Blognonymous : Why Do Women Take Them Back?

This post was submitted to me within the ethos of Blognonymous. A fellow blogger asked if she could post this here as it didn't feel right on her own blog.  I respect her decision and realise that it could be a difficult read for some people.    

If you would like to offer any kind of support in the comments but prefer to remain anonymous yourself then there is a "guest comment" facility - sign out of Disqus (if you have used it before), write your comment, click "Post as..." and you will see "guest" appear as an option.

#dosomethingyummy - Link Up - Week 3

Welcome to the #dosomethingyummy Writing Prompt Link Up for Week 3 of our CLIC Sargent Do Something Yummy awareness campaign.

Your writing prompt for Week 3 was "Getting Together" and you had a choice of three types of post:

1. Personal post.  When was the last time you got together with a group of friends?
2. Yummy post.  Tell us why getting together with other parents is important.
3. Creative writing.  Tell us how you are surviving the half term holidays.  You also had a vlog prompt to get the kids involved with maybe an interview or something.

How did you do this week?  Did you tag someone?  Don't forget to remind them to link up here if they have written something.  I have cheated a little bit because my "Getting Together" post is family related rather than friend related but it's relevant to last week's post.  You can read it by scrolling past the link widget.  If you have written a #dosomethingyummy post please link up below but don't worry if you haven't joined in yet - the linky will be staying open for the whole of February and March.  If you are here to read the entries it would be great if you could share this post, or any of the ones linked up, on your social networks.

CybHer Meet and Greet

*sigh* I'm being MADE to tell you who I am.  Like you don't know already!!  Honestly... what do you think I've been doing here, on Twitter and on Facebook for the past three years?

Jar Of Hearts

We don't do Valentine's mush here at Typecast Towers - and long term readers may remember that I posted about that last year.  This year isn't going to be much different but I have been sent a 'Rom Com' package from Warner Bros which includes the following DVD's:

• Midnight in Paris (the new DVD release)
• Valentines Day
• Casablanca (70th anniversary edition)
• Crazy, Stupid Love
• Going the Distance
• The Bodyguard
• Lake House

plus a great big bag of Maltesers (yum!), a dinky heart-shaped mirror (handy!) and a cute little bag (great for the summer).  So that's me sorted out for this evening and the rest of my week off work.

#dosomethingyummy Writing Prompts - Week 3

During February I will be posting a series of writing prompts so welcome to the third in the series.  I would love bloggers from all corners of the internet to join in, get creative, be inspired to write whilst helping to promote and raise awareness of the CLIC Sargent Yummy Mummy Week - 10th to 18th March 2012.  

Why am I doing this?  This time it's personal and you can read all about that here.  You can also download the official press release and images to use in your posts from that link.  I want you to get inspired to do something - anything - to help support the CLIC Sargent charity.

Review & Giveaway : Love Cases

Since bragging about receiving my new camera and Kindle at Christmas I've had to be extra careful with them because I've been scared of scratching them.  Enter, stage right, Love Cases and their super-affordable cases for almost every single digital accessory you own.   Have a read of what I thought and then I've got a bit of a giveaway at the end.

#dosomethingyummy - Link Up - Week 2

Welcome to the #dosomethingyummy Writing Prompt Link Up for Week 2 of our CLIC Sargent Do Something Yummy awareness campaign.

Your writing prompt for Week 2 was "What Family Means To You" and you had a choice of three types of post:

1. Personal post.  What kind of family did you grow up in?  Why is family important to you?
2. Yummy post.  What happens to a family when a child is diagnosed with cancer?  How do siblings and parents cope?
3. Creative writing.  Write about a perfect family moment 

So, what did you write?  I chose the personal prompt and again you can read it by scrolling past the link widget.  If you have written a #dosomethingyummy post please link up below but don't worry if you haven't joined in yet - the linky will be staying open for the whole of February and March.  If you are here to read the entries it would be great if you could share this post, or any of the ones linked up, on your social networks.

It's Listography time again and this week it's all about those phrases that drive me mad.  I've been told I absolutely have to stick to five this time and that is why I'm late posting.  I had about fifteen at the first count, whittled down to eight by yesterday and this is the final cut.

So, in no particular order...
