I'VE always loved being an editor. In recent years, with two little girls to work around, I thought my days of holding that position were over.
But a few weeks back, a tweet from Rosie alerted me of a vacancy I may be able to fill.
And so, this week I've started as managing editor of Ready for Ten.
Of course there was a bit in between.
It's a busy role but it's just brilliant to be back doing something I really love. There's already a fantastic team of writers in place.
The fabulous Ready for Ten contributors include
They all bring something different, but what unites them is an almost tangible warmth and love of sharing ideas and experiences. It's a website packed with tips, stories, conversations and laughs from parents of children aged six to nine. I hope you can check it out.
My latest post is about a competition to win £200 worth of spa vouchers.
Check out Ready for Ten for more details of how to enter.
Oh go on.





Well done! It's a good site I've been reading regularly.

Fabulous Linda and thanks for the mention, twice. A tweet from me? Wow. The power of twitter eh. I have to admit that I did cheat slightly in my search for this post. I spotted traffic coming to my own site from here. See. Too open and honest for my own good sometimes. I still want my prize though.

Thanks everyone, so happy you dropped by, Leta,thanks for sharing that nugget, you must get some of your friends to drop by and say something similar. I know they are shy but all they need is a nudge.
