I think it's pretty well known that I hate Mummy Bloggy sites, I havn't made a secret of it, but just a word of caution if you're occasionally comp on a mobile or on a mobile connection via a tablet.

I was just on a page there that was loading pretty slowly (as they mostly all do) so I did a wee size check and there was over 300 connections going out of the page and the size was 34MB (just for one page with a Rafflecopter).

This is A LOT for one page, so just be wary of this if you're comping on a mobile connection as these will eat into your allowance and if you go over your allowance it does incur quite high fees.

Fine on a computer or laptop (as long as you don't have a data allowance), or on WIFI ... just be wary if your using a mobile connection through a sim card.

  • I've given up on these, and pretty much every comp that uses the new rafflecopter. They take so long to load I could have entered 5 comps in that time and all for something that costs less than £20.
    Make £10 per day-
    June: £100/£300
  • I always think these will lead to very embarrassed offspring when they grow up and cannot remove a detailed account of their potty training or some such from the web.
