There was a two hour break after the close of yesterday’s sessions at the Digital Parents Conference before the dinner and drinks were scheduled to begin.

I have the pleasure of being able to share with readers today an exciting 2012 ‘Thrifty Thursday’ partnership Miscellaneous Mum has made with Savers Australia – The Recycle Superstore.
