It’s day 8 of Blogtober. It is #LibrariesWeek, therefore today’s prompt is “hearing them read…” Rather than talking about reading, specifically; I’m taking today as an opportunity to discuss the other things our local library offers. We live in Salford, and our local library is in Swinton. As well as the books you’d expect to find, Swinton…
Today is day 7 of Blogtober, and the theme is Gross Motor Skills in honour of Dyspraxia Awareness Week. Honestly, I don’t really know enough about Dyspraxia to write a blog post on it, so instead, I have chose my own “G” Theme…. Growing out my grey hair! I blogged a couple of weeks ago…
Today is National Badger Day, and the prompt for day 6 of Blogtober is Forest Animals. With that in mind, I’ve decided to put together a list of 10 interesting badger facts…. how many did you know? Badger Facts: 1). A male Badger is called a Boar and a female badger is a Sow –…
Today is world teachers day, so of course Blogtober’s prompt of the day is Education. I’m going to share the story of a special teacher, who made a massive difference to my life. Back when I was in year 4, (or 2nd year Juniors), I had a teacher called Mrs Roach. I’d had a lot…
I’ve written a few poems over the years, over on my other blog. With it being National Poetre Day today, I thought I’d share some here. The two which spring to mind are the ones I wrote when my parents passed away. I am no poet. I write for me, not for others. It was…
I don’t talk much about my hubby over here, but maybe it’s time I changed that. When better to start than today – national boyfriend day. (OK, OK… day 3 of Blogtober’s theme is Couples, so that may have twisted my arm, really)! I figured I’d talk about our first date, and the early part…
I am the proud owner of a pair of small boobs, and today I’m sharing how to check small boobs for cancer. Why, you ask? October is breast cancer awareness month, so the Blogtober prompt for day 2 is “boobs”. The word itself makes me laugh a little. Mostly with embarrassment. How to check small…
When I heard about Blogtober, I knew I had to join in. The idea is: Mandi over at Big Family Chaos has put together a list of daily prompts. I write a blog post each day, based on that day’s prompt. (The full list is at the bottom of this post). Today’s prompts were, “All…
GirlsGospel has been online since 28th June 2018. That’s just over 3 months (or 14 weeks if you want to be precise). I’ve been blogging for much longer though, so already had an idea of how I could earn money from a new blog. My own blogging journey started in 2009, when I created a…
Autumn is my favourite season, and this year, I want to try to mix things up when it comes to Autumn Fashion. Usually, when buying clothes for myself, I tend to stick to skinny jeans, and t-shirts (long sleeved ones in Winter). Or I’ll wear leggings and a tunic if I want to make a bit…
