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?

Wayhey LIM - me too! Day 4!

ShirleyKnot · 08/12/2011 22:33

I would love to be on the advent calendar. No idea how that works though. Hmm

DillyTante · 08/12/2011 22:39

Not sure Shirley, I only realised earlier so I didn't do anything special. Tis only day 8 though, plenty of time!

ShirleyKnot · 08/12/2011 23:07

I might report myself - just kidding!

lowimpactmama · 08/12/2011 23:09

This is all soooo exciting. I have just started a blog about my genius children and my own pushy tendencies, and I'm currently enjoying reading my way through all the other fab blogs on here. What a brilliant displacement activity when I should be working...

Think you are a pushy parent? I can out-push anyone

Put A Hat On That Baby!

And I don't just mean a Santa hat....

In which I give vent to my annual winter horror of seeing underdressed children out in cold weather!

Googel analytics: A good standby for when you don't know what to blog about.

I recorded and uploaded this year's CBeebies winter song and wrote down the lyrics too. I've been getting quite a few visitors from google looking for it and couldn't find it anywhere else online, so thought I'd do it myself:

I've had quite a few people ask about how to publish a book to Kindle and thought I'd write a BIG post about my experience of publishing two books with Kindle. :)

Who is in charge of your Xmas tree?

DillyTinsel · 10/12/2011 19:12

Evening all

Welcome pushymum, great blog. Fivehourssleep I've finally signed up for google analytics but no idea how to get it onto my blog. Anyone know where I paste the code?

breadfortheboys · 10/12/2011 20:38

Evening All,

Finally feeling Christmassy now that we have our tree up...must be the earliest ever and the toddler is very excited and thinks it is Christmas every day!

I have been making and eating lots of Orange and Almond Christmas Bread to get myself in a Christmassy mood and have held a couple of bread-making workshops this week. My first ever. I'm really excited but utterly exhausted!

I've not been on MN at all for a week or so and have only just seen the bloggers advent calendar, it is fantastic and I see a couple of names from here on there Grin.

FiveHoursSleep · 10/12/2011 20:47

Dilly, I see you are on Wordpress.com so I'm not sure if you have a dashboard? If you do, got to plugins, 'add new', and put 'google analytics' into search plug ins.
I think 'install now' will do it for you.
I think.....
Hmm

DedalusDigglesPocketWatch · 10/12/2011 21:14

Hello! I am new, just got accepted yesterday, not sure on blog protocol, so would really appreciate if someone could take me under their wing and tell me when I make a balls up Xmas Grin
