? Never forget another Birthday, Anniversary or Dental Appointment ?
I am sure that we have all had that feeling. Suddenly you remember that it is your friend or brother's birthday or, even worse, your anniversary and it's too late to get to the shops to buy a card or present
Well those days can be well and truly over now. AboutMyGeneration has introduced an Event Reminder feature. This allows you to record all your future events and have both a message displayed when you login to AMG and be sent an E Mail as a reminder. Events can be either a single date or occur weekly, monthly or annually.
If the frequency is single, monthly or annually you will get an E Mail reminder a week in advance, if the event is weekly then you will get an E Mail a day in advance. It is really simple to set up and once you have recorded your dates you will have the peace of mind that you will never forget another important event. To find out how to set up your events read the online guide by clicking here...

Blog your way to the bank
Start your own on the site, for free
If ever there were an incentive to start blogging, it must be the story of Judith O’Reilly, whose grumbling chronicle has just earned her £70,000. After just six weeks of airing her frustrations on the net about moving to the rural North, she has struck a deal to turn her angst into a book. The trials and difficulties of living with her husband, children and elderly parents have proved so popular that she is now being hailed as a middle-aged Bridget Jones. So what are you waiting for? Share your experiences of life online. Tell us how you are coping with empty nest syndrome, retirement, living alone, elderly parents, new hobbies, holidays, teenage children or the myriad of highs and lows that is mid-life. Get to your keyboard – you will certainly find some kindred spirits and who knows where it all might lead. How do you create your own blog? Click here... for the guide.
Review Panel News
AMG has just run a wine tasting with the Blue Nun range of wines. The interesting results will soon be published on the site. We are still looking for members who would like to join our Review Panel. You must be prepared to sample consumer products and then either write a review or answer a questionnaire. Products that have already been tested include toothbrushes and tea. Next product lined up for review is the McDougalls "Lets Cook" range featuring some yummy items like Chewy Flapjacks and Mini Muffins.
If you are interested then please mail us at admin@aboutmygeneration.com with "Review Panel" in the subject line and your User Name in the mail. We will then contact you when products need to be reviewed. You can of course elect not to test certain products.
