I woke up today and contemplated resuming blogging. The contemplation lasted about 10 seconds.... before you know it I was faffing around on blogger! So if you have arrived at a half finished, template all over the show, old content here and there kinda 'blog crash'... that's w...
I am still here.. somewhere, lurking in the background, with lots of stuff I want to blog about, but no time free to do it! Don't forget about little old me just because i'm not here at the moment... My poor old 'Just Manda' blog is so lonely and neglected... I'll come back to give it some love soo...
I saw Mummytips' 'Celebrity Look-alike' the other week, and remembered that I had done this back in 2007 on Facebook. So I thought - hmm I wonder how much my look-a-likey-ness has changed.... Here goes! 17th April 2007 Ok, so If I'm honest, I didn't know who half of them were back then, and still...
My friends son overheard her talking about the new baby, and asked "how come you had to pay for her, I thought babies were free..." ???? Mum laughed out loud.... she was 19lb !...
Me, well I think I am the most unorganised mum on the planet... maybe more.. erm.. forgetful. ie. This is a typical Amanda thing... Phone call... Tawny Owl "Manda, where is Emma the coach is waiting to set off to Brownie Camp" Manda "erm, we are just running a little bit late" (Realises... S*** It's...
This is the 1st time I've 'got round' to joining in with Tara's Gallery posting... ... and this weeks theme is 'UGLY'. Mould. I found this tucked around the corner of the open fire in our bedroom - euugghhhhh! I think it was once tea or coffee in its former life.... (ahem ahem how embarrassing!)...
Hey everyone. Been meaning to post about this for a while now... It's the Mummy Bloggers Book Club. If you like books (Or if your child likes books) you'll LOVE this... Basically the only difference between this and a 'real' book club, is that we can't meet for coffee in real life, eat cupcakes...
It was a while back now, I made a note of Emily at Baby Rambles 'Is there anything you won't blog about' post. I made a note because I too had something to say about it! I started my blog because I thought I should have 'my place of work' with a presence in the world of mummy bloggers. Id...
I'm so glad I went to see Em's teacher BEFORE I went to sit in her class room and read through her school books in her tray. What must Miss Dobbs have thought as she was marking Em's Clauses work in her Literacy book on Wednesday 24th Feb.. (check out no. 2) Ok, so when the kids are in bed,...
Yo homies. Just a quick novelty post (yes another one, I know, it's about time I wrote another topical one, I don't need telling!).... But I have to shout about this!... I recently joined Heather @ Notes from Lapland's Secret Post Club . (<--- highly recommended!) For any of you who aren't familiar...
A BIG welcome to my guest blogger, Diney... Older mums are fun - unless they forget to take their HRT! I’m Diney and am delighted to be a guest blogger on Manda’s blog, if only because it makes me sound like a real writer! I have an opinionated 10 year old daughter who is now fully informed...
I was sat at my computer last Thursday night when the kids were in bed, as you do, when Tweet deck popped up a few messages about a Disney Dance-off.. well anyone who knows me knows I love a good dance off... I am more of a 'pop it, lock it, polka dot it, Hoedown Throwdown' kinda gal, (but that's a...
It's Sunday again. If you don't already know.. hubby goes bed around 7pm on a Sun for his usual weekly 'goodbye wife, see you on Thursday' kip before he gets up at 2am for his trip to work... obviously kids are now in bed too... so it's just little old me. I should really do some work, but I'll be...
Being from a parenting magazine, you were probably expecting me to be blogging about Postnatal urinary incontinence - but no... I'm just talking about laughing! (or 'PMSL' as its commonly abbreviated) Which brings me to the 'You Made Me Laugh Today Blog Award' And I am awarding it to...
I received this Sunshine award from Nickie at Typecast (@nickie72) who seems to be even more popular than Lady Ga Ga!! So thank you for that Nickie, it brightened up my day - and has even actually made the sunshine in the sky work today! Whoop whoop! I am going to pass this award on to the following...
One thing our kids can't say is that there is ever a dull moment about... with Mick being away at work most of the week, weekends are always jam packed with something or other, even if it is a load of nothing much particular... it is always fun nothing much particular! What I am going to write about...
Thanks to Slummy Single Mummy who tagged me in this meme. I've noticed a few of them doing the rounds in different shapes and forms... naming songs, posting pictures etc and this one had a simple feel good stuff angle. So keeping it that way, here's a list of stuff (20 to be exact) that get my...
Here is my video footage of our Chubby Bunny Marshmallow Challenge.... It was filmed this morning.. but before you watch it, there is just a little something I would like you to read. First of all, @Lola's_mum managed to get out of the Chubby Bunny Marshmallow Challenge set to her by Karin @cafebebe...
Whilst doing a little blog-spotting during my lunch hour, I came across @crystaljigsaw's recent blog post in which she interviewed her 1o year old daughter (http://crystaljigsaw.blogspot.com)... I thought that would be quite interesting and amusing, so have done the same. The interviewees: JR (my...
