Hey jelly babies, I didn’t realise but today is Themattelip’s second birthday, I feel like such a bad mother for not remembering, but I think we all know my attention to this baby has been a little erratic, I still can’t promise you that’s gonna change. I do still appreciate my little corner of the internet though, the buzz I get from a new subscriber or when a work colleague tells me they read my post, it makes my day! 🙂

So happy birthday Themattelip, you’ve just about survived 2 years!

Anyway onto the hot gossip, or should I say ice cold gossip 😉 (this is the part where I walk in, nudge you and keep winking at you while saying ‘aye, aye’…. I know, my imagination just needs to tone it down sometimes)
