Some interesting topics occurring and the frugal living section seems popular
Good to see an interesting debate go on about shopping in the North.

We will have people from five different fields giving their tips.
These are

Selling Brand You
Setting up a business in Ireland

We are also getting some of the voluntary groups enquiring about the site and I always tell them to join the site and let people know what they are looking for.
