Happy April everyone,

We hope you had a great Easter break and are enjoying spring with its blossom, baby lambs, daffodils and rain! And for some of us, a water drought until Christmas time! It's been busy here at DeskDemon - did you read in our Forums about the PA who was sacked for being too short and too young? Whatever next! What's New at DeskDemon is chockablock this month - so let's get cracking.

We have two fantastic competitions for you. You could win a luxury weekend at a 16th century Inn or £100 M&S gift cards in return for feedback on DeskDemon. Your thoughts are really important to us in the continuing development of the site, so please spare five minutes filling out our DeskDemon Survey.

In our 'Get Organised' competition we're giving away a Dymo LabelManager PnP labelling machine every week for ten weeks. Enter your best organisational tip and, as well as, the opportunity to win the Dymo LabelManager PnP, you'll also be entered into a draw to win a £250 spa day!

Like to review a Dymo Touch Screen labelling machine for us? Use it for two weeks, write a review and keep the machine! We give you guidance of what to include and your review will be published on DeskDemon. Click here to register your interest. We are always looking for reviewers for products, restaurants, venues, etc - to be added to our Reviewers List please email admin@deskdemon.com

We have some fabulous offers for you not to be missed this month:
- great meeting venues with free internet access with InterContinental - and a free upgraded coffee break too!

- fancy a free limited edition USB Stick? Get yours free when you buy a Stabillo Boss Pack of 48 highlighters - such fun colours too!
- and finally, why not register for The Business Travel Market Event on 13-14 June in London for free training sessions and much more.
