Chicandra Tarot Reading

This is for a UK wide tarot reading service, with live tarots available from 2pm-2am, with THE SHADOW making a comeback in the early hours.

CJ's Candy Jar.

It's a sweet shop in Glasgow, Scotland selling old fashioned sweets from a jar, you know the type, candy balls, sweet peanuts, bon bons and the like. They also sell pick 'n' mix sweets and counter lines like popping candy and gobstoppers.

If you are in the area of Mount Florida in Glasgow, pop in and see them, if you also mention this site, you'll get an extra 10% off your purchases, cool eh! B)

With work nearing completion on the new forum, it looks ever likely that the old one will be closed down, this is sad as it was a very enjoyable experience maintaining that forum and watching it grow to over 3,000 members. :p

But the owners wanted their own forum on their own server to avoid any extra costs that hosting it elsewhere involves.

It will close on March 1st and will be moved to it's new location which is secret for now. ;)
