At the weekend I told you all about the exciting project I’ve been asked to be involved in, where I am supporting Tutbury Eco Power in Staffordshire, in their bid to win £75,000 in the competition hosted by Energyshare (whose founding partners are River Cottage and British Gas). If you are a fan of Three […]
I might not have the best Eco credentials in the world as a blogger, in fact I’ve looked briefly at politics and the riots, but I don’t think I’ve covered green issues yet, although I do love saving money and recycling has always appeared to be sensible to me, with or without global warming. Well […]
I’m a big fan of jewelry, especially anything sparkly! But when I got my TK Maxx dress, I realised that I was in trouble. I needed something much more subtle around my neck than I would normally go for, and something more striking on my wrist. Plus there was a little too much blue going on […]
So loads of people have been commenting about whether bloggers in general are blaggers, or whether it’s just the new ones, just mummy bloggers or just a small group or large group of them. Then there was a particular incident where a ‘Real Mum’ (how self-righteous is that title) decided to have a go at […]
I’m not here today! I’m over at Featureworld in an article I was asked to write on Top tips on how I managed to be a successful mummy blogger: http://sellyourstoryuk.com/2011/10/26/success-blogging/ Now I admit to coughing on my cup of tea when Alison asked me to write this post! I was a bit kind of ‘who me?’. […]
At last I’ve managed to show you the official pictures of my gorgeous TK Maxx dress for the MAD Blog Awards. I totally learnt two lessons from this: 1) Shop as though someone else is paying, because it made me more imaginative (it wouldn’t actually have cost me more) 2) Go shopping with friends and make the most […]
I was listening to a piece of music yesterday and was instantly sitting on a roof at sunset in Kenya, surrounded by big hairy rugby/hockey players, meditating. Obviously! Music is amazing isn’t it, the way it can transport us back in time to places. It was a really magical holiday. We have no idea how […]
Drum roll ……… Today is the announcement of the winner of the winner for my Radio Flyer Competition which was provided by the very generous Wagon Company. It’s been such a popular competition with 123 entries, Wow! Which is fabulous, but also means I feel a touch guilty about the people who lose. So I thought I’d talk […]
I have HUGE thank you’s for you guys, because you put fingers on the keys and voted for me for the MAD Blog awards ‘Small business category’, and even better I actually WON!!!! I’ve got to write this post, because my acceptance speech consisted of slightly muffled ‘sob’ … ‘thank you’ .. ‘sob’ .. ‘OMG’ […]
We might not all be able to afford a personal shopper, but we all have mates. (Mind you I don’t think that all personal shoppers cost money, it’s just that they cost money in persuasion!). So why not treat yourself to a shopping trip with a few friends, especially if you would like to pick […]
