It's been a while....

...and ain't that the truth!

I have been so busy that I have neglected my own poor little Blogger page! (All together now....! No?........Ok.)  So extreme is my absence that I couldn't remember any of my log in details and had to give Barry a call to help me!  Thanks B!

It seems that I am the last person on my list when it comes to promoting my own business and telling you blog addicts exactly what I have been up to.  Yes, I know...I write for everyone else and leave myself till last! Isn't that just what women do in general for everything?

Well no more!!  From today, I have promised myself that I deserve a bit of the limelight every now and then.  It may come in many forms, be warned; A boast; a rant, a special offer, a shout-out for a fab client or just what I had for tea (oh no, sorry that's Twitter isn't it?).

So beware and watch this space - what I blog will very much be determined by the particular hat of the day; copywriter, proofreader, ideas genius, business owner, mother, wife, ex-partner (dodged that marital bullet), taxi driver, dinner lady, kitten poop clearer-upper.

Today's hat is made up of all of the above having written stuff, read stuff, come up with stuff, bank statement says I still have a business, one child crisis already addressed, been a wife from afar via text and an FB status that could have got me into serious trouble, given my ex a text that politely says 'go away' (that is code by the way), done one of the three lots of school runs, slow-cooker on and emptied the litter tray for little Tommy Trouble (into the bin, not the slow-cooker).

I've been networking my little ass off and am off to a posh awards do tomorrow for one of my super-star clients.  I might even post a pic of me if a half decent one materialises!

So I will bid you a temporary farewell and carry on packing for the USA now that I have scratched my blogging itch!

Laters 'taters.

Gopher or gofer??

Melvyn Bragg, of all people, on Ken Russell in The Times in November, wrote: 'I worked as his gopher for about a year'.  Hmmmmm, so Ken employed rodents did he?  The word admittedly a neologism, but it's 'gofer' (from 'go for', 'go fetch this, go for that').











Editing Matters : Mar/Apr 2012 p6

Good afternoon world. Let the blogging commence!

I have finally pulled my finger out as they say (whoever 'they' may be) and have created a long overdue blogging account.  If anyone has any handy tips for me that would be good - I'm a words kinda lady, so please don't blind me with science as you're more than likely to be deafened by my slience in return! LOL!

Had a fantastic meeting this morning (yes, I know it's Saturday!) with the lovely Jill from Bring Me Sunshine who captivated me for nearly two hours on Reiki and Soul Plan Readings.  You see, I'm writing her profile for social networking sites, and it's important to get a full understanding of how it all works.  As one of life's (9 times of of 10) sceptics, I was genuinely amazed when she carried out a mini Reiki treatment on me!  Feeling is believing in this case...

Have a good Saturday y'all!
