Welcome back!

Tomorrow is my birthday!  Last night I spent hours making cupcakes, muffins and rocky road bites for work (along with a few for home obviously).  I planned to take a photo when I got to work to prove to the world that I can actually cook…but…unfortunately they’ve all gone already!  There were 30-40 cakes and they are all gone!  I must be a good cook!

Thanks to some helpful comments & emails I have decided to forget the plugin approach to my links page and do the work myself (a bit of hard (ok, not so hard) work never hurt anyone!).  If you want to be added to my links page just leave a comment or fill in the contact form and I’d be happy to oblige.  Also if you’d like a little blurb about your blog I’m happy to do that too!  God, I’m just so nice :-D  x

P.s. Thank you if you did get in touch!

The Search is On…

For the past few days I have been searching high and low for a really nice links page plugin.  I’ve probably tried about 10-12 of the ones available on the easy upload bit on my Wordpress dashboard but I just cannot seem to find one I like.  they’re either too plain and simple and you can’t adjust fonts or anything to make it individual or they just don’t seem to sit right with my blog…or maybe it’s just me. 

Can Anyone Help Me?

This may be a little cheeky but I am relying on your good natures, kindness, anything really for a little helping hand (this is normally where I’d pull out my “because-I’m-a-girl” card hehe).  I know absolutely nothing about codes or HTML or any other 4-letter web-related abbreviation you might like to throw my way and so it’s not looking too likely that I’ll be able to solve the issue by myself.  I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of a nice plugin to add a links page, or some HTML or something (whatever that means).

“What’s In It For Me” I Hear You Yell

Well, not only will I be your best friend for life (well, we could work on that) but I would give you a free of charge (as in I wouldn’t expect a link in exchange unless you thought enough of me to do so)  link on my new founded, fresh and funky links page (that you will help me to get obviously).  Also, you can live a happy and fulfilled life with the knowledge that you, yes you, have helped me - a mere baby to the blogging world - achieve my dream of a fantastic links page (again, all credit to you!).  Now, how does that sound?  Pretty great deal huh?? 

Well, even if it doesn’t sound like the best deal since 2 4 1 on Domino’s, I would be extremely extremely exuberantly incredibly unbelievably grateful to you (and if it’s possible I will add a little thank you message to you on the links page - and I  might even reveiw your blog, although I don’t know if I’d be any good at that last bit though). 

Thanks in advance - If you are my knight in shining armour (apart from Jamie and my dad of course - neither of whom would be capable of help - sorry if you’re reading this!) please leave me a comment or send me msg / email!

Ever since we told my parents we were intending to go travelling my dad has been taking every opportunity to tell Jamie he will end up carrying most of my “equipment” (Dad was probably referring to the hair dryer, hair straighteners, my whole wardrobe, perfume, toiletries etc etc that I wont actually be taking with me). 

So, when mum suggested that they buy our backpacks for us for Christmas dad found another opportunity to jest and said that he will endevour to find Jamie a double-backpack - so I didn’t even need to take one!

Well, we were watching the TV ther other night and the funniest advert came on - I think this is how Dad envisages our return!

Poor Jamie - I can assure you all that it wont happen (I hope), but it would be funny.

Not a perfect sunset but the best this year so far - it was quite cloudy!
