New Year New Competition!

First of all I want to say a big HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my website members, Facebook friends and Twitter pals! Thank you for all your festive wishes and New Year greetings. Mr Big and I spent New Year's Eve in front of the tele with champagne, Southern Comfort, wine of both colours and a lovely Greek meal. We downed shots watching World's Strongest Man and then watched Shutter Island where unfortunately the plot twist was guessed by Lady B just after the opening titles - well I am the Queen...

Bring on 2012!

Ooo is anyone else caught in that Xmas lull not knowing what to do with yourself? The kids are already fed up with presents, shops are jammed packed and the offers aren't all that good, you've eaten too much and still can't stop and you wish you hadn't bought your other half a box set of DVDs you knew he wouldn't watch on his own. Yes, Lady B has had to endure non-stop Jonathan Creek - I HATE Jonathan Creek!

Anyway, as I am stuck in this Limboland I thought I would do a quick blog! So has...

Signings, signings and more!

Morning everyone! Thank you all for your lovely comments on yesterdays post for Janice Horton's book launch. It was great to meet you all and thanks for joining my humble website!

Groover from Vancouver!

Now, before I start, let's get one thing straight! Michael Buble is NOT the Groover from Vancouver! I got all excited when Jonathan Ross announced on his chat show a few months ago. He said 'coming up is the Groover from Vancouver'. Well I was bouncing on the sofa, waiting for my rock hero to appear when on pranced the king of swing Michael Buble! GUTTED!

In the world of Lady Baggot the Groover from Vancouver will always be BRYAN ADAMS!! Ah yes, tonight Mr Big and I are going to see Bryan for ...

Strange happenings!

Hi everyone

I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was spent wrapping Christmas presents and writing cards! Usually Lady B has all this licked by now but what with the launch of Strings and other stuff I've got a bit behind. I am assured however that I can still put a smug face on because mid November is still highly organised.

Over the weekend there have been some strange happenings on Amazon! Firstly a book that isn't mine has started appearing in my list when you do a search for 'Mandy...

Coming down!

Blog Tour Day 5

Hi everyone!

Hope you had a good weekend! I sold loads of copies at the Christmas Fair on Saturday and met some really lovely people. We raised over £600 for Rett UK so this was a fantastic effort by all the traders there! Pats on the back all around.

Today is Day 5 on the Strings Attached Blog Tour and today I am being hosted by Team Baggot member Lindsay Gentles over at Turning The Pages Book Reviews. Lindsay lives in Canada so I think they're currently asleep but here is the link for later! ...
