Hooray, just got my very overdue Dooyoo £50 cheque. Now what am I going to spend it on?

15th September 2009

Wow! Two crowns in as many weeks. Either I am getting the hang of this or the rest of you are getting worse! Seriously though, a big thanks to all who have read, rated, commented and nominated me for my humble offerings.

So I guess I should update this now that I have a few reviews under my belt. I am starting to get used to how this place works, but am somewhat surprised at how my approach to reviews has varied. When I started I thought my efforts would concentrate mostly on gadgets, but in reality it has been everything from food to days out that have taken my fancy. I guess the only area I have not strayed into is films and books. Well I am not a massive reader, as although I enjoy reading, I find that if I get into a book I will need to read it as much as possible. This does not fit into my lifestyle and so I usually end up putting it down. However we do watch a lot of films, so maybe this is an area that needs to be looked into.

Can I just say a big thank you to all who have read my reviews and made kind comments including nominations. It is always fantastic to get the feed back. I probably should try harder to respond but forgive me if I don't always; I am a bloke after all!

I do spend quite a lot of time looking at the new reviews as they come out. This is not always a positive experience though as I have noticed myself shying away from certain reviewers if I feel their motives are not in the best spirit of Dooyoo. If I see a new member with 3 reviews in a row, I will probably pass over without viewing.

Anyway on the positive, I think that most reviews and reviewers do an admirable job here. I am not a member of any other review site, and to be honest from what I have read about the others I think I will just stick with this one for now.

Hi, I live in Leeds with my fantastic wife and daughters aged 5 and 6. Despite the name, I am a non-smoker; the only fix I get these days is a good cup of coffee!

So I hope you enjoy my reviews. I will try to respond to anyone who does (or doesn't), but bear with me as I still haven't found the perfect formula for not missing any!
