Hmm? I am waiting for MNHQ to approve my application. Do I need to bribe with chocolate, do you think?

Ooh I saw that yesterday and will try to join. You've also reminded me to update my blog - it's been a crap week with ill children so haven't had the time. I love your blog btw!

spamm · 21/04/2011 02:12

MMeLindt - you have managed the impossible and made me miss Switzerland with your blog! Great writing - I will follow from now on!

MmeSurvivedLent · 21/04/2011 08:16

Hurrah. Thanks for compliments. Am not home at the mo so neglecting blog this week.

I love CH, Spamm. Did you live there?

hambo · 22/04/2011 23:14

Im waiting too....exciting!

spamm · 23/04/2011 03:42

Mme Lindt -Sorry, been away. I grew up just outside Morges, in a village called Apples. I know CH very well, but now live in the US, via the UK for 14 years. I have never really missed CH, it is a beautiful place and a fantastic place to grow up, but did not want to stay there as an adult. Felt it was too oppressive, although I am sure it is changing all the time.

Just applied now!
Very exciting.
I wonder what the Blogger Club will all be about :)

bronze · 26/04/2011 16:57

Been off mn for a while. what is the bloggers network thing?

Tee2072 · 26/04/2011 17:06

I applied but not heard anything, I assume because of the holidays.

butterflyexperience · 27/04/2011 15:51

I had an email from MNHQ saying they are catching up due to holidays, so perhaps we will hear somthing next week.

RubberDuck · 27/04/2011 15:53

Link please?

RubberDuck · 27/04/2011 15:54

Ah never mind, apparently having a sore throat means my eyes don't work Grin

RubberDuck · 27/04/2011 15:55

Hmm, does the blog itself have to be about parenting? Mine's veered away from that now the kids are older.

bronze · 27/04/2011 15:55

It's at the top here

Am going to apply now

bronze · 27/04/2011 15:58

Actually having got further into the process I'm not aso ssure I want to.

It makes me feel uncomfortable

RubberDuck · 27/04/2011 16:00

Yes, I'm concerned that real name is effectively linked to it - doesn't help that I use a different pseudonym and email address for my blog.

I suspect that this will get convoluted, fast!

onesandwichshort · 27/04/2011 16:04

I agree; don't want my blog very linked to my MN persona either. And it's about graphic design, so don't suppose it's going to grab a huge MN audience in any case...

Tee2072 · 27/04/2011 16:30

I think the real name part is for MNHQ, but I could be wrong. I do think it's a bit vague on that, although I don't personally care since my Blog is Tee's Blog. Grin

But I can see how some might want to keep MN and their blog separate.

Onesandwichshort, I'm a Graphic designer, I would love to see your blog if you wouldn't mind PMing me a link?

MmeSurvivedLent · 27/04/2011 20:46

sorry, am not around much at the moment. in PIL purgatory at present.

My name is the same on blog and here, so not bothered about that, but did not even occur to me that MNHQ would link in real names.

spamm
morges is a charming little place, across the water from where we are. would love to live in a village called apples. How sweet.

I just joined and am awaiting approval.

overmydeadbody · 03/05/2011 08:21

bronze why does it make you feel uncomfortable? You have me worried now...

bronze · 03/05/2011 08:34

I don't know it just felt like mn were too involved in my blog
more gut than anything

butterflyexperience · 03/05/2011 09:00

I also have not heard back from them, however have noticed them having a clean up on the Bloggers topic.

Perhaps we will hear this week.

BigBadMummy · 03/05/2011 13:44

Waving too. Recently started blogging, and only just seen this new corner of MN.

Have applied too.

Sitting up straight and waiting for Miss to let me know if I am in.

overmydeadbody · 03/05/2011 16:28

Interesting bronze. I don't want MN involved in my blog, I shall go and read the small print again. I just thought it would be somewhere where blogging MNers could get support from each other etc., rather than MNHQ being involved?
