Weekend wrap: Football cures, lovely friends and a tinsel dress (and me being very very brave!)

Is it the weekend already? Wow, this week has flown. It’s been an amazing week (truth be told it was amazing by the time I went to bed on Tuesday!) so grab your cuppa because here’s a round up of what you may have missed.

I am not a football fan. I audibly tolerate football because it’s one of my husband’s great passions but a fan I am not. Reading a suggestion from Robert Bravery that I should write a post about football to encourage traffic to the blog gave rise to a challenge. Monday’s post, How to survive the World Cup: loneliness cures for football widows was my reaction to that. It proved to be quite a popular post

Wednesday’s post was an appeal for help in preparation for Christmas. I recorded my Christmas video. It cause a little bit of a ripple (truth be told, I loved the ripple but I’m going for coy and innocent ) It’s resulted in donations (which wasn’t my intent) and made lots of people smile. Calling all artists & writers: Christmas with @TylinaVespart & doing a happy salsa thanks to @DanielleLaPorte is worth another look

Our Friday Friend post this week was a little different to normal, owing mainly to me forgetting to interview anyone I did my best and you can catch up with this week’s friends here.

And me being very, very brave? I went to London on Friday. It was amazing. But I’m not going to tell you about it here. I’ve written all about it over at my place, Writing Smiles. I’m told I must be brave and ask you to read it so here goes: “Please make time this weekend to read all about what I learnt in London. It’s called It can be scary, but that’s OK and I’d love to hear what you think. Thank you x ”

Have a fabulous weekend and thank you again to all my friends who have made this an awesome week in so many different ways.
