    never heard of most of these sites gosh must lead a sheltered life lol
    Those we love don't go away,They walk beside us every day,Unseen, unheard, but always near,
    Still loved, still missed and very dear
    Our thoughts are ever with you,Though you have passed away.And those who loved you dearly,
    Are thinking of you today.

    Good site but hardly a freebie?

    But in a way it is!!!
    It saves a lot of free time....think about it, what's more precious than time that you can use elsewhere finding more freebies!!!! lol!

    There were a couple of places that I don't/haven't been on, so I reckon someone else chose the same name as me.

  • I don't think its accurate.
    I typed in my surname & it says its being used on a few sites.
    I doubt that very much as my surname is unusual.

    I agree. After putting in 3 of my regular email names 2 sites claimed they were taken. It was always the same sites and further investigation allowed me to sign up using these names. Apart from these though, I am happy to note that my 3 names are only used by me :j

    Thanks matty! :D

    Hi Ms Unusual.
    I typed in your surname "unusual" and I got 21 hits, lol
    It dose not matter how unusual your username is, It is only the fist person that registers it on each site that can use it. If your username is being used 21 times it dose not necessary mean it is being used 21 times by the same person.
    GONE ENGLAND
