New blog posts 25th Sept - 1 Oct

[FlamingoBingo]

Going to kick off this week's new blog posts with my weekly links post.

They have been down a bit but I thought/think it's because I've not been telling anyone about my posts

A short Rant about the use of the pictures of Michael Jackson's corpse.

About my next task of finding the right secondary school for my son (who has SEN)

Updated sooner than planned due to request so if you are wondering do boys cry

Today's post is about my love for The House of Eliott.

My blog is on a bit of a hiatus at the moment as I've just started writing my fourth novel and it's sucking my will to write anything else out of me at the moment.

I RTed your blog, but have not yet commented on it. Will do when I get the chance, agree with you (as usual)

Thx MmeL

Mme am a little behind, just seen the Saudi post - wow.

The Saudi post shocked me! It's so surreal that this actually goes on. Puts into perspective the things that wind us up about England really.

Thanks for commenting! I get all excited when I get the 'you have a comment' email!

I have started my Christmas list already and have come across the the politics of buying presents.

my mummy confessions

Just wrote another blog post, about my favourite beach, Holkham

The mummy confessions were hilarious!

MmeLindt did I tell you I grew up in Saudi? It used to make me so mad, the injustice and unfairness of women not being able to drive, and it would make my mum even madder. It really is crazy.

The incident in Saudi makes me want to have driving lessons and try to get my license. I've started to feel a bit grim about having to always get lifts from my husband, like an errant teen and this just makes me feel even grimmer.

I have thrilling news of new Playmobil , and a whole bunch of posts about social media, if that's your bag.

Working my way through your posts.

You really should learn to drive. I didn't until I was about 26yo and could not believe what a difference it made to my life. Just being able to jump in the car and go - freedom.

I have dyspraxia so have never been sure how safe I would be. I used to drive an old Citroen around the estate when I was growing up but have never actually driven on a public road.

I've heard though that some instructors will take on people with dypraxia although I may only be able to drive an automatic. I'll look into it a bit more and see.

It would be worth finding out, MmeG. You can take a few lessons and see if you enjoy it, you don't have to commit yourself.

I didn't know you had dyspraxia.

I have commented on your blog, and am following you on Twitter .

MmeG I have a friend with dyspraxia - he has his licence but doesn't like driving much. Maybe worth getting in case of emergency?

Mme, I try not to talk about it and The Other Thing because I don't want people to pre-judge me.

I wasn't a bad driver when I was let loose in fields as a teenager but, like I said, I don't know what I would be like on a road. Weirdly, I often dream that I am driving so perhaps it won't be so bad. I get flustered very easily so am not sure I'd find it very enjoyable.

Tbh, I'm mostly only thinking about it because my 6yo asks on a weekly basis why I don't drive a car 'like all the other mummies'. I'm embarrassing apparently... ;)

Pirates - I read and commented on your post :) Well done!

Misdee - glad to find more sling-addicts!

MmeLindor - have tweeted/FBd etc. Very important issue.
