Not blogged for a bit, but last night's dinner party prompted me to get back to it! Dressed to Impress

Why Bear-Faced is Bad About the Children in Need campaign to sponsor women to go without make-up for a day, references the thread in the Mumsnet feminist forum quite heavily.

really nice post pebbles

I've been blogging like a loon this week, maybe because it's my last week as Single Married Mum. My husband gets back from Afghanistan in a few days!! SO relieved the year's nearly over.....

This one's some pictures and thoughts about the Homecoming.

Hi all.

This week I have given some tips for Amazon Black Friday (starts on Monday, as the name suggests... )

and also made soup out of a supermarket substitution.

I'll click and leave comments directly on blogs rather than here :)

On a roll this week - crock-ppot cock-up ....

To my horror, I had a naughty dream about one of the Wiggles:

Anyone care to share their embarrassing children's TV unacknowleged crushes?!

I blogged about us finally getting a place and being able to settle down.

And I blogged today about the thought of creepy crawlys

Ah charlie, just read your post, that's wonderful news. What a relief!

Thanks thisis :)

It's great timing - means we're settled for christmas. STill classed as temp but 2 years is a huge huge breathing space from all this rubbish!

I had to take an unwanted trip to the Job Centre this week and it did not go well. It's Misty.. Seriously

Thanks so much trishawisha

Guest post from my friend.

christmas cake

Charlie i am so so delighted for you. 2 years. I had tears when your little boy asked for his toys.

Many congratulations, and hope you have much joy in your new home.

Thanks Egusta - It was emotional for me too. He is pretty excited about having his toys back, it's all he's talked about this morning!

I have a new post today here about how i've found the very small age gap between my children.

I'm new to blogging (this month!) so am taking baby steps to build up my blog. It's more of a diary of my family life at the moment and quite a lot of photos (I love photos!) but hoping to include lots of posts featuring recipes, crafty stuff, places we've visited, some essays on more 'serious stuff'. Need to work on the layout and design possibly, but getting there.

I'm thoroughly enjoying checking out some of your blogs, will subscribe to some when I have a minute!

I've expanded a bit on my turn as part of the Getting Published panel at Blogfest with a few extra nuggets of pointless waffle. :)

Mulling over what I gave up when I had a family

why change isn't so bad after all

I went away for the weekend to relax, and without my usual chores to do I felt totally restless and bored :)
