Advantages: There's some great stuff on the web!

Disadvantages: Fitting it all in!

1. Amazon. I love love love it! All these great books and some at such bargain prices! I have a wishlist about eight pages long and every time I want to treat myself I'll buy myself one... or two... or however many it takes to make it up to the free postage because this make it *ahem* cheaper.

2. Facebook. I think facebook is a brilliant site. It is such a good, low-maintenance way of staying in contact with the friends and family members you don't get to see very often. I have cousins in Australia and Canada as well as friends all over the globe, and I find that this is the easiest way both to keep and to be kept updated with photos and messages. Its also great fun playing scrabble online with a childhood friend based across the other side of the world!

3. HSBC. Technically this isn't a 'favourite' as who likes being reminded that they have no money?! However, the website itself is easy to use and I check it every single day as I like knowing how much I (don't ) have in my account. It makes it much easier to stay on top of things.

4.EBay. Some brilliant bargains and some random crap to be found on here! Great for both buying and selling stuff from both these categories.

5. Hotmail. For staying in contact with everybody.

6. The Guardian. For all my news needs! I also read the Beeb but find that coverage is quite often not that in-depth. I also like the layout, I find it clean and easy to navigate. The Guardian also has the best coverage of media jobs!

7. Moneysavingexpert. Useful site for money saving tips, trying to keep myself motivated money saving wise! It also has great forums with lots of tips for other things - for example, we accidentally spilt a whole can of pink paint all over our carpet in our rented house, and it was this site that enabled us to get it all out - there were some great cleaning tips which probably saved our deposit!

8. Television without pity. If I miss any episodes of my TV programmes I can go to this site and read a recap. The recaps are often really funny and have all the info so that I can keep up to date. They're often quite critical and analytical too, so if you don't spot any recurring themes / clues, they're often pointed out here.

9. Wikipedia. In my workplace, Wikipedia has been turned into a verb - 'I'll Wikipedia it!' I genuinely don't know we would get through the day without it to settle our disputes on subjects like whether a poached egg, hollandaise sauce and spinach is an egg Florentine or just an Egg Benedict with spinach, or other important subjects like that!

10. Dooyoo. This is a new one but I am really enjoying this site. It combines a lot of things I enjoy - finding out stuff, learning from others' experience, great tips and nice people!

Summary: I think I have a nice mix of favourites here!
