We'll start with today's big news and, spoiler, it's not great. Don't panic just yet - it's waaay too early to fret - you don't even know what you'd be fretting over...

This is very different from all of my other giveaways, and not something I've entered into before, but I was contacted by the lovely Danielle from Mama The Fox blog and asked if I wanted to join her and some other bloggers for a $100 worldwide PayPal giveaway. Why not? It's Spring, and $100 (approx £66) would buy you something nice for the garden, or a treat if you are Spring cleaning and tidying up the house, or just something new to wear this Summer.
