Cybermummy 2011 - Too Excited

I feel sick.  I've built up this bubbly, clever, innovative online persona and it's all going to come apart at the seams.

Tomorrow I shall be heading to London to seek my fortune attend the Cybermummy '11 convention.  Depending on how much you read my blog, view my YouTube channel or look at my Facebook page you may or may not be aware that this is a massively important event (for me) this year with regards to blogging and writing.


I am lucky enough to have all my expenses covered by the lovely people at Your Baby Can Read and you can visit their website by clicking on their logo in my sidebar just over there ==>
I reviewed their product last year and I'm a big fan of it as it incorporates education and play seamlessly.  I've also got a money-off code for new customers COMING SOON so I'll let you know when all that has been set up.

I have got so much to do and so many people to meet whilst at the convention but I am also a crowd-sourced keynote speaker and the nerves are just about starting to jangle.  I have to read a blog post from the last year to all attendees (over 450 at the last count) but you will find out which one it is on the day, either by listening to it (obviously, duh) or by following the live feed hashtag (#cybermummy11) on Twitter (and very possibly some Facebook updates).  *checks email* I'M ON SECOND *dies a little*

I have Manda from Flying Start Mag as my carer travel companion and roomie.  No, we're not related.  No, we're not sharing a bed.  No, we're not "in a relationship".  I think that covers all angles.  During our last twitter exchange she hadn't worked out what to wear and was going to shove her stuff in my overnight bag (oh, that's lovely, by the way - provided by Pink Lining UK... see pic) when she picks me up at 5am in the morning  - YES, THAT'S FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING - that's sleepy time, normally.  We get into Euston Station at 8.15am so if anyone wants to meet us there and walk round with us just let me know and we'll arrange to carry a copy of the Financial Times and meet under a clock or something.

I have no idea how I'm going to keep everyone updated with what I'm doing as I don't own a fancy tablet thingybob, I'm not lugging my laptop all the way to London and back and the battery on my mobile is shite at the best of times.  If you're at Cybermummy and see a strange woman crawling around on the floor then it's probably me looking for a spare plug socket to try and charge up my phone.

I've spent far too long worrying about hair colour, style, clothes, shoes and everything else that probably isn't important.  I am going to network as much as possible and I am going to try and 'work the crowd' because there are so many people that owe me a drink I want to meet.  If you've not already seen it, the vlog below is my "Oh so that's what she looks like..." introduction.  Yes, I am a little deranged but don't let that put you off.  ** TOO EXCITED **

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
