"WINNING" MAD-ness

I'M ON A DRUG... IT'S CALLED "TYPECAST".  It's not available because if you try it you will get addicted to blogging.  Your fingers will melt off and your children will weep over your reduced parenting.  I'm tired of pretending like I'm not special.  I'm tired of pretending I'm not bitchin', a total freakin' blog star from the Blogoverse...  *


Oops, sorry.  I have no idea what just happened there.  It was like I went all Charlie Sheen and got TYPECAST BLOOD coursing through my veins.  Which is sort of true... but not really.  


*fanfare*  I love recognition for all the hard work I put into blogging, both on the front of the blog and behind the scenes.  Yes, once again I have been nominated for not one but TWO MAD Blog Awards in 2012.  The "MADs" celebrate the UK's best Mum & Dad blogs and are sponsored, once again, by ParentDish.

I'm really chuffed to have been nominated for "Most Innovative" for a second year running and also for the brand new category of "Most Helpful".  Both of these categories suit this blog down to the ground.  

I am massively grateful for the first round of nominations that got me through to the finals but I'd love for you to vote one final time to ensure that I WIN AND WE ALL CONTINUE RECEIVING TYPECAST BLOOD.  Voting is open RIGHT NOW and will close at 5.00pm on Wednesday 6th June 2012.  It's dead easy to vote - you just search for my categories in the menu and use the drop down option to select TYPECAST. 

Watch out for projects that I'm getting involved with during the build-up to the awards ceremony.  I've already signed up for something that is no doubt going to embarrass me and the Most Innovative nominees intend to try and top the lip sync video from last year.

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...
