I have so many bags of clothes in my bedroom that I need to get sold on an online auction website. I just find it so tedious listing all the items one by one. I wish there was an easier way to do it. I will do it in the next couple of weeks though because I could do with the money and the effort it takes is definitely worth the money. I think I’ll see what else I have lying around as well and then I’ll do it all in one night.

When doing these paid blogs I always do my research if I don’t know about the product I’m writing about. I don’t want to writing about something and completely making it all up because I don’t know anything about the product. I take between 5-20 minutes looking into the product to get an idea of what it is about, what its for and how I could use it. For example, when I had to blog about growth hormones, I really had no idea what it was for so I did research about what it was about about the human growth hormone side effects so that I could create an opinion on it. I decided that there’s no way I would want to try something like that and I’ll leave it to those who would! I’m in no rush to get old but I wouldn’t use anything other than skin creams to stop the ageing process.

I used to post all my blogs and websites to weblistings and free web directories when I first got into blogging but now I don’t think I’ve submitted any of mine to anything. I know the internet is a public place and anyone with a computer can view what I write but I liked to keep myself as private as possible. I don’t really like anyone from offline reading my blogs – apart from very close family – and I quite like that I don’t get many comments on all my blogs just because I know the world isn’t reading it! The point of having a blog for me is to share my day and thoughts with the few people that do read my blog and for me to keep a journal for later on in life. I don’t do very well with a written journal and blogging has always come easy for me. I’m just going to carry on as I am and enjoy the few comments I do get.

All of my websites don’t really get many visitors and half of it is probably by fault. All three are blogs and I really don’t blog enough. I just don’t have the time and then when I do have the time, I don’t have anything to say. I find myself blogging constantly for about two weeks and then nothing at all for the next two weeks! Sometimes I make the time to write scheduled blogs so that if I don’t end up having anything to say, there is still something going on over there for people to read.

I wouldn’t even know if any of my blogs are listed on any search engines. I found the best seo software for the job if I decided to actually try and get more traffic to my websites. I’m a bit of a private person – even though I write blogs to world! – and get a little weary when I get quite a lot of visitors. I think I’m happy being a quiet blogger. At least for now.

Does anyone still use website directories? I haven’t submitted any of my website to free directories for years now. I used to submit them all to every single one I came across all over the internet. I think now I am a little more reserved as to who sees my blog, especially my other blog. I think I’m getting a little over the whole blogging thing anyway. I never really have anything interesting to say and when I do, it never comes across the way I want to. I was definitely more into blogging when I used to design my own websites and build them myself back the good old days of iframes and div layers. Unfortunately they are not around any more. Only unfortunately because I have no idea how to build websites based on CSS and PHP. When I was putting new layouts up on an almost weekly basis, I kept blogging to keep people coming back to view my layouts. Now that I use pre-mades, I’m not really that interested. I’d much rather be posting photos over at my Flickr account that blogging at the moment. Maybe it will come back to me in a few weeks.

I started National Blog Posting Month over at Love Duckie yesterday. It didn’t really go as planned since I didn’t have time to blog until after 10PM and Alex shouted me upstairs because Meghan had thrown up all over the bed. She’s fine now and I don’t really know what made her sick but she did eat quite a lot of sweets and chocolate yesterday with what she got for Halloween. We are having a no junk food day today and after I’ve been food shopping, I’m going to pile her with fruits and vegetables! I hate the weekend when I have nothing left in the house. I’m going to buy a couple of tins of fruit this week so I have something in for days like yesterday where I have nothing left in the fruit bowl.

I’m looking forward to NaBloPoMo mainly because I haven’t been the best blogger in the world recently. I barely blog once a week and usually that blog post is forced. I love my Ten Things On a Tuesday that I started but I must have missed about four weeks of it – not in a row – so I’ll definitely be keeping that up this month. Probably by the end of the month I’ll be blogging about the most unrelated and stupid topics like Oklahoma City lawyers and similar random things. I’m hoping I can make it the full thirty days. It would be nice to have my blog a little more active and it would also be nice to have some visitors back.

I have been selling a lot of stuff online through the online auctions website, ebay.co.uk over the last few days. I’m going back to London with my sister, Amy in July and I have been trying to raise some cash to take with me. Alex paid for the train fare and Amy is paying for the hotel so the only thing I need is to take spending money. Up to now I have made £45 through ebay and I hope to make at least £30 more to take with me. Most of the things I sold went for a long more than I thought so I’m really pleased. Lets hope the things I put on at the weekend are as successful.

I am officially back. For good. I promise. I messed my website up yet again and finally had the motivation this morning to get it sorted out and it was something pretty simple. Extremely simple actually. I still don’t my other blog back up and running but the amount of opps I have over at PayU2Blog makes me really glad that I have this place back up and running! You’ll see loads of paid posts until I catch up with everything but I promise by weekend, I will be back on track with things.

By the way, WordPress 2.7′s dashboard is going to take a lot of getting used to. Its very nice but everything had moved!

First it was problems with my databases. Then it was problems with my hosting. I’m back again now. I may be doing a move over to my friend’s hosting as she said she will host me, which is lovely. Right now, even $6 a month is too much money. To be honest, I missed blogging a lot to begin with but I think I’m going to find it quite hard to pick up again. I’ve not blogged now for around three weeks and thats a long enough time to get out of the routine of it. I have had no ideas for posts and I haven’t really been that bothered about blogging. I just thought I would since I have five spare minutes and so you know I’m still here. Even though its been off and on for a while!

I’ll go ahead and move my other blog now because that one is just not working at all. I don’t know how I’m going to get my WP files from it but I’ll figure something out.

I’ve been a bit neglectful of this place recently. I hate that I just did loads of paid posts and then nothing since. I seem to have loads of idea for blogs but when I get to the computer, I either forget what I planned on writing or I just don’t have the time and energy to get it written out. I should start doing a few scheduled blogs on the days when I’m in the mood to blog. I love blogs that have blogs up daily and this is my aim for all of my blogs. It only takes around forty-five minutes to blog at all three places so I really should make the effort, especially when most of the time I’m sat on the internet doing absolutely nothing.

I did one thing I hate doing today; I went shopping for food without a shopping list. I pretty much always write out a meal plan for the week and then from there, write a shopping list. My mum and I didn’t plan on going to town until this morning so I didn’t have time to write down a list. I got what I always get plus a little bit more variety of fruit because both myself and Meghan are not eating much fruit at all at the moment and I thought if I bought something a little different than usual, it might help. Hopefully I have enough food in to do me until next week though. I didn’t buy much but I have two chicken breasts in the freezer from last week and now two pounds of minced beef. Money is still a bit rubbish so I’m trying to make the most of what I’ve got. I can’t wait until I get money sorted out because I’m going to order myself a Domino’s pizza and veg out in front of the PC watching Dexter. Sounds like a little bit of heaven.

I’m doing okay on my own by the way. It’s a lot easier this week than it was last night but its still taking me a while to get used to. Meghan’s not really noticed the difference but she knows Daddy’s not here as much as he usually is. I actually impressed myself last night. I had dinner made, the dishes washed, kitchen cleaned, Meghan bathed, dressed, hair dry, story read and into bed all before 7.30PM! Recently, she’s not been going to bed until around 8PM and although me having a lie in until 9AM is lovely, I would rather have the time on my own in the evenings and go to bed earlier.
