Happy Birthday to Trojan, today is his twenty first birthday...again!!! I'm kidding, but I'm not sure how he feels about revealing his true age...but I think you'll agree, he looks great for seventy two!! (now he really will kill me). You are a true friend and a brillinat dance/blog/video/radio show partner....Hope you have a lovely birthday Trojan, and many many more to come. x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Just a quick reminder to say don’t forget to tune in to our live radio show 5.30pm tonight. We are going to be talking about the issues surrounding being a full time mum and carer. There are so many issues on this subject that effect how we feel about ourselves and what we do, and what we feel we contribute to society and the family unit. You can phone in and have your say, agree, disagree, whatever you want, as always, we love getting your views too.

We will ask why it is predominantly women who end up filling this role? Is this another outdated tradition, or is it the way it should be? We will explore how we end up where we do in general, is it by spoken agreement, it is just presumed, has it just ended up that way? Who is it that decided these things? Has maternal instinct got a lot to answer for? And even if we chose it, are we happy where we are, can caring alone be fulfilling? What message are we sending our children? How do we feel about the stereotypes society has about our role in general?

Big breath!

So we will explore as many of these issues and feelings as we can.

Please also log on later tonight or tomorrow and see what we managed to produce in the way of video blogs, we’ll try to stick with the same subjects to a certain degree, and if we have time (if Trojan has time I should say) we’ll record another video advertisement, the last one was very popular, maybe I’ll try to tip Trojan off his chair or something, because everyone seemed to love the blooper…I’ll see what I can do.

See you later

Well, Trojan and I have a busy day ahead of us tomorrow. We’re doing our second radio blog, another video blog as well as a separate short video blog. Of course, luckily on my part this involves nothing harder than a lot of chatting, drinking of tea and eating any sweets that Trojan may have lying around! But don’t worry, Trojan knows how much I appreciate, not only his hard work, but his belief in me and what I do…it means very much to me.

We’ve decided not to talk too much about the subjects of these blogs beforehand.

It is not as you may think because we haven’t a clue what they are going to be about…not at all, its because we want you to have to log on to find out, the suspense is good right?…okay, so that’s only half true, we aren’t totally sure of all of it. Yet! But that is because we find it turns out better if it’s not too strategically planned.

The salsa blog we did last week has had a phenomenal response, and is responsible for at least a dozen of our friends and family members going off in search of a good salsa class.

Excellent, it will be well worth it I promise. People have told us that it was obvious from the video blog that we are thoroughly enjoying our lessons. We are! We both look forward to them every week, and its great to be able to tell how much we improve each week. So please let us know how you get on.

And keep e-mailing us, we love getting your comments.

And to my friend…she knows who she is! No, Trojan is my dance partner, find your own!

So please log on tomorrow night/Monday morning and take a look at what we’ve been up to.
