Good grief that’s an awful lot of 8’s. I concur on the reading list but you’re very late with most of them, not quite made it up to the current top hit list huh!
I tend to do my writing at the weekend, when there is another adult around! So I’ll see what I can come up with, but I’m put off by the fact that that appears to be a gross similarity in your list to what my own would be! Eeek.
Cheers
I love the “things I say.” It’s definitely a mom thing.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Hi, my husband directed me to your site when I was seeking inspiration to set up my own. I love your site and found myself smiling at lots of your anecdotes and relating to many of your “eight things”. Righto, I’m off to give this blog thing a go – wish me luck !
Ok, I have the computer back now.
I’ll take your advice and fill in the “eight things” thing on my blog.
Hey – this was fun learning so much new stuff about you! And thanks for tagging me. I have two memes already that I haven’t done yet – I may just add this in when I do those and do them all at the same time. Thanks again for thinking of me. See ya.
