    My gosh, that is brilliant! Have to say I'm a little surprised to see you haven't yet updated your sig on here. What's the new DFD?!

    Thank you!

    If I am honest I haven't had time to do hardly anything. My phone wont stop ringing and I have received so many emails and messages on Twitter and Facebook I am having a little trouble keeping up!

    I will get around to it sometime this evening! :D:D:D

    Thank you!

    It has been an unbelievable 9 weeks since I started my blog.

    From having nothing, to starting my blog, getting engaged and now winning this well, you can imagine how I feel.

    It goes to show that with an idea and a dream, throw in some determination you can reach your goals and more!

    I'm excited with what the future holds for me and my family. :)

    Though am very interested how you managed to make your blog popular and are beginning to get paid to write. Tips, please.

    ETA: Not trying to compete with you but interested in perhaps making a music teaching blog.
