Some people use one email address for everything… I use 15 different email addresses because I have different ones for different things – for example I buy and sell things on ebay so if I buy things on one ebay account I sell it on the other and to get a different ebay account you need a different email address. So that’s one reason. Then I have different Facebook accounts for different hobbies so one group of people I know through one subject don’t get bombarded with messages about another subject they have no interest… and so on it goes.

So he put a call out for people to go on the walk with him and several people seemed interested, but when it came down to it, just like last time the final tally was Team MX, Printerfixerman, Lady the dog and myself.

My 2,750th Cache – not that I saw much of the Mega as I was sat on the UK Cache Mag stall all day so saw nothing of what else was going on ! Continue reading →

It was the Mega in less than a week and I was on 2747 finds… After making the Mega #2000 last year I was hardly going to make it 2748 this time so I needed a couple of cache finds in the week to make it a suitable number.
