This week has been pretty miserable. It's been cold and wet, featured an immensely long planning committee meeting, and a death in the family. Definitely not a week any of us want to repeat any time soon.



☆ READING: Check out my monthly reading round-up, with reviews of Roxy the Raccoon and Marjorie Benton Cooke.
☆ WRITING: Is Breast Best? - why the bottle vs breast debate is really kind of redundant.
☆ WATCHING: The new Fireman Sam. We don't normally watch much modern kids' TV, so it was a bit of a shock to the system. Why has everything been remade in bad CGI these days? How does Pontypandy have mountain rescue vehicles, multiple fire trucks, a search helicopter, etc, when it has a population of 12 - and how on earth do they get away with scrambling them for a cat stuck down a well? Questions, questions, so many questions.
☆ LISTENING: Anthony has been subjecting me to his Desert Island Discs selection.
☆ EATING: I did the 25 Questions Food Tag this week, with plenty of info on my eating habits.
☆ REVIEWING: Wise Words For Kids - I'm running a giveaway on the post too.

I posted a guide to monthly blog linkies, wrote about Black Friday for this week's #FridayFrivolity, and launched a new Twitter competition:
