The Many Faces of Caitlin Moran



Last November I went to the first Mumsnet Blogfest. I'm such an awesome blogger that it has only taken me eleven months to write about it. Finger on the pulse, me.

Still, better late than never.

To top off a slick, professional, yet friendly conference I nabbed a front row seat for keynote speaker, Caitlin Moran. Being a complete Caitlin fan-girl I snapped away all the way though her funny and wise turn. The woman can talk and pull faces, all at the same time. Who knew?

What I loved about Blogfest was that it wasn't the usual crowd. There were some familiar faces, and I was grateful for that, but because I wasn't bumping into friends every two seconds I was able to widen my blogging circle.

The sessions were mostly useful, although I felt the speakers were quite journo-heavy.

As soon as the tickets went on sale for this year's Blogfest, I snapped one up. I'm excited by the sessions and will be torn as I have friends speaking at different sessions AT THE SAME TIME. Argh.

Are you going? Do say hello. I may write about you in eleven months or so...

Keep Calm and Blog On


Blogs Up North Blog On 2013


This Sunday I will be going to the Blog On conference in Manchester, further cementing my position an Honorary Northerner. Until recently I lived in Preston. That counts. It does.

I can't wait to see my old blogging chums and meet some new ones. The sessions look great and I know Laura has been working tirelessly with her team to pull this event together.

So, for those who don't know me, I'm Sandy Calico. I've been blogging for four years. You can follow me in all the usual places, links are in the sidebar.

I'm 5'7" tall and not quite as fat as I used to be. My hair is now in a short grey bob.

This is me, Mum of the Year




I won't have a child on my lap on Sunday, but I may have a drink...

Do come and say hello.
