As a mother of twins, I enjoy reading the Twin Happy blog, and I like to participate in Twin Happy Jen’s Twin Tuesday meme on Twitter.
 
Jen has inspired me to use the Twin Tuesday meme for my blog.  Therefore, every Tuesday I will endeavour to answer Jen’s twin-related question and blog about it here on Mamma Kerr.
 
Last week, however, I had half-written a Twin Tuesday blog post about Dressing Twins.  Unfortunately, I received some terrible news last Tuesday, which really knocked me for six, and so I was unable to finish the post on time.
 
I have decided to publish the now-finished post today, which means that this week I have TWO Twin Tuesday posts.  You can read the first post here.

Now, here’s the Question of the Week:

This week’s Follow Friday blog recommendation is for Realising the Dream by my friend, Rosie Morison.  I love following Rosie’s blog, as it is like a mix of some of some of my favourite TV programmes, such as “Escape to the Country”, “Property Ladder”, “Ground Force” and any decent cookery programme, all packaged into an entertaining read!

Normally, I would announce the winner to my previous week’s giveaway on a Monday. However, it pains me to tell you that there is no winner to announce because there wasn’t a single entrant in the competition.
Not one.
Nada.
Zero.
Nought.
Zilch.

OK, so maybe an annual account card for greeting card retailer, Send Out Cards, doesn’t get you fired up enough to get into the spirit of things and participate in the giveway! I don’t understand why though, with Christmas around the corner, I thought you’d be jumping at the chance to be able to send a batch of personalised cards this Holiday season!

I love Twitter, and I like to participate in the Follow Friday meme.  I thought it would be a great idea to incorporate the Follow Friday meme into my Mamma Kerr blog.  Therefore, every Friday I will feature a website that I recommend you check out.

Today, I’d like to introduce you to a fantastic website, set up by my good friend, James Spence – The Cat Comic.

Further to my recent post on reciprocal childcare arrangements, I have received a response from the Government regarding the No10 petition I signed. Please read my previous post here.

It would appear that OFSTED have misinterpreted the rules, and they should never have banned the two friends from babysitting each other’s daughters. Here is a snippet from the official Government response:

One of my favourite TV programmes, when I was a child, was Bagpuss.  I absolutley adored Bagpuss – the most important, the most beautiful, the most magical, saggy old cloth cat in the whole wide world.   I loved the endearing stories, the magical characters and the silly songs from the programme, but most importantly I loved that saggy old cloth cat!

Well, I was absolutely thrilled this week, when I found out that Bagpuss is set for a TV comeback.  Production companyCoolabi, who have held the distribution and merchandising rights to Bagpuss for several years,  have now struck a deal with the programme’s creators to make a new series of the much-loved animation.
