        That's a little bit of a hard question to answer.  Believing that nothing's changed with your website, over that time, and assuming you have original content, I'd take a look at your backlinks. I see that you have a handful of links with  joolma and press release websites, that might be the culprit right there.  Google's always looking to devalue those links.
        Also, your website's showing up as a PR2 to me.

          Toolbar page rank (which is the PR that you're seeing) is only updated infrequently and doesn't necessarily reflect the internal Page Rank that Google uses. More important questions are:

          Have you had any warnings or notices in Google Webmaster Tools?

          Has your traffic from Google changed?

          Have your conversions changed?

          Have your rankings changed?

            nothing has seemed to have changed. the page rank tool i am using is the firefox tool bar so there must be something wrong.

            I need to try and work out why i have lost two page ranks. i use the pr sites a few times a month to promote things so maybe i should stop using them and i have now pointed most of my lost links to relevant pages as well as to my home page.

              If your traffic, conversions, and rankings haven't changed, I wouldn't sweat losing a few green pixels on a toolbar.

                The page rank for your website is 2, thats what i can see.

                Most important thing for you is to see if there is any  dramatic change in traffic, rankings and pages indexed by google.

                You also have to check inner pages PR, if these pages also have drop in PR as compared to  past?

                Do also check for warning in google webmaster tools.

                If Answer for above questions is NO, don't worry and focus on your Linkbuilding and other SEO efforts.
