There are so many fantastic sites here that I wanted to make sure I didn't miss any, so I have put them all into a spreadsheet with a brief description for each one (I have tried to stick with the originator's comments where possible).

I would love to upload the spreadsheet here, for everyone to use, but don't know how to do that - can anyone help me with that ? Moderators ??

Sorry. It's not possible to upload any attachments on to this site. Thanks for the thought.

I found the following website really interesting (if not useful)
Gives information & Statistics about the countries of the world.
Cia Factbook

This one lets you select what ingredients are in your cupboard/fridge/whatever and conjures up a recipe for you.
Cooking by numbers.com

I thought this site may be of interest to parents who school their child at home or want to help their child with their school work etc.

This one is just for the guys. To offer men candid advice, that is useful, practical and entertaining. AskMen.com address issues regarding dating, women, fashion, money, fitness, and entertainment. Offering advice that is too complicated or unrealistic does not serve any viable purpose, therefore it deals with topics that can be incorporated into men's daily lives.
Unlike other men's sites or magazines, AskMen.com updates every day, with new articles that focus on matters that men deem relevant and practical. The site also provides men with helpful suggestions for everything from career advice and first dates, to gifts and efficient cars. Its objective is to help men.

Site that searches all the major job boards so you don't have to, just input the criteria for the job you are after and they will seek out all the jobs that match up and send them back your inbox.
