[yummymummyreally]

The new blog posts run Sunday to Saturday don't they? So sorry for getting the end date wrong on last weeks!

Good morning all!

Ooh ooh ooh - I forgot this one! I was invited to write a guest article on Peony Moon about the short-story writing experience.

Three blogs in one week, what's the matter with me?

Speaking of monster quilts...

That's beautiful stitchthis - go on, how long did it take? Mine's a lot more, erm, 'rustic' :o

btw did you get my comment on your 'choose' post? I got a msg saying they couldn't identify me, but then it looked like it would work after all

No comment!!!! Will check settings. Thanks in advance. It took about 2 yrs on and off. Those bloody borders. It was fun to make tho. Mostly done on my commute on the train. Very strange looks I got show us your then Flubba!

haha! I will show you mine (as you've shown me yours :o) but it's not finished yet, and it's certainly not as beautiful.
I'll try again on the comment thingamy...

Oh stitchthis, that's beautiful...so impressed. The borders are gorgeous!

evening fellow bloggers

I have just discovered the most gorgeous podcast series about parenthood (especially early parenthood) - the longest shortest time.

Three from me today! Been busy. Luckily all the housework has been done for this year so that frees up a few hours.

This is a guest post I did for another blog about how to deal with toddler tantrums.

This one on my own blog is a topical one about how to go to the gym 3 times a week.

And this one on my co-blog with my daughter is about 3 butts. Say no more. This is what happens when you blog with a 12 year old.

5hrsSleep. Sounds like a great challenge. Bit too late for me I think. I only have 90mins. ... Good luck!

No recipe on mine this week :)

But there is a post none of you would want to read. Really, its all about me and you don't want to know what it is :)

Just for mumsnetters, here is an old one: Can Astrology Make You A Better Mother?
oxford-astrologer.blogspot.com/2011/05/can-astrology-make-you-better-mother.html

Hello everyone. I am ranting about the power of pharmaceutical companies today. And adding a reminder to give blood. Save lives etc. I'll love you for it if you do.

Announcing the blog giveaway winner. Was it you?

I defy anyone to find a less appealing menu description than the one spotted by my brother's father-in-law while on holiday in Malaga...

yummymummyreally Thank you belatedly for your suggestion! I do have Jane Fonda's workout on my dusty DVD shelf - also found Callanetics - another blast from the past - lots of v high cut, shiny lycra leotards....

Liked your tips.

Love that quilt stitchthis - clever you! I have maing a quilt in my list of things-to-do but I have to get through all my half-started knitting projects first, which could take some time...

Not really a proper post, jsut a little mention of my sweet cat, who was run over and killed this week

Who'd have thought a trip to Bluewater would have such an effect?

I did it! I entered the Flash Fiction Challenge. Thanks for the tip FiveHoursSleep.

Check out my entry, a short story of only 100 words inspired by "Let it Snow".
