Not sure if it's technically allowed to start the next weeks blog posts a couple of hours before schedule, so let me know if I'm out of line and I will dutifully sit at the back of the class. Xmas Blush Besides... I've probably done it incorrectly anyway!

Late Sat night and I'm trying to work out how to stay sexy and also warm simultaneously..... Thermal Lingerie? Does it even exist?

Hi there, I'm new to Mumsnet Bloggers! I write a family foodie blog www.chezfoti.com with lots of hearty and wholesome family recipes, I try to blog a new one every couple of days. My latest blog is a brilliant Christmas Pudding recipe handing down from my Great Granny: chezfoti.com/2011/12/02/my-great-grannys-christmas-pudding/

Here is latest post about the changes to the CSA, and what it means for single mums.

Mine is less cheerful, but hey... kamel-mail.blogspot.com/2011/12/cloudy-days.html

PetiteRaleuse · 05/12/2011 15:45

overmydeadbody blue is my favourite colour. What beautiful pictures.

Just a warning to you all, or those that have gmail accounts - I'm getting heaps of spam from people pretending to be from gmail asking me to confirm account information, passwords etc. I'm sure none of you will fall for it but just wanted to warn you.

Welcome chezfoti from another MNBlogger in France :)

I always forget to add my posts here, which means I always forget to check out all the other links that everyone posts.
I plan to rectify that!

Here are my links from Sunday

Silent Sunday
Oh Christmas Tree
Listography - Top 5 Christmas Songs

and here's my link for today

Candlelit dinner

Thank you Petite and Outrageous. Petite I love blue too, especially with white!

SophRunning · 05/12/2011 21:45

MmeLindor, I just read your blog and felt pure rage, followed by despair because I fear I may be one of the people relying on that new system. what can we do? sign me up.

overmydeadbody thank you for your beautiful pictures, which helped me to calm down (a bit).

Meanwhile, on my latest blog I'm wondering What Have I Got Myself Into

MmeLindor. · 05/12/2011 21:54

I did a wee bit of alternative Christmas shopping at the weekend and ended up with a totally kitsch hand knitted nativity set. Xmas Wink Yes, really! Take a peek at it here... adventuresofanunfitmother.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-cracker.html I'd love to hear what you think, if you get a chance.....

My sister in law is off to the Himalayas so we had Christmas early with an
inspiring visit to see Christmas in stately home style at the amazing Holker Hall.

PetiteRaleuse · 06/12/2011 12:05

I have blogged about being accused of animal cruelty

PetiteRaleuse · 06/12/2011 12:06

PetiteRaleuse · 06/12/2011 14:41

I literally laughed out loud when I read the poo head title SOE

Would you daughter like to guest post on my blog? Grin

lowimpactmama · 06/12/2011 15:33

MummyBarrow I like your cards post! As you saw, I've linked to it in my latest post greening your Christmas cards

SOE David C is indeed a poo head Grin

Off to catch up on all the latest posts while work is quiet! Am internetting on work time as am attempting to stay off the lap top at night until my Christmas cards are done (have to make the overseas post deadlines this Friday!).

MmeLindor. · 06/12/2011 15:34

There have been a good few post disappeared into the WEBHOSTINGHUBAREBASTARDSVORTEX, some of them were really well-researched pieces and I am annoyed at that.

Anyway, I kind of replicated one today here which is also on #frothers.

Along with these

Terrified for my Teenager about Workfare

Is it Better to Gove than Receive about bloody Gove

Are you sure you're all right Jack? about how any of us can end up homeless.

And more.

If you are fed up with the way the country is being run, head over to Frothers and froth with us.
