The wonderful girls at SITS have made me today's featured blogger. Woohoo! Better tidy up....where's that duster...? Thank you sitstas! I'm one happy lass.
SITS is a wonderful online community; it's all about sharing the bloggy love and giving support to each other in the form of reading and commenting on each other's blogs. I've met some amazing and downright funny, crazy, all over inspirational people through SITS and made some great bloggy friends; if you haven't already, please go check it out...you won't be sorry!
I'm a mum of three lovely children and live in a suburb of Glasgow in Scotland. Och aye! I started this blog after waxing lyrical in the pub one day this is what we do in Scotland: think Women's Institute but with cocktails; my friends remember it differently but we agree we were all talking about my plan to see if I could live off £50 per week having at times spent three times that amount....hey, everyone needs a hobby...and gin...I was managing quite well, much to their very supportive but incredulous surprise. They asked for proof, they wanted recipes...I gladly obliged. And a blog was born. Now as every blogger knows, blog topics tend to wander, growing arms and legs in the process so don't be surprised if you come across the odd scary story or pointless tune. You have been warned.Thank you for taking the time to come visit me, I really do appreciate it and can't wait to return the favour. Now...anyone for afternoon tea? Or hearthbread?

Hi there.
I'm stopping by to say Hi to you from SITs. It's awesome to see a fellow Scot in these networks, as we sometimes seem to be few and far between.
I'm from West Lothian (although currently living in the US) and I'm moving back home to Scotland in April. I've subscribed to your blog and look forward to following you. I'm a Massage Therapist too, so once im back home in the motherland, if you ever feel like having a massage let me know :)
Love the story of how your blog came about:)
Stopping by from SITS and I just wanted to say what a wonderful blog!
oh looks like you had a fun day....i'm always so busy i seem to miss out on all the fun! i did join up at sits when i first started blogging but didn't really get to know anyone...sill me because i've been missing good ol chit chat 'real time'...as real as a mum of 7 can get these day anyways. i did immerse myself in a new hobby for a week....gosh dare i go further my life will be over in a flash at this rate.
Happy SITS day! and i agree they couldn't pick a better blogger!!!
