Picture this. A 44 year old mother of two, so technically incompetent she can't even figure out how to use her I-Phone, up before dawn to tweet some young, hip, computer dude giving him advice on the technical details of his hugely successful internet biz. Yep that's been me the past few days. Stop laughing and read on. Late last week I ended up … [Read more...]
Resuming Normal Programming
Howdy folks. Been a little quiet on Shambolic Living the last few days but I'M BACK. Last week proved to be a tad overwhelming - dealing with the loss of a loved pet, helping to coordinate a massive work event and a quick trip to Sydney to take the kids to the Harry Potter Exhibition and then for a touch of art culture at the Picasso Exhibition at … [Read more...]

Welcoming strangers into your life to comment on the thoughts that tumble from your mind. The habit of blogging is slowly beginning to ingrain itself into my daily life. … [Read more...]
Mrs Sparkly’s Ten Commandments

A Journey Into Blogging
Three months ago I took my first tentative steps into this unknown world of blogging. I'd been thinking about it for a long time, even tried a little "sea change" blog a couple of years ago, but quiet frankly I'm not good with one topic - five posts and I was bored. Moving on. … [Read more...]
And the award goes to …
I'm not an award-winner kind of gal. I think the last award I won was a merit certificate for English in Year 10. But it seems in blogging world awards get passed around the blogosphere in a kind of "luv your work" sort of way. In return you re-distribute the love to other bloggers you admire.

Blog Design – Questions and Queries
Excuse the playing around with themes, I'm just trying a couple more of the free templates, while I debate the pros and cons of moving from wordpress.com to wordpress.org. So many decisions, my head hurts. The blog has cost me nothing yet - but moving to .org does involve the outlay of a few dollars, I also think I will need a techno person to … [Read more...]
