Heather’s Choice –

What can I wear? - www.whatcaniwear.com
Lilian Waud- Found on the Rural Marketplace- http://www.wireuk.org/directory.aspx?member=1992

I don’t need any excuse to look through the Rural Marketplace and spend money! I came across Lilians’ website while looking for another members listing and what a find! The logo caught my eye first so I had to click and explore! It is a fantastic website, easy to use and full of great tips. I really liked the ‘where you like to shop’ which is an array of recommended websites from Lilians’ avid followers – it was great to see other WiRE members here which made it the perfect listing for me! I have signed up for the newsletter so can’t wait to receive that!

It’s definitely worth a look . . . . or two!!!
