Chart Throb

Hello, how are you? I'm fine thank you.

It has now been a few days since my first post. In that time I have been doing research. In other words, reading other people's blogs. One thing I have noticed from this, is that a huge percentage start with an apology for not having written sooner. It would be easy for me to do this, however, if I start feeling guilty about not writing I will stop writing all together. So, to avoid that inevitable demise I am making you a promise. I will never even attempt to write to any sort of routine or frequency pattern. Sometimes it may be hours between posts, sometimes weeks. Otherwise, there is a slippery slop of uninteresting nothingness for the sake of writing something followed by an inevitable and most complete silence. OK, promise over.

I've been having a crafty day with my two little girls. We have made salt dough Christmas ornaments and orange shortbread. To be more precise it was satsuma shortbread because I didn't have any oranges, but it seems to have worked out quite tasty.

This evening has been a quiet sit on the sofa getting increasingly annoyed at the X Factor.  If you are an X Factor voter please read Chart Throb by Ben Elton and think again! They don't even appear to bother to hide the fact that it is rigged anymore. It's more "look at us fooling you into believing you actually have any influence over who the winner is" attitude What's more, there's nothing you can do about it other than turn off, which is what I now intend to do. I have nothing against the contestants, or anyone on the show personally, but when the audience are shouting one name every week and the other person stays in, something is going wrong! Ooh, quite the rant from the newbie blogger. Oh well, it's late and I'm tired. I shall use that as an excuse. Plus, I'm guessing no one will read this, so I shall be safe?

If anyone does read this and you've got this far, thank you. Until next time. Have a great week.
