Calm and brave, brave and calm.
These are the ways people keep describing me. At Kentwell, complete strangers in Tudor costume would stop me to smile and say how impressed they were that I was doing it with so many children. And this was usually when I didn’t have *all* the children with me. And as I collapsed into a seat…
Content and calm video competition – sponsored post.
Would you fancy winning a family holiday to a luxury villa in Greece courtesy of Simpson Travel or an all-expenses paid trip to a top UK family attraction? Personally I’d go for the villa. I love Greece. Wonder if it has a pool. Does your child have natural flair in front of the camera? (Um,…
Book giveaway round up, with three signed copies of Prince of Thorns up for grabs.
I’ve been trying to do a book giveaway round up regularly for a while. I’m having another go. I didn’t find a lot of competitions, but here’s a few to keep you going. Plus there’s one from me too at the bottom 🙂 Signed copy of @AlicePeterson1 Ten Years On up for grabs on Rea…
I'm struggling for words today.
I’ve been reading the #ShareNiger stream and blogposts, and it’s getting me down. So many ppl with so little, and we have so much. I went shopping today, filled my trolley for £67 with food that we’ll devour over the next week or so. We don’t eat particularly extravagantly, tonight was our splash out takeaway…
I'm worried #ShareNiger won't be enough.
I’m following the story on twitter. Sponsoring a child in Niger. Quite frankly I’m pestering ppl in an attempt to spread the word – tonight I sent it to two of the ppl who run #SMGirlfriends on twitter, which has massive reach. I’ve talked about it offline too. Told the Scout leader last night. And…
Cybher morning – name, blog and serial number…
Today I’m going to meet lots of ppl. Many of them I know well online, some I’ve met in passing before. Each time I’ve done this previously I’ve got to the end of the day confused as to who I have and haven’t met, I want it to be different this time. I’m hopeless at…
Butlins: Breakfasts, Bob and Balloons.
I know I’ve been blogging quite a bit recently. I also know that I’ve actually rather a backlog of posts, and so I apologise for drowning you in multiple posts a day, but any chance I get near a keyboard, I’m going to be banging them out. Today I’m whisking you all the way back…
Award inspired navel gazing.
Nothing to see here, move along, move along. Oh, OK. There is this. Which surprised me rather. Not only did I not ask for any nominations, I was even a little negative on twitter about the whole award concept – it doesn’t seem to have a lot to do with how good your blog is,…
Is it possible to cut down on spending and waste at the same time?
This is something I’ve been considering carefully over the past few weeks while taking part in Karen’s Rubbish Diet challenge. I was quite pleased with how we managed – our bin this fortnight (including the week after I had a baby at home!) contained 5 carrier bags of waste and a few bits of polystyrene.…
