10 top ten things that turn out to be crap and not ten of them – of all time – ever!!

Hi Beautiful followers of the Panda! My new job seems to have temporarily removed my ability to have any kind of life!! I wake, work, get home, eat and find its bedtime and I'm knackered. Yet over Christmas and new year I reconnected with my Blends and remembered the joy of WordPress. I must post!...

I want to be good, but I also love boobies!

I am seeking the feedback of those marvellous women who, for unfathomable reasons, choose to regularly digest this Panda's offerings.

Lil Miss Mighty Mouse – Guests blogs to battle withdrawal!

From the blue, Mind of a Mouse sent me this post, which was very splendid of her and rescues me from my current postless dessert. I have mentioned my terribly interesting life getting in the way of my Blog, but I hope to have a post for the weekend. Meanwhile Mouse has reminded me of...

New Words Part II – Neoblogisms

Neoblogism - A new word invented especially for bloggers 🙂 Welcome to part two of my dictionary suggestions (part one here). I apologise to all that I barely have time to post at the moment, and I will try to catch up on reading other people's doo-dads when things quieten down a little. Meanwhile, there...
