I've literally just discovered that Scotland has voted NO to independence. Its an issue I've not really taken too much notice of because it's not something I can vote on. But last night it started to dawn on me that voting yes would be such a nightmare! So I'm pleased with the vote. I'm a quarter Scottish you know! Actually, yesterday I was told that this fact was obvious... errr not quite sure how!
I've needed to refurbished my website for a good year now. This week I've managed to get the majority of it done. It is very nearly ready to launch... Just in time for my announcement. It is almost as if I planned it, huh!
I didn't go off and write yesterday, like I said I would yesterday. I think I will today.
In a few hours my iPhone will be here, which makes me geekingly happy.

I'm hoping that by the end of this challenge (30th September) I will be allowed to share. So, for the next twenty days, I will give you a yellow brick at the end of each (or most) of my blog entries. With each brick will be a clue pointing towards what my top secret secret is! You can all have one guess each day. The first person to guess correctly will win a Mystery MB from me. I will NOT tell you if you're right or wrong until I know I am allowed to announce. If I am allowed to announce before the end of the 30DBC, the clues will become more obvious.
So, to sum up, use my daily clues to guess my secret. Be the first and you'll win a Mystery MB.
