Logged on this morning to find that my Google Checkout account had been changed to Google Wallet.
Not a huge deal i thought, until i realised that i couldn’t access my sales and invoices etc.
Easy way around this is to type this into the address bar
http://wallet.google.com/sell
This will take you to the checkout seller tools for orders and payments.
Tweet me (@alanhart) if this helped you.

So, I had my email accounts nicely setup on my Blackberry (on Vodafone but this is irrelevant).
I updated to OS 6 and both my email accounts continued to send/receive email absolutely fine.
However..
I later changed my email password for one of the accounts…
I received the usual message from blackberry a short time later telling me that it couldn’t access the Email account.
not a problem, i thought… i’ll just go into “Set-Up” then “Email Accounts” and change the password….
WRONG! … I clicked the Email Accounts icon… NOTHING! didn’t do anything!
“Bugger!” was the first thing i thought…
Eventually figured out that for some reason the Blackberry “Email Accounts / Email Setup” Application wasn’t even installed!
To rectify this very annoying problem…
- 1. Simply plug your sync cable between your blackberry and pc
- 2. Open the “Blackberry Desktop Software”
- 3. Click “Applications” and find “Email Setup” in the list
(see below)
- 4. If there’s a “+” button click this then click “Apply” at the bottom and it will install the Email Setup (takes a minute or two)
- 5. Wait for your pc and blackberry to finish installing
- 6. You should now be able to configure your email accounts on your blackberry!
Hope this helps you get ur email sorted on your BB, if it does or even if it doesn’t please tweet me

Toast sandwiches are a good way of saving money as well as calories.
Simply have one toast sandwich for lunch and nothing else.
Or for the less extreme approach have one for breakfast, one for lunch and one for dinner (only 990 calories per day)
Try it for a week or two and watch the weight fly off!
Ingreditents / Nutrition Information:
3 Slices of white bread (240 Calories)
10g Butter (90 Calories)
Total Calories: 330
Total Cost: About 7.5 Pence
You could make 13 Toast Sandwiches for one pound and still have 2.5p change!
The Toast Sandwich Diet costs less than 50p per week!
Carbohydrate: 55g
Protein: 9.5g

How to make a Toast Sandwich:
- 1. Toast a thin slice of bread
- 2. Butter two slices of bread and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- 3. Place the toast between the two slices of bread-and-butter to form a sandwich.
Healthy Variations:
- Add an egg for more protein only adds about 8p to the cost PLUS keep you fuller for longer – also makes it taste a bit nicer.
- Add half a can of sardines for more fat costs about 19p adds some fish to your diet and again helps you to feel fuller for longer.
- For more nutrients try adding some vegetables, such as cucumbers or carrots or some tomatoes.
- As a naughty treat add a small amount of grated cheese.
