Today, I'm inviting you to visit My Manchester via a poem I wrote in 2018. Watch this video to hear me read it, or scroll down for the text version of My Manchester.
My Manchester
I'm a Manchester girl, born and bred
Half this city's Blue, the other half's Red
Uni's galore, to expand your mind
Student bars…
Today I'm sharing info on what your local library offers. 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…
I figured it was about time I share my growing out my grey hair! journey. 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…

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.

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…
