Apologises for the lack of blogging.. The hell that is exams is not yet over- though I am fairly happy with them so far *fingers crossed*.

I thought that I would take this opportunity to show off my new Windows Phone:

I've only had it a week, yet I don't know how I managed without one.

Right, I'll follow this up at some point with an extensive review when I've explored more of its functions- but revision awaits!

My netbook has broken so I'm borrowing another one.. Yet it won't let me do anything. So I won't be blogging very much as this netbook won't let me copy and paste anything!

My sister has won M&S "Do Your Thing" campaign >> http://www.itv.com/digitalsolutions/marksandspencer/ (netbook won't let me do hyperlinks!)

Hopefully this netbook situation will be sorted soon!

Ironically, I was reading this whilst at the gym- worth taking a couple of minutes out to take a look.. I'm hoping to extend this blog point at a later date to explore the debate here.

Enjoy.

For those of you that missed it, here is the link to my appearance in the Guardian yesterday. Claim to fame or what?!

Here is a link that explains how manufacturers can change packaging to influence consumption.... It explains that packaging of painkillers is especially designed to fit a number of purposes- not just to maximise profits.

I know this is not academic at all, but as I'm revising 24/7, this made me smile. The Economics will be back soon!

Again, apologies for the lack of blogging. At the moment, I'm literally revising and sleeping- leaving no time to blog. But I found this article that is an interesting read.

I'll be blogging consistently again when all the exams are over.

As I spent most of a day making these, I thought that they deserved a mention.

 Happy Birthday Dad (I won't say exactly which Birthday it is, as you're likely to see it and won't be happy with me )

I know that his article is old now, but I've only just found it so I thought it was worth a blog. According to this, the Royal Wedding tomorrow is costing the British economy £6 billion in lost productivity as businesses are only open for three days between April 22nd and May 2nd (with many staff choosing to take these three days as annual leave).

Though many people argue that the Wedding is likely to make money from extra tourist revenues and sales of memorabilia, in reality, economists have predicted that this only generates £1 billion.

However, many seem to ignore the "feel good factor" that a Royal Wedding generates- who can put a price on a cheerful nation? Especially if this causes people to loosen their purse strings for a little while...
