    checking out Rhonda Jean's blog (now one of my "regular look-ins") and took a particular fancy to an article she mentioned today. So for those of you who dont trundle through blogs regularly I give below what I feel is a particularly good article to read:

    I can really relate to her 1 December entry!

    (Well admit folks - if I didnt keep posting all these blogs you would have to actually do some housework! :rotfl: )

    (not a moneysaver one - but rather attractive)

    Hey look at the entry for yesterday 5th Jan! She's added a counter to her blog which allows her to find out where people have come from.....and she's found us here on MSE! Ceridwen - your post gets a mention!

    Thanks for that - just gone over and had a looksee. Now quite amused at getting that mention!

    Me - I'm not computer-literate enough to have a blog of my own! though some might feel this thread and my other main one - the "Simplifying Life" are feeling a lot like a communal blog - lol.
