Let's celebrate unspending

A little cheeky of me, since it's not quite midnight here in New Jersey yet but thought I'd be organised before I'm engulfed in a busy Sunday...

I'm taking Teengirl to Hyper Japan this weekend.

I'll be the mum in the bright red wig, teengirl will be dressed in full on gothic lolita sadly not as a vocaloid.

Hi everyone. I have done a short post with a selection of rants today : pint-sized-rants.blogspot.fr/2012/11/a-selection-of-rants.html

Have not been blogging as have had visitors after the baby and then the baby had to spend a few days in hospital which was horrible but she's ok now. Anyway, look forward to catching up on your posts.

Petite sorry to hear you're baby's been in hospital - hope all is well now.

What with the miserable weather, and all, I give you 2 helpings of comfort food. First up sausage meatball pasta bake - meatballs, pasta, freezeable - what's not to like? And secondly pearl barlestrone soup (I was trying to make a clever play on words mixing minestrone and pearl barley. not sure it worked, but the name stuck...)

Ooh that sausage meatball bakes looks soooo yum !

Everything is changing. My love affair has hit new heights and I need to act sooner rather than later to end my marriage.

So it's a lighthearted one from me then...

Dilly great idea for a blog hop, will have to get working on my post to join in

Now I have a new laptop (the cheapest one on the market which goes clickclack with every letter pressed as opposed to my beautiful Macbook which died of Pepsi Maxx) I can type more (loudly)
Have a few new posts up, been runner up at blognorth awards and been read out loud at literary events proud and embarrassed
Looking forward to reading blogs posted on here again. I have missed computer connection more than is possibly normal.

How To Be A Bad Mother

Now that my kids' school has accepted that coconut is not a nut, my little angels can have these banana and coconut blondies in their lunch. That is as long as I don't eat them first

I have a thanksgiving-themed post today (even though I am not remotely American), and I am thankful for having a fabulous family and support network close by here

People have been really nice about my new book covers so I thought I'd post a bit about how I made them. There's also before and after photos to show how much I had to chop the stock photographs around. :)
