Apologies....

I am having what is officially know as bad computer karma. Over the weekend my mac decided to lock me out saying that I was using the wrong password.

I had to re install OS X but then I was still locked out of my keychain password which meant that I had to delete all of my passwords.... yes mail, network etc and start again. It took me all night.

Then a lovely man from PageRank left a message for me on this months Tots 100 index advising me that my RSS feed and my blog were in fact not linked at all.

Totally obvious when you think about it. I have my blogger address and my custom url. So I have two sets of traffic but nothing to link the two.

So I decided to start tinkering around and as the hosting company that I bought my URL from are pretty pants (their email is always going down). I decided to transfer my domain and purchase some hosting. 

OMG, what a pain in the ass that is.....

Current outcome..... YummyMummyTips.com is down whilst the transfer takes place. Fine - I can deal with that.

but then......

I get the phone call that I have been waiting for since before Christmas regarding the presentations that I have to prepare for my meeting in Barcelona next week. I knew I would be told at the last minute - and guess what? I was.

Biggest mistake of the day was hitting upload template to blogger for a client page that I have been working on. As I was on the phone my mac didn't have my full attention and I failed to realise that i had in fact published the client blog right on top of mine........

Long and short of it is that I have managed to rescue my content (by taking the source code from a Google cashe). This gave me the front page and 7 most recent entries but nothing else......

So after a few tears and a fair bit of moaning I switched to a standard template and all of my content returned! Hurray.....

Now I have to re-work my layout... but its passed midnight, I have two meetings tomorrow,and  I have all of the work to do for Barcelona - by tomorrow...

So please bare with me..
and in a shocking twist of fate.... I have a back up the cats blog..... I mean what is that about??

My 2010 mood board

I have been pulling together my review of the year post for the last couple of days.... but I'm still only at May! So when I saw this post from Rosie Scribble my Blythe sister, who had nicked the idea from Not Super Mum who nicked it from ThatGirl, I thought - what the hell.....

So please enjoy my personal mood board of inspiration for 2010.

From top left we have.... 

1. My hubby, the amazing Yan To - having just launched his first womenswear collection he will be showing at On/Off in Feb.

2. My new kitty Cheryl... she is a super oft Cornish Rex and my new baby! Did you know that she has her own kitty blog at TotallyKitty?

second line from left....

3. FunnyGirl.. the funniest kid in my life - she brings light and joy to every path she meets.

4. TotallySonny, my no2 son - a geeky scorpio blogger just like me!

5. No1 son.... now off at uni and who would have guessed that he would be planning a career in the media too?

6. My new addiction, Blythe. The amazing doll who was originally produced for just one year in 1972 ( the year I was born). Alas she was ahead of her time. I love her style and in all honesty she's as photogenic as ModelGirl!

7. My no1 daughter - ModelGirl (in pic with me). She inspires me and challenges me in equal measure. I love her with all my heart after longing for a daughter for so many years.

8. The dress... I love this dress. My hubby made it for me and it makes me look and feel like a total princess.

9. ModelGirl in her full modelling glory. She has the ability to be totally amazing.

10. TotallySonny was so excited by my blog that he started blogging himself. Amazing for an eight year old boy.

11. My beautiful custom Blythe once again... this one is for RosieScribble.

12. My other new addiction... Big Eye Art. I have loads of pics and if you ever see any at car boot sales or thrift sales, please buy them for me! This is my fav... and why wouldn't it be? Those big sad eyes are so me!

13. My babies.... say no more. xx
