Stressed!

I'm going to preface this blog post with some excerpts from a fellow amateur 'blogger'... my old school friend, Rebecca.  In response to today's ridiculous Daily Fail hoo-ha about Slummy Mummy Bloggers she had the following to say:

OK, the word “blog” sends many people running for the hills. Blogs give people like myself a chance to diarise an important phase in their life, or to spread a message, or simply to share stories, and so, by their nature, blogs can be somewhat self-important. I’m aware of that...
The point is that everyone has coping strategies. Blogging is just one. Reading a blog is another. Having a gin or two, or going out on the raz – they’re all a means with which to recalibrate. And I’m sorry – everyone needs to recalibrate sometimes. When you don’t, that’s when the problems start.

She's hit the nail on the head.  I don't need, or expect, to reach millions of subscribers.  Let's face it, probably the only people really interested in my vlogs will be my Mum, Dad, Claire, and Nanny Alice ... and I expect there will be a big element of loyalty involved in their viewing!  But it is a helpful distraction, and one that I really need given that I'm too stressed to do the things I should be doing and need something else to focus my energy on!

So here's another vlog I made whilst my 12-year old made dinner for himself and his brothers, and consider it two fingers up to the Daily Fail!
