On the Ills of being Ill

 

Apologies folks I have been away far longer than a week.

 

The culprit is none other than the ‘bug’ who masquerades under many aliases but is more commonly known as the dreaded virus or viral infection. Any minor ailment that cannot be classified is usually attributed to a viral infection. 

 

And it was this same viral infection which attacked me mercilessly leaving me drained and unable to blog for over a week or should I say too weak!!!

 

Having run the gamut of nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea I think I can safely say that I am no admirer or close companion of the now deceased ‘bug’ may he rest in peace.

 

Getting back to my duty in hand Givingworldonline.com has seen some brisk activity. Anyone who has been watching the site will notice changes on the home page. New features are being added daily and old ones are being tweaked and teased into better behaviour.

 

We are seeing many new registrations – welcome everyone. It’s great to know that many more organisations across the UK will be accessing free business surplus to meet the needs of those they serve.

 

A great deal is going on behind the scenes all of which will be revealed in due course.
