These are blogs to do with the blog, like reviews, memes etc
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Thank You To All My Readers! It’s certainly been a memorable year this year with many ups and downs and I figure that 2012 will be even more so. Just in case any of you guys turned up half way through the year, I thought I’d do a […]
I am so chuffed about this competition to win a gorgeous Joe Browns Navajo Coat worth £89.95; just look at that gorgeous lining, which will flash every time you walk or put it on and off. This coat says ‘I’m happy to stand out, I’m gorgeous, I’m sparkly, I’m bored of being dull’, ‘I might […]
Do you need ideas for those difficult presents? Well I have two ways of helping you in this post: Ideas and a competition for a fabulous £100 hamper. (Actually I recommend keeping the hamper or giving it to me, and buying the presents!). What I’d really like to say to the men ‘who never need […]
How did that happen, Curly Headed Boy is now 6 years old? (Yes, it is a rhetorical question, I kind of get that time passes, I just never knew it could be so quick and never imagined what it would be like for him to keep getting older and older!). Would you like an idea […]
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 […]
Do you ever mention war to your children? Curly Headed Boy is nearly 6 and often plays computer games with the big hairy Northern Hubby, including World of Warcraft (an adult game). I was shocked to find that he was quite flippant about death one day, so I talked him through the fact that death […]
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?’. […]
