Hi,
So anyway, if you feel like learning nearly everything I know about the Space Hopper and how much fun it is to fall off one, pop over and have a look.
Otherwise just admire my shiny link for a while and ponder whether I really am selfish after all.

PS During my research for the hopper post I’ve found three entertaining Space Hopper related videos but they’re slightly naughty. Naughty in a cheeky kind of non offensive non sexist sort of way (or near enough to cheeky to overlook the offensive sexism
). BUT… If you find the sight of a carved wooden table leg provocative then maybe you should steer clear. Otherwise have a giggle while you watch these space hopper videos.

And if that lot wasn’t bad enough, I also found a link to the Mail Online with pictures of TV show Hollyoaks stars fighting over a space hopper. Disgusting!

This was an interesting post – nice to see you back and I will check out you original blog too…
I am just back from UK and am posting some great (6) posts about my visit and my daughters fabulous pictures…
Welcome back. I missed you
Hi Patricia,
I hope you enjoyed your trip to the UK. I’m looking forward to seeing the photos!!
Missed you too
I have to come back to UK and 4 days in Scotland with 5.5 million visitors for the Tattoo- means I must come back there too and just get off the bus and walk around.
6 posts of pictures are up so far – come on by…I stuck in two days of Sand in the City Pictures too they are fun also.
I got so wet walking in the rain in London, I decided to get a new outfit at Harrod’s as a momento and my own birthday gift. I came into the “Fat department” in my wet trousers and a dry,running T-shirt – the ladies were so nice and tried to persuade me that I wanted to find a Marks and Spencers to find a nice outfit in my price range. – I must have looked really dreadful! Finally I said, “You know under all this rain, I am actually a very wealthy American writer.” I knew I had enough money for an outfit because you had told me 270 pounds was enough to start my trip with for $500 US .
The whole attitude changed – cups of ice water were delivered, and some lovely dry underwear, and an umbrella and I tried on 6 lovely outfits and picked a lovely blue linen trouser and top set – in a size smaller than I wear at home! One gal walked me down the 3 flights of stairs to the VAT officer to get my tax returned, where I was nurtured with a hot cup of tea and 2 fine stories.
The Vat official had already looked me up on the Internet, including my credit rating and was offering me a Harrod’s account and credit….then he told me he used to live in Canada and had worked down the hall from my Uncle who was Secretary of the Interior of Canada…..I felt like Queen for a day…and now I have a lovely blue outfit with new undies and shoes, and I can say proudly, ” I bought this and a bag of licorice allsorts at Harrods in London.”
I had a fine time – being rich at Harrods was my best spoof…
I had to make my own fun without you…;)
Sounds like you had great fun and it looks like you still have your sense of humour intact. LOL at the “Fat department”!
I’ve never even been to Harrods so you’ve got one up on me there. As for M&S, I’m there all the time. Good clothes at M&S but probably not as good as Harrods. Good for you for taking them on!
Hey welcome back! Yes it’s a clique – I think it depends on whether you blog for therapy, to fill time or for money!!!!! and the ones that blog for money stand out like a sore “I blog for money”. Cool post and my hubby came in to read it (which is rarer than a four eyed albino ostrich) – incidently the woman laughing in the 3rd video sounds exactly like me, unbelievably like me, I’m sure I would recall filming that!!!
Yeah, it feels like the blogging elite spent the whole of August promoting each others books, or products. As a result I ended up dumping most of them from my feed reader. I suppose I’d do the same in their position.
Making money from a blog is difficult, especially if you rely solely on social traffic, because as I’ve found over the last year, social traffic won’t click the ads. I suppose the trick is to draw traffic through the search engines without it looking too obvious to savvy social readers?
As for the Space Hoppers… did your hubby read the post? Or was it the classical music he came to listen to?? LOL
PS You have a very naughty laugh!
I think he was lured by the bouncing, that constant jiggling (and my naughty laugh!)- oh get out of here – he’ll be back for a second look!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t lie. I’ve played the first two space hopper videos several times and the last video just twice. Once when I found it on YouTube and once when I tested it here. LOL
After reading Kelloggsville’s comments I will need to re look at the videos!
