flying by at the moment. Been keeping busy with moving things home, sorting out my bedroom and doing a few reviews here and there.

Check out: eTeknix.com for the reviews and news and everything else that I have been doing. eTeknix is growing at quite a fair rate currently, nearly averaging 5k visitors a day which is allowing us to run lots more competitions and we are giving away between £100-350 worth of products per WEEK! I'm investing quite a lot of my time into this and although it's not paying me back at a nice hourly rate its nice to see that we are making progress and are starting to get some revenue from advertising that can be invested into the site and even starting to pay our staff including me. We have recently started paying per news article written, while its not much, any incentive is better than none and we will increase these payments again very shortly.

The main reason I love reviewing is that I get to play with some new gadgets and at the same time keep some things I like or sell them on and get some cash in my pocket. It's certainly not going to make the difference between me being in debt or not being in debt but an extra note in my wallet never goes a miss. Will soon be renting a proper house for next year at Uni, unfortunately first payment is nearly £700 and its due in 2 weeks, even though I can't move in for 5 weeks. That's life and I won't have even got the deposit back from my old flat! Starting to make heavy use of the overdraft and credit cards!

My room at home, since moving back, is made up of crates and boxes. I have no real storage as such and so it looks a bit weird. I have 12 large crates storing books to dvds to folders to textbooks and even reviewing products as well as 8 cardboard boxes with review items in. Funnily enough I only have 7 items to review (2 more turned up today) but still have another 3 items to sell as well as an old computer case.

I feel at this point I ought to switch back to the tennis as this is becoming a bit of a ramble and hopefully Murray will be on centre court and I can watch him win. Although, I still never expect too much from the Brit, he hasn't quite got the consistency that players like Nadal have. Will be interesting to see if any of the 'injuries' make any difference to the match.

Over and out for now!
