Am I Bridget Jones?

Am I Bridget Jones?

I am currently sitting writing this post wondering if  I am Bridget Jones. And no I am not talking about the knickers I wear. I am talking about how I manage to get myself into stupid situations that I manage to make worse. Today I am writing about my biggest blogging error to date.

When my friend first suggested that I have a go at blogging she directed me towards the UK's top Mummy Blogger Tara at Sticky Fingers. Every week she runs The Gallery which is a bloggers link up to showcase the photos they have taken on a certain theme. This weeks theme is Hands. I have some gorgeous photos of hands, and have been wanting to link to the gallery for ages and thought now is the time to do it. So to see what I entered as my post click here.

Yes, I managed to link up Tara's own post to her website. It gets worse. Firstly, I didn't double check the link - I will use one of the boys distracting me as an excuse. So not only had I linked up Tara's own post to her own website, I didn't know I had done this until she emailed me to tell me. It gets worse. Tara pointed out that I didn't have a link to Twitter on my blog. How had I forgotten that? Then she emailed again because she had wanted my twitter username and I hadn't given it to her.

For those of you that know me I find twitter very confusing and am only just getting to grips with it, but even I thought I was able to e mail over the correct twitter username. It appears not. I missed out the 1.

So this morning I have decided that I will be turning off the computer after finishing this post and getting some fresh air in an attempt to feel less stupid and more awake and "with it." I would like to point out that so far Tara has been very understanding about my mistakes and I have promised her I will double check any links in the future!

If you would like to see the gallery post that I actually wrote then please click here.

  1. We've all been there, one way or another! I've linked up the wrong things, spelt my email address wrong and posted things which never should have gone up! Its all part of the fun that is blogging, embrace your inner Bridget and enjoy some wine and ice cream, tonight not just yet, it's a tad early!

    Lol, I am a right dumb arse when it comes to anything slightly technical. I really do suck at it. I have to get my fiancé to do anything like that and if I'm honest, it's like the blind leading the blind. X

  • This is a must for those that have young children who we know have a habit of scratching the
    game discs to the point they no longer function and also not to forget
    the rate kids tend to lose things. If you are new to using roms and you want
    to find a good emulator to run them there here is a few emulators I would suggest.
    5" is the result of lead developer Shinji Mikami createing a game that was near completion and then completely scrapping it.
