With Christmas and New Year over and everyone back to work it’s not surprising that so many people suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).

Winter blues

It happens every year; we all receive presents from distant aunties and uncles, grandparents and eccentric friends that quite frankly we wouldn’t give to our worst enemy.

However, one person’s junk is another’s treasure so you could make some sensible money from it to spend on things you actually like!

Get loads of great ideas on what to do with your unwanted Christmas presents, and even how to make some money out of them!

Unwanted presents

Microtransactions have changed the way we interact with video games, and now seem to be changing the very manner in which these games are constructed.

There was an argument at one point for microtransactions, in that they allowed fledgling companies a way to get their games out to the public and make money if they were successful.

But for many people – practically everyone except the gaming companies themselves – that ship sailed quite some time ago.
