Weekend wrap: Shopping, fitness, dreaming and @DiscoveringPurpose

by Eleanor

Hey there :) How’ve you been? Can you believe it’s the weekend already? What have you been up to? I celebrated my birthday this week so it’s been one of my favourite times ;) Here’s a quick round up of the things you may have missed this week. Grab a cuppa then get comfy. It’s been a busy one :)

After teaching our UK friends how easy it is to Give A Brick for free while you shop, this week I took you shopping. The short video post showed you just how simple shopping online via The Giving Machine is. With just a couple of extra clicks, it really is possible to give to up to four of your favourite charities without it costing you a single penny. Cool eh? ;)

As I’ve already alluded to, it was my birthday on Wednesday. I shared a fitness post with you which was written as part of Carlos Velez’s pre-writing challenge. (As an aside, he has a book coming out soon about the challenge. Keep a look out for that, it will be great.) I’m no fitness guru and this post should be enjoyed in light of that information. That’s all I’m saying, you’ll have to check it out for yourself ;)

Do you ever use the ‘favourite’ option on Twitter to keep track of great quotes and interesting looking things that you need to save for later? I do and it was thanks to that feature that I was able to ask Ben Lumley from 6aliens.com to expand on a quote he sent out in a tweet a couple of months ago. Left to my feeble memory it would have been lost forever!

And finally, we had the opportunity to get to know Give A Brick friend Ayo Olaniyan a little better in our Friday Friend interview. It is thanks to Ayo’s kindness that you were able to watch the lovely Giving Machine videos. Do you remember my wish list? Ayo came up trumps when he donated a copy of Jing Pro. The Giving Machine Videos are just the start of some of the things we’ll be up to over the coming weeks and months. Thanks again Ayo :)

That’s your lots for this week. But tell me, what have you enjoyed reading this week? And no, it doesn’t have to be on here. Tell me where you’ve been exploring on the web this week.

Been a strange week for me lol. Yes I enjoyed reading here, and elsewhere =P

I’ve had three guest posts out over the course of it, very strange (well ok, technically two but one was split in half). Have to do that more often methinks. ;) Plus Ben had something really interesting on his Friday Homework yesterday; check it out when you get back, personality test is awesome.
