The Gurgle Blog Awards – We’re Finalists!
We’ve both been away the last couple of weeks (did you miss us? Huh? HUH?), so it was a le-e-etle bit exciting to get home at the weekend to find we’d been nominated for a Gurgle award (*runs around flapping hands in excited fashion*)! Thank you, to whoever nominated us, we’re suitably humbly grateful. Using public nominations, the judging panel met and selected their favourite five blogs in each category –...
RSPCA Tweetathon #RSPCA247 – come join in.
Holly was my first ever Christmas present to my new husband (Holly… Christmas… geddit? I wanted to call her Tree but Husband was having none of it, said he’d feel a fool calling for her in a wood…). We visited the local RSPCA centre, and wandered around – as husband stood still this small solid lump of black with silly ears wandered over and sat on his foot… and that was that. Holly, like most...
Oh. Fame at last. Thank you Legoland.
This is their promo clip for the new Atlantis Submarine Voyager we tried out last Sunday.

It’s still having a lie down, recovering from the sheer...
Top Tip On How To Stop Website Theft & Plagiarism – something all bloggers should know…

After all, images can (and should) be watermarked, but what about the text? I’ve not seen anyone mention Copyscape, so I thought it would be good to let you all know about this fantabulous website… Copyscape is an oh-SO-simple (but genius) site....
Carless Whispers (extra) – in which Skoda are really rather lovely.
This is from me (Laura), not Keris – but we wanted to do an extra-ordinary Carless post, to let you know what’s happened this week. When Keris began writing about the two-cars-to-no-cars situation she found her family in, she presumed she was entertaining LittleStuff’s readers in her usual fashion. She didn’t expect a car manufacturer to notice. She certainly didn’t expect to get back from the school run yesterday to find...
OMG! Keris!
Keris is one of our favourite reviewers (and the author of our brilliant Slopsville series last year, her week by week success-by-disaster weaning diary), so we are naturally excited that her first book is finally on the shelves. And just look – this (very excited) image taken just today in WH Smiths proves it! ‘Della Says OMG!’ (bottom shelf, third from left, black cover) is a YA/Teen fiction, and a contemporary...
