Sorry about that! Hopefully it will mean the site doesn't go down so much (been down a few times recently as I'm sure you've noticed) I'm also off on hols to Niue for a week early hours of Sat so I prey nothing goes wrong with the migration! They don't always get it right 1st time I'm noticing. Hopefully I'll be able to jump on to the internet once there and resolve any issues.

I plan to spend so much time snorkelling that I come back looking like a wrinkly old prune! Catch you all in a week :)
