Need a long walk

 So, I'm sat here, spent the last hour navigating how to do a blog roll, thought I had done it, but clicking on show blog button nothing shows up other than my posts, I have comments to reply to, things I need to say on blogs, of course I have things to say :) normally I would get one of the kids to sort out my tech issues, can't really with this, so going for a walk in the sunshine and will try again later! 

and a bird has shit on my clean sheets I not long put out to dry, ok mini rant over.

    ugh - it's so frustrating to have glitches when setting up your blog .. I used to have "like dislike more" buttons on my posts - they disappeared and I can't find them again :( so yeah I know how frustrating it is...

    IF you would like some help setting up your blog roll .. I am willing to give you a helping hand .. it's not really all that difficult - it can be a bit time consuming..... It should pick up on the blogs your following - but sometimes it doesn't... on my blog it picks up some .. but not others .. shrug..

      Oh yes please, I have found the widget thing where you add the blogroll, so what I was then doing was say going to your blog, copying the web address, and then pasting into the box, pressing save, but nothing changed, so somewhere I am going wrong!

      help is much appreciated.

      Ok - you are sure your 'gadget' is Blog roll right? not Link???
      AND you did save it before checking 'view' right?

      AND when you added the blogs it showed up in the little box? the list I mean?

      I'm pretty sure it's something simple... BUT not being able to see what you are doing - or see what you see..... it's more difficult to help than I thought :(

      IF all else fails - you could try googling it??

      one other idea - have you "followed" any blogs?? if not try going to all the blogs you read and hit "follow". THEN go to your Blog list gadget and select "blogs I follow" then a list will come up and all you have to do is check off the ones you want on your list... (probably all of them if you followed your favourites)

    I would take Morningstar up on her offer. For those who know how to do these things it's sorta easy I guess. I've never been able to do a darn thing myself and have had several friends as my tech people. Thankfully now the kids are old enough where I do ask them for help. As my daughter says, "I'll help you, but I'm closing my eyes while I do it!" LOL!

      I definitely am asking for help, I was getting really frustrated and just had to walk away, which I needed its a beautiful day here so was enjoyable. Oh PK that made me chuckle about your daughter, she clearly has a sense of humour! our children don't know about the ttwd aspects of our relationship so yeah would come as bit of a shock if they came across this, I do though suspect they know more than what I think they do!

    I hope you manage to get that help for your blogroll. but if you just want to add it to your own reading list in your blogger dashboard on the extreme left scroll all the way down and click on "reading list" then when the new page loads, on the top right it should say Blogs I Follow. click on the 'edit' Pencil icon and add the blog you want to read there.

      N i know this is kinda a silly thing to say, but after you've added the widget, click the SAVE icon on the bottom right. Cos I totally missed that when I was adding a new link to my side bar. you'll see an X and EYE and a SAVE icon at the bottom. Good luck.

    You can email me if you want sometime - I'm in Ontario Canada so our time if day will be very different. Lol. But I can help. Even with Morningstar's issue of only some blogs showing up.

    You said you downloaded the gadget that allows you to have blog rolls on your blog?

    Until that time, you can also just head to other blogs and use their blog roll lol

    Happy Easter! ( Just the weekend, not making any celebratory assumptions. Lol)

    Thank you all for trying to help me, I have followed all instructions, I have googled, utubed, and it all goes as it should up until I hit save then it comes up with Error400! Furthermore as I have messed around trying to do it, I have no idea what I have done but now every time I post a comment either on my own blog on someone else's I have to empty cache every time before next comment or it wont post!

    Going to try again when my brain isn't so frazzled!

From city girl to country gal

 One of the options Master has considered in respect of his parents is us moving back to the city, it ticks all the boxes, my dad is there as well as my sister and our children have all said they want to escape the country, I can understand the children's views as young adults there isn't really a lot here for them...but this is the option I am the most against, there was a time many years ago I would have absolutely jumped at the chance to move back. Master and I are both from the city as are both our families, he took me to look at the property, the home we are in now 18 years ago, I was pregnant with our 4th and last child at the time, it was up for auction, an old 5 bedroom farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, structurally sound, although in need of a lot of modernisation, the previous owners clearly had a love of  dark wood panelling it was everywhere which made the house dark and gloomy, set in 6 acres of land with a barn and a separate 2 bedroom small cottage in a really

Parenting the parents

 First off, apologies for taking a while to reply to comments on previous post, I haven't been active much here this past week due to family circumstances. Last Tuesday afternoon Master's mum phoned quite distressed, my father in law was diagnosed with vascular dementia last August and as was to be expected he is getting worse, and she hadn't let us know up until this point how much she was struggling, she didn't want to be a bother, of course we would ask but we would get a very watered down version, and what with the lockdowns Master has been visiting once a week but in the garden, I haven't due to shielding. Anyway, after the call, packed a small suitcase and travelled to London, traffic was fairly light and so we got there in just over an hour and a half, Master was quiet on the journey, he is close to his parents and I knew he was stewing on the situation, he had wanted them to come live with us when his dad was diagnosed, but they didn't want to and I coul

It doesn't look like that

 Years ago I used to read books, fiction and non-fiction about bdsm lifestyles, D/s etc and more often than not would be left disillusioned, I didn't feel any connection to what was being portrayed, obviously I haven't read every book out there.  What I was looking for was validation, that we are normal, that it's ok to be the way I am in a modern society where women are encouraged to be independent, have careers, to be equals, and I'm not one of those women. If you were to visit our home there is nothing that is out of the ordinary, nothing to indicate that in any way is there kink in our lives or that we live as Master and slave, actually my Master refers to me as his property and himself as Owner, terms I still have a little difficulty with. I just wander, about what people think, I think myself what does ttwd look like to others, can it be sustained 24/7, it can but perhaps it's separating fantasy from the fiction, of course fantasy, the sex, the kink sells, but
