… So kinda wanted some technical advice peeps… Anyone!
If I want to have a word, or phrase, that links to a specific site, how do you do that?
Not sure how clear that is but I am not that internet/blog savvy yet!
See the image below…

From my blog pal Gabriel

He has used my web link first… Now I can do that one!
But further down, he has the name to my blog, no .com/.co.UK addresses, no https stuff, but if I click on said highlighted phrase, it goes to my blog too…
I wanna be able to do that!!!
Please advice, anyone, in simplistic terms!!!
*flutters eyelashes*
Thanking you all kindly very muchly indeedy, in advance!

I’ve been quiet today…

So, I undertook one of those Facebook quizzes that professes to tell you stuff about yourself…

They think I’m 13…. !!! Love it! Only 26 years out!!!

So I know it’s now the 3rd of January, and generally resolutions are meant to be kept on the 1st, but I have made a decision, I will stop hollering/screaming/shouting at the kids!

Firstly, it will save my throat!

Secondly, I have noticed how Lil Princess nowadays raises her voice rather a lot, and I guess children learn what they see, and I am so guilty of this!

There was a time when I was such a calm person, with the patience of a saint…then I had kids of my own!!!!

And yes, standing in the middle of the brother/sister war zone, sometimes the only way to be heard is to shout…. But no, I must control my urges!

So from today, I will try so hard to listen, and reason with the two monkeys in a cool, calm and collected way, before resorting to the banshee style that I tend to favour, unfortunately!

I will keep you posted with my endeavours to be quieter!

(So far today, I did really good, until I was trying to type my last post, and they were being little s***s, so slight volume control -or no volume control -was exercised…! Oops! Still. Baby steps, baby steps!)

We’re back!

So, date night been n gone!

Yes we went shopping… No, bought nothing for ourselves but two bags of things for the kids.

Cinema, yes, The Woman In Black-Angel Of Darkness definitely a no kids zone! We even splashed out and got the gallery seats, so a huge pile of snacks and comfy seats, what could be better?
(Films wasn’t all that though!)

Dinner, ERM, pass! Was so full from previously mentioned snacks, we wandered around the complex trying to decide, but neither if us was hungry enough to eat…

So homeward bound we still ended up at my in laws to see the kids one last time before bed!

So an evening, child free, theoretically, but they still ended up in there with us one way or another!!!
