SubscribeWhen I started blogging, I wasn’t thinking very far ahead. If I thought about the future of the blog at all, I assumed it would peter out at some point: when treatment stopped, when people stopped reading it, when I got fed up with it. Back then, the blog was, essentially, a tool to keep [...]
Bah! to cancer
Breast cancer had a pop at Stephanie. It really wishes it hadn't.

In passing
You may have noticed a certain drive-by quality to my blogging over the last few days.
Obviously, the family and I have been Very Busy buying a house, and doing everything that goes with it: driving up and down to Northumberland, seeing lots of houses, talking about houses, talking about how lovely our new house is, bursting [...]
The Answer
I am nervous about this post, which is probably why I’ve waited until I’m on holiday to publish it.
I’ve written a poem. I don’t know why publishing poetry feels more exposing than writing about every aspect of my dance with breast cancer, but it does.
Anyway, here goes. I hope you like it.

Number 5
According to Wikio, Bah! is the fifth most influential health blog in the UK and Ireland. (And the 2,223rd most influential blog overall. Less catchy, that one.)
Look here!
I’d never heard of Wikio before but having meandered around the site a bit, I like the way it distils and sorts web content and makes it [...]
Loose ends
As an aside from normal blogging business, a few things.
1. The Bra Of Magical Uplift is the aptly named Goddess Bra. The website is here. Happy shopping. (If you are a bra designer, look away now, as I don’t wish to make you weep…. I took the bit of boning out of the side as [...]
Difficult times for guest bloggers
I’d really like to add some more posts from all of you talented and insightful people out there.
Here’s the challenge: can you write 300-500 words about something that has got you through a difficult time? And can the thing you choose to write about be something that other readers of this blog can use or [...]
Going visiting
The BBBB has been seen at quite a few blogs around the www this week. I’ve listed them below so that you can go and visit. Obviously you already know about the BBBB, but you might enjoy looking around these other blogs – they are all interesting, in different ways. I’d really like to thank [...]
BBBBButterflies
I haven’t said much on here about Excellent Idea the Second – now known as the Bah Brilliant Book Bonanza (or BBBB to its friends). But away from the blog I’ve been beavering away on this project to find the best uplifting books and make them available to anyone who needs them.
I’ve harassed authors into [...]
Ambling
Recently I was asked to write a little piece for The Ambler, the community magazine of the place where I grew up.
Here it is. You might enjoy it. There might not be anything new in it for regular readers… but at least you get to gaze on the sight of me in pink and purple [...]
How to get published, part 2
You may remember that, a couple of weeks ago, I told you about my plan to get the Bah! book published. Then, I was up to (9). Last week, heart in mouth, I pressed the ‘send’ button and off went my proposal and chapters to Nicola Morgan of Pen2Publication.
A couple of days later a twitter [...]

- Mr Whiskers is settling in. He doesn't like the look of the rain I have explained it's the same rain as in London but he doesn't believe me.
- @taniaglyde You're right. And I don't even know how 'top' is defined. Just my 'top of the class' competitiveness coming in to play!
- I have gone from 5th to 8th to 14th top UK health blogger according @Wikio. It's good I don't take any notice of these things. *sulks*
