Hi Jo,
I love reading your blog. its a lovely reminder that I am not the only one who is split between loving being a parent and wantingto be selfish and have some time to myself 9which very rarely happens).
Keep up the good work – I look forward to reading more in 2010 :o)
Thank you Sharon, I’m glad it struck a chord with you – it is so hard to get that balance isn’t it? Just how much TV IS it ok to let the kids watch while you blog?? Who knows…
Hello Jo, I really, really like your blog. It’s refreshingly honest and it makes me laugh. Would you be okay with me adding a link to your blog on my home page?
You would be a great contender – a single mum who can write well and looks natural……..
Let me know your thoughts.

Hi Jo…I just wanted to echo the comments you’ve already had, being an expectant mummy (my bump is due anyday) I love your writing style, and will definately be checking in more often, your humerous approach to what I’m sure can be tough at times is an inspiration, especially to someone like me who has no idea what to expect from motherhood!!
Ps. I have just clicked through to the competition mentioned in your previous comment from Roz Chandler, I must say it sounds like a great opportunity…it says you can win a package worth up to £50,000 and I agree with Roz that you would stand a great chance! You go girl!!!! :-)
Thank you! I’m gald you’re enjoying it, and hope you manage to find a spare minute to keep reading once the baby is born – good luck with being a mum :-)
Thank you! I think perhaps I need to let people recover from the MAD blog awards before I start begging for votes for something else :-)

I guess it’s reassuring to read about other people who’ve found online fun and a way to meet people and make opportunities. I’m not much of a tweeter in terms of building relationships there, but just don’t have time with full time job, 2 repping sidelines, and toddler as well as my blog and catching up with my online friends groups. So much to do, so little time for mums these days!
I won’t tell ;) I assumed it wasn’t a running count. And yes, Adrian Mole rocks.

Hi! My name is Sue, and I’m from SlimKicker, a fitness/diet app and online website. I bumped into your blog today and it captured my interest!
I’m contacting you b/c we’re about to release a fitness tracker (similar to FitBit) early next year, and are looking for bloggers who would be interested in receiving 1 for free to review when it is out (negative or positive).
Would you be interested in doing this? You can email me at: sue (at) slimkicker (com) with ‘Review’ in the email heading if you are.
In case you don’t know, our online website SlimKicker basically turns your fitness/diet goals into a level up game. The tracker will work with the website, and allow people to track calories burned and number of steps they walk automatically. The more they exercise, the more points they rack up! That’s basically how it will work.
Anyway, hope to hear back either way…
– Sue

Jo – this is a beautiful blog and such easy reading. So impressed you juggle this with two kids. Thanks for the twitter follow and do stop by my blog sometime.
What a great blog Jo. I always smile to myself when I come across women taking the initiative (especially with little ‘ums in tow), using their skills and being creative and fabulous. I’ve recently started a small enterprise of my own that I hope will pick up speed, so I may well be contacting you at some point to do a review or something. The main most inspiring thing is that blogging and the internet have brought women together, brought female (and maternal) voices out of the kitchen and into the light, and given us the confidence to strike out and try something we wouldn’t otherwise have had the confidence or support to do. Keep up the good work!
I am part of the social and content team at Eaglemoss.
We will soon launch our MyLittlePony collection – in a few weeks. Can you please contact me as soon as possible, we would like to propose a collaboration. :-)
This is great Jo, well done you.
Thanks Pete, glad you like it – do tell your friends :-)

Thanks Gary, it’s amazing what a bit of make up can do :-)

Thanks Diane, I hope I can at least make you feel like you’re not alone, even if I can’t do anything useful like share the housework :-)

HiH
Interesting blog and a perfect way of comunication, I wil keep having a look often, greetings from spain
Ooh have just read your ‘online mummy network’ article in my local NCT newsletter. Small world
Yay! Good to know my name is getting about – I hope you enjoyed it :-)
I guess it’s reassuring to read about other people who’ve found online fun and a way to meet people and make opportunities.

The first thing I notice was your age. I realized I’ll be 33 3/4 in about two weeks. :)
*whispers*
I am actually 34 now… don’t tell anyone… I just wanted to be like Adrian Mole…
I won’t tell ;) I assumed it wasn’t a running count. And yes, Adrian Mole rocks.
