New blog posts 2nd October to 8th October

[PetiteRaleuse]

Happy Sundays everyone. I have started the week with a rant about the Zara Mike non story in the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday. Here.

Have commented on your blogs. Love that the blogs we have on this thread are so varied.

I agree - there is so much good stuff to read just from these weekly threads

And they bring a lot of hits. Maybe it is just us reading each other's blogs and we don't actually have any other readers.

Have posted a link on Twitter, inviting other MN bloggers to the thread.

Saw that was a good idea. I agree I get more hits from this thread and far fewer from the BN roll since there are more and more members.

I have done my second post for the day on life insurance. It's a sponsored post, though I wrote it myself, and believe in what I wrote. I just had to link to the sponsor. Here it is

Good post, Petite. Have commented.

Would you normally state that it was a sponsored post?

And if I were to be asked to endorse something I believed in, then I would not see it as a sell out.

If you had endorsed the Daily Mail...

Hello! I've tottered over from Twitter!

I've been making treasure chests this week. Mr Tumble sandwich should be going up tomorrow.

I'm loving all these new blogs to look at. I need that Green Tomato Salsa recipe!

Welcome Gertie

Thanks MmeL. As this was my first I don't know. Ideally yes, I would say so, but wasn't sure what to do.

Ha ha I very much doubt the DM would want me to endorse them. I really should start emailing them my rants when I have a bored moment

(Btw, hope it is okay to post here, I'm registered but waiting approval. Come on MN, I'm going to start taking it personally if you sit on my approval much longer!!)

Hello Gertie. Off to have a gander at your blog.

Yes, do post here, even if you have not been approved it. MNHQ have had a backlog of blogs. When did you apply?

Oh, I love your blog, Gertie. Really very original.

I applied about 5 days ago, so probably they're still getting around to me then. (I love your blog Mme, btw. You will spot it on the blogroll on my blog! I feel a bit like a fangirl now...)

Oh wow, and she likes my blog.
Thank you, that's made my day. :)

oh, that is lovely

Time I did a blogroll. I set one up when I started but when I clicked on the links all the people had stopped blogging, so I got rid of it. Maybe now am on MN network it's time to set one up again.

Gertie I recognise your blog - came across it before - it's fun.

Petite, I tried to comment but iPhone won't let me
Here's what I was going to say:

I completly agree - i had critical illness insurance and thank goodness I did! Go for it. I have been thinking along similar lines re memory boxes but an online version ie my blog. Have you thought about how you'd want to be remembered? I'm posting on this soon I think.

MmeLindor and anyone else interested in today's Daily Fail massive error: statement released by Press Gazette here: www.pressgazette.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=47981&c=1

Thanks for your comment stitch. Have I thought about how I would like to be remembered? Yes. Shall think about posting on that one.

Wow Mme well done catching DM's mistake! I read it yesterday but as I wasn't following the news I had no idea it was all a fake!

SCS next year try out the 100s and 1000s mini tomatoes they are really sweet and kids love them ;) Love the poem Babies Don't Keep as well

Purple, crows feet just meant that you are a happy person, its good! ;p Anyway why is it sexy on men but not us eh?!

Petite, Newsthump was proper hilarious lol! Ooo thanks for the reminder, haven't got that insurance sorted yet :o

Hello Gertie! I haven't been approved yet either ;p Loved your poem about teething. My 4 mths old started chewing on my nippie :'(

Is blogroll a list of blogs you follow? Sorry I'm still trying to familiar myself with bloggers terms! I have one too, already a fan of some of you from just these weekly post hehe!

Nothing much from me but my Redlove apple tree (Sry suddenly felt like ryhming ) Going to try out Dilly's yogurt cake as soon as my baby will let me!

Yes angie it's a list of blogs you follow or want to recommend to your readers.

Newsthump, along with the Daily Mash, are my favourite spoof news sites. As well as the Daily Mail of course

I was bought a lemon tree a couple of years ago. It arrived with lots of fruit on it. All I had to do was keep it alive. I failed miserably, so you can be very pleased with your apple, you got forther than I did with my lemons!

I learnt the hard way that keeping plants alive isn't as easy as I thought lol. Still considering paving the whole garden!
