Search Engines - they're a bit dull aren't they?

Search Engines - they're a bit dull aren't they?

I am like an overexcited 5 year old when it comes to birthday, Christmas, gadgets, things that are sparkly and these interactive websites, you know the ones that other people TALK to you as well. So when asked to delve around at Cofacio BEFORE everyone else got a look in, well I was they there like a, well erm, with a click.

My initial thoughts were "Ooo this is SIMPLE". I hate websites that take ages to load because they just have TOO much going on. This doesn't. It gets straight to the point. What do you want help with? What can you help others with? It's all terribly polite.

I resisted the urge to say "I want help with my cleaning" and, "Can anyone suggest a good place to take the children in North Yorkshire", but realised as the site gets bigger, as everyone discovers it, THAT is EXACTLY what I can ask, after all I used another well known social media to find a lady who can do my ironing. But it still left me with questions. Why don't I just use google (bing, yahoo - disclaimer any other well known search engine). I answered that myself, internet ain't what it use to be back in 1997. Now companies are internet savvy and doing a quick search yields the companies that have the best people, sat in student like bed sits, doing the stuff I don't understand - you know bumping them up the search listings by writing codes and stuff. What we need, like we always did, like that ever so knowledgeable bloke down the pub (when we were all allowed to go to the pub), is someone who knows a guy who did this or another gal who did it *that* way or quite simply just knows.

So, I have no idea what it is you need help with, nor what you can offer (and knowing you OFFER that expertise wondering if I need it too...). Cofacio will be the place we can all congregate and discuss. And you won't get shouted at for butting into a conversation and giving your 2 pennies worth (so long as it's relevant and you are not truly BARKING mad).

And the nicest thing of all, you actually get rewarded for participating. Well not you, but one of the charities... and the next round of charities could be your little local one - how cool would that be? Cash and publicity for them? Brilliant.

So are search engines a bit dull? They quite probably are but this is more than a search engine, it comes with real people - erm, you and me! So CLICK HERE and try it

Houses

They do say that moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do. And right now, I agree. We've have the stress of no-one wanting to buy but what felt like the WHOLE world wanting to have a nose around. We then sold and it fell apart. And we sold again and we are moving. In 4 weeks to be precise. We have to go, that is that. That is the Scottish way.

As for housework, even DH said "Shall we ignore it now it's not going to be ours much longer?" Duh! Yes! Sunshine. Sea view. Do you REALLY think I want to be cobwebbing and mopping?

So this housewife may need an adjustment in her job description, cos if I ain't got a house, I'm more a fraud than I was before.
