Understood - thanks.


I can't release the next newsletter just yet because (a) I haven't yet
completed any of the steps you mentioned in your reply, (b) my 3rd
child was born just a few days ago and so sleep is my first priority.
I hope to have a draft newsletter completed within a week.  Sorry it's
likely to take so long but I can't go any quicker.


May you always be Frugal,

Russell Dickenson (AKA phayz)
