Just wondered... I have a blog and will be posting about the unexpected additions to our family as soon as I get the chance. Just wondered if any of you blog about your piggies.
 
Only on Facebook - I don't blog anywhere else, as being addicted to this forum, and doing a four day a week job, three kids and doing a degree as well, OH would probably starve if I took up a blog too ;)
 
No, but I've just written a story for a competition about guinea pigs, and I often joke with my husband that we are going to make our guinea pigs 'internet superstars' :), we just never get round to filming them! My husband is a camera man and video editor so I'm sure we could produce something good, he he. Would you post a link to your blog? I like reading blogs x
 
I only manage to blog about once every couple of months these days, Katie. Where are you doing your degree? I'm studying with the OU at the moment.

Bessiehen, good luck with your story! How exciting! My blog is at

www.svh2.wordpress.com

It's about our lives, books, pets, food... If you visit, do, please, leave a comment! :)
 
Hi, I have had a quick look and bookmarked it for a proper read later. The weird thing though, one of my very good friends is Scottish ... and vegan ... and works as a tutor! You would get on like a house on fire :) Her business is fairlyorganicfolk.com if you you fancy having a look (fairtrade, ethically sourced children's clothing and bags)! Has your daughter had anything published? The online magazine stylist.co.uk does a reader's column - 650 words, there is no payment but it sounds like she has an intersting life and would stand a good go at getting a column on there I reckon.
 
I started blogging once, about fleece and the changeover from sawdust to fleece, how i found it etc. But the blog never really got any attention so i stopped it and gave up haha.

I would love to start doing it again, i found it fairly easy to blog as i kept an app for it on my phone so i could do it on the go !
 
Hi Bessiehen. :) Yes, there's quite a bit of reading in there, depending on how far back you go! :)
How interesting about your friend! I'll look her up right away!
No, Jane hasn't submitted anything for publication yet. She has a wonderful imagination and writes really well, so we're hoping she'll be able to do something about that soon. She has chronic fatigue syndrome and is unable to go out to work. Some days she can't even think straight, even enough to read, which is horrible for her. She writes books, rather than short stories or articles and has already written a trilogy plus others! :)

twiams, I see a post about bloggng, started by you, so I'm guessing you're giving it another go! I'll have a look very soon! :)
 
I haven't ever done that but I have a website dedicated to guinea-pig care instead (but it's not complete). I was going to have a section where my late pig, Harvey, would give his accounts of life as a pig lol :p but after he died last October, I stopped doing anything on it.

I'm distance/internet (only!) with the UHI (aka Inverness College). Sounds bizarre, as I'm almost as far away from Inverness as I can be and still be in Scotland, but the Borders recommends it a lot as it caters for those of us who are remote. It brings together a lot of small colleges dotted around the place from Perth to Lerwick and does a sort of collective thing for them. I'm studying 'Childhood Practice' - didn't know you had to practice childhood, but there you go. In its infinite wisdom the Scottish Social Services Council has decided that playgroup managers like me have to have a degree to run tiny charities, so....! OU don't do a suitably approved course unfortunately, although they used to, and I gather that you still have to do some fixed time tutorials/weekends etc, which I couldn't do...

I'm afraid it was a flying visit on my lunch hour. Sophies not much of a border terrier to be perfectly honest shes rodent friendly he he!
 
hazeyg, she is GORGEOUS! I'm so impressed about her good behaviour beside the piggies! Bobby and Daisy haven't met Jujube and Roly yet.... Nor have our four cats......
 
Yes I did hear terror stories of borders and their prey instinct. Luckily the piggies were there before Sophie and shes never known any better and has dimed all her hunting insticts. She ignores cats and everything, strangely all she has ever hunted is fish in a fish tank and the odd crow. Rabbits, turkeys anything she was bred to kill are friends to her. Although when she was little heavier than 3 pounds I did let her sniff Theo and he nipped her so maybe that has something to do with it. She alsi thinks the poops that come out them are far more interesting than the pigs themselves rolleyes
