My Gallery entry today explains why I've given up dyeing my hair

fivehrssleep you have a knack for posting interesting titles, and I am forever clicking on links that look interesting on this thread, only to realise that it's one of yours!

Have commented on the dye post... I can't join you, but am jealous that you have opted to do it now while you can! Smile

Thanks for all the thumbs up re: the book. If anybody wants a guest post/book extract (on theme of toddlers) or even a q & a interview give me a shout.

I have just posted of an exciting new writing job which we can all rush to apply for. Or not, possibly.

Happy St Brigid's Day, aka the start of spring!

Right, off to catch up on some blogs Smile

Yummymummy I just tried commenting on your maternity clothes post (several times) but it kept telling me I was getting the letters wrong (even though I wasn't)...

In the meantime, here's today's thoughts on 'after school activities'

How many after school activities are too many?

Feel free to add your thoughts.....if you can!

It appears pride really does come before a fall

How do you reward yourself? What are your favourite treats for 'you' time?

icanyoucanwecan-blog.blogspot.com/2012/02/how-do-you-reward-yourself.html


BTW, could someone please give me a few more hours in the day so I can read your blogs? Or rather, so I can read your blogs <strong>and</strong> get some work done! 

Congrats on 3k book sales, Mme. G -very well-deserved! And PR - I loved your rant about the daily fail (I cannot even bring myself to capitalise it)! Queen Maeve, I have the same thing with your header too - I'm glad it's not actually my deteriorating eyesight that's to blame! 

Right, I'm off to gawk at more blogs! <img loading="lazy" class="inline-flex mumsnet-emoji" alt="Grin" src="https://www.mumsnet.com/build/assets/grin-D7Eg_B6y.png">

I've been drinking something very tasty - that quite nicely applies to TheGoktor's "how do you reward yourself" :)

singlemarriedmum · 01/02/2012 20:54

No pain, no gain - I've been telling myself that a lot this week! Hmm

Lifeofanexpatparent · 01/02/2012 22:10

PR - have tried to post on your blog, but it doesn't seem to like me. The gist was that we are in the same boat. We should compare notes when they take their first proper tumbles. I live in a constant state of amusement and fear due to her progress.

We've had two posts with differing opinions lately, which is interesting...

Last week's singles reviewer didn't like Lana Del Rey's single

...then someone else did a review of the album, and liked it

Should make for some interesting comments anyway...
