A lifestyle blog
Yep, in earnest. With the toughest challenge first. On Friday a group of us are all meeting up at the foot of Snowdon and then this time next week will be climbing it. Why? In aid of Comic Relief of course. What’s funny about that you might think? After all, Comic Relief is all about doing something funny for money. Well how about doing it with pants OVER the top
Earlier in the week I read this story. Mother of eleven has six bed council house built Now I am not going to judge this lady. I know nothing about her and at the end of the day, whether anybody likes it or not, she is entitled to a house. She obviously meets certain criteria set by the Council who have agreed to house her.
Stands to reason doesnt it that as last week the theme for the Gallery was girls, that this week it would be boys. So I have picked a pic of boys that I just love. Well actually two pics. I can’t choose
Good morning and thank you for your email. I always love getting emails from you (either PR or SEO expert, or website owner who has something lovely to sell) or other people within your field, it brightens my otherwise dull day no end. You often offer me a product to review that I have not seen before. Or along to an event that may not have been on my radar.
That is how it is under British Law, isn’t it? You are innocent until proven guilty. Well it appears you might be wrong to assume that these days. I was shocked when Michael Le Vell was arrested a couple of years ago on suspicion of some pretty awful crimes. And was also then surprised when he was then released because there was deemed to be insufficient evidence to bring about
No not me. Other people doing it. This week’s Ranty Friday is all about people shouting down the phone from the first syllable out of their mouths. You know those phone calls that start with somebody basically shouting at you down the phone. It has happened to me twice this week and I have had enough of it.
Girls. I have spent a lot of time with girls recently. A great songstress once sang that sisters were doing it for themselves and by goodness I saw that in Ghana. All about girls and whilst I was never a fan of the Spice Girls, girl power. And as a mum of two girls I know how important it is to teach the next generation of girls that they can
In yesterday’s post about the big Team Honk Challenge announcement I mentioned that there was another way to get involved with fund raising for Comic Relief and that I was doing something of my own. Yes, in a moment of madness (there must have been wine involved) I suggested that as Red Nose Day is celebrating 25 years I would cycle 25 miles as it was also 25 years since
Now that Team Honk are back we are more fired up than ever to get fund raising. That was, after all, the reason we first approached Comic Relief. We wanted to show that bloggers not only get vocal but get behind a campaign and raise vital cash.
I tried to shoot some video whilst at the Vaccine Clinic in Accra with #TeamHonk to explain a little bit more about what was going on. Suffice to say my video skills have a long way to go but I hope it gives you a feel for it!
If I had started my blog in 2008 then I would have been ranting about this back then. How stupid Twitter was. How pointless. How Jonathan Ross had ignored me and therefore Twitter was useless. How I was kicking the internet and walking off in a strop. I joined Twitter on January 6th, 2009. So pretty much four years ago. I joined because people seemed to be talking about it,
Remember how last week I blogged about my hatred of football? (Remember when whatshis face booted that ball boy who he thought was time wasting?) Well I have a confession to make about football. I think I have changed my mind. I think I love football now.
