These are blogs to do with the blog, like reviews, memes etc
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’ […]
So there’s a new facebook, and all the pallaver that goes with people adjusting to the new stuff.

We all love the stories of the people who managed to succeed against all the odds, with loads of hard work; it’s the under dog effect isn’t it? At the moment I’m listening to a song whenever I go running called ‘Jimmy’ by a new band called Jon Paul Palombo who I saw performing at […]
I am soooo excited! My first every competition is going to be for the most amazing prize, a Radio Flyer from The Wagon Company. What is a Radio Flyer you might ask, and why would I want one? Well initially I just thought that it looked like a nice red trailer that my kids might like to play […]
Sally Whittle, the organiser of the MADs Blog Awards, really likes to see me look daft! I love her blog, and it brightens my day, so here is my present for her! You see, I’ve been wondering whether I should be practicing my faces for the awards ceremony in SIXTEEN DAYS TIME? Yes, I am ridiculously excited […]
I confess, I have a bad habit of taking responsibility for stuff that isn’t my shit and getting knackered in the process. I’m about a zillion times better at it than I used to be, but I still have a tendency to be tempted. I think it comes from being a ‘young carer’ as they […]
