eBay UK search with the location preference set to UK ONLY, rather than the current default which includes overseas sellers (mainly from the US). This is mainly because some overseas items often have a high P&P or a long wait time until arrival. Plus anything that costs over £15 might attract extra customs duty if from outside the EU.

(Golden Egg)
An online break reminder. Basically it will bug you to take a break every 30 minutes (you can configure the time interval). If you're not ready to take a break yet, you can snooze for 5 minutes (again, you can configure this time interval), after which it will bug you again. Go away, rest your eyes, and when you come back, hit the big Restart button -- this will reset the clock back to 30 minutes. Example: timer 45
