I received my Secret Santa gift from my secret Aussie Blogger pal last week. Of course I know who it is, as they kindly signed the card, so not that secret but it was a lovely surprise to get the gift in the mail and my kids are completely jealous and that’s the main thing [...]
Just a quick note to point you towards Chuck Westerbrook’s blog where he is conducting a blogging experiment to highlight and throw some loving towards blogs with great content but perhaps low readership.

Oh not of the house – c’mon you know me better than that! This site. As you know I’ve been plagued by slow download times. Well, after numerous communications with my host – iPower – they seem to have been resolved. According to them, my fault. They say they found some viral code in my [...]
