Bye Entrecard.

As some of my readers will be aware, Ive been working away for the past couple of weeks, I enjoyed my time away but have enjoyed being away from Entrecard more than that, So i have decided that Entrecard has to go. I will still continue to blog for the meantime but will make a decision whether or not to give it all away in the near future.

Thank you to all those fantastic people ive met on Entrecard and i hope to have future contact with many of you.

Best of luck to everyone and i wish you all the greatest of success with your blogs. Read More......

Not posting

As most of you will be aware, I haven't posted for quite some time, Well, it will be a while longer yet before i do.
I'm currently working in the beautiful south island city of Christchurch in New Zealand and i wont be home for a couple of weeks, So my posting etc will have to wait, My lovely wife has been doing my dropping for me but who knows how long she will do it for.
If i get kicked out of Entrecard for not posting, then so be it. Some of us have a life away from blogging.

Thank you everybody. Read More......
