New blog posts - 30th October to 5th November

[MmeGuillotine]

Hello! I'm shaking with nerves here as this is the first time I've created a new thread on Mumsnet and this is a terrifying and rather momentous occasion. What if I do it wrong?!

Anyway, here's the inaugural post and it is, I think, a GOOD one:

A guest post about actors looking hot in Roman armour.

You're welcome. ;)

Seriously that pimpmysnack shit is not only addictive viewing but I also get a massive yearning to make a GIGANTOR sweetie myself.

(This is why I stay off this thread - HUGE derail from normal blog postings to violet creams, violet cream, rose syrup, love floral, violet cream, massive pimp my snack, etc etc)

there are mumsnet awards? what are they for?

my post on mammy woos mme, music as therapy blog post I was actually going to take a week off blogg as I'd blogged so m uch in October, but no couldn't stay away. I think I am addicted to it now.

MN family friendly awards, for companies.

Don't talk about the MN awards

Anyone like to join in?

I have done my first ever photo blogpost starring my dog. Well, it's Friday and I am procrastinating.

Crappy life stuff going on. Still blogging, just not posting here much - sorry.

Anyway, posted a guest post about baby-wearing on Wednesday.

And today have a parent interview with the author, Julie Cohen.

I've got a cold and am [http://mymumdom.com/2011/11/04/the-curse-of-the-common-cold feeling very sorry for myself]] today.

I wrote this Top Tip for new boots which is getting loads of views but hardly any comments - understandable really - everyone's probably queued up at their local cobblers.

And I can't remember if I linked my guest post about Remembrance Day memories or not - but you can reach it through that link.

Thanks I love this thread - finding a few new blogs that I had no idea existed before.

Today's post is about one of the books I am working on at the moment.

I'm a bit quiet right now as I'm trying to get them both ready for the agent who asked to have a look at them and I've had terrible writer's block lately so it's a struggle!

This week's been all about the vegetables. Another easy recipe, this time a spiced cauliflower.

Spiced Cauliflower

Where is Mammasaurus' post by the way? I want to go and tell off that rude woman who commented on her blog.

Three short blogs:-

Christmas Wrapping

Christmas day outfits

Christmas music

should your child change themselves to fit in - and article by my regular contributor, Suzy, that I wholeheartedly agree with!

Another recipe, this time for couscous

I'm getting a stream of page hits from a Russian search engine... does anyone know why?

Hmm. Seems no one is interested in the blog hop. Do you think it is too much work?

Link not working at the moment, but hardly anyone has said that they woudl write a post.

Won't do it again if there is no interest. Shame though, cause I am getting a lot of hits at the moment for some reason and would be good to share them about.

I would have joined in, MmeLindor, but my site's not the right site to do it on, unfortunately

I was going to join in this morning, but the link was down. So I ranted about NaNoWriMo and how I already set myself up to fai the taregt but I'm not bothered because the 5000 words I've already done is the most I have ever done towards a fiction book.

Grace I'm getting a lot from a Russian search engine too. This morning I suddenly, within seconds of posting the NanoWriMo thing got 500 hits from some site I then clicked on and was told that some user have got 0.06 credits for me having followed the link.
