eHarmony UK free communications weekend 28-31 August 09

eHarmony UK are having another one of their popular free comms weekends this coming weekend. Register before/during to make use of the site’s features for free for a whole weekend and see what it’s all about.

Because of the slow and cautious nature of the site, I suggest you register before the weekend, to give the site a chance to match you up with people you might actually want to talk to using the free features!
