A Review of 2006

I guess it’s a bit late in the day (or should that be year?) for a review of blog land in 2006, but as I thought to myself today whilst I chewed on my lunch “bugger it, I’ll do it anyway”.

So, being a bit of blog lurker who hides behind a digital wheelie-bin, occasionally having a bit of a rummage through the leftover contents and then leaving a “witty” comment, I thought I’d report on a few of the blogs I continue to trawl through on a fairly regular basis. And on the whole, it’s all been rather good news from my fellow bloggers!

First off, there’s a number of ladies out there who, after receiving a Hugh Grant style bumbling and confusing speech about clouds and sugar pots from their respective boyfriends, squealed with delight after being presented with a little box containing a ring. So congratulations are in order to Surly girl (surely a name change is now in order) and the Suffolk dwelling Frangelita.

Next up, there’s a number of ladies out there who are walking around on cloud nine, wearing a silly smile and continuing to call their new boyfriends by silly names, including the likes of “fluffy-bunny-bumpkins” and “sweetie-pie”*. Still, it’s not always been plain sailing, so goofy names and silly smiles are in order for the American Chaucer's Bitch (albeit in the UK) and Alwaysd.

Then there’s a bundle of joy due to be had over at Miss Meep's whilst Abby Lee had an interesting year to say the least. With her blog turned into a successful book (I made a purchase myself) our wonderful tabloid press tracked her down and revealed her identity to the world. Needless to say, it made a bit of a dramatic impact to her life – although I’m sure some good will come of it. After all, she’s now Britain’s answer to Candace Bushnell.

And as for Spin; where would blog land be without Spinsterella’s unique outlook on life!!
