I apologise for my absence yesterday. I was very embarrassed when Femina told me there was no post for the day. I made a last minute trip to see family this week and thought I had all the posts ready to go. Seems I was mistaken. Thanks for being patient with me! It was a great chance to check out Operation Skinny Cow though & now that Femina's an author I think we an expect to hear more from her in future!

The response for a round-up Friday was overwhelming so here we go.
