I am 10

Hard to believe it’s been 10 years. Can’t actually quite think what to blog about tonight – I’ll be better tomorrow.

So I’m going to have a rootle around the archives and dig out 10 posts for your delight and delectation.

My favourite post – this is a tough one. But I think it’s Where I’m from.

Or it might be unheard cheerleaders.

Or maybe missing my mojo

OK, so you got a top three. Savour them.

Best comment thread – has to be It’s time. Anyone for toast?

Irritating post with most views? Cascading snow christmas tree (No, I don’t understand either. Not the post or the views.)

Worst pun in a title? This one, like the one above is courtesy of my other half. Glory at the weapons of mouse destruction.

Most argumentative comment thread? Be careful how you write about marriage.

I’d better throw in something about home education or school or something hadn’t I? How about School, huh, yeah, what is it good for? (Please feel free to sing along.)

And maybe we’d better have some family related stuff. A birth story?

And finally? I’m not sure how to choose a tenth post. There are 4000+ posts on this blog. They cover every aspect of my life – birth of babies, miscarriages. Job losses, new jobs. Moving house, going on holiday. Pretty much everything is in these archives somewhere. Tell you what – why don’t you guys choose the number 10? Are there any posts of mine you remember? Let me know about them in the comments box.

And here’s to the next ten. You might want to check back tomorrow as well – I’m starting the next ten years with another fabulous giveaway 😉 Enjoy.

  2. Just looked, 675 posts from me. That is a lot, over one a week for a decade. All the good stuff is over here….

      675 published posts?? Really? Or are half of them still in draft?

  3. Well done on 10 years of blogging. Hope we reach that milestone. 🙂

      Thank you, it has flown by. Sort of.

  4. Wow, you must be the original blogger. 10 years ago I had dial-up email but my computer was so slow I never went on the web for anything, I’d never even heard of blogs.
